    THE success of the merger of IE Singapore and Spring Singapore hinges on its effective implementation, say observers, while welcoming the newly formed government agency, Enterprise Singapore, as a hoped-for, single authority on startups and SMEs (small and medium enterprises) in Singapore.

    Markus Gnirck, chief of Singapore-based fintech firm tryb, told The Business Times that the combined agency is a positive move, as it will provide support for Singapore companies "from startup to scale-up", and encourage them to be internationally focused from the outset.
