New online portal launched to help SMEs make sense of AEC

It’s backed by local firms.

A new website has been launched to help SMEs take advantage of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which will be launched in December this year.

The portal is backed by Rajah & Tann Asia, United Overseas Bank and RSM Chio Lim and provides companies with a single platform that help businesses navigate the complexities of setting up operations in ASEAN.

Of particular interest to businesses is the portal’s "Ask a Question" feature, which allows companies to pose questions to tap into the knowledge and resources of the three organisations.

The portal was unveiled at an ASEAN-focused conference organised by the Singapore Business Federation, with Rajah & Tann, UOB and RSM Chio Lim as Founding Conference Partners.
