The centre is its first outside the US.

Procter & Gamble will be investing more than US$100m in Singapore as it sets up the E-Center, its first digital innovation centre outside the United States.

The investment, which will be in partnership with Singapore's Economic Development Board, will be pivotal to P&G's undertaking of end-to-end digital innovation across three core areas: Supply Chain Management, e-Analytics and e-Business.

In terms of supply chain management, the E-Center will focus on transforming P&G’s supply chain end-to-end, enabling greater accuracy, visibility and more efficient processes.

Meanwhile, the e-Business unit aims to translate digital strategies into scalable plans for the region, and to leverage new digital channels to innovate and improve business models. More so, the E-Center will also leverage predictive analytics and big data to optimise product distribution and marketing strategy.

With its launch, P&G will be training 40 employees to to take on digital-related roles in the said areas. It will also expand its partnerships with local Small and Medium Enterprises and start-ups to strengthen digital capabilities and co-develop digital solutions.

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.
