Our Co-Founder and CEO, Karina Saridewi, was invited to participate as a panelist at the 2025 Wee Cho Yaw Business Forum, which was co-hosted by NUS Global Asia Institute, NUS Business School, and UOB in Singapore.
As part of Panel 1: Rising Giants – Strategies of Emerging ASEAN Economies, Karina joined an esteemed lineup of leaders such as Chander Agarwal, Managing Director of TCI Express and Dong Li, Founder & Chairman of Leoch International Technology Limited and moderated by Heng Koon How, Executive Director, Head of Markets Strategy of UOB, to share how fast-growing companies are embracing innovation, resilience, and long-term thinking to compete on a global stage.
🎙️ It was an energizing exchange of ideas around:
- Business adaptability in uncertain environments
- The role of leadership in navigating rapid change
- Seizing growth opportunities in emerging markets
WeNetwork’s own journey—growing from startup to regional player in 6 countries under 5 years—reflects the spirit of innovation and cross-border collaboration celebrated at this event.
A special thank you to Dr. Prem Shamdasani, Professor of Marketing at the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School, for the opportunity to speak on this panel and represent WeNetwork.
And of course, thank you to NUS Global Asia Institute, NUS Business School, and UOB for organizing the Wee Cho Yaw Business Forum, a platform that continues to spark powerful conversations.
Looking forward to seeing what 2026 brings!
