The Singapore Italian Association Limited (SIAL) is a nonprofit and non-governmental organization whose mission is to bring together the Italian community and to link it to the other entities in Singapore.
The aim of SIA is to create an extensive network among well established institutional cultural centres, organizations, schools, committees, corporation, clubs and other associations.
In the last few years the Italian community has seen an impressive growth of its presence in Singapore; the need of gathering and giving a coherent image of the Italian culture to the multicultural society in Singapore has become furthermore important.
For these reasons, through our social events, cultural and sport activities, SIA welcomes all the new members of the community and supports the current ones in many aspects. Assistance will be offered in order to interact in the most fruitful way with the varied and constantly improving facilities that make Singapore the core of South East Asia.
What We Do
Our structure from the fondation till today (March 2021) has changed a lot. Today we are always a no-profit, NGO organization with a wide set of subsidiaries covering different areas of the Italian doing business and serving the community. Here below is reported the last updated SIAL Group of Companies. SIA is the mother company.
Extensive events and activities calendar will be running all year, giving the chance to catch up and match up the growing-community preferences.
The monthly Aperitif & Italian Party will be taking place at least once a month and preferably will be host by and Italian restaurant; there will be no tastier occasion to get in touch!
The massive BBQ events are set twice a year; this is the mild stone event for the community. The idea of the Association itself has started during one of the first BBQ: a fuzz-free gathering that surprisingly received a huge response; that it has been the proof that the group was growing and the wish to interact was real.
Moreover, activities like language course, film and music festival will be definitely attracting the crowd which is looking for enrichment not only towards Italian and European cultural aspects but also mutually towards Singaporean culture.
Lastly the creation of a fully comprehensive database is an ongoing project in SIA. This is going to be the base to welcome and assist the current presences in Singapore and the future ones in many crucial aspects like legal, business, housing, family, bureaucracy.
SIA will keep evolving as the world is moving perpetually. This is just the beginning: much more has to come and we would love you to be part of it.
SIA: it’s you. It’s me. It’s us.
