The Republic topped the rankings as it is a trusted hub to do business, and it continues to lure in even more talent and ideas. Further, Singapore ability to provide access to emerging markets of Asia “was also a plus,” according to Ng Tian Beng, Dell’s vice president and managing director for South Asia & Korea.
