Illustrative scenarios, not client cases. Send us yours.
- 01

Public holidays
Singapore has 11 public holidays (as of 2026), including Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, Vesak Day, Hari Raya Haji, National Day (9 August) and Deepavali. Some dates follow lunar or moon-sighting calendars and change every year — plan them into the roadmap early.
- 02
Language
Teams work in English. German-speaking coordination can be arranged on request.
- 03
Personal data from the EU
If a team in Singapore gets access to personal data from the EU, that is a transfer to a third country under the GDPR (Chapter V). As of October 2026, Singapore is not on the European Commission's list of adequacy decisions, so suitable safeguards such as standard contractual clauses and restricted access rights are needed. Clarify this before the project starts.
- 04
One time zone with Hong Kong
Singapore and Hong Kong share the same time. A team spread across both cities has no time difference internally.
