The Marketplace was formed to promote the development of SME businesses. Comprising 300 members of diverse entrepreneurial and business experiences, its objectives are to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs and raise industry standards by sharing knowledge and expertise. Through this common platform, companies are exposed to fresh ideas and new opportunities that can help augment their businesses.
Leveraging on the principle of the 4Es - Educate, Equip, Encourage and Empower, the Marketplace provides potential business leaders with the opportunity to receive mentorship and guidance from the marketplace members. The sharing of valuable experience and knowledge encourages the forging of business connections for all parties.
The Marketplace's services include organising business luncheons, forums, seminars, training sessions, trade events and a business matching service. Networking opportunities are also made available for those in the business community to share strategies in order to remain competitive in the market place.
In helping to foster a competitive SME sector, the Marketplace has demonstrated its dedication in calcifying the backbone of our economy. We are also focused on generating a new breed of leaders that will push their limits and revolutionise conventional thinking.
The Marketplace intends for SMEs to not just be the engine but also the driving force of the Asia Pacific economy. To that end, The Marketplace will play an important role in the domestic business and global environment for SMEs and contribute to the social and economic prosperity for all.
