Thinking in Billions

​Thinking in Billions is back, and this time we're focusing on deeptech.

​Growing moonshots from small countries is no easy feat. In this edition, we’ll explore the skills and resources necessary for deeptech companies to shine on the global stage.

​Join us to think in billions alongside global changemakers. We’ll unveil Singapore’s secret recipes that turn innovative ideas into the next global winners. And of course, we can’t forget Estonia – what is our secret recipe? Do we even have all the ingredients?

​Come and join us for the first-ever Thinking in Billions at sTARTUp Day on January 28th. Let’s start cooking!

​Thinking in Billions is powered by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications.
