Applications for the Singapore Valley Awards (SVA) close in just one week! If you’re a student in Singapore looking for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a fully-funded* internship experience in China, plus $2,000 prize, entrepreneurship training by Moringa Ventures and networking, this is it.
Why does it matter? Because China’s technology ecosystem isn’t just growing, it’s booming. From AI and fintech to giants like Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, and ByteDance, China now contributes nearly 30% of the world’s unicorns, with many in AI and semiconductors, two of the hottest fields globally.
Why China, Why Now?
Amidst global geopolitical tensions and technology race, tariffs, sanctions, and restrictions on technology transfer has signaled a new era of global competition. While these tensions have created challenges, China has doubled down on domestic innovation, especially in fields like deep tech, semiconductors, green tech and AI.
Today, China is not just a hub for manufacturing; it’s a powerhouse of ideas and entrepreneurship. Cities like Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhou have become fertile grounds for startups, incubators, and venture-backed ventures.
For students aspiring to start a company, exposure to China’s fast-paced work culture, products, market and cutting-edge projects offers an edge that few peers can match.
