What does sustainable growth really look like for SMEs today?
Louisa Lee Louisa Lee , Founder & CEO of DP Healthverse, was honoured to join Joshua Koh, President of the Singapore Furniture Industries Council and CEO of Commune Lifestyle, and Winnie Chan, Co-founder and CEO of Bynd Artisan, at the Sustainable Seedling Dialogue to share practical ideas on building resilient businesses—from making the most of grants and support schemes to creating long-term value beyond short-term growth.
The conversations continued with an insightful ministerial dialogue featuring Ms. Gan Siow Huang, Minister of State for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Trade and Industry, moderated by Tjin Lee, Head of Southeast Asia at Gusto Collective, Founder of Mercury, and Co-founder of CRIB. Together, they explored the challenges and opportunities facing SMEs today, including AI adoption, manpower constraints, rising costs, geopolitical uncertainty, and what it takes to remain competitive in a rapidly changing world.
Thank you to Christmas Together 2026 Sustainable Markets SG and Fraction Fraction Design Studio for bringing together founders, business leaders, and policymakers for an open and meaningful exchange of ideas. Conversations like these play an important role in helping Singapore’s SMEs navigate today’s challenges while building a stronger, more resilient future.
