World financial markets are rapidly evolving as new and emerging technology brings both disruption and opportunity across multiple asset classes. Market participants are increasingly finding value in working together — often with the new entrants — to build scale, expand their global reach and raise their service offering.
On July 13, Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) launched the fifth edition of its annual SGX Orb Awards, which recognises excellence in financial journalism. For this year’s special category, content producers are invited to share their stories on how collaboration, partnerships and an ecosystem mindset is driving success in Asian markets and shaping Singapore’s role as an international financial centre.
The special category this year — which differs year to year — is “collaborate to compete”. SGX Group’s managing director and head of marketing and communications Teo Ai June says that collaboration has always been the driving force at the group to build a “trusted ecosystem” alongside partners, clients and colleagues globally.
