Governments and enterprises work with Quest Ventures to drive innovation and disruption in emerging areas of strategic importance. Speed matters – disruption not owned is opportunity given to someone else.
Creating the next generation of global companies
Scale Next is a programme by the National Academy for Advanced Technology and Innovation (NACENTECH) Vietnam, the National Startup Support Centre (NSSC) Vietnam, and Quest Ventures.
The programme creates the next generation of global companies with Vietnam’s top scientists through transforming inventive technologies into commercially viable products and feasible business ventures.
Grounded and inspiring, an excellent eye-opener for local creatives and their global potential. An impactful and precise lecture every creative Cebuano needs.
Having spent a lot of time supporting the community and hosting investment connection forums, I found the training to be an incredible experience. It went beyond just theory, offering ‘sharp’ and battle-tested tools. I am much more confident now in designing incubation programs and connecting resources.
Ecosystem support in Vietnam
The Vietnam Global Innovation is Quest Ventures’ exclusive program with the Global Innovation Alliance to accelerate the entry of innovative startups into Vietnam.
The Global Innovation Alliance is managed by Enterprise Singapore, an agency of the Ministry of Trade & Industry in Singapore. It aims to strengthen linkages and partnerships with leading innovation hubs around the world, increasing access and opportunities for Singapore students and enterprises.
Quest Ventures was instrumental in connecting us with local partners in Vietnam. Their support made the market entry research process significantly smoother – especially for a growing SME that may not have the professional resources or network to grow independently.
Extremely good effort despite the pandemic period, allowing startups to continue to learn, network and grow from the comfort of our homes. Kudos to the organisers and the moderators!
Community learning and growing
The Startup Singapore Quest is Quest Ventures’ exclusive program under the Startup SG umbrella of programs to support startups in Singapore. It is focused on digital commerce and the broader digital economy.
Supported by Enterprise Singapore, a statutory agency under the Ministry of Trade & Industry of Singapore, Quest Ventures is proud to be a part of the first wave of accredited partners.
Quest could see the potential in Vibease when most people thought it was just a toy. Since then, they have been very supportive and provided us with real feedback. Their insights and connections in the China and Singapore startup ecosystems definitely help us a lot.
The folks at Quest are always approachable and ready to offer innovative and fresh perspectives to tackle problems. Frequent sharing sessions by seasoned entrepreneurs who have ‘been there, done that’ have helped us gain new insights on growing and managing our business. Oddle.me has definitely seen farther by standing on the shoulders of Quest.
Asia is the world's fastest growing region
Asia is the world’s fastest growing region and Singapore is at the center of it. Startups across the globe expand into Asia by first dropping anchor in Singapore, and then catapulting into the region.
From Silicon Valley to Europe, national agencies for innovation and entrepreneurship work with Quest Ventures to help their startups grow.
It is always great to listen to local experts when entering new markets. The Quest Ventures team guided us through the competitive landscape and provided opportunities to meet key players in Southeast Asia.
The program provided many new perspectives on Southeast Asia’s creative and content market. The Quest Ventures network shared a lot of advice on the fundraising and investment process.

Delegation visit to a iJAM Accelerator startup
The iJAM Accelerator is focused on digital technology. From 2013 to 2016, Quest Ventures managed the iJAM funding scheme for the Infocomm Media Development Authority (and at various points, the previous Media Development Authority, and the National Research Foundation). The Accelerator ran three batches over three years.
The Quest team has guided us every step of our journey. They have been very engaging and approachable, and this has definitely helped TranSwap grow faster and further.
