assalamualaikum good morning everyone

Please respond to this question in Mentimeter before we start the session. https://www.menti.com/dhc7tj6b9u enter code 98 12 345

How do you draw a balance between two parties bound by different country laws when negotiating an agreement. Which laws will be applicable in executing the partnership when we have foreign country involved?

if you are new entrepreneur in Import and Export in Africa targerting the African continent market and the diaspora. what are key elements to consider particularly in logistics? thx

can this model be used for cooperatives?

Part of the challenges I've seen is segregation on functions. E. G. For what you sharing now, is that driven by the Board or the Staff/Secretariat.. Alot of times the roles are entertwined..

are we going to have access to the slides?

Yes, all the presentations from all 6 sessions taking place this week and more will be shared in the ITC BSO Virtual Gathering e-booklet in early December 2020.

Would the partnership management committee be different from the project teams for specific projects and do we need the two?

both?

This is very good information. Thanks ITC

Good idea of having an insurance for risk management. How do you build this[insurance] in the organization when there is no income generated yet?

we have some questions in the chat

Thank you so much Chin chuan.

How far along would the Singaporean government support the SME, before the Angel and/or VC funding?

Thank you Mr Chin Chuan Wee... Very insightful! Model worth replicating...

Brilliant presentation Mr Wee, I loved how much your Government has strategically invested in the SMEs sector through a well thought empowered technology-driven ecosystem (partial investment and insurance) to de-risk SMEs through BSOs

Thank you very much, you have responded to my question.

All the best for your successful leadership and we look forward to see you in more great leadership role in future. All the best. Mamun, CEO of EXPOPRO, Bangladesh

Very insightful insights Syed and BASIS teams....so awesome to see Women being supported in IT

@Mamun, EXPOPRO: Thank you for the kind words! We are collectively working towards building a Digital Bangladesh. Need your support.

@Jeannine yes SBM support not only East African region but also all over the World....remember we are also based in India, Madagascar, Kenya...and offer all trade finance solutions

@Margaret Kimani: Thanks! We have a target to bring more women in the ICT industry and raise the percentage to 30% in the next couple of years. We are also providing them technical skill development training at a subsidized rate.

Thanks Anna for her question on Singapore Government role in Angel and VC investments. Singapore government involvement starts at idea stage in the Universities and Polytechnics. The Education Ministry and the Trade Ministry together with BSO create Start-up Accelerator programs for young budding entrepreneurs. This Accelerator platform comprised Angel Investors, Seasoned Business Owners, Consultants with various expertise from biz strategy, branding, IT, HR, etc. The start-ups are "groom" into SMEs and then a different set of SME Funding Program can be deployed. This continues to the SME achieves scale and eventually IPO or acquired by Private Equity funds.

that's absolutely fantastic Syed...we at SBM Bank internally we are also trying to empower more of our females to venture into IT sector...we also mentor young girls in Kenyan schools to venture into IT...as Kenya has a huge goal to become a "Digital First" economy.....let's chat after this

Thanks a lot Almas for your presentation, I also want say to hi to our partner in Bangladesh Mamun of EXPOPRO we look forward for more networking opportunities.

@Margaret Kimani: Great to know that! ...I believe, ICT is a very suitable career for women. This must be encouraged. Our e-commerce & f-commerce industry is seeing many women starting new ventures.

@Udofia Ofon: It was my privilege to talk about Bangladesh and BASIS in front of the international audience.

Thank you all speakers , ITC, BSO, She Trades for the inspiring sessions which I could undertake in spite of time challenges and hectic schedules in Pandemic . Cheers from Dhaka Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry ( DWCCI) . Lastly , my best regards to the ITC team and all participants . 👍 Naaz Farhana
