Let’s explore the ASEAN

OCBC has set up a dedicated team in Singapore and Malaysia to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) customers to capture opportunities arising from the planned Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). The two dedicated teams will comprise 25 experienced bankers with an average of over 10 years of experience. They will advise SMEs on how to SMEs start and grow their businesses and connect them with suitable partners in the special economic zone. “By setting up dedicated teams on both sides of the Causeway, we are well placed to support this growing interest of regional SMEs in entering the Johor and wider Malaysia market. Recent geopolitical developments, the continued rise of ASEAN for supply chain diversity and resilience, and the significant growth of foreign direct investments into Malaysia these two years will further amplify the potential of the JS-SEZ,” Tan Teck Long, head of Global Wholesale Banking at OCBC said. #Singapore #OCBC #RSBU #SME #ASEAN

The recent Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (#JSSEZ) Panel by Maybank discussed the JSSEZ's impact on Singapore and Malaysia. It was a privilege to be part of the panel; Thomson Medical is supportive of the JSSEZ initiative, with ongoing projects such as a green-field hospital in Johor and extensive mixed-use land development in central Johor. Many thanks to Mr. Alvin Lee and the Maybank team for organizing this event. The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JSSEZ) represents a significant step forward in strengthening economic ties between #Singapore and #Malaysia. This initiative embodies our shared vision of prosperity, innovation, and sustainable development, and promises a new era of enhanced economic growth and integration. A well-executed JSSEZ strategy can unlock numerous opportunities. By fostering a regulatory environment that encourages investment and innovation, the JSSEZ can create a dynamic economic corridor attracting global investors and nurturing local enterprises. From a #healthcare perspective, the JSSEZ has the potential to accelerate new healthcare delivery models and services. Recognizing established regulatory frameworks like the CE Mark and FDA within the JSSEZ can facilitate the rapid deployment and assessment of advanced medical solutions, devices, and care models while awaiting local regulatory validation. The JSSEZ has the potential to become a central hub for healthcare collaboration, bringing together clinical research organizations (#CROs), clinicians, patients, and global industry leaders. This collaborative environment can foster the development of cutting-edge therapies and medical devices, enhancing healthcare access and quality for the entire region. Thomson Medical is eager to collaborate with potential partners on projects that will drive robust commercial returns, bring about significant community transformation and accelerate regional growth.

Many companies have been interested to diversify their supply chain options and/or built operations in Southeast Asia for better market reach. I am happy to share information from our Partner in Malaysia Chanchal Lahiri that certainly is able to support these companies. #AIMSInternational #ExecutiveSearch #FinancialServices #Malaysia
