Business Insights: Singapore's Global Reach
NutriSource, Airswift, IMCD Group, and Chemical Specialties Limited (CSL) share how Singapore punches above its weight on the global stage
“With our base in Singapore and business in Africa, the working hours can often be difficult to reconcile. However, being based in Singapore has numerous advantages. Being a global hub, it allows us to network effectively, enhances our company's positioning and corporate governance, and provides a beneficial working environment. It also helps in building a positive global image for our company.”
Murari Rakshit, Founder and CEO, NutriSource
“Singaporean government agencies have put immense effort into developing excellent platforms to assist local companies and job seekers to find the right talent and roles respectively. It has been impressive to witness the efforts of these agencies, some of which even go as far as providing financial incentives. Government agencies believe that somebody good at their job can often carry over their skillset to a completely different industry.”
Senior Vice President - Asia & PNG, Airswift
“Singapore’s connectivity to the rest of the region is excellent, thanks in part to its world-class Changi airport. As such, many of our suppliers are also headquartered here, making it convenient to meet with them. Secondly, Singapore is a very business-friendly city, with an immense amount of knowledge to be found locally.”
Andreas Igerl, President APAC, IMCD Group
