Boustead APEX, AIR Launch Season II IPO Conference in Singapore

SINGAPORE — 9 APRIL 2026   Boustead APEX, Inc., Raffles Capital, and Asia Investor Relations (AIR), opened Season II of the IPO Conference (IPOC) series in Singapore on 9 April, marking the 2026 kick-off of a multi-city program focused on U.S. IPO readiness and investor engagement for Asia-based issuers.

Boustead APEX is the series host with Raffles Capital as cornerstone investor, and AIR is event organiser. The Singapore edition launches a 2026 itinerary expected to span at least nine additional cities across Asia.

STRUCTURED IPO PIPELINE AND INVESTOR ACCESS

Season II includes the formal launch of the Investor Forum, a separate platform designed to provide investors structured access to curated pre-IPO and growth-stage issuers.

Four companies presented at the Singapore conference and advanced to a follow-on investor session held on 10 April, focused on U.S. investor engagement and pre-IPO capital formation discussions.

2025 PROGRAM OUTCOMES

The 2026 launch follows AIR’s 2025 IPO Conference tour across 14 Asian cities.

According to program outcomes aligned with the Entrepreneurship World Cup 2025 (EWC 2025), three participating companies ranked within the Top 100 globally. In addition, eight curated issuers were invited to the United States for investor meetings across two cities, engaging with U.S.-based capital market participants.

MARKET CONTEXT

The expansion of Season II reflects continued demand from Asia-based growth companies seeking structured access to U.S. public markets, alongside investor appetite for pre-IPO exposure through curated pipelines.

The Investor Forum is positioned as a mechanism to formalize issuer-investor engagement prior to public listing, addressing information asymmetry and improving capital formation efficiency.

PROGRAM PARTICIPATION

STRATEGIC CONTEXT
