Who will be Singapore's 'formidable entrepreneurs'?

The country should change strategy to produce an entrepreneur in the league of Elon Musk or Jack Ma.

    WHAT factors must we look at in order to evaluate a country's performance and future potential? As an investor and innovation driver, I put my eye on how many "formidable entrepreneurs" a country can claim to its name.

    But what does formidable mean in this context?

    Some of the criteria I use include having a global presence or recognition (which highlights their ability to communicate effectively); the number of people directly or indirectly using their products and services on a daily basis; the scope of their vision (eyeing a global market beyond their local region and their generation); and their level of influence in inspiring people to move forward.
