South Korea’s latest finance report in policy fund reveals an impressive outcome — billions in public capital saved thousands of SMEs and more than 100,000 jobs. Yet beneath the success lies a pressing question for the nation’s innovation economy. After all, can survival-oriented funding coexist with the ambition to build a globally competitive startup ecosystem driven by technology, risk capital, and growth? Policy Fund Helps SMEs Survive, But Sparks Broader Debate A new government analysis shows that South Korea’s KRW 4.2 trillion (approximately USD 3 billion) policy financing program has helped over 19,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) avoid closure and preserve around 110,000 jobs.

The findings, released by the Korea Small Business Institute (KOSBI), evaluated the long-term impact of four major policy loan programs, including the Business Stabilization Fund and Emergency Management Fund. From 2018 to 2021, firms that received…

The Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH Singapore 2025) returns from October 29 to 31 at Marina Bay Sands, marking both its 10th edition and coinciding with Singapore’s 60th year of independence. Organized by Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and supported by the National Research Foundation (NRF) under the Prime Minister’s Office, the event reaffirms Singapore’s position as Asia’s flagship innovation hub — and a global bridge for deep tech, AI, and quantum breakthroughs. With the theme “Powering Innovation, Creating Our Future,” SWITCH 2025 brings together founders, investors, corporates, and policymakers from more than 100 markets. Building on SWITCH 2024’s record 20,000 attendees, the festival continues to push the boundaries of technology and entrepreneurship across health and biomedical sciences, smart manufacturing, sustainability, and digital transformation. SWITCH: Building Singapore’s Innovation Legacy SWITCH was established to unify research, entrepreneurship, and investment under one national innovation agenda. It reflects Singapore’s long-term vision through Enterprise Singapore — the government agency that drives startup internationalization, market access, and deep-tech growth — and the NRF, which funds research and commercialization initiatives. Together, they anchor SWITCH within Singapore’s…
