Leave a Nest Singapore is proud to announce that Global Knowledge Hub Forum (GKHF) is returning on 20 Aug 2025!
What is GKHF?
Singapore is known as a hub for global business, with numerous multinational corporations (MNCs) and governmental organisations setting up their Asian or even global headquarters here. By virtue of that fact, Singapore is also a global hub for knowledge, where technologies, research and issues from all over the world gather.
GKHF, as the name suggests, capitalises on Singapore’s position as a Global Knowledge Hub. It is designed to connect industry leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from across the globe, including MNCs, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), startups, and government organisations. By enabling direct communication and showcasing cutting-edge technologies, the forum turns knowledge into business opportunities.
A key feature of GKHF is the 1-1 meetings, where two parties have in-depth discussions that lead to concrete next steps. Besides this, GKHF also facilitates communication through panel sessions, special presentations, and startup pitches. These programmes create a conducive environment for knowledge exchange, and contribute to Leave a Nest Singapore’s vision of building a Knowledge Hub.

As a testament to GKHF’s power to create new business, one only needs to look at the success stories so far. Most notably, 4 Japanese startups who came to Singapore for business expansion under the AOTS programme all found their eventual MoU partners at GKHF!
