UOB and JTC Corporation have signed an agreement at the ASEAN Conference 2026 to enhance industry ecosystems in Singapore. The collaboration will see UOB referring companies interested in establishing or expanding in Singapore to JTC, which will connect UOB with existing companies and partners in its estates. This initiative includes FIC Global, Inc, a Taiwan-listed tech firm planning facilities at JTC’s Woodlands North Coast and Woodlands Gateway.
The partnership aims to support companies by providing access to JTC estates, connecting them with ecosystem players, and offering banking solutions, credit facilities, and sustainable financing. UOB, through its UOB FinLab, will deliver programmes to help businesses remain competitive in AI, digitalisation, and sustainability. JTC will facilitate access to facilities for entrepreneurship initiatives and collaborate with UOB FinLab via its Industry Connect platform.
Christine Wong, Assistant CEO of JTC, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are pleased to partner with UOB to support companies within JTC’s ecosystems, connecting them to enablers, and programmes that can accelerate growth and regional expansion.”
Frederick Chin, Head of Group Wholesale Banking and Markets at UOB, highlighted Singapore’s strategic position, saying, “Through this partnership, UOB can connect our regional and international clients to JTC’s ecosystem and industrial infrastructure, helping them establish a presence in Singapore and build regional operating models that leverage opportunities across ASEAN.”
The agreement underscores Singapore’s role as a hub for future economies, aiming to attract investments and support business growth in the region.
