ST Engineering to thrive amidst Singapore's Smart Nation initiative

It is poised to clinch $2.5b worth of deals this year.

As Singapore realises its Smart Nation dreams, ST Engineering is expected to benefit from it the most.

The brokerage firm noted that ST Engineering could clinch $2.5b worth of electronics contracts this year, following a strong 2016 with $2.3b worth of contracts signed. Around $1.6bn of the said contracts were from the advanced electronics ICT segment.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
