I create and support 1-many initiatives connecting Europe's MNC and startup ecosystems to business and innovation opportunities in Singapore and Asia.

Having worked and lived in Singapore, the Nordic countries, China, Spain, UK, I'm now based in Paris.

I'm fluent in English, French and Mandarin, and I'm learning Arabic because it's a beautiful and fascinating language.

I believe in supporting innovation initiatives which have a positive social impact, drive sustainability, and encourage diversity (e.g. AMPLIFY Paris female founders pitch competition, Women's Forum).

Examples (non-exhaustive) of these initiatives include:

- investor/corporate-scaleup platforms (e.g. Singapore Europe Innovation Partnership Forum, innovationforum.sg)
- exclusive side events at key European startup conferences
- webinars
- tech symposiums
- strategic marketing partnerships

For example, I curate an open list of on-going innovation calls, corporate accelerator programmes, and tenders to help Europe and UK tech startups to enter and grow in Singapore & Southeast Asia: www.access-asean.com

Check out my LinkedIn for recent examples of initiatives which I've created or supported: http://linkedin.com/in/zhilinsim

I'm from the lead government agency (EDB, www.edb.gov.sg) in charge of Singapore's economic strategy. We design and implement industry development initiatives like Smart Nation, Urban Mobility, Advanced Manufacturing, Design 2025, Digitalisation, and Market Access strategies for Asia.

I'm passionate about horticulture, watercolour, startups/tech as well as French cuisine, Peranakan kuehs and other global cuisines.

Feel free to connect if you think my network in Europe and Asia could be of benefit to your business and innovation activities.
