2023是机遇与挑战并存的一年。全球 商业活动从疫情复苏、绿色经济蓬勃 发展及人工智能应用的突破，支撑起 全球经济增长；同时，通货膨胀、加 息潮、地缘政治动荡和冲突，则持续 影响商业信心。总商会第61届董事会

本会所进行年度商界意见调查显 示，企业当下最大的担忧是成本 上升，其次是缺乏适合的人力资 源、国际政治和经济环境不确定 性。本会积极向政府部门反映企 业心声，包括针对财政预算案措 施，向政府提呈商界建议，力求 下情上达，上情下传。

二、 企业国际化扩张的枢纽： 为实现 我国“2030年经济愿景”，栽 培更多本地中小企业发展为大型 国际企业，本会今年多次率团赴 越、马、中、泰各国考察商机。

在推动行业转型层面，本会的商 团培训课程今年协助29名来自14 家商团的秘书处职员提供专业培 训，加强商团运作效能。我们也 通过商团委员会，继续和新加坡 企业发展局携手合作，配置更多 资源协助各行业商团发展。

本会附属机构总商会管理学院 和中小企业中心，是协助会员 发展实力的臂膀。管理学院擅 长的商务华语和商学课程均广 受欢迎，并新推出生成式人工 智能课程，支持企业走在科技 前沿。中小企业中心则完成约 3600个咨询和促进有效益的 商业案例，助力企业善用政府 援助计划、提高生产力、加强 绿色转型和数码实力等，成果 丰硕。

President’s Review

2023 was a year that embodied both challenges and opportunities. Global business activities recovered after the pandemic, with vibrant growth in the green economy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) sectors. At the same time, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions continued to affect business confidence. With “patriotism, integrity, succession, innovation and uniting businesses” as its core beliefs, the 61st Council of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI) has worked relentlessly to foster a business environment with economic growth, social harmony and contributing to cultural and education causes.

Uniting Businesses to Benefit Society: Deepening Our Impact in the Business Community and Society

In 2023, SCCCI remained committed to fulfil our mission as the “four hubs” to better serve local SMEs and businesses:

1. Strengthening communication between the Government and business community: SCCCI took active efforts to understand the business community’s concerns and support the Government to improve the business environment. This year, three engagement and feedback sessions were held with our trade association members across a wide spectrum of industries. The Chamber also shared our members’ feedback with Minister of Finance, Minister for Trade and Industry as well as Minister for Sustainability and the Environment through dialogues, with a view that it would keep the relevant ministries posted on the voices of business community. The SCCCI Annual Business Survey 2023 revealed rising costs as the top concern of businesses,

followed by availability of suitable manpower and the uncertain political and economic conditions overseas. SCCCI provided timely business feedback and suggestions to the Government, including recommendations for Budget 2024.

2. Helping businesses internationalise and expand into overseas markets: Aligning with the Singapore Economy 2030 vision in nurturing local SMEs into substantial international companies, SCCCI organised trips to explore business opportunities in Vietnam, Malaysia, China and Thailand. Among the notable trends this year were China’s relaxation from pandemic restrictions, as well as rising interest in the potential of Malaysia and ASEAN that arose from the near-shoring of business activities and the attempt to diversify supply chain.

The upgraded economic relations between Singapore and China to an “All-Round High-Quality Future-Oriented Partnership” this year opens up more collaborative potential and interactions; with SCCCI’s business missions to different regions of China, including Beijing, Tianjin, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while receiving nearly 130 delegations in Singapore. The “2023 Conference on International Industrial Cooperation” coorganised by SCCCI was also the first high-level conference organised by Singapore and China’s business communities since the recovery of the pandemic crisis.

In the beginning of the year, SCCCI signed a Memorandum of Understanding with our Malaysia counterpart, The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce

and Industry of Malaysia, and visited the states and federal territories of Malaysia on numerous occasions to promote collaboration in areas of digital economy, finance, tourism, green economy, food security and resource sectors. In November this year, both chambers organised the “Singapore-Malaysia Chinese Chambers of Commerce Business Forum” to exchange insights and promote bilateral business collaboration.

3. Driving capability development and industry transformation: To support businesses to thrive in the new economy, SCCCI organised numerous seminars and workshops in 2023. In particular, this year’s SMEICC Conference Series saw more than 90 local and international business leaders share their experiences, business models and solutions and attracted close to 5,000 participants. For the first time, SCCCI also led a business delegation to Shenzhen, China to learn about the latest AI applications at top tech companies.

