Singapore Business Awards 2024 Featuring:
Welcome to the Singapore Business Awards 2024 APAC Insider is excited to announce the launch of the Singapore Business Awards 2024! Now in its eighth year, this programme has become the go-to guide to the companies and entrepreneurs spearheading growth across Singapore’s dynamic business market. Though it faces limitations in size, population, and resources, Singapore is a country that is consistently recognised as one of the richest and most stable in the world. In recent years, Singapore has been named as one of the most open economies globally by the Heritage Foundation, and currently ranks as the world’s second richest country based on GDP per capita. Companies and professionals doing business in Singapore benefit from its free-market economy as well as the competitive and pro-business policies implemented by the government. This – in addition to the country’s modern environment, excellent standard of living, and high average salary – makes Singapore an attractive business destination for both local and foreign enterprises. Much of Singapore’s success in the global business market is thanks to the culture of innovation that spreads throughout every segment of its society – from the government, down to company, and individual levels. The country’s key policymakers have also made efforts to invest in emerging sectors so that they can continue to foster this innovation, leading to Singapore being home to the largest number of startups in all of Southeast Asia.

APAC Insider- Singapore Business Awards 2024 cc Grandtag Financial Consultancy (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. has served as one of the country’s leading financial advisory firms since operations commenced in the country back in 2007, on the back of the company’s Hong Kong headquarters being established just prior to the dawn of the new millennium in 1999. This licensed financial advisor is registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore and specialises in providing expert and tailored advisory to those affluent and high net worth individuals situated in an array of markets across the Asian continent. We catch up with the Regional CEO, Martin Wong who tells us more about the firm and its distinction in this space. It is the mission of Grandtag Financial Consultancy to provide personalised, holistic solutions through an exemplary international broking platform that can cater to the changing and diverse needs of its clients in Asia, securing and protecting their most valued interests. Taking a proactive approach to succeeding in this mission, the firm’s services revolve around delivering unparalleled advice and guidance on legacy and wealth planning, ensuring that the assets of its clients can pass from generation to generation seamlessly and effectively. When it comes to wealth planning, the team demonstrably mitigate future risks by applying life insurance as part of this holistic approach, crafting a unique and wellstructured plan that focuses particularly on vital areas that includes wealth transfer, liquidity planning, asset protection, tax optimisation, and philanthropy. This strategy empowers the team in offering solutions that are bespoke and efficient, tailored to the unique needs and situations of individual clients, their families and businesses. The business’ legacy planning has been designed specifically to focus on the continuance of family values, culture, and wisdom, guiding families through the process based on several factors such as value consensus, relationship sustainability, enterprise succession, knowledge transformation, and wealth management. Instrumental to the sustained success of Grandtag Financial Consultancy has been its effectiveness in establishing trusted, lasting relationships with global insurance companies. Further aiding the firm in its aims, it has succeeded in fortifying a strong base and strategic presence in Asia’s two most pivotal private banking hubs, Hong Kong and Singapore. Thus, this team has carved out an enviable position for themselves as a trustworthy partner to like-minded market leaders of private banks, trustees, family offices and external asset managers. Offering its services to those who serve high net worth individuals and ultra-high net worth families, Grandtag Financial Consultancy has developed a particular reputation for excellence and efficiency in offering legacy, insurance, and wealth planning solutions. Elaborating further on the ways this overarching goal is achieved, Martin tells us, “with trust as the foundation, we put our clients at the centre of what we do, in advisory and guidance, and in execution and operations.” Such an ethos has proven invaluable in the firm solidifying its professional standing, speed to market, and robust compliance. Ultimately, this undercurrent of trust which runs through the business’ operations starts with the company’s staff, who excel in their duty to providing what Martin refers to as the “nexus of relationships across the business”, thus enabling the company to operate effectively across these