Memos from the Market: Insights on Outbound FDI from Singapore

Singapore’s outbound expansion story isn’t what you think. It’s not a technology play—it’s capital redeployment at scale. Our analysis of 139 expansion signals reveals that one in five signals comes from companies deploying USD 50M+, with family offices and sovereign capital driving fundamentally different patterns than operational tech firms. While software companies pursue sequential market entry, capital allocators make simultaneous multi-market plays. The geographic pivot is stark: Middle East rising (19% of activity despite execution challenges), ASEAN surprisingly modest despite proximity, and Europe emerging as quality signal rather than scale play. Deal sizes average 3-5x larger than Indian counterparts, yet sector concentration is extreme—just 3 sectors represent 60% of activity. Powered by Nueconomy’s CUE expansion intelligence platform, this edition reveals how Singapore capital moves differently—and what that means for 2026.
