The 4th SME CREDIT BUREAU CONFERENCE

Surfing the Wave of Increasing Competition
Suntec City Convention Centre, Ballroom 3
Friday, 28 March 2008

 The current business environment presents a threat as well as an opportunity for local SMEs. The rapidly growing Asian economy provides SMEs with the impetus to expand to these liberalising markets.  Technology has also increased the effectiveness and efficiency of operating a global business.  However, Singapore as Asia’s business hub attracts global giants to set up their base here, translating to stiffer competition for SMEs.  To stay abreast of the intense competition, SMEs need to discover their niche in the market and improve their connectivity with other businesses.

 The 4th SME Credit Bureau Conference, “Surfing the Wave of Increasing Competition”, aims to equip local SMEs with the tools and resources they need for business readiness and staying ahead of market trends. Hear from our panel of distinguished speakers as they discuss case studies and share success stories on key issues in reviving businesses, minimizing risks and maintaining an edge in the market.

Participants will be the first to learn what it takes to win a IBM 1-Day Green Assessment Consultancy Services valued at US$10,000 during the launch of Singapore’s inaugural The EDGE (Efficiently Developing Growing Enterprise) Award for SMEs at the conference. The EDGE Award aims to encourage and teach small businesses ways of reducing energy and wastage, promoting efficiency and going green – thus reducing their costs and increasing their bottomline. Also find out how to save the earth via the National Environment Agency’s funding schemes.