key Asian markets. On the back of such faith in its team, Martin reinforces the firm’s approach as a “people’s business”, one where, “people make the difference in our trajectory.” Collaboration has proven integral in retaining this, and those within Grandtag Financial Consultancy are encouraged to further this by sharing their resources, experiences, and technical knowhow with their fellow colleagues. In any great business, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and this is certainly the case here, with everybody working together to leverage the business’ ability to win new business, and deliver success. To deliver this, Grandtag Financial Consultancy prioritises an approach that favours remaining agile, bespoke, and customised, with this trifecta serving as the definitive differentiator in the firm showcasing its distinction when compared to its competitors. As Martin explains, “We listen to the needs of our partners Best Wealth & Legacy Planning Firm 2024 - South East Asia
9 and clients, and with our senior leadership team’s extensive combined experience, we move fast to drive success for all stakeholders involved.” He continues, “Speed to market is crucial, and the investments that we have made in digitalisation and online engagement, providing 24/7/365 access for our partners and clients, have propelled us forward as a credible international broker of choice in the marketplace.” The current business climate is being defined by a greater overall risk, with this stemming from an increase in market risk and geo-political risk to name just a couple. This makes it incredibly important for affluent clients to establish thoughtful wealth and legacy plans. Following on from such uncertainty across the landscape, Martin reaffirms that Grandtag Financial Consultancy possesses the same unwavering commitment to, “maximise our increasing client portfolio [of those] who seek solutions to risk optimise their portfolios and legacy plans.” Expounding more on these plans for the future, Martin tells us, “we will contribute to the growth of the wealth management industry by investing in our future, our people, creating a high-tech and high-touch model, and harnessing our track record and success of the last 25 years of the Grandtag group.” As the business continues to expand, so too will its approaches, which can be tailored to resonate effectively with local cultures while maintaining a uniformed distinction. Driven by “A Passion to Go Beyond”, on Grandtag Financial Group’s 25th anniversary this year, we are proud to highlight the remarkable achievements of Grandtag Financial Consultancy, bestowing its Singapore branch with the prestigious title of Best Wealth & Legacy Planning Firm 2024 - South East Asia.

APAC Insider- Singapore Business Awards 2024 Digital Roundabout Pte Ltd can best be described as a global innovation company, one that possesses a keen focus on developing a series of high performance and cost-effective products that leverage the latest in cutting-edge technologies to yield tremendous results for a satisfied, loyal customer base. From the company’s state-of-the-art research and development centre located in the heart of Singapore, the team design and build their award-winning products utilising a combination of modern systems such as AI, as well as their specialist workforce, to offer customers some of the best solutions that the industry today has to offer. Experts in the realm of global technology services, specifically digital, audio, and visual content, the team at Digital Roundabout display their excellence by leveraging the information inherent across cloud-based AI and Edge brand computing devices to provide products and services that are useful, reliable, and cost effective. By designing, implementing, and subsequently operating a series of pioneering video solutions that are designed to capture, process, and then deliver a clients’ video and audio content of any source, format, or size to a destination of their choice, the business is paving the way for video capture technology and its accompanying data to have applications in the real world. Across every product in its range, Digital Roundabout has deployed a dedicated and specialist software team, designed to ensure that customers are empowered to take full advantage of these products and make the most of everything they can offer. Not only have these creations been specifically designed to remedy a customer’s issues, but their uniquity spans the ability to be wholly customised and tailored to specific needs, underpinning the holistic and innovative nature favoured by the business. By working with a host of partners and favouring a collaborative approach, the dedication of the business to garnering measurable results is clear, and this has contributed considerably to it winning this award. As a service provider to broadcasters first and foremost, Digital Roundabout has a history of spotting gaps in the market and setting about providing a reliable fix that will benefit those operating across this sphere. From streamlining satellitebased distribution