In the area of industry transformation, the TA 101 course pioneered by SCCCI trained a total of 29 secretariat staff from 14 trade associations by equipping them with the relevant skillsets to operationalise the industry development and transformation initiatives of the trade associations. Through the Trade Association Committee, SCCCI continued to work hand in hand with Enterprise Singapore to allocate more resources for industry development.

The Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business (SCCIOB) and SME Centre@SCCCI continued to help our members and SMEs to acquire business-relevant

capabilities. SCCIOB’s Business Mandarin and Business Studies programmes have particularly been well-received. New programmes in Generative AI were also launched to equip companies with the latest tech skills. The SME Centre@SCCCI rendered business advisory services and facilitated a total of 3,600 cases, helped SMEs to leverage on government support schemes, increased productivity, embarked on green transformation and built digital capabilities.

4. Building capabilities in sustainability: SCCCI is committed to help SMEs in the traditional sectors to embark on transition to the green economy, facilitate smooth succession in family businesses and adopt sustainability business practices. Our various initiatives include collaborating with SGTech and the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore to share with companies how they could undertake carbon tracking and management. We also explored opportunities in green food, visited floating solar energy fields, organised exchanges between young entrepreneurs from Singapore and Thailand family businesses, and partnered with the Singapore FinTech Association to promote exchange and learning among entrepreneurs.

Selfless Contribution, Upholding Our Forefathers’ Enduring Values

Continuing our tradition, SCCCI organised the Lunar New Year Celebration and Mid-Autumn Celebration, awarding scholarships to outstanding students of tertiary institutions, Institute of Technical Education, Hwa Chong Institution, as well as students from the Malay and Indian communities in support of

education. We also organised the War Memorial Service in Commemoration of the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation, SAF Day Combined Rededication Ceremony and National Day Dinner to refresh Singaporeans on the importance of staying vigilant and strengthen the appreciation of national defence, as well as reaffirming our loyalty to Singapore.

SCCCI also initiated the following initiatives to commemorate our founding Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s 100th birth anniversary: (1) Together with the Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations, Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Eurasian Association, Singapore, the five business chambers and associations representing Singapore’s various racial groups spearheaded the joint initiative titled “Grateful for the Present, Nurturing the Future” and raised more than $10 million for the Lee Kuan Yew Centennial Fund to nurture the next generation of talent and continue the enduring values of our forefathers. (2) During the conversation with Former Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam at the Racial Harmony Day seminar, we reflected on the importance of racial harmony to Singapore’s stability and economy. (3) SCCCI and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China coorganised the “Remembering Lee Kuan Yew and China’s Reform and OpeningUp” Documentary Premiere to reflect upon Mr Lee’s invaluable contribution towards promoting Singapore-China relations.

Serving Our Members Better, Forging International Friendships

Generating value for our members has been an important goal of SCCCI’s mission. With a view to build stronger teamwork among our Council members to better serve our members, SCCCI organised Council Retreat, Staff Retreat, as well as a two-day Open House at our refurbished SCCCI Building for our members to forge new connections and be updated on the Chamber’s suite of service offerings in 2023. Our Career Women’s Group, Mandarin Toastmasters Club and Mandarin Folk Song Singing Class remained active throughout the year. Among the series of initiatives accomplished included organising the International Women’s Day 2023 Conference and Dinner.

In June, SCCCI led a delegation to the 16th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC) held in Bangkok, Thailand which was attended by more than 4,000 Chinese entrepreneurs internationally. We also successfully completed our six-year term as the WCEC Secretariat, during which WCEC has strengthened its branding and made its foray to London, United Kingdom in 2019. This year, as the WCEC Secretariat has been succeeded by The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong, we look forward that the WCEC will continue to uphold the spirit of “Harmony in Diversity” as Chinese entrepreneurs worldwide collaborate and achieve success together.

In December, SCCCI’s Secretariat returned to the refurbished SCCCI Building, and it will now serve our members from both the SCCCI Building and the Trade Association Hub, delivering wider coverage and better value-added service to our members, while continuing to excel in pursuing and consolidating international friendship.

President’s Review

Heartfelt Appreciation to All Stakeholders

In the year, SCCCI worked closely with our Government and partners to seize opportunities locally and globally as we navigate geopolitical risks and inflationary pressures. We actively and relentlessly represented the business community’s interests, while supporting Singapore’s economic development, promoting social unity and educating our future generation. My appreciation goes to all the government agencies, diplomatic corps, partners in Singapore

and abroad and trade associations for their strong support. I also thank our Council members and Secretariat staff for their hard work and commitment to create a brighter future together.

