Why Virtual TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
TSM will bring about like minded entrepreneurs and prospecting entrepreneurs together to spur on great ideas. This is my primary reason for wanting to participate in TSM-> To meet and learn from like minded folks. Successful entrepreneurs are world changers and it will be an honour to sit in a class surrounded by people who believes that they can change the world.
This Asian Study mission also gives me an opportunity to go beyond the shores of Singapore to be exposed to the rising developments and cultural trends in neighbouring countries. To be able to understand how successful business are conducted in other asian countries will also allow me to leverage on cultural differences to gain a foothold in venture expansion. Companies like Berjaya Corp, King Power Int and even not so young start ups like Grab are worth appreciating. ->Appreciating how they navigate the region!
In conclusion I'm attracted to TSM as I am able to bask with bask in the company of like minded individual and gain regional exposure!
“Every failure is a step to success.” – Malcolm Forbes
Where would you like to visit virtually?
I understand that this TSM has a constraint to the Asean Region?
I would dearly like to visit and understand Vietnam! Vietnam has been known to be a country so full of great potential for almost two decades now. Why hasn't they take off economically is worth studying. In recent times however, we have seen Vietnam pushing out great tech startups and very capable IT professionals. From ECommerce to fintech, Vietnam seems to want to create a digital economy from within. I must add that Vietnam really has the best potential in the ASEAN region to leverage technology to take it from third world to first world status!! #XinChàoViệtNam
If this TSM has no constraint and I can imagine to be anywhere..... I would pick Tel Avi, Israel as my country of choice! Beside the Red Sea that Israel is famously known for, the country is now very much known for their tech start up culture. Israel is investing heavily into technology and companies whose businesses revolves around technology. Just look at the capital fund raising for tech start ups in Israel ->https://www.seedtable.com/startups-tel-aviv. (Big money right here.) If Israel still seems like a distant nation that you will never visit for its technology marvels, allow me to share with you that one of the world's very best GPS app - Waze was incubated in Tel Avi, Israel. Waze was eventually bought over by Google for a little over a whooping $1billion. #Shalomישראל
