Don’t compete head on with Chinese businesses, advised Dr Koh Chaik Ming, on 22 November at the “Decoding China’s New Phase of Growth and Innovation: Opportunities and Challenges for Singapore Businesses” sharing. Explaining the above, Dr Koh highlighted that it was wiser for Singapore businesses to collaborate with Chinese businesses, especially those expanding into the Southeast Asia (SEA) region.
The event’s panel discussion then touched on Singapore’s strength in our familiarity with SEA counterparts, the impact of Trump 2.0, and biculturalism’s importance in interactions with the Chinese.
Panellists also gladly shared how their experience with the Advanced Leaders Programme (ALP) had helped them stay updated on China’s latest in-market developments with visits to leading and up-and-coming companies.
