On January 16, 2026, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced a renewed partnership with Enterprise Singapore aimed at driving jobs, innovation, and global investment in Los Angeles. The new three‑year agreement builds on an earlier memorandum of understanding covering 2022–2025, and aims to deepen ties between the region and Singapore’s business ecosystem.
The announcement highlights tangible progress from the prior MOU: employment within LA County‑based Singaporean companies grew by 135% during the 2022–2025 period. The refreshed partnership is framed as a way to connect local businesses to trusted Singapore partners and open up opportunities across Asia, positioning Los Angeles to benefit from increased trade, investment, and collaboration.
For local companies and jobseekers, the agreement signals a concerted effort to attract global investment and innovation to the region. By leveraging Enterprise Singapore’s network, Los Angeles aims to strengthen international business links that can translate into new projects, hiring, and knowledge exchange.
While details of specific initiatives under the three‑year deal were not included in the announcement snippet, the message is clear: both Los Angeles and Enterprise Singapore see value in deepening an existing relationship that has already delivered measurable growth in employment tied to Singaporean firms. The renewed MOU seeks to capitalize on that momentum, with jobs, innovation, and global investment at the forefront.
