A team of four key players in the business world shared their experience with participants. Ms Jessie Quek, country general manager of Singapore Lenovo, talked about mobility in a PC Plus World and how it will continue innovating smart connected devices to enhance user experience, and change the future of personal and business computing.

Mr Jimi Tan, chairman of Kenko Holdings, offered invaluable insights on the roots of a successful entrepreneur. Mr Alan Wong Peng How, principal business consultative advisor of SME Centre@Central, delved into vital issues like how SMEs benchmark themselves against their competitors and avenues to tap on the available assistance schemes and grants administered by government agencies.

Ms Jessie Quek, Country General Manager, Lenovo Singapore, said: “We are excited to partner with Lianhe Zaobao for this business seminar, which gives us this valuable opportunity to share with businesses that Lenovo recognises the challenges they face.
