SBF to boost global trade and investment with new initiative

SBF will enhance cross-border trade, develop private sector advocacy, and cultivate future industry leaders.

The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) plans to set up a Centre for the Future of Trade and Investment (CFOTI).

The initiative aims to boost trade and investment by enhancing Singapore and regional businesses' global trade capabilities, developing private sector advocacy, and cultivating future trade leaders to create innovative solutions.

The CFOTI will build on SBF’s existing initiatives, including GlobalConnect@SBF, the FTA Education and Outreach program, and business representations in multilateral forums.

A committee led by Mr. Gan Seow Kee, former Vice Chairman of SBF and former Chairman and MD of ExxonMobil Asia Pacific, will guide the formation of the CFOTI. 

Businesses and stakeholders are invited to join this public-private initiative to advance global trade.
