Techventure seeks to:
Enable all the players in our innovation eco-system to gather annually in a major event to interact with the global high tech entrepreneurial community;
Profile Singapore and regional technology start-ups to the investment community & captains of industry.

Background:
Techventure was launched by the National Science & Technology Board* in 1996 to promote entrepreneurship, in particular technopreneurship. As the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Singapore and Asia developed over the years, Techventure evolved into a platform where investors in the venture capital and private equity segment gathered to interact with entrepreneurs and innovators to explore collaboration.
The conference has grown to become one of Asia’s premier platforms for connecting financiers with budding innovators, distinguishing it from other investment and VC events in the region. Techventure is graced by inspiring speakers who are recognised as some of the world’s most influential investors.
