Spotlight Singapore[1] is a cultural diplomacy platform that serves as a gateway to emerging and growth-leading markets Singapore. The first five editions of Spotlight Singapore were managed by the former The Old Parliament House Limited (TOPH). The Spotlight Singapore brand was transferred to The RICE Company Limited (TRCL),[2] an arts and creative not-for-profit organisation in 2014 and is currently managed by TRCL’s subsidiary, Global Cultural Alliance [3] from 2015. Spotlight Singapore combines artistic, economic and educational activities, with the objective of creating understanding, dialogue and sustainable collaborations between the arts and business communities of Singapore and her counterparts.[1]
Spotlight Singapore began as an international showcase for Singapore artists and their works. The programme subsequently grew to become a "business-friendly" event utilising cultural diplomacy.[4]
It began in 2006 in Hong Kong as a cultural exchange programme,[5] and travelled to Tokyo in December 2006 with a business element introduced.[1] By the third edition, which was held in Moscow in June 2008, Spotlight Singapore had an intensive 4-day cultural-business programme that introduced the Russian capital to Singapore's lifestyle, and enabled the delegates to meet and seek out business opportunities while developing friendship with their counterparts through the exchange of cultures.[1]
In 2011, Spotlight Singapore hosted the programme in South Africa[6]
With plans to venture into the European markets, Bratislava and Prague, capital cities of Slovakia and the Czech Republic respectively, were chosen as Spotlight Singapore's fifth destination in 2012.[7] In 2015, Spotlight Singapore held its sixth edition in Mexico City. In 2018, this programme will be hosted in India, Delhi as a celebration of the 50 years of partnership between ASEAN and India.
