Abstract:
Entrepreneurship - The government has been actively promoting it. Our education system is revamped to nurture the spirit of enterprise. The regulatory environment has been relaxed to be more accommodative. Access to financing for start-ups and SMEs have improved. And finally, more and more local entrepreneurs such as Oliver Lum of Hyflux and Ron Sim of Osim are making headlines. So is Entrepreneurship really the way to go?
Come and be inspired by Eddie Chau, President and CEO of e-Cop, the region's leading Info-Security Technologies and Services Provider; as he shares the pains and gains of embarking on the entrepreneur route, the motivation behind his success and why entrepreneurship takes more than just a "fire in the belly".
