In a bid to build its small and medium enterprise franchise in the Asian region, DBS Bank has launched Entrepreneur’s Account for Start-ups. It is targeted at newly established businesses that are less than six months old. The initiative will give some of the 50,000 businesses set up each year in Singapore, banking services at a lower cost as well as other value-added benefits such as lower initial minimum deposit and waivers of subscription fees on several services.

The spirit of entrepreneurship is growing in Singapore and the new breed of entrepreneurs is comprised of much younger people. Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey 2008 showed that 81.4% Singapore Students are keen on entrepreneurship. This is an indication of the tides turning in favor of entrepreneurship, as the mindset is changing. Organizations and educational institutions are doing their part by inspiring the young by having mentorship programs and awards to groom and recognize the achievers in this area.

Singapore has recognized the need for developing a strong array of local companies besides attracting multinationals to its shore. Singapore government is keen to promote entrepreneurship and starts by spotting them early and grooming them right. For example, SPRING has a scheme called, Young Entrepreneurs Scheme for Start-ups (YES! Schools), which provides schools with grants of up to S$100,000, to put in place a comprehensive & structured entrepreneurship learning programme, for their students. Another scheme, – Young Entrepreneurs Scheme for Start-ups (YES! Start-ups) – provides funding support of up to S$50,000 for youths to set up their innovative startup.

More than 1,200 entrepreneurs, innovators, business leaders, finance providers and creative professionals from across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA) region and beyond will gather in Dubai for a “Celebration of Entrepreneurship” on November 8-9, 2010. This announcement was made today by Abraaj CapitalAbraaj Capital and Fadi Ghandour, Member of the AbraajAbraaj Board of Directors and Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aramex. The Celebration is aimed at creating an enabling environment for entrepreneurship by empowering, inspiring and connecting entrepreneurs, who are catalysts for the growth of small and medium enterprise across MENASA.

The SME sector currently accounts for more than 70 per cent of the region’s employment but generates less than 30 per cent of its GDP, thus offering significant growth opportunities. The event is expected to cultivate the existing spirit of enterprise by energising entrepreneurs at the grassroots and creating an environment that is conducive for a thriving entrepreneurial culture – deemed essential to address the region’s employment and demographic challenges.

A number of announcements are expected to be made at the Celebration, including the formal launch of Riyada Enterprise Development (RED), a US$500 million investment platform exclusively dedicated to supporting SMEs across the region. The firm will also unveil Wamda, a comprehensive interactive online portal dedicated to the region’s entrepreneurship ecosystem, where entrepreneurs, innovators, mentors and other stakeholders come together to facilitate entrepreneurship in the MENASA region.

The Celebration of Entrepreneurship will take place on November 8-9, 2010, at the Madinat Jumeirah Conference Centre in Dubai, UAE.

The event is expected to draw considerable attention from the Vietnam food industry, as well as the Ministry of Education and the Vietnamese public in general. It will also be the launch platform for IUFoST’s initiatives to support the education and training of food science and technology personnel in developing countries.

As the world economy stagnated, these companies grew 85% a year over the last three years and employ 7,000.  They expect sales and employment to rise significantly over the next year and plan to launch 46 new companies.

The number one problem for every country is employment.  Who better to create the new growth agenda for the world economy?  This group has the track record for driving job growth in the 21st century.  At Harvard they will come up with new ideas for policy makers to get the market moving. Over the week, they will also test their leadership skills, and go global with their new network of AllWorld collaborators.

AllWorld’s mission is to find and scale ALL the growth companies of the emerging world by 2015 to create one million new jobs. AllWorld was co-founded by Deirdre Coyle, Jr., Anne Habiby and Board chairman Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter. Professor Porter was described by the Times of London as the world’s “most influential management guru” and is widely regarded at the foremost authority on company and country competitiveness. Coyle and Habiby recently co-wrote the Harvard Business review article – The High-Intensity Entrepreneur.

European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship said: “European small businesses drive growth and create jobs. As markets become global, an increasing share of SMEs will turn their ideas and energy into exports outside their own countries or the EU. There are huge opportunities for SMEs in large trading partners like China and South Korea, and the Enterprise Europe Network can help smooth the way. We will bolster the process to promote SMEs with an update of the Small Business Act by the end of 2010 which will provide efficient support for entrepreneurs to launch their personal success story.”

