HEX International Singapore
HEX International Singapore is a two-week immersive program for idea-stage founders who want to go beyond the horizon line. Bring a new or existing startup idea and dedicate yourself to making it real.
Over two weeks, you’ll join an impressive cohort of students and early-stage founders to learn from business, social impact and innovation leaders, and work hands-on in the vibrant Singapore start-up environment. You'll also be warmly welcomed by Global Victoria and the Australian Landing Pads, as our Government connections in Singapore.
During this program, you’ll get your hands dirty solving real business problems and iterating on your own startup idea. You’ll also have direct access to sought-after mentors, and make unforgettable connections with investors, accelerators, founders and professionals from both Australia and Singapore.
