Global startup cohort lands in Singapore to fast track international growth with CyberBoost Catalyse

Three months after opening applications to CyberBoost Catalyse, our second programme has begun! Established by the CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre, supported by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, National University of Singapore and powered by Plexal, we’re excited to help innovative companies expand in Singapore, Asia Pacific and beyond.

With CyberBoost Catalyse underway, the second cohort of cyber startups from around the world has just embarked on a one-week bootcamp in Singapore to help them build connections and design their international growth strategy – the first step as part of their six-month experience. 

This truly international group of ten startups has been selected from across Europe, the US, South Korea, Singapore and Israel. They range from being bootstrapped to public companies, with seven out of ten members seeking investment, and they’re tackling important challenges from addressing fraud and detecting deepfakes to securing supply chains.

The Singapore ecosystem will rally around the cohort to support their expansion plans, with security leaders, end users, experienced entrepreneurs, investors and advisers sharing their insights and expertise.

The selected businesses will receive guidance on everything from strategy and partnerships to investment and commercial opportunities to realise their ambitions, which vary from understanding local regulations to achieving proof of concept collaborations.
