GLOBAL LEADERSHIP BUSINESS FORUM 2020


As the Covid-19 pandemic shakes the global economy and disrupts the way we live, work, and conduct business, leaders are scrambling to manage the immediate fallout. But, as history proves, it’s also necessary to prepare for what’s next.

In the journey of development, businesses will always encounter crises of all sizes, which require businesses to practice their internal strength for a long time and strengthen their own “immune system” in order to calmly deal with the crisis. With the easing of the domestic epidemic in China, most enterprises have entered a state of active resumption of production from the previous “suspend” mode.

The impact of the epidemic on businesses is far more than losing two months “lockdown”, especially when the global epidemic trend is still uncertain, Singapore companies still have many challenges to overcome on the way to resume production and development of markets.

The objective of this forum is to prepare business leaders with how can we not let the crisis hinder the development of the business, and even obtain new development opportunities from the crisis. After this crisis how to strengthen the “immune system” to deal with unpredictable challenges for companies.

Audiences: Business leaders, Entreprenuers, Policy makers, Business owners, Startups
