It was great for us to partner with one of our members, leading Indonesian law firm, Makarim & Taira S. and Fat Tiger Group, to organise a sharing and networking session for a Singapore  Trade delegation that recently visited Jakarta!

It was great to hear insights from SingCham Members, Kevin Ben Laurence, RPh, Apt, Ph, BCMTMS, Jay Singgih on the panel and ably moderated by our Singapore Chamber of Commerce Indonesia treasurer Damien Lim.

The panelists shared practical guidance and their own experiences on the legal and regulatory landscape, entering the market, and identifying opportunities for cross-border business between Singapore and Indonesia.

We thank Fat Tiger Group and Makarim & Taira for this partnership. As a business chamber based in Indonesia, we strive our best to bridge the gap between Singapore and the Indonesian business community.
