The Next Phase of Enterprise Growth

About The Event

This event is jointly organised with KPMG in Singapore.

As trade becomes increasingly complex and certainty more elusive, how can Singapore businesses chart their next phase of growth? Every choice is now more consequential. Business model resilience, tariff exposures, supply chain resilience, these are some of the many decisions business leaders must grapple with.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
• This event is exclusively designed for C-suite and senior business leaders including CEOs, Managing Directors, Country/Regional Heads, C-1, and C-2 executives responsible or business strategy, international expansion, trade, partnerships and investment. It is intended for senior leaders with decision-making influence, and responsibility for shaping enterprise-wide strategies and priorities.

KEY TOPICS COVERED

• Session 1: Trade Rewired: Turning Complexity into Strategic Advantage
Sector-specific tariffs are reshaping the economics of trade. With the latest US tariffs expected to affect around one-third of Singapore’s domestic exports to the US, Singapore enterprises need to identify the right strategic response for sustained growth.

Singapore’s extensive network of FTAs offers businesses a strategic advantage. Deployed effectively, these FTAs enable companies to reduce duty exposure and manage costs, ultimately improving pricing power. This session will explore how enterprises can leverage these agreements for greater competitiveness.

• Session 2: Market Diversification: Build, Acquire or Partner?
Internationalisation is another key lever for business expansion. Establishing a presence in key markets can strengthen resilience and unlock new growth. This session will explore the organisational foundations and business transformation required to sustain overseas growth, alongside the strategic trade-offs of building versus M&A.