Responding to the survey 45% of those involved in raising capital and investing in private unlisted companies surveyed claim that banks in Asia are not at all supportive of private investment and entrepreneurship. Only 12% believe that banks are very supportive and 43% believe that banks are only partially supportive.

Key survey highlights:

• Approximately, 60% think that the economic environment will improve in the next 12 months
• 64% think that now is a good time to invest in private and unlisted companies in Asia

The survey was conducted with AsiaBusinessInvestor.com’s database of over 4,000 investors, intermediaries and those seeking to raise private capital in Asia in unlisted private companies.

The median deal size is between US$250,000-$500,000 with a third (33%) of the surveyed respondents involved in deals over US$1 million and 10% of respondents involved in private investments more than US$10 million.

Mr Benjamin Chau, Deputy Executive Director of HKTDC, is visiting New Zealand and Australia to highlight Hong Kong’s advantages and the importance of HKTDC services. He will meet with government and trade sector entities to discuss areas of business co-operation to maximise trade potential and establish closer trade ties between New Zealand and Hong Kong.

Hong Kong’s unrivalled advantages

Hong Kong and New Zealand have forged even closer bonds this year. Hong Kong, China – New Zealand Closer Economic Partnership Agreement provides a total elimination of tariffs on all Hong Kong’s exports to New Zealand in the coming six years, whilst Hong Kong offers tariff free treatment to all New Zealand originating products when the agreement comes into force in late 2010.

The total trade value between Hong Kong and New Zealand increased 14% to US$454 million (NZ$626 million) in the first half of 2010. ‘We believe the agreement opens up new business opportunities and will further boost bilateral trade volume in the years ahead. It also enables New Zealand companies to use Hong Kong as a stepping stone to explore market opportunities in the Chinese mainland’. Mr Chau told at a media briefing.

Hong Kong has unparalleled geographical, economic and political advantages for doing business, making it the world’s freest economy for 16 consecutive years and the second largest foreign direct investment (FDI) recipient in Asia and the 4th largest FDI recipient in the world.

Hong Kong is the most important entrepot of the Chinese mainland. Under the agreement, the free flow of goods between Hong Kong and New Zealand enables New Zealand businesses to capitalise on market opportunities in the Chinese mainland. In the first half of 2010, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Chinese mainland grew to 11.1%.

Hong Kong’s advantages make it extremely attractive to New Zealand companies. The number of New Zealand exhibitors to HKTDC fairs increased 150% in the past 3 years.

Ideal trading platforms to illustrate the best part of New Zealand

Agriculture is the main export industry of New Zealand and main export items to Hong Kong includes meat, fruits and dairy products, in addition to its booming wine exports. In the first half of 2010, New Zealand exported wine worth of US$3 million (NZ$4 million) to Hong Kong, up 51% from same period last year. After the wine tax was abolished in 2008, Hong Kong emerged as a major wine trading hub and HKTDC Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair (4-6 November) is the ideal trading platform for New Zealand wines and spirits.

“Hong Kong, the only region in the world with no VAT and no wine tax, poses huge benefits to New Zealand wines. 40 New Zealand winemakers joined the Wine Fair in 2009, with a 4-fold increase from 2008, reflecting their strong interest in our Wine Fair,” Mr Chau said.

New Zealand also has a long history of sheep farming. It is the second largest producer of wool after Australia and the largest producer of strong wool. HKTDC Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter (17-20 January 2011) and HKTDC Hong Kong International Home Textiles Fair (20-23 April 2011) are ideal platforms for New Zealand wool companies as the fairs’ scale and international buyer profile give worldwide marketing, branding and trading opportunities.

The medical device market is booming as the world’s population ages. In New Zealand, the medical technology sector is emerging strongly with around 100 enterprises in this sector. HKTDC Hong Kong International Medical Devices and Supplies Fair (3-5 November) is a recognised trade platform dedicated to this niche market, allowing New Zealand to promote products and innovations to an international audience.

