Roundtable 1
Affordable and Accessible Healthcare
Roundtable II
Investment Promotion – The Next Generation
Time:

Time:

Moderator:
Rhenu Bhuller, Senior Vice President, Healthcare, Frost & Sullivan
Moderator:
Shivaji Das, Senior Vice President and Global Head, Public Sector &
Government Practice, Frost & Sullivan
Objective of the session:
The objective of this platform is to build a network of like-minded professionals
who have a passion for improving inequality in healthcare access and enabling
affordable healthcare for all segments of the population.
Context:
Our world is faced with an increasing healthcare burden. Growing and aging
populations and increased urbanization is driving the incidence of chronic diseases.
The inability of the healthcare system to pick up diseases earlier is detrimental
to long term healthcare outcomes. Additionally, public hospitals are overburdened
with high occupancy rates and are faced with delays in admission or procedures.
This indicates that there is a need to find ways to leverage technology for more
and to manage the health of the population proactively in a preventive fashion
rather than the traditional way to treating illnesses as they arise. One of the ways
to address this challenge is to look at extending healthcare outside of the hospital,
and driving a change in the model where consumers and patients are put in the
driving seat through a new healthcare ecosystem.
To address this, the panel discussion during the session will discuss the following:
Objective of the session:
The objective of this platform is to deliberate on innovative and differentiated
strategies for Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) to attract investments while
managing stakeholder needs. This session will involve a brief presentation by Frost
& Sullivan followed by a panel discussion among representatives from leading IPAs,
investors, and NGOs.
Context:
There are over 500 investment promotion agencies (IPAs) worldwide. They are
competing for a shrinking pie of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) targeting the
same set of Fortune 500/ Forbes 2000 companies, offering the same incentives
and pitching similar value propositions. In this hyper-competitive world of
investment promotion, how can IPAs differentiate themselves and justify their
existence?
To address this question, the panel discussion during this session will discuss the
following:
•
What are the latest trends for FDI?
•
Unlocking the Paradigm Shifts in Healthcare
•
What are the top challenges and concerns faced by IPAs?
•
Required shifts in roles and responsibilities of stakeholders
•
What are the best practices that IPAs can adopt?
•
Innovation Opportunities to enable affordable healthcare
•
How to cooperate instead of compete?
•
Healthcare 2020:Vision for the Future
•
How can IPAs identify and address the unmet needs of
investors and other stakeholders?

company, since December 2009. He has led the
company to significant improvements in performance
outcomes, especially in licensing and start-ups. Under
his leadership, ETPL manages over 50 POC and

gap within the industry. Mr Lim has also spent 20 years in the Singapore Armed

entrepreneurs, with his mum, aunts, uncles all having
owned bakery businesses then and now. Unlike most
Singaporeans, Wei Chan took an unconventional path
when it came to his education. He did not enroll in a
local university but decided to follow in his sister’s
footsteps and enrolled into the University of Calgary (Canada), one of Canada's
top ten universities. He completed his studies in a Business Management course
with a double major in Marketing and Tourism. In 2003, after 5 years working
in the corporate world, Wei Chan decided to embark on his very own
entrepreneurial journey - to make cakes part of his everyday life.With no industry
knowledge and baking skills then, he took on the uphill task and took over the
reins at Pine Garden’s Cake Pte Ltd (then known as Pine Delight Pte Ltd). The
journey was not all that smooth as it was then a company in the reds and had a
team who hung on to the old mind set of management and production methods.
In 2010, Wei Chan was awarded winner of Singapore first SME’s I.T. Hero under
Hewlett Packard Total Care Challenge 2010, which was a first of its kind
nation-wide campaign to discover and celebrate I.T. talent amongst small and
medium size enterprises in Singapore. Wei Chan was also voted Junior Chamber
International Ten Outstanding Young Person of the World in 2011 and in 2012, he
was roped in both as a Council Member of Association of Small and Medium
