AS part of its continuous efforts to help local companies and collect information on business related issues, DARe (Darussalam Enterprise