Create an Event Management Company in Singapore

Overview of the event management industry in Singapore

Singapore is currently one of the largest business centers in Asia which is why the event management industry has become very profitable. Also known as an international meeting or convention city, Singapore has become a top-choice destination for international companies organizing conventions, forums, exhibitions and other events.

In the light of the newly-launched Integrated Resorts program, this city-state represents a good investment opportunity for those wanting to open a company in Singapore in the event management industry here. Events are divided into:

  • –          MICE which stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions;
  • –          performing arts;
  • –          lifestyle, leisure or personal events, such as weddings.

Each of the activities above require certain special licenses. Our local specialists in company registration can help you obtain permits for event management activities.
