Singapore-based companies venturing into China can look forward to a one-stop service platform with the official opening of the Singapore Centre at Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (SSGKC). Named Singapore Centre @SSGKC (Singapore Centre), the centre is located within Ascendas OneHub GKC, an integrated business park within SSGKC.
The Singapore Centre brings together key agencies in China and Singapore and their resources to provide one-stop services for Singapore-based companies investing in China. It will be managed by business space solutions provider Ascendas, with support from IE Singapore, SSGKC Administrative Committee, Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City Investment and Development Co., (GKC) and Action Community for Entrepreneurship (ACE) to assist in investment consultancy, government facilitation, business matching as well as streamlined company registration and set-up.
Companies can also take advantage of the business spaces, including plug-and-play facilities, that Ascendas offers at competitive rates, to facilitate their business entry and growth in China. To date, Singapore-based companies such as Nicolabs and Dentalthon have set up their operations in Ascendas OneHub GKC. Nicolabs makes health supplements, and Dentalthon is behind the MBrace clear dental aligners.
Chin Phei Chen, CEO of GKC said, “The launch of the Singapore Centre comes at an opportune time when SSGKC is ready to welcome the first group of companies to set up their businesses in OneHub. Through this initiative, we aim to position SSGKC as the preferred location for Singapore companies seeking entrance into the South China market.”
