To quote the Chinese philosopher Laozi, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We cheer on the many within our community who have dared to make that first move and initiate that one small change that has made an impact and difference to society. We celebrate the achievements of new milestones in such entrepreneurial journeys, from student winners at the inaugural Singapore Airlines app challenge, to heroic hackathon wins in New York City and San Francisco, to winning ideas at the conclusion of the Modern Aging Initiative. We are thrilled that our Prof Wong Poh Kam has been presented with the World Entrepreneur Award for being an instrumental educator in the field of entrepreneurship, and rally behind yet another of his new initiatives, TechSG, that aims to further connect the Singapore tech start-up community. The entrepreneur’s journey is an exciting one, and we wish one and all, all the very best in new chapters and adventures in the new year!
