Meet Singapore's trailblazing foreign firms at the International Business Awards 2014

More than 100 executives flocked to the event.

Singapore Business Review made history last night with the inaugural International Business Awards.

IBA 2014 set out to recognize the best and the brightest among Singapore’s many foreign firms. The award honoured 39 companies from 17 countries, spanning the globe from Vietnam to Luxembourg to New Zealand.

Nominations were judged by an esteemed panel from the country’s top accounting firms. The judges are Choo Eng Chuan, International and Corporate Tax Services Partner of Ernst & Young; Stephen Chang, Regional Managing Director of Deloitte Consulting; Roger Loo, Head of Management Consultancy Services at BDO Singapore; Henry Tan, Managing Director of NEXIA TS; and Toh Kim Teck, Assurance Partner at Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton.

The awarding ceremonies were held last night, 24 July, at the Conrad Centennial Singapore.

According SBR publisher Tim Charlton, “Tonight, we are honouring the foreign companies who have worked hard to improve the lives of people not only in Singapore but also in the entire Southeast Asian region. This is truly a night of winners.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
