Singapore Unlocked: License, Launch, Expand
Access to this session requires Coinfest Asia ticket
Singapore isn't just a licensing hub anymore. With the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, projects now have access to cross-border infrastructure, dual-currency stablecoin integration, and Islamic finance-compliant frameworks, a setup no other jurisdiction in Asia currently offer.
Synopsis : This session brings together three perspectives across the License, Launch and Expand journey
LICENSE : Ms. Angela Ang
With her experience as an ex-regulator, Angela will share Singapore’s licensing landscape and what businesses need to understand when establishing a regulated presence in the market.
LAUNCH : Ms. Wendy Yew
As a certified management consultant with over a decade of experience leading government-supported and national-level platforms, Wendy will share practical insights on business setup, market entry, funding and positioning Republic of Singapore and Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS SEZ, South Malaysia) as a launchpad for regional growth.
EXPAND : Mr. Harpeet Singh Maan
Looking beyond the island into Johor state which is just a 45-minute drive from the Republic, Harpeet will share how businesses can leverage Malaysia’s growing digital-asset and Islamic finance ecosystem, alongside cross-border infrastructure, dual-currency stablecoin opportunities and Islamic finance-compliant frameworks.
Together, the speakers will unpack how businesses can get licensed in Singapore, launch with confidence, and expand across the Singapore and Malaysia corridor where the jointly invested Special Economic Zone introduces a compelling regional proposition, bringing together cross-border infrastructure, dual-currency stablecoin opportunities and Islamic finance-compliant frameworks, creating a distinctive platform for Web3, digital assets and fintech businesses seeking to scale across Asia.
