SINGAPORE - Singapore remains a key investment destination in South-east Asia with new sources of funding continuing to flow in for start-ups despite the challenges of Covid-19.
Enterprise Singapore (ESG) chairman Peter Ong noted that while the $5 billion of funding local start-ups received in the first nine months of 2020 was lower than the $7.5 billion recorded in the same period in 2019, the figures still paint a resilient picture.
