Even a greater success if there is commitment to advancement and acceleration of NAMs… so I wonder if this move will increase animal based research by accessing closeby countries with less regulated, easier and cheaper “in vivo” testing. Fingers crossed 🤞 (After reading more, sounds the focus is on cybersecurity, AI and medical devices … would be surprised if it involves any need for animal experiments, yet it does raise concern about AI regulations and global data sharing).

So I finally hopped on board Swiftie Express and did a story about why Singapore is able to attract all these international acts and events to come year after year, month after month. Much has been said about the factors that give Singapore an edge over its regional neighbours - developed infrastructure at the Singapore Sports Hub, safe environment, good governance, etc. - and of course, the grants that Singapore Tourism Board offered, which Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) Minister Edwin Tong SC said today was "nowhere as high" as speculated (more here: https://lnkd.in/gUceB3v8). I think what stood out for me in my interviews with industry watchers is that firstly, it may not always be viable for Singapore to expect or try to be the only stop in the region for any act, but what it can do is make sure that it is an unmissable stop. And secondly, going green could be one way to enhance Singapore's appeal, especially with sustainability the big buzz word now. So perhaps we might see more net-zero venues? Anyhow, it's gonna be an exciting week ahead for the Swifties! https://lnkd.in/g7uNBG2r

"Granted, we are no longer building a nation from scratch, but neither can we afford to cruise along and just rely on existing formulas. "We have to act with agility, foresight and gumption. We have to seek fresh solutions and chart our own path to take Singapore forward." Above was an extract from the National Day speech of our Singapore PM last night. It reasonates very loudly and could relate back to the recent announcement of the impending change of our Thermal business. As we prepare to transition and form a new standalone company, we are not building it from scratch. While we do have a strong legacy, powerful brands and a wealth of collective knowledge plus experience, we certainly cannot afford to just cruise along nor rest on our laurels. This is an important opportunity for us to chart our future - what and how we want to position ourselves. We need to plot and map out our domains and playground where we can grow incrementally. The leadership team of the new Thermal company needs to think and act with Agility, wider foresight and gumption. We have to look and think outside the box to see where we can play and how we can win.

In prepration of the industry event at the Malaysian Embassy on the 28th Nov in Berlin I met with the Ambassador of Malaysia to Germany for preparation - here are some sneek previews of why ASEAN is important for you: 1. Engaging in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a pivotal move for nations seeking to fortify their foothold in Asia. The importance of ASEAN lies not only in its economic prowess but also in its strategic position as a gateway to a market of over 650 million people. The region’s strategic location facilitates seamless trade and investment opportunities, providing an invaluable platform for economic growth and market expansion. 2. Actively engaging in ASEAN holds the key to balancing your Asia portfolio. For India and China, both deeply invested in the region, fostering relationships within ASEAN ensures a harmonious equilibrium, averting potential conflicts and fostering cooperative ventures. This balance guarantees stability and prevents geopolitical tensions from escalating, benefiting the entire region’s economic and political landscape. 3. Participating actively in ASEAN presents an opportunity to fortify supply chains. Recent global disruptions underscore the urgency of diversifying supply chains. Malaysia, often a hidden champion within ASEAN, emerges as an exceptionally attractive destination for businesses. Positioned strategically within the region, Malaysia’s well-developed infrastructure and proximity to key markets make it a pivotal hub for trade and investment. The country’s commitment to innovation and technological advancement, particularly in electronics and renewable energy, creates avenues for collaboration and investment. 4. Malaysia’s commitment to sustainability aligns with global trends, attracting businesses focused on eco-friendly practices and green technologies. Initiatives toward achieving sustainability goals present ample opportunities for collaboration and investment in renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure. We were pleased to present our concept of Digital Human Rights Solutions in cooperation with our partner Bluenumber to the Ambassador of Malaysia in Germany recently. In conclusion, active engagement in ASEAN offers a plethora of benefits, including market expansion, supply chain resilience, diplomatic leverage, and fostering stability in Asia. Within this landscape, Malaysia emerges as a standout destination, offering an attractive blend of strategic positioning, investor-friendly policies, diverse talent, and a commitment to sustainability. #asean #asia #china #india #supplychain #malaysia #bluenumber #mida #gbpinternational #internationalization