To encourage trade development in a wide range of sectors, HKTDC trade fairs cover industries which are well-established or which have growth potential, including toys, jewellery, houseware, gifts, eyewear and eco products.

“Supported by quality international exhibitors and buyers, our fairs present golden opportunities for New Zealand traders to gain the latest market intelligence and, most important of all, make alliances and develop business in Asia and beyond,” Mr Chau concluded.

SMI has 13 branches throughout Malaysia with 3,000 indirect members plus 500 direct members, comprising organizations and companies.

This “Academy Award” styled party which will happen from 7.30pm to 10.30pm would see an estimated 250 people comprising members of the YES Advisory Panel, Partners, sponsors, members of the Media and youths from different Universities and Colleges joining this celebration of Entrepreneurship.

The “YES 2 Red Carpet” party serves to recognize and celebrate the commendable efforts, commitment, dedication and success of the YES teams along the journey of the YES 2 challenge. The highlight of the party will be the crowning of the YES 2 Challenge Grand Prize winner, who will walk away with RM 20,000 in cash and prizes.

The Red Carpet event is also a recognition night for the YES 2 teams, as they have chosen the path less travelled and persisted in their pursuit in becoming Youth Entrepreneurs, who would serve as role models for the next generation of youths.

The teams that went through a gruesome process of shortlisting and elimination (from a total of 40 teams) to reach the TOP 5 spots are:

Cup Chatter, Greenergy, SYCo, Dreamzland, and Voila!

Mr. UV Wong, Director of MoneyTree and Organizing Chairman of the YES Challenge stated, “The YES Challenge has evolved over the past year as we strive to make YES a platform to not only allow young aspiring Entrepreneurs to acquire the skills, knowledge and experience in Entrepreneurship, but also as a platform for commercialization of ideas. In fact, we are proud to announce that we recently commercialized and launched MOB, Mainstream Online Buzz, a Social Media Marketing Agency that was the result of the YES Challenge. The August 6th Party will be a celebration of the success of the YES 2 teams, as we look forward to helping more Young Aspiring Entrepreneurs commercialize their ideas and turn their dreams into reality.”

While the YES 2 Red Carpet Party marks the end of season 2 of YES, it also marks the beginning of the teams’ journey into the world of Entrepreneurship.

The YES 2 Challenge Red Carpet party is sponsored by Maybank, Malaysia’s Premier bank & CPA Australia.

The YES challenge is a business challenge organized by MoneyTree to help Young, Vibrant Entrepreneur Aspirants launch their business ideas into the market and ultimately turn those ideas into profitable ventures. The challenge not only allows young Entrepreneurs / aspiring Entrepreneurs to learn skills that would sharpen their Entrepreneurial mindsets, but to also provide them with the opportunity to experience the practical applications of the Entrepreneurial skills they acquired through the MoneyTree Entrepreneur Fast Track program. Ultimately, YES teams who have proven their worth would be channelled to government pre-seed grants for full commercialization of their ideas.

The event is expected to be attended by over 400 business heads and corporate leaders including CEOs, Directors, and senior managers while it will also receive extensive media coverage in both print and electronic media. Jang Group and Geo TV are our official media partners.

The conference aims remain to:

• Provide unique insight and support entrepreneurs
• Provide a networking platform to forge business partnerships
• Introduce MPF members to the corporate and business world at large
• Provide an international perspective on entrepreneurial issues

through ideas and thoughts by leading Pakistani and international speakers.

This Summit is a premier conference that gathers the decision makers of LNG buyers, sellers, traders, LNG shipping companies, technology providers and investors to be in one room to discuss about LNG future trends, business opportunities and technical issues that are critical to the development of the LNG market in the Asia Pacific region.

In the Asia region, the old LNG consumption pattern which is led by Japan and Korea is changing obviously due to the rapid development of the LNG market in China and India, etc. Asian buyers show much concern towards how to secure the LNG supply for their own country. In 2009, global gas consumption declined for the first time in the past decade and the price of gas in the key markets in Europe, South-America and Asia-Pacific sharply dropped. However, the consumption in Asia is still increasing.
