Amazon, Enterprise Singapore to help small businesses venture offshore

Enterprise Singapore (ESG) is partnering with Amazon to support local retailers to expand their reach globally.

Under the partnership, Amazon will support Singapore sellers as a channel for international sales, such as in the US, Canada and India. Amazon said it is extending the waiver of professional selling account subscription fees for new and existing sellers until June 30.

“We will double down on efforts to support our local businesses in gaining e-commerce capabilities and maximising their growth opportunities from the digital economy,” said Singapore’s Minister for Trade and Industry, Chan Chun Sing.

“Through the Amazon Southeast Asia Online Seller Summit 2021, we aim to enable more local sellers to reach a global audience through our 20 stores worldwide,” said Henry Low, country manager at Amazon Singapore.

“Whether they are just getting started or are an experienced seller, Amazon’s comprehensive programs and network will help SMBs overcome operational challenges to maximise growth opportunities globally.”