by channelling a multitude of features through just one box that can store up to 25 hours of content and be updated periodically, through to offering a proprietary watermarking solution to clean feeds, localised revenue generation, and contextual insertion, the company’s prowess in this field knows no bounds. One particularly noteworthy development saw the company work with linear TV stations, providing them with localisation and interactivity capabilities at a reasonable cost and without them having to alter their traditional workflows. Digital Roundabout’s AdDR series was thus created to carry out the three-fold combined functionality of content replacement, local advisement insertion, and contextual insertion in just one box, and through this affordable, payas-you-go business model, TV is now afforded the same opportunities as over-the-top media services (streaming platforms), advertising content that is both region specific and more interactive to better compete for interaction from a demanding audience. In the past ten years, Digital Roundabout has made the switch to content that is entirely digital, while simultaneously taking full advantage of digital content transportation systems such as fibre optics so as to distribute all over the world. With such technology has come an influx of fantastic opportunities, and the workflow journey established by the team is able to identify a customer’s Jan24712 standing in relation to their use of technological systems and update them by introducing new technologies synonymous with the current era, streamlining processes and ensuring that they are not left behind. One element of this where the company has particularly excelled is content processing, whereby its services have helped to modernise content distribution and consumption, particularly through its tape ingesting/ digitising and closed caption generation services. Over the past decade-and-a-half, the way that content has been created, stored, and viewed has changed incredibly rapidly, and it is now a constantly changing process. Not all too long ago, content was stored on video tapes, and many organisations relied on tape library management systems to navigate their expansive libraries. Through Digital Roundabout’s tape ingest to metadata tagging system, the content of these tapes is uploaded into an online platform, before a quality control process is carried out, so as to ensure that everything has transferred over without a hitch. Once uploaded, AI is used to index this content and generate the required level of metadata. Regardless of the digital format desired, this work is carried out to the highest calibre, bolstered further by partnerships with leading content restoration talent. Now that the world’s content is predominantly digitised and accessed from around the globe by an audience speaking a multitude of languages, closed captioning is a necessity in broadening one’s audience and making sure that the highest Computing Device Innovator of the Year 2024 level of engagement is attained. Having partnered with other experts in this field to utilise AI to generate time-coded metadata that operates in real time, Digital Roundabout’s pioneering system can generate these closed captions, learning from its own mistakes so as to continuously improve. After generation, these captions are checked by humans to guarantee that the final product is not only delivered swiftly but is of the highest quality. Despite AI playing a crucial role within Digital Roundabout’s services, there is still very much an emphasis on the human role to distinguish it from others in the space and solidify the consistency of its output. Thus, the company’s defining element is this smart mix of AI and manual services, with these being combined to strike the balance between streamlining processes and making sure they embody the high standards expected by customers. Thanks to this system constantly learning and expanding its capabilities, it is now at a point where customers seeking to have a large volume of content transformed can do so without it ever having to leave their premises. One final area of note regarding Digital Roundabout is its latest creation, D-Kagaz. With the “D” standing for digital and “Kagaz” meaning paper, this creation is essentially a paper diary and non-charging pen with all the advantages of the digital world, with it being as easy to write on as paper and as light as a notepad, all while holding all of the different books needed by its user. Weighing just 435g and possessing a battery that lasts more than a month before
11 it needs charging, the 10.3-inch, high-resolution display of the D-Kagaz is glare-free and sure to provide an experience that is as close to paper as it gets, all while being just as easy on the eyes with its always-on display. With such an array of exemplary solutions comprising its portfolio, it is easy to see why Digital Roundabout Pte Ltd has earned its rightful spot in this awards programme, and we wish the team the best of luck for the future as they continue to pioneer in this rapidly developing sector.

