Singlife with Aviva has launched a cross-industry collaboration that seeks to help startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore to digitalise and scale up their operations.
Known as A Better Odyssey, the collaboration involves major tech players such as Google and Grab For Business, as well as homegrown firms Razer Fintech, ShopBack PayLater, Debia, Exabytes, Pand.ai, Quickdesk, Sleek and Volopay.
Emerging businesses can receive exclusive offers such as free credits, preferential pricing for products and services, and various networking opportunities. Singlife with Aviva will also provide group personal accident cover, helping businesses to safeguard their early-stage growth. The programme acts as a one-stop shop for local startups and SMEs to access a wide range of products and services, including business management, operations and payment.
“We are extremely grateful for the support from our many partners in helping us establish and lead this important ecosystem initiative,” said Varun Mittal, group head of digital and ecosystems, Singlife with Aviva. “Singlife offers consumers a better way to financial freedom and we want to help emerging businesses find a better way to grow.
