Tens of thousands of attendees at Tech Week Singapore and the eCommerce Expo will be able to access the Amazon Global Selling pavilion.

Anand Palit, Head of Amazon Global Selling, Southeast Asia, said, ''Our theme this year is 'Go Global from the Get Go', because we have seen and know that there is strong appetite for businesses in Singapore, and SEA countries such as the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia, to grow their business through cross-border e-commerce. At this year's Summit, we aim to help businesses from these countries to discover innovative solutions and make better use of the selling and advertising tools from Amazon to continue to carve out new ways to bring their businesses to new heights."

Demonstrating impact and showcasing seller success across the region

The upcoming Summit will feature top Amazon Global Sellers from both Singapore, the US and Australia. Through the inspiring stories of these sellers, attendees can expect to learn from their experiences and hear first-hand, how they have leveraged Amazon's services and tools to scale their businesses globally.

"As a local home fragrance brand that started in a humble HDB flat, Amazon Global Selling has been instrumental in the transformation of our brand into a global 7-figure brand, enabling Pristine to reach customers in US, Canada and in Europe. Our hotel-inspired fragrances are well-loved by our Amazon customers, gaining more than 20,000 5-star reviews. We are excited to introduce new products on Amazon.com such as our car diffusers in Q4 this year. We hope to become an 8-figure seller by the end of 2025," said Lincoln Thong, co-founder of Pristine, an Amazon global seller in the US, Canada, and UK.