APAC Insider- Singapore Business Awards 2024 As evidenced by the evolution of the technological sphere in recent years, LED lighting is becoming increasingly popular among the masses. With its lower energy consumption rate and eco-friendly nature, many are looking to make the switch, but find themselves in need of a dependable companion in their journey towards change. Aiming to be just this is Gowell Synthesis – an LED lighting company that lives and breathes its craft. Below, we explore how Gowell Synthesis is leading the future of Singapore’s industry forward one LED light at a time. Initially established in 2012 as a means to execute small scale LED lighting projects for both commercial and industrial clients alike, in 2018, Gowell Synthesis experienced a metamorphosis and became the private entity it is today. During this transition, the collective took the time to focus on where it truly wanted to set its gaze, and ultimately began expanding its services in tandem with its brand. Now, Gowell Synthesis proudly provides design, supply, and installation services to those looking to implement LED smart lighting control systems, LED media walls, and Holographic Display Systems into their operations. Having already built up quite the reputation among clients such as Singapore Changi Airports, The Esplanade Theatre by the Bay, and Mediacorp, in addition to various hospitals, private and government schools, and institutions, Gowell Synthesis is able to confidently guide clients closer to its vision for the future. In essence, the collective acts in full support of Singapore’s green energy initiatives for renewable energy, and has adapted itself to the implementation of LED technology to promote a more sustainable future. Be it through energy saving or a reduced carbon footprint, Gowell Synthesis is helping companies to engage in a more ecologically aware method of lighting. It’s for this very reason that Gowell Synthesis has developed an incredibly unique approach to the art of LED installation. It understands that there has been a competitive spike within the industry in recent years, and has responded by integrating new and innovative methods into its practises. From offering unparalleled services, such as prompt response times and unique solutions to issues both big and small, to approaching clients with an amicable attitude, Gowell Synthesis hopes to creating meaningful connections through its work. The first step to healing is to protect the environment, and the second to look after one another. In this vein, Gowell Synthesis is fully committed to doing whatever it must to ensure that it stays at the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to LED lighting. However, this isn’t Gowell Synthesis’s only defining trait. On the contrary, the collective has mastered the art of versatility within its field. It’s no secret that technology is constantly evolving to meet new demands, and there are those who may struggle to keep up with just how quickly new trends come and go. This isn’t the case when it comes to Gowell Synthesis, however – not only does it accept change and adapt accordingly, but it actively welcomes the opportunities that partner what others may view as challenges. Gowell Synthesis fundamentally wishes to bring innovative technology to the local markets as quickly as possible, allowing it to retain its competitive advantage. Of course, this is only made possible through the abundance of talent that Gowell Synthesis possesses within its internal structure. Comprised of highly skilled individuals who have an intrinsic understanding of how to work with LED lighting, the company is able to offer installation, testing, and commissioning services to a variety of clients. Every person under the Gowell Synthesis umbrella is committed to unquestionable excellence, and with such a diverse range of people making up its company culture, it has remained a unique entity, despite the popularisation of the industry as a whole. When working primarily with technology, it’s easy for companies to lose sight of the humanity behind it all. Gowell Synthesis, however, has gracefully resisted this industry pitfall at every turn. Instead of focusing too closely on the machine-oriented nature of LED lighting and technology, it prioritises the human side of its work. The company truly believes that providing the right people for the right jobs will create a definitive path toward success, and therefore employs this notion when searching for members to join its team. In short, Gowell Synthesis aims to accumulate a collection of talented individuals, each equipped with tenacity and creativity in abundance. Only then can it provide out-of-thebox solutions to clients across the region. That isn’t to say, however, that Gowell Synthesis isn’t still heavily invested in the technological side of its business. Advancement is of the utmost importance to the company, and it always has new emergences on its radar. When viewing the future of LED lighting, it doesn’t witness it in a vacuum, but instead recognises that there’s potential for AI integration in the coming years. Whether this manifests through remote control access with smart functionality, or through LED displays working in tandem with other wireless networks, Gowell Synthesis is a pioneer of seeing these exciting aspects as opportunities to adapt for the sake of clients everywhere. Gowell Synthesis stands as a fascinating example of how an LED lighting company can make such an outstanding difference to the world around it. Through its technology alone the collective has made great strides toward realising the dream of a greener Singapore, and it’s clear that this is only the beginning. With the emergence of exciting new forms of technology, Gowell Synthesis recognises that the sky just may be the limit, and it’s more than prepared to reach higher than it ever has before in order to hold its place as an industry leader. We look forward to seeing where Gowell Synthesis’s admirable mindset and avid determination takes it as we continue to advance into the future of technology.

