Agenda

15:00 - Participants Introductions

Kick off with a quick round of self-introductions to connect with fellow attendees.

15:15 - Why Intellectual Property Protection is CRITICAL for Local and Overseas Businesses

Speaker: Robin Yeo, Regional Manager/ Senior Consultant, FT Consulting

Protecting your company’s Intellectual Property (IP) is essential for long-term success, whether at home or abroad. Without proper protection, your business risks losing sales revenue or facing unnecessary costs.

In this the workshop, you will learn:

  • The key types of IP every business must protect (e.g. trademarks)
  • The potential risks of neglecting IP protection
  • How to safeguard your IP both locally and overseas


15:45 - Firechat: “Catching the Wind in China – Lessons from Our Journey”

Speaker: Lau Kiat Boon, Director of Fort Sanctuary Pte Ltd

Kiat Boon pioneered a unique Singaporean tea roasting technique that blends precision and aging, later partnering with a Chinese state-owned enterprise to apply his expertise to tea leaves from ancient trees. As former Vice-Chairman of the Pu’er Society (2022–2024), he brings first-hand experience working with Chinese partners and navigating China’s fast-evolving business landscape.


Through candid reflections, he shares how success in Singapore doesn’t automatically translate to success in China — where adaptability, collaboration, and humility are key. Discover how shifting from competition to partnership and from being a “king” to a “king-maker” shaped his journey. Like sailing with ever-changing winds, thriving in China means learning to adjust your sails and move in harmony with the market’s rhythm.
