West Tech Fest is delighted to launch the Team WA Mission to Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2025 — connecting Western Australian startup and ecosystem talent with global investors, founders, and opportunities. Supported by West Tech Fest, the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation and Spacecubed.
THE MISSION
This mission presents a powerful opportunity to deepen connections between Western Australia’s innovation ecosystem and Singapore, one of Asia’s most vibrant hubs for technology and entrepreneurship.
Singapore is where innovation and opportunity collide. As a global leader in deep tech, investment, and startup development, it’s home to countless accelerators, innovation precincts, and venture capital firms. Through SWITCH (Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology), the region brings together global changemakers across health, climate, manufacturing, media, digital tech and more, making it the perfect platform to showcase Western Australian talent.
