One of our ventures enjoyed the spotlight at the prestigious China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City (CSGKC) LaunchPad Forum on November 26 in Guangzhou. Ethaan Chang, CEO of Ollins, our integrated packaging solutions venture, shared some insights on the new ways Ollins brings businesses in China and Southeast Asia value. Ollins also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with biodegradable solutions innovator Originnovation Environmental Protection Technology Co. Ltd. This partnership strengthens our commitment to sustainability and advancing its practice in Southeast Asia. What a great way to affirm our focus on businesses that support and sustain life.

After a whirlwind year, we wanted to kick 2025 off with a much-deserved yacht trip to Lazarus Island—but nature had other plans. Turns out that Friday was the first of four days of non-stop rain, complete with flood warnings—so we quickly turned our day out into a stay-in under Sentosa’s breezy canopies. The day was wet but spirits remained undamped and, with a long lunch followed by a massive catch-up, time flew by. Refreshed and raring to go, this is a team that can pivot in work and play—one that, having saved our sailing for sunnier days, now has one more thing to look forward to! https://lnkd.in/gs4MfW_q #LoukenCulture #TeamBuilding #RainRainGoAway

Leading businesses and brands in transformation, a dearly held principle at Louken is to always advance: through challenges, obstacles, and adversity, always learning, absorbing, growing.

Sharing personal experiences leading digital transformation and global expansion at Louken, he outlines a few key lessons from his journey: why digital transformation is more about people than technology, how staying focused on what matters most is what drives sustainable success, and, above all, how learning never stops.

It’s amazing what partnerships with purpose can do, as our recent collab with Mentoring SG on the 2024 National Mentoring Summit made plain. Meaningful on many levels, highlights included seeing seven-time Paralympic champion Pin Xiu Y. on stage with guest of honour Mentoring SG Advisor and Minister of State Alvin Tan sharing mentorship stories. Embodying the summit theme “Mentoring Matters: Guiding Today, Shaping Tomorrow”, their experiences show anything is possible through hard work and careful guidance. Since 2019, the summit has brought together leaders, practitioners, and advocates to exchange ideas, share best practices, and celebrate mentorship's possibilities. It was especially thrilling to work behind the scenes on the event concept, design, programming, and setup. Not just to see our vision come together and be appreciated, but to be part of something we strongly believe in. Massive thanks to Kelvin Kong, Executive Director of Mentoring SG, and to the Mentoring SG team for the chance to co-create this platform for inspiration, and to everyone who came to fire up the spirit of mentorship.

We’re still buzzing from the first Lighthouse Brand Sharing Day. Held recently at the state-of-the-art UBS Singapore Business Hub, the day was all about giving our cohort a platform for their brands, presenting plans and ideas to some of the sharpest minds in business: Sameer Mehta, Managing Director and Head of DSG Consumer Partners, Southeast Asia; Anthony Tjajadi, Founding Partner, Trihill Capital; and Luke Lim, Supermom Business CEO as well as Louken Group Founder and Chairman. Brands had 15 minutes each to pitch concepts and market entry ideas for Indonesia, and they all certainly made the most of it. Panel discussions were lively and spirited, with panellists sparking discussions by probing further with thought-provoking questions and sharing thoughts, insights, and recommendations. Brand Sharing Day marks another programme milestone for our stalwart cohort, a rare opportunity for invaluable investor and industry insider feedback on what already works or can still be improved. Massive, massive thanks to our venerable panellists Sameer Mehta, Anthony Tjajadi and Luke Lim for their time and knowledge, and to UBS for being an excellent venue partner and host, providing the ideal forum setting as part of their commitment to supporting local entrepreneurs and brands. What’s next? Our cohort takes on the next phases of the programme armed to the teeth with fresh insights and perspectives. Moving closer and closer to the endgame, stay tuned!

Jakarta, a vibrant city full of energy and endless opportunities! 🇮🇩✨ We recently embarked on an incredible mission trip with the first cohort for Lighthouse, our accelerator programme built in partnership with Enterprise Singapore. Over an action-packed week, the cohort forged alliances with strategic partners, setting the stage for growth. The cohort also took the opportunity to learn more about the nuances of the local market by diving deep into Jakarta’s happening retail scene.🚀 We were truly honoured to have the support of distinguished local government leaders Dr. Dave Laksono (Member of Parliament), Nurul Ichwan (Deputy at Ministry of Investment), Major General Rano Tillar (LEMHANAS), and Mr. Edward Sioewardi (Special Envoy to the Minister of Trade) who graced our event and learned more about Singapore's homegrown brands. A special shoutout goes out to JKTGO, HEPMIL Media Group, and Brightspot Market, for graciously sharing valuable marketing insights into the local market through curated masterclasses. While the mission trip marks the halfway point of our programme, more exciting things still lie ahead. Stay tuned for the rest of this amazing journey as we continue to make waves!
