Singapore, June 18: InCorp Singapore, an Ascentium Company, and Shaw Investment A.P.A.C. have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at supporting the international expansion of high-potential Chinese technology companies, innovation-driven enterprises, and family offices through Singapore.
Strategic Collaboration for Internationalization
The partnership is part of Shaw Investment's China-Singapore-ASEAN internationalization platform. It is designed to assist qualified enterprises aligned with China's 15th Five-Year Plan in establishing regional headquarters, gaining access to capital and international markets, and expanding through structured, compliant cross-border investment frameworks.
Priority Sectors
Key sectors targeted include artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, robotics, digital infrastructure, semiconductors, biotechnology, life sciences, green energy, smart mobility, enterprise software, and other strategic emerging industries that are identified as critical drivers of China's future economic growth.
Statements from Leaders
Dr. Ivan Lew, Executive Chairman of Shaw Investment A.P.A.C., emphasized that China's 15th Five-Year Plan places significant importance on technological innovation, advanced manufacturing, digital transformation, green development, and fostering globally competitive enterprises. He noted that as Chinese companies move up the value chain, many will seek to establish regional and international operations to pursue new markets and growth opportunities. Dr. Lew highlighted Singapore's unique position as a bridge between Chinese innovation, ASEAN growth opportunities, and international capital. He stated that Shaw Investment is creating an ecosystem connecting enterprises with family offices, financial institutions, technology partners, and professional advisers across multiple markets.
Role of InCorp Singapore
Under the collaboration, InCorp Singapore has been appointed as Shaw Investment's preferred business services partner. It will provide corporate structuring, governance, accounting, tax, compliance, immigration, and administrative support to companies establishing operations in Singapore and expanding across ASEAN and international markets.
KG Tan, CEO of InCorp Singapore, remarked that international expansion requires more than just setting up an entity in another jurisdiction. Businesses need the right structure, strong governance, reliable compliance support, and experienced advisers who understand how different regulatory environments interact. Through this partnership with Shaw Investment, InCorp Singapore aims to help participating Chinese enterprises translate their expansion strategies into well-structured and compliant operations in Singapore. The goal is to provide business leaders with the operational confidence and local support needed to focus on long-term growth.
Building a Growth Corridor
Cody Lee, Executive Director of Shaw Investment A.P.A.C., explained that Shaw Investment is building a practical China-Singapore-ASEAN growth corridor through initiatives involving Zhongguancun, Forbes China AI50, leading financial institutions, family office networks, and a growing ecosystem of public and private sector partners. The company supports international enterprises beyond incorporation by helping them access customers, pilot projects, strategic partnerships, capital, and compliant cross-border investment pathways. By combining Shaw Investment's internationalization platform with InCorp Singapore's operational expertise and Ascentium's wider global reach, companies receive a coordinated pathway from market entry and structuring through to execution, compliance, and regional expansion.
Ascentium's Perspective
Gary Tok, Group Chief Commercial Officer of Ascentium, noted that this partnership brings together complementary capabilities across strategic advisory, capital deployment, and professional services execution. Shaw Investment provides access to an important ecosystem of internationally ambitious Chinese enterprises, while InCorp and the wider Ascentium platform offer the infrastructure and expertise needed to support their expansion. As InCorp Singapore prepares to transition to the Ascentium brand, this collaboration reflects a broader ambition to connect businesses with integrated expertise across markets and provide a consistent, client-led experience wherever their growth takes them.
Expected Impact
The collaboration is expected to strengthen connectivity between China's enterprise ecosystem and Singapore's corporate, financial, and professional services infrastructure. It aims to help internationally ambitious companies build credible and compliant foundations for global growth.