The 25th Annual SME Conference and 26th Infocomm Commerce Conference and SME Expo

SCCCI’s flagship event “SME Conference and Infocomm Commerce Conference (SMEICC)” Conference Series 2023 was held from 15th to 16th Aug 23, with panel discussions on tech-related topics such as digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity.

514 participants responded to this year’s SMEICC ICT Survey. Digitalisation cost, lack of resources and difficulty in finding right vendor continued to be the top three challenges faced by businesses in their IT adoption journey.

Uncertainty about digitalisation outcomes have increased slightly from 16% (2022) to 22% (2023). This was likely due to the emergence of Generative AI technology like ChatGPT. Data Analytics also showed an upward trend in adoption and implementation priority. With rising cyber attacks and scams, priority to strengthen business resilience also increased by 21.6%, from 10.7% in 2022.

Keeping Members up to date on Latest Emerging Technology Trends

To keep pace with the latest developments on AI, the Technology Committee worked with industry experts on a series of seminars to demystify AI and how it has been infused into traditional tools.

Building Members’ Digital Capabilities in Data Analytics

The Technology Committee worked closely with the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) to support the Government’s efforts for better usage of data through its “Better Data Driven Business” initiative. Together with IMDA and Temasek Polytechnic (TP), the Technology Committee organised a series of workshops to hand-hold members on their analytics journey, funded by the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i). The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) also shared about data governance.

Four participating companies accepted the Committee’s invitation to take part in Proof-of-Concepts projects (PoCs) to develop dashboards which better suit their business purpose.

Driving Business Resilience against Cybersecurity Threats

第一节 不稳定中寻求增长

2023年对世界各地的企业来说都是充满独特挑战的一年。持续的地缘政治紧张局 势、俄乌战争和全球市场需求萎缩继续抑制经济复苏。此外，飙升的通胀压力和 不断上升的借贷成本削弱了企业竞争力。在此背景下，新加坡经济在2023年增长 了1.2%。

虽然上半年企业重新开业促进本地与国际消费，但经商成本急剧上升，加上职场 文化的变化影响劳动市场与工资，企业必须能够快速适应，执行精益运营模式与 控制成本，才能提高生产力和保留盈利。

在此期间，许多公司都被迫重新评估他们的成本结构、运营策略和流程、数码技 能及在管理多代人员工作方面的领导能力。总得来说，企业在2023年面对的运 营困境，不仅仅是要重建业务，而是在全球经济不确定的数码驱动时代寻求新兴 机遇。

Section 1: Overview 2023 – Thriving amidst Global Uncertainty

2023 was a year of unique challenges for businesses around the world. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, Russia-Ukraine war and shrinking global market demand continued to dampen global economic recovery. Inflationary pressures and escalating borrowing costs also eroded business competitiveness. Against this backdrop, Singapore's economy grew by 1.2% in 2023.

Although the reopening of businesses in first half of the year boosted consumption and international spending, with the sharp rise in operating costs, combined with shifts in workplace culture disrupting the labor market and wage cost, businesses must be able to adapt and adopt lean management practices to contain cost, improve productivity and profitability.

During this period, companies were forced to re-evaluate their cost structures, operational strategies and processes, digital skills, and leadership skills in managing the work of multiple generations. In a nutshell, the operational dilemma facing companies in 2023 was not just to rebuild their business, but to seek emerging opportunities in a digitally driven era amidst global economic uncertainty.

1.1 Challenging Roles in 2023

2023 tested the resilience and adaptability of businesses, especially for SMEs. The SME Centre@SCCCI (referred as“We” or “the Centre”, together with its satellite offices in Toa Payoh and Chinatown) started the year with a strategic focus to help SMEs address pain points and enhance competitiveness. Guided by our mission to be the trusted business advisor of SMEs in their transformation journey, the Centre set out core priorities to help businesses build capabilities in the following areas:

I. Digital Capability and Digital Trust: Supporting SMEs to kickstart digital transformation and grow digital capabilities. A special focus in 2023 was to assist businesses to build robust processes that safeguard data, building trust in digital operations and customer experiences.

II. Inner Capabilities for Growth: Encompassing a broad spectrum of business needs, ranging from assessing financial resilience, readiness for overseas expansion, evaluating digital maturity, developing talent retention strategies to leveraging AI tools to improve operations.

III. Knowledge on Sustainability: Helping SMEs understand and integrate sustainability into their business plans. This is particularly crucial for companies required to meet reporting compliance in time to come and to learn the matrices for managing sustainable objectives.

We aim to help companies navigate complexities in today’s business environment with clarity and focus mindset and develop actionable plans for improvements. Whether it is managing cash flow stability, harnessing the power of AI, fortifying digital trust or enhancing internal capabilities, our Centre’s position is to be the “Go-to Resource Centre “for companies seeking to transform and build new capabilities.

