IE S'pore tightens focus on which firms to help expand overseas

Singapore

INTERNATIONAL Enterprise Singapore, in helping home-grown enterprises to venture overseas, is sharpening its focus more on firms that will create more jobs and add more economic value for Singapore.

While the tighter approach may not shrink the number of enterprises on the government agency's help list, it will certainly mean less attention on those which are slow-growing and not so promising, IE Singapore's new chief executive, Lee Ark Boon, told reporters in a media briefing on Thursday.
