🎆🎉 Happy 59th Birthday Singapore! 🎉🎆 As our land turns red and white with flags adorning buildings and homes, we look forward to coming together with our fellow Singaporeans to see the sky sparkling with fireworks and celebrate this proud day. Choosing to headquarter AsiaVerify in this extraordinary nation was the best decision we ever made. Singapore’s business-friendly environment, rich cultural tapestry, world-class infrastructure, and commitment to safety makes this a truly special place. As we mark this auspicious occasion, let’s celebrate five things that make Singapore such an attractive destination for companies like ours looking to innovate and grow: 🏢 Business-friendly environment Singapore is ranked #1 globally in the Economist Intelligence: EIU Environment Rankings (https://lnkd.in/gSqNuWqi.), thanks to its pro-business policies, efficient regulatory framework and transparent legal system. 💡 Launchpad for innovation Singapore encourages innovation and technological advancements through grants, incentives and regulatory sandboxes. 💼 Efficient public services The GoBusiness platform (https://lnkd.in/gysC-bKB) reduces red tape, connecting business owners to various government e-services and resources, including business registration, licenses and grants. 🔍 Commitment to transparency The government’s proactive stance against financial crimes is supported by clear, internationally-aligned policies and regulations, ensuring businesses uphold the highest standards of integrity and accountability. 🌳 Sustainable development initiatives The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, Singapore's Green Plan 2030 promotes sustainability with goals like planting one million more trees, quadrupling solar energy deployment and reducing waste sent to landfill by 30%. These efforts collectively create an environment that supports business integrity, sustainable progress, and an excellent standard of living. Here’s to another year of harmony, prosperity and a bright future ahead as we move forward with a unified sense of purpose!

Freelance advisor | Smart & sustainable cities, and urban mobility. #MBA 🇪🇺🇯🇵🇲🇾🌏 SHAPING THE URBAN AGE
I have just wrapped up a second three-month trip to #Malaysia 🇲🇾🌴, which was an enriching journey. I explored the cities of #Kuching, #Malacca, #JohorBarhu and #Penang, and learned more about the country and its regions, its people and its cultures. It was also the Hindu #deepavali festival 🎇, the triumph of light over darkness! This time, I built on the connections I had made during my previous visit and focused mainly on actions and #visibility. I was privileged to be a speaker on #smartcity at the national congress of Malaysian planners, to be a member of an international jury at the #UN-level, and to be interviewed twice by the Malaysian National News Agency (BERNAMA) on my vision of smart and sustainable cities. I attended various events on technology and demand - such as WCIT | IDECS 2023, World Congress On Innovation & Technology, International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia, SMART MELAKA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, Malaysia Urban Forum, National Planning Congress of Malaysia, Asia Pacific Climate week, and E-Mobility Asia (EMA) - and made new contacts, especially with senior urban planners, state-level representatives, and several mayors. Thanks to my academic network in #Malaysia, I was invited to attend an insightful seminar on #airquality at the facilities of the national public urban transportation operator. Besides, I had the opportunity to discuss modal shift policies with them. In the realm of #smartmobility, I could connect with a start-up specialising in #multimodality, which is quite unique in #Malaysia. As a European expert 🇪🇺 in my field, I met British 🇬🇧, German 🇩🇪 and Spanish 🇪🇸 potential partners but most importantly, federal agencies’ experts 🇲🇾, at the highest levels such as vice presidents. I also had the opportunity to have an in-depth exchange with higher-level regional and global actors: the Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia, the ERIA: Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia , the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) and the United Nations ESCAP representatives. Mission accomplished 🎯. I now have a comprehensive #vision of the Malaysian context and a deep knowledge of the key players and their interactions (or lack thereof), not only in #kualalumpur but also in the regions where I met many great new contacts, which have opened up potential missions for 2024. After #exploration and #development phases, next year will be my “moment of truth” time. Thank you for your support and kindness this year 🙏. Season’s greetings and best wishes for the new year 🍀! Selamat tahun baru 🇲🇾 !

Sustainability Driven Solutions | Former Non Profit Leader | ex-Private Equity | Accidental Athlete | The Best is Yet to Be
Reflecting on Singapore's 59th National Day As we move past another milestone in our nation's history, I'm inspired to share how my personal journey mirrors the spirit of Singapore. My path through environmental sustainability and trail running has been transformative, much like our country's evolution. From a sedentary lifestyle to an active one, from environmental indifference to passionate advocacy, each step has been a testament to the 'Majulah Singapura' (Onward Singapore) ethos. Trail running taught me resilience and the importance of sustainable progress - values deeply ingrained in Singapore's DNA. Every challenging route conquered reminds me of our collective ability to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger. I've seen firsthand how individual actions can create significant positive impact, contributing to our collective progress. This journey has enhanced every aspect of my life - improving my work performance, enriching personal relationships, and deepening my connection to our environment and community. To my fellow Singaporeans and professionals: I encourage you to find your own path of growth and contribution. Whether it's through career development, community service, or personal passions, embracing continuous improvement can lead to remarkable individual and collective progress. As we move forward from this National Day, let's continue to embody the spirit of 'Majulah Singapura' in all we do. Together, we can create a more sustainable, resilient, and prosperous future for Singapore and beyond. What's your 'trail' towards a better tomorrow? #PostNationalDayReflection #SustainableSingapore #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #MajulahSingapura

The Matcha Initiative wishes Singapore a Happy National Day!🥳🎉 In 59 years, we’ve achieved great development and progress, but sustainability poses new risks and opportunities for the country’s development. With climate change threatening our economy, city, and livelihoods, it will stand as one of the nation’s top priority in the short, medium, and long-term. Singapore’s 2030 goals will bring exciting developments and growth in the aspects of nature restoration (City in Nature), renewable and cleaner energy (Energy Reset), sustainability opportunities for the workforce and economy (Green Economy), adaptation and resilience (Resilient Future), and circularity as well as green transport (Sustainable Living). We’re excited to see more partnerships and collaborations between stakeholders, especially amongst the private and public sector, as well as academia! We’ve come a long way and have a long way to go, but working together will be crucial for Singapore’s sustainable development 💪🤝 Happy National Day, Singapore!

Lessons from my recent visit to Singapore! The Chapter: Learning through Travelling My recent journey through Singapore was more than just a trip, it was a transformative experience that reshaped my perspective on work, life, and the future of nations. Here are some key takeaways: Travel as a Catalyst for Growth: Stepping out of our comfort zones allows us to view ourselves and our homes through a fresh lens, fostering personal and professional growth. Ageless Passion in Work: Witnessing individuals of all ages working with Vigour or to support their families reminded me that passion knows no age limit. The Power of Kindness: Extending kindness to everyone, regardless of their ability to reciprocate, enriches our lives. Empathy is a universal language that enhances both personal relationships and professional networks. Singapore: A Blueprint for Smart Cities - Seamless integration of #technology, #innovation, and #sustainability - Cutting-edge urban planning and smart transportation - A living example of how tech can elevate quality of life and drive economic prosperity Ecosystem of Innovation: - Engaging with locals revealed Singapore's remarkable journey - Government's proactive role in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation - A paradigm shift in understanding rapid national progress Global Business Insights: - Discussions that broadened my global business outlook The journey wasn't just about sightseeing—it was about seeing the future. Singapore's model of a smart nation has set a benchmark for what's possible when vision, technology, and human spirit unite.
