As a thought leader that is passionate about sharing valuable information with our network of global start-ups, Thinkroom releases annual reports that analyse specific markets. These research-driven assessments are used by start-ups and scale-ups to evaluate the market and get a better understanding of the competitive dynamics, prospects, and influence of external factors on a specific industry. Thinkroom compiles these industry analyses to identify the opportunities and threats that could impact businesses, so that start-ups wishing to enter a specific market can use this information to their advantage. Industry reports such as these are the starting point for the Go-To-Market (GTM) programme, and a useful tool for start-ups trying to establish themselves in different regions.
The Opportunities for Singaporean start-ups in South Africa and beyond report was developed to introduce each sector, whether HealthTech or Edtech. This infographic was intended to be used at the start of each sector/industry analysis, providing a wide overview of the potential markets in Africa and South Africa, before narrowing down to look at opportunities in Cape Town as the hub of entrepreneurship and academia in the country, and the host of The Global Innovation Alliance (GIA) Cape Town Acceleration Programme.
Each industry report was developed to be used as an aid to showcase the opportunities available to Singaporean start-ups in South Africa as part of the GIA Cape Town programme – a collaboration between the Grindstone accelerator and Enterprise Singapore. This programme aims to help 20 innovation-driven Singaporean start-ups to grow and expand their business in the South African market, as part of a focused GTM programme.
This report was created to provide an overview of start-ups in South Africa, tailored to global start-ups that wish to establish themselves in the country or the broader African market. While this specific report was developed for Singaporean companies, it contains much information that would be useful to both local and global start-ups evaluating the start-up landscape in South Africa and Africa.