APAC Insider- Singapore Business Awards 2024 | 16 Vivo Kinetics Pte Ltd, also known as Vivo Kids, promotes a healthy and active lifestyle for children by running a series of camps, events, and programmes that encourage both learning and physical activity in equal measure. With sessions for infants and toddlers, children’s multi-sports programmes and holiday camps, as well as running children’s parties and providing an early years’ sports curriculum, this team serve an array of preschools, schools, childcare centres, and the general public, affording each its quality services, professionalism, and unbridled passion for children and their education. We catch up with Founder and Director Vivian Eng to find out more. Operating a series of sports programmes that revolve around prioritising a child’s needs and development as their interests evolve, Vivo Kinetics puts the children in its care first, ensuring that every participant is involved and resonates with what they are provided. As such, the company’s core values are built around this promise and centre on such elements as innovation, commitment, and accountability. Teamwork is another integral factor in the success of this enterprise, with Vivian explaining, “we cultivate a sense of unity and collaboration, empowering children to thrive both on and off the field.” By emphasising the enjoyment and inclusivity inherent in sport, Vivo Kinetics has forged an atmosphere where, “children develop not only their sports skills but also valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the realms of sports”, as Vivian tells us. Drawing from a wealth of experience and expertise, Vivian and the team incessantly refine their services and prize upskilling, empowering them to remain at the cutting edge of their discipline. Regarding her staff, Vivian explains, “our team fosters a culture of excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement, driving our commitment to providing exceptional services.” The role played by the team is instrumental in the business’ distinction, with staff not only acting as ambassadors for the brand, upholding the excellence that has become synonymous with the company, and ensuring compliance and safeguarding are followed to a T, but they are also responsible for contributing towards a positive internal culture based around what Vivian refers to as, “a dynamic fusion of fresh perspectives and seasoned expertise.” She elaborates, “this diverse blend creates an environment of continuous learning, mentorship, and high energy”, with children of all ages thoroughly enjoying and benefiting from sessions. Reinforcing the enjoyment that comes from sport is key for Vivian, who tells us that many parents within Asia believe that a child’s fundamental movement skills come with age and dismiss the necessity of nurturing an environment where such skills can flourish with guidance and support. Vivian expands on this further, “parents/schools still perceive sports as an additional academic discipline, […] [yet] physical education (PE) classes and time allocation are compromised for other academic subjects, resulting in less time dedicated to PE.” By institutions focusing on skill as opposed to enjoyment, many children end up not liking sport, and thus their health, fitness, and other cognitive abilities suffer. However, in the wake of the pandemic, an increasing number of research articles and professionals have highlighted the importance of being fit, healthy, and spending time outdoors with others, leading more people in the area to seek out Vivo Kinetics’ services. This, coupled with further studies that have shown demonstrable links between movement/play and a child’s learning and greater wellbeing, means that Vivian has the uppermost faith in the future of her brand, particularly when it comes to the early years’ curriculum. On the back of these prospective developments, the company’s workforce has more than doubled in the past 12 months, but the bar has remained at the very top when it comes to the calibre of service delivered. In addition to expanding its numbers, the business has too expanded its operations, having set up in Vietnam and already implemented a multi-sport programme that is being used in more than 30 preschools and has been well-received by schools, parents, and children alike. Plans for the rest of 2024 involve Vivo Kinetics Pte Ltd organising the Motor Skill Learning Conference in collaboration with SportSG. Vivian explains, “this event represents a key component of our future initiatives, underscoring our ongoing commitment to community engagement and advancement.” As the business gears towards a future that involves giving back to the community, we invite our readers to check out their awardwinning services, which measurably contribute towards the well-being and development of children.
