New online portal launched to help SMEs make sense of AEC

It’s backed by local firms.

A new website has been launched to help SMEs take advantage of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which will be launched in December this year.

The portal is backed by Rajah & Tann Asia, United Overseas Bank and RSM Chio Lim and provides companies with a single platform that help businesses navigate the complexities of setting up operations in ASEAN.

Of particular interest to businesses is the portal’s "Ask a Question" feature, which allows companies to pose questions to tap into the knowledge and resources of the three organisations.

The portal was unveiled at an ASEAN-focused conference organised by the Singapore Business Federation, with Rajah & Tann, UOB and RSM Chio Lim as Founding Conference Partners.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
