Scaling Beyond Borders

Scaling Beyond Borders is the in-person anchor of the UK Expansion Discovery Programme in Singapore—designed to connect ambitious founders with the people, insights, and pathways that accelerate UK market entry.

The afternoon begins with networking lunch before moving into a high-energy content block featuring a founder panel and fireside conversation with operators who’ve successfully scaled to the UK. Expect candid lessons on timing, go-to-market, hiring, partnerships, and fundraising—plus live audience Q&A.

We’ll close with curated networking that brings together Singapore founders, investors, ecosystem partners, and UK delegations in town for SWITCH. The session creates a platform for two-way exchange: showcasing high-growth Singapore startups preparing for UK expansion, while enabling UK ecosystem leaders to connect with future partners and collaborators.

 

Discovery Program Snapshot

Scaling Beyond Borders is part of the UK Expansion Discovery Programme, a three-week initiative helping Singapore’s most ambitious founders explore opportunities in the UK.

Through expert sessions, bespoke market intelligence, and tailored 1:1 consultations, participating startups gain the insights and connections needed to assess their UK readiness and expansion strategy.

This event brings the cohort together with UK investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders — creating a platform for knowledge-sharing, candid lessons from scaleup journeys, and targeted networking between Singapore founders and UK stakeholders.
