Mission #1

Singapore-Indonesia

In April 2026 TMA will lead a United States delegation to Singapore and Indonesia in collaboration with the International Trade Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. This mission is supported by our Market Development Cooperator Program grant which reduces participation costs by approximately 45% and expands access to international buyers and government entities.

Delegates will receive tailored market intelligence direct matchmaking through the United States Commercial Service and high level briefings from United States embassies and regional experts. The mission is designed to accelerate commercial outcomes for American companies advancing maritime defense innovation ocean intelligence port modernization marine autonomy coastal resilience and clean maritime solutions.

Mission Participants will benefit from:

  • Curated business matchmaking through the United States Gold Key Service

  • Access to port operators maritime agencies shipyards and prime contractors in Singapore and Indonesia

  • Expert briefings and market insights to strengthen commercial positioning

  • Visibility within a growing United States Southeast Asia maritime partnership

  • A cost effective entry point into high growth markets through MDCP supported fee reductions

Strategic Value of Visiting Both Markets

Singapore provides access to the highest concentration of maritime decision makers in Asia while Indonesia offers scale rapid modernization and growing demand for applied technologies. Together these markets give U.S. companies a balanced entry point into both mature and emerging commercial environments.

Singapore Maritime Week offers a premier venue for visibility relationship building and intelligence gathering. Indonesia offers direct access to one of the world’s largest archipelagic nations with significant needs in port expansion maritime domain awareness coastal protection ocean energy and vessel efficiency.