1.2 Our Strategic Approach

2023 was a fruitful year for our Centre. With businesses reopening in early 2023, we shifted from the pandemic “work from home” operating model to reconnect with our customers through face-to-face engagement. Almost all our capability workshops were conducted on-site, a testament of our commitment to help increase interactions and face to face meetings to explore business opportunities and strengthen “humantouch” relationship at work. The following is our key scorecard for 2023:

I. In 2023, we completed approximately 3,600 cases of business advisory and business facilitation, comprising grant consultation, productivity solutions to improve operational efficiency, HR challenges. We continued to provide targeted assistance, such as providing tools to diagnose company’s digital maturity and data’s maturity in protecting data and managing cyber risks, as well as AI tools to improve productivity, identifying funding and resources to enhance core competencies through the Productivity Program (PSG), Capacity Development Program (EDG), Overseas Development Grant (MRA), Manpower Support Program, and others.

II. We strive to be a “learning and connect-touch point” for SMEs. In 2023, the Centre organised a total of 28 capability workshops with a diverse range of business interests. The workshops were attended by more than 1,500 people. The high attendance rate for AI Generative and Sustainability workshops revealed a significant shift in business priorities towards embracing technological advancements and sustainable practices. Further details of the

workshops are reported in Section 2 below.

III. We continued to collaborate with technology institutions such as A*Star, Singapore Institute of Technology and Canon Singapore to strengthen understanding on the important roles of innovation and technology in driving business transformation. Our other strategic content partners included Stone Forest, Young Technology Consulting, Singapore National Employers Federation, Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business, Heartland Enterprise of Singapore, UOB and many more.

Section 2: Operations Report 2023 – Our Strategic Pathways

To survive, businesses must be able to adapt quickly to changes in the external environment and maintain lean operating models to increase productivity and profitability. In this new environment, the Centre engaged strategic partners to help businesses build new capabilities to thrive in the digital era through organising capability workshops and sharing sessions by industry experts in our annual SME Centre Conference.

2.1 Strengthen Workshop Content

The Centre introduced a series of workshops on adoption of AI technologies like ChatGPT. The paradigm shift driven by AI is more than technological adoption as these tools help to foster creativity and develop forward-thinking employees in an increasingly competitive and technology-driven marketplace. The other key capability areas which the Centre focused on were rising concerns on data security, cybersecurity and business innovation. The workshop themes and attendance analysis report are presented in the following chart:

I. AI generative and sustainability workshops were the most popular, attracting 50% of total attendees for the year. The AI Generative workshop provided insights into the rapidly advancing field of AI and its applications in business. The Sustainability workshop focused on integrating eco-friendly practices into business operations. The high attendance rates for these workshops reflected the growing importance that companies are placing on technological innovation and environmental responsibility, recognising their significant impact on business.

II. The remaining 50% of attendees were distributed among workshops covering a variety of critical business topics. These included (1) “Business Innovation and Business Models” focusing on novel strategies and frameworks for competitive advantage; (2) “Leadership Development” equipping current and aspiring leaders with essential skills for effective management and decision-making; (3) “Market Opportunities in Indonesia and Asian Regions” exploring regional market dynamics and opportunities for business expansion; and (4) “Managing Cybersecurity” addressing the increasing importance of cybersecurity in protecting business assets and information.

2.2 Group-Based Upgrading Projects

The Centre strategically formulated a series of group-based upgrading projects on data management and sustainability to help SMEs build new capabilities. In 2023, we completed the following projects:

I. Data Management Capability for SMEs: Addressing the growing concern of data protection and cybersecurity threats, we also launched a Data Management

2.0 Project to help 12 companies build robust data management capabilities, including enhancing digital trust, mitigating risks related to data breaches and cyber threats.

II. Sustainability Project: This project focused on helping a group of companies delve into the fundamentals of sustainability goals, developing roadmap with actionable items and incorporating good practices to support long-term growth. This project empowered 12 companies to take steps in setting their sustainable mission for the future and reshaping their operations and processes.

2.3 Events of the Year

In 2023, the Centre participated in the following important events:

I. From 15th to 16th Aug 23, the Centre participated in the SMEICC Conference organised by SCCCI. We engaged businesses at our SME Centre booth where we showcased our range of services and events for SMEs. We had the opportunity to share about “Sustainability for Enterprises” at the Conference track together with other government agencies. It was an excellent opportunity to reinforce our committed roles to share sustainability practices for SMEs.

