Singapore is one of the primary tech hubs in the East; drawing in talent, investment, and startup activity over the last decade. The country has a favorable climate for startups to launch and raise funds due to the Government's supportive policy. Some examples are the National Framework for Innovation and Enterprise in 2008, a flagship program that matched government funds for five startups, and the Innovation and Enterprise Fellowship Programme, aimed at deep-tech accelerators, incubators, corporate innovation houses, venture builders, and venture capital firms.
