A delegation of 21 executives from 17 esteemed organizations made their mark, adding a touch of camaraderie, the Singapore delegation also enjoyed delightful evenings of dinner and drinks where they connected with fellow Singaporeans based in South Africa and Kenya. The pinnacle of the trip was an extraordinary opportunity to engage with the honorable key persons in the country and the discussions centered on critical systemic issues that could impact investments in Africa, with a particular focus on security and safety. This facilitated meaningful interactions and laid the foundation for future business ventures.

During this momentous journey, Mr. Lim Lay Yew participated in a series of enlightening engagements, including business briefings, company visits, and networking sessions. These immersive experiences allowed him to connect with key industry players, influential decision-makers, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs from Kenya and South Africa, facilitating meaningful dialogues that laid the foundation for fruitful collaborations and strategic alliances.