II. On 19th Sep 23, SME Centres nationwide jointly organised the 2023 SME Centre Conference “From Local to Global”. The Conference was held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention and Exhibition Centre with 800 visitors comprising government agencies and enterprises. Guest-of-Honour Minister of State Low Yen Ling enlightened SMEs on the potential in Southeast Asia which offers diverse opportunities for companies. The event provided opportunities for SMEs to connect with industry partners and solution providers to support their market diversification plans. The Centre also showcased practical examples of local businesses successfully expanding overseas.

III. On 22nd Nov 23, the SME Centres inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC) to raise local SMEs’ awareness in workplace safety and health. The MOU signified a major step towards promoting a safer and healthier business environment for SMEs. SME Centre@SCCCI Chairman Charles Ho Nai Chuen was one of the representatives that signed the MOU with WSHC. The event was held at the bizSAFE Convention 2023 at the Singapore Expo.

IV. On 27th Nov 23, Enterprise Singapore hosted an Appreciation Dinner at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Singapore, where Jeffrey Siow, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of Enterprise Singapore, expressed his gratitude to all SME Centre staff and Board of Directors for their cooperation and efforts. Originating in 2006 as a collaboration between Enterprise Singapore and SCCCI, Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Singapore

Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, SME Association and Singapore Manufacturing Federation, the SME Centre has grown to 11 contact points to assist SMEs in driving their business forward.

2.4 Looking Ahead

The year 2024 remains challenging. The Centre will focus on emerging areas such as digital and green economy to help businesses maintain better operational efficiency. We anticipate an increased adoption of advanced technologies such as AI and RPA to drive creativity and productivity. The emerging risks associated with digitalisation such as data protection, info security measures and ethical issues of applying AI Generative applications will form an important part of our workshop contents in 2024. With increasing global focus on climate change and social responsibility, we will continue to help SMEs navigate sustainability as a growth strategy in the new economy.

The disruptive forces in Singapore's Continuing Education and Training markets not only pose challenges to private education institutions like the Singapore Chinese Chamber Institute of Business (SCCIOB), but also have a profound impact on businesses and workers. On the global stage, uncertain geopolitical situations have also contributed to unpredictable economic conditions. Meanwhile, the adult learning landscape locally has also continued to evolve, focusing on in-demand skills amid invasive technologies such as Generative AI, data analytics, and digitising operating systems and processes.

2. During the 56th War Memorial Service in Commemoration of the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation and Total Defence Day Commemoration on 15th Feb 23, the Foundation launched the physical exhibition titled Reflecting Upon the Past, Moving Forward As One: The Civilian War Memorial Special Exhibition. As a collaborative effort with students from the National Institute of Education, this exhibition allowed the younger generation to understand the journey that different ethnic groups took to build a home together from the ravages of war, as well as the sacrifices and dedication of our forefathers. Guest-ofHonour Minister Edwin Tong, under the company of Council Members, visited the exhibition. The exhibition attracted more than 6,000 students and teachers.

SYSNMH worked with NP students from The Living Community (studentinitiated community service project) for a youth service-learning project for Grandparents’ Day. This inaugural event was a part of SYSNMH’s efforts to build an inclusive museum to drive our youth engagement programme as an avenue

for SYSNMH to engage seniors and youths via service learning and to provide better accessibility for underserved communities to the museum.

The team mentored 29 NP students on the conceptualisation and execution of the event. 19 seniors from NTUC Health Active Aging Centre (Whampoa) participated in the event. The students agreed that the event helped them acquire social awareness, enhance their interpersonal skills and foster intergenerational bonding between youths and seniors. All the students agreed that they played a part in sharing Chinese heritage and culture to seniors and would sign up for a similar opportunity in the future.

Educational Resource: “Discover the Secret Letter” Children Activity Booklet

In conjunction with SYSNMH’s special exhibition, “Connections Across Ocean: Early Chinese Mutual Aid Organisations”, SYSHMH developed a “Discover the Secret Letter” children gamification activity using chatbot and an activity booklet. Children learnt more about the early Chinese community in Singapore using the activity booklet and a chatbot game by scanning QR codes planted in the galleries. Over 800 children activity booklets were distributed and a total of 500 participants accessed the chatbot game.

Educational Festivals Craft Kits

SYSNMH partnered with RVHS (Secondary Section) to design children’s craft kits for Wan Qing Festival of Spring, Wan Qing Dragon Boat Festival and Wan Qing MidAutumn Festival. SYSNMH mentored 29 RVHS students on the conceptualisation and design of the craft kits. These craft kits were applied to the festival open house in the form of drop-in activities.

A total of 1,600 crafts kits were distributed, and were well-received by both parents and children.
