The Deputy Chairman of ACE and Co-President, World Entrepreneurship Forum, Inderjit Singh said: "ACE, together with public and private sector partners, have been nurturing promising innovative start-ups to become global enterprises.
"We have seen significant results in fostering a pro-business environment and entrepreneurship among our youths.
"The forum this year will give us an opportunity to share our experience in promoting entrepreneurship. It is to also learn more about entrepreneurship and innovation from global thought leaders and experts," he said in announcing the forum here.
