Roundtable on the Advantages of the Singapore-Johor Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ)

In this event, we will outline what the JS-SEZ offers to Swiss companies and share guidance on site selection and typical manufacturing and R&D set-up approaches. We will also cover key considerations such as regulation, logistics, and common pitfalls to avoid.

Spanning more than 3,500 km² across southern Johor, the JS-SEZ is a network of interconnected zones designed to stay closely linked to Singapore. This enables companies to place activities where they fit best—while keeping seamless access to Singapore’s regional ecosystem.

For Swiss companies in high-value services, precision engineering, and innovation, this creates flexibility to design a tailored footprint—placing manufacturing, logistics, R&D, and regional headquarters where it fits best, while keeping access to Singapore's regional ecosystem. 

You will learn:

• Which activities (production, prototyping, testing, applied R&D) and sectors are best suited to the SG–JB corridor
• How to assess space, talent, costs, logistics, and compliance across Singapore and Johor
• Typical timelines and next steps to evaluate locations and launch a project
• Practical cases from Swiss companies with experience in the region
