A founders' network, built inside a Special Economic Zone.
Minutes from Singapore. A city built for what comes next.
FC Network exists because of where it sits: Forest City, a purpose-built Special Economic Zone on Malaysia's southern coast — less than 40 minutes from downtown Singapore. We bring founders, developers, researchers and investors together to build here, with the market next door.
Built with intent, not by accident.
Forest City isn't a retrofit — it's a joint Malaysia–Singapore initiative, purpose-built as a Special Economic Zone with the incentives and regulation to match. That status is a big part of why FC Network exists here, not somewhere else.
Proximity changes what's possible.
Singapore, Without the Overhead
Under 40 minutes from downtown Singapore, without Singapore's cost of doing business. Founders get the market access without the burn rate.
A City Designed, Not Inherited
Green corridors, smart infrastructure and coastal living — built into Forest City's plan from day one, not bolted on afterward.
A Community Already Forming
FC Network exists so the people moving to Forest City don't have to build their network from zero. It's already here.
Five hubs. One growing community.
FC Network is organized around the technologies our members are actually building with — starting with Robotics, now open, and expanding from there.
Four things we actually do.
Connect
Put the right people in the same room — literally, in Forest City.
Host
Coworking, events and a place to stay, all inside the hub.
Introduce
Connect founders to the talent, capital and partners already here.
Open Doors
Use Forest City's SEZ status and Singapore proximity as a real advantage.
A Special Economic Zone. A network already forming. Minutes from Singapore.
That's not a pitch — it's just where FC Network happens to be.
Robotics is open now. The rest of the hubs are opening as the community grows.
