To celebrate the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and China, Singapore's Business China announced on the 3rd the establishment of the “Business China Awards,” aimed at recognizing outstanding businesspeople, entrepreneurs, professionals, and enterprises that have made significant contributions to promoting the development of friendly relations between Singapore and China.
At the press conference held that day, Chua Thian Poh, Chairman of Business China, stated that the organization aims to strengthen the ties between Singapore and China and enhance the younger generation's in-depth and broad understanding of China's economy, commerce, society, culture, and education. Shortly after the establishment of Business China, they explored the creation of the Business China Awards to recognize individuals, enterprises, and organizations active in the China or Singapore regions that, while continuing to grow their own businesses or promote professional development, also actively foster friendly relations between the two countries.
Josephine Teo, CEO of Business China, stated that the organizers have specifically established a Youth Award to recognize outstanding young people under the age of 40. It is hoped that this award will encourage aspiring individuals, acknowledge their achievements, and increase their visibility, thereby expanding the business reach of their enterprises and allowing more people to collaborate with them in exploring new markets.
The “Business China Awards” are divided into three categories: the Business China Achievement Award, the Youth Award, and the Enterprise Award. The evaluation criteria for the awards include financial performance, contributions to promoting friendly relations between Singapore and China, management talent, and personal qualifications, among others.
From today until June 4, the “Business China Awards” are open for public nominations, and the award ceremony is scheduled for November 23.
