4 傅美霞女士詢問貿易與工業部長（工業）新加坡年輕人加入初創企業的趨勢，以及我們初創企業的成功率與包括美國和以色列在內的其他國家相比如何。
伊斯瓦蘭先生：過去十年，新加坡的初創企業生態系統取得了顯著進展。這部分歸功於政府、產業及其他利益相關者共同努力，營造了有利於創新和創業的環境。
越來越多的新加坡年輕人將創業視為一條可行的職業道路。2010年至2016年間，35歲及以下本地初創企業主的比例從20%上升至23%。對新加坡年輕人的調查也證實了他們日益增長的創業意願。例如，新加坡國立大學對高等院校學生的調查顯示，2011年至2014年間，新加坡高等院校學生中具有強烈創業意向的比例從37.5%上升至62.5%。2016年一項全球調查還發現，新加坡74%的千禧一代計劃在十年內成為自己的老闆，而全球平均為50%。
雖然初創企業的成功沒有統一標準，但新加坡的初創企業環境在過去十年穩步增長。2003年至2016年間，新加坡初創企業總數從22,000家增加到43,000家。特別是高科技初創企業數量在同期從2,800家增至4,300家。新加坡還孕育了東南亞五家獨角獸企業中的四家，分別是Sea（前稱Garena）、Razer、Lazada和Grab。
鑑於新加坡進入初創企業領域的時間較短，新加坡在全球初創企業生態系統的國際基準研究中表現良好。例如，在Startup Genome 2017年全球初創企業生態系統報告中，新加坡整體排名第12，略低於西雅圖和巴黎，高於斯德哥爾摩和溫哥華。矽谷和紐約市排名最高，特拉維夫排名第6。

4 Ms Foo Mee Har asked the Minister for Trade and Industry (Industry) what is Singapore's trend of young people joining startups and the success rate of our startups as compared to that of other countries, including US and Israel.
Mr S Iswaran : Singapore's startup ecosystem has seen significant progress over the past decade. This is due, in part, to the concerted efforts of the Government, industry and other stakeholders to create an environment that is conducive for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Young Singaporeans increasingly recognise entrepreneurship as a viable career pathway. Between 2010 and 2016, the proportion of startup owners who are locals aged 35 and below rose from 20% to 23% 1 . Surveys of young people in Singapore also affirm their growing entrepreneurial aspirations. For example, an NUS survey among tertiary students in Singapore reported that between 2011 and 2014, the percentage of students from Singapore Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs)with strong entrepreneurial intent rose from 37.5% to 62.5% 2 . A global survey in 2016 also found that 74% of millennials in Singapore aim to become their own boss within a decade, compared to 50% globally 3 .
While there is no standard definition of success for startups, Singapore's startup landscape has grown steadily over the past decade. Between 2003 and 2016, the total number of startups in Singapore doubled from 22,000 to 43,000. In particular, the number of high-tech startups 4 increased from 2,800 to 4,300 over the same period. Singapore has also nurtured four of the five unicorns 5 in Southeast Asia, namely, Sea (formerly known as Garena), Razer, Lazada and Grab.
Given Singapore's fairly recent entry into the startup scene, Singapore has fared well in international benchmarking studies of global startup ecosystems. For example, in Startup Genome's 2017 Global Startup Ecosystem Report 6 , Singapore is ranked 12th overall, just below cities like Seattle and Paris and above Stockholm and Vancouver. Silicon Valley and New York City are the top-ranked cities, with Tel Aviv ranking 6th.
