An Insightful Engagement with Enterprise Singapore
An engagement meeting was held at the STTOS office between Ms Teo Xin Wei, Deputy Director of Enterprise Singapore; Ms Linn Neo, Deputy Director (Malaysia Market Coverage); Ms Rebeca Ong, Senior Development Partner; and Ms Wendy Clare Stephen, Managing Director of STTOS. The meeting served as a catch-up discussion on strategic priorities leading into the 2026 plan.
The session provided an opportunity to align on shared objectives, review current areas of collaboration, and explore future initiatives that support business development and trade facilitation.
Both parties discussed opportunities for closer collaboration between STTOS and Enterprise Singapore, particularly in light of the establishment of the new Singapore Consulate in Sabah.
The consulate was seen as a key enabler to strengthen bilateral engagement, support Singapore and Sabah enterprises, and facilitate joint programmes in areas such as market access, enterprise development, and cross-border partnerships.
