ASME welcomes Chairman of Enterprise Singapore
Singapore, 10 January 2018 – The Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME)
welcomes Mr Peter Ong as Chairman of Enterprise Singapore (ESG).
The merger of International Enterprise (IE) Singapore and SPRING Singapore (SPRING)
to form ESG integrates resources and capabilities to provide more streamlined
support for local companies to grow and internationalise.
Mr Kurt Wee, President of ASME, said, “Mr Peter Ong is the most recent former Head
of Civil Service. He brings formidable experience, seniority, coupled with strong track
record as Chairman of Pro-Enterprise Panel. Mr Png Cheong Boon broke new
grounds and introduced many positive initiatives as former Chief Executive of
SPRING and JTC.”
“The appointment of Mr Ong as Chairman of Enterprise Singapore, coupled with Mr
Png as it's Chief Executive, brings us great confidence and high hopes in what is to
come in the new ESG,” he added.
With ESG’s new leadership, ASME is confident that the agency will continue to drive
enterprise growth domestically and internationally. ASME looks forward to strengthen
its partnership with ESG to help more SMEs develop stronger capabilities, go global
and be future-ready.
