Dear Members and Friends

GONG XI FA CAI! Happy Lunar New Year! Last week was full of anniversaries. While 5 Feb saw the start of the new lunar year, 6 Feb marked the 200th anniversary to the day of Raffles’ treaty with Johor to establish a Singapore trading post. Click here to read my take on the Bicentennial. Then on 8 Feb, we celebrated the 182nd birthday of your Chamber!

Those of you who are active on LinkedIn will know that Judgement Day for the 2019 SICC Awards took place on 30 Jan when our Awards finalists presented their submissions to our panel of judges. I want to express my thanks to each of our distinguished judges for their commitment, expertise and time.

On 3 April, we will announce the winners of the 2019 SICC Awards at a Gala Dinner during which they will receive their awards from our Guest of Honour Mr. Chan Chun Sing, Minister for Trade and Industry. Please join us as we celebrate Singapore’s Champions of Collaborative Innovation! Reserve your seat or join our growing list of Corporate Sponsors.

With my thanks and best regards
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
