“Singapore is a small market, but we can provide the gateway... to other parts of South-east Asia and possibly also other parts of the world,” noted Madam Halimah, who was speaking on the sidelines of a visit to logistics firm Janio’s warehouse in Tampines.

She said it is also important for firms to identify growth opportunities in e-commerce, and work closely with government agencies to discover accessible markets, adding: “This is not easy for new companies, but (they can) work with agencies that already have some of these networks overseas.”
