BLOCK71 Global

BLOCK71 is a global initiative by NUS Enterprise in collaboration with established corporates and government agencies. It is a technology-focused ecosystem builder and global connector which catalyses and aggregates the start-up community. Since our establishment in Singapore in 2011, we have since expanded into 9 more hubs across Vietnam, Indonesia, USA, Japan and China. Together as a global team, we inspire and empower people with innovative ideas and technologies and provide them with mentorship and growth opportunities in local, regional, and global markets.

BLOCK71 Jakarta is an exciting partnership between NUS Enterprise and Salim Group.

The partnership taps the synergies from the experience of NUS Enterprise, widely acknowledged as the engine behind Asia’s leading university-based entrepreneur ecosystem, and the entrepreneurial track record and passion of the Salim Group, whose products are known and present in just about every Indonesian household.

Strategically located in the heart of Jakarta, start-ups from Singapore and elsewhere exploring business opportunities in Indonesia can leverage this facility and community to better understand the Indonesian market, ‘set up shop’ and expand their networks into a new tech community. Indonesian-based entrepreneurs, companies and investors too can find out more about Singapore and other Asian markets through our signature programmes, events and activities.
