Develop your strategy

As you start developing your market entry strategy, the abundance of resources can feel overwhelming. We are here to simplify the process and guide your regionalisation plans.

In the developing stage, we have curated partners and networking events for you to access the right resources to make informed decisions and capitalise on business opportunities.

Here are some important milestones to consider when you are developing your market entry strategy:

Market Analysis and Research

Tap onto workshops and content under Building Business Horizons to gather insights on market sizing, demographics, competition, regulatory environment, consumer behaviour, and other relevant considerations to help you make informed decisions on your market entry strategy.

Entry Strategy Selection

Select the most suitable entry strategy approach. This could involve deciding whether to pursue direct exporting, licensing, joint ventures, acquisitions, or other models.

Partners Identification

Participate in DBS immersion trips and networking events under Bridging Business Horizons to identify the right partners for your expansion.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Speak to DBS partners to ensure compliance with relevant regulatory, tax, and licensing requirements.
