Beyond crisis management, SBF focuses on helping firms go digital and abroad
Singapore
BEYOND its "crisis management" role in this pandemic, the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) is keeping a longer-term focus on digitalisation and internationalisation. It also wants to serve as a voice for businesses, not least in the current debate over foreign talent and staying open, says chairman Lim Ming Yan.
The Asean region is a particular focus of its current efforts, with a new business-to-business (B2B) digital marketplace; it is also setting up four SBF offices in the region by next year.
