Singapore is an island-state in Southeast Asia, connected by bridges to Malaysia. Located at one of the crossroads of the world, Singapore’s strategic position has helped it grow into a major centre for trade, communications and tourism. This dynamic rich city combines all the varieties of Asian culture, cuisine art and architecture.

Foreign investment and government-led island-wide industrialization have created a modern economy based on electronics and manufacturing, featuring warehouses and financial trade centering around the country’s strategic location. Singapore’s Jurong Island is also an up & coming area for the chemical industries, with some of the world’s biggest chemical companies building plants and research centers here. Singapore embodies the finest of East & West, and has been for centuries the bridge between those two different worlds.
