Business leaders' optimism on organisational future wanes

Five in 10 view cybersecurity threats as a risk to their business.

Only five in 10 (55%) business leaders are optimistic about their organisation’s future, a drop from the 65% record last year.

Data from Capgemini Research Institute showed that more business leaders (58% in 2024 vs 37% in 2023) view cybersecurity threats as a business risk in the next 12-18 months.

Some (33%) business leaders also believe that climate change will cause the majority of operational disruptions in the next decade.

Meanwhile, the study also found that seven in 10 Singaporean business leaders agree that the EU’s regulation and guidelines-led approach to generative AI reduces uncertainty.

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.
