LOCAL brands and retailers are set to get increased exposure as Singapore plans to showcase its homegrown talent amid a challenging operating environment for the retail industry.

A design incubator, operated by local retail group Naiise, is due to open at Orchard Road towards the end of next year acting as both a retail showcase and incubation space. The incubator - supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, Spring Singapore and JTC - is expected to feature more than 60 local brands covering the spectrum from fashion to lifestyle products to souvenirs.
