As part of the Singapore International Cultural Festival (SICF), organised by the Singapore Youth Culture Arts Centre (SYCA), Millet Group co-organised a Business Forum that welcomed a delegation from Hefei, Anhui. The forum brought together Singapore businesses and the visiting delegation to forge new connections and explore opportunities for future collaboration.

Held at 10 Square, the event also marked the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Millet Group and its partners to formally launch the next edition of Asia On The Edge (AOTE), which will be held in Hefei in 2027.

Since 2016, Millet Group has been dedicated to accelerating the growth of Singapore’s creative industries. Through Asia On The Edge, it provides a platform that connects Asia’s thought leaders, innovators and creators, fostering cross-border collaboration and opening pathways to new markets.

The partnership will culminate in a business and cultural mission to Hefei in mid-2027. The mission will connect Singapore’s creative and business communities with Hefei’s strengths in artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and green energy, while leading a delegation of more than 100 young Singapore entrepreneurs to explore new partnerships, investment opportunities and market expansion in one of China’s fastest-growing innovation hubs.

The 8th edition of the Singapore International Cultural Festival (SICF) concluded its series of anchor events this week, marking a significant shift from a cultural showcase into a platform for culture diplomacy, business and international partnership.

This year’s festival laid the groundwork for a new chapter of Singapore–China collaboration by bringing together leaders from the creative industries, business and government with support from the Millet Group & Global Cultural Alliance.

The festival opened with its inaugural Awards Gala at the Asian Civilisations Museum, where senior representatives from Singapore and China gathered to celebrate excellence, strengthen relationships and forge new cross-border partnerships.

The evening reflected the festival’s broader vision of using culture as a catalyst for dialogue, trust and long-term collaboration between the two countries.

🌟 Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🌟

On 10 June 2026, Millet Group, through one of its business verticals - Learning and Development, brought 50 Mechanical Engineering students from Singapore Polytechnic across the border to Johor Bahru for a one-day learning journey.

The students had the opportunity to see engineering, business, and culture come to life beyond the classroom. From visiting a water treatment plant to learn about real-world engineering applications, to exploring Marrybrown’s local business operations and the food service industry, the day was filled with meaningful learning and new experiences.

Through this cross-border learning journey, Millet Group continues to create opportunities for students to learn, explore, and connect beyond textbooks.

Millet Group was pleased to meet with representatives of the Vietnam Academy of Finance (VAF) on 4 April 2026 during our visit to Hanoi.

The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for both sides to introduce their organisations, share their respective areas of focus, and exchange views on possible directions for future collaboration. The discussion included opportunities in international exposure, student exchange, and experiential learning programmes that could provide VAF students with broader regional perspectives and practical engagement beyond the classroom.

We were encouraged by VAF’s openness to further dialogue and look forward to continuing the conversation on meaningful and sustainable areas of collaboration between Vietnam and Singapore.

Thank you to Associate Professor Dr Mai Ngoc Anh and the VAF team for the warm welcome and thoughtful discussion.

Millet Group is pleased to share that on 3 April 2026, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hanoi College of Commerce and Tourism (HCCT) in relation to the proposed Idea of North (Hanoi) in 2027.

This marks an important step in building Millet Group’s relationship with HCCT and strengthening our presence in Vietnam through partnerships at the intersection of culture, education, enterprise, and international exchange.

We are also grateful to HCCT for facilitating a broader programme of meetings during our visit, including introductions to the National Innovation Center (NIC) and the National Association of Entrepreneurship (viNen). These meetings provided valuable insight into Hanoi’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, and opened up useful conversations on future collaboration and cross-border opportunities.

We thank Dr Trinh Thi Thu Ha and the HCCT team for their warm hospitality and support throughout the visit, and look forward to building on this relationship in the years ahead.

Placemaking in Ipoh, Perak.

Over the past six months, the team at Millet Group has been working closely with Sarang Art Hub to develop a placemaking strategy for the adaptive reuse of a conserved Malay house in Ipoh, envisioned as a new arts centre — Sarang@Ipoh.

We are pleased to share that the team has been awarded the project, subject to agreed terms & conditions being finalised.

On 30th March 2026, the team visited Sarang Art Hub at Tanjong Malim and met with the family of the late Mamat Khalid whose vision was the inspiration to the bid.

During the visit, both parties formalised the collaboration through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking the next phase of the project.

The signing ceremony was conducted online, with parties present in both Singapore and Malaysia.

Do stay tuned for further updates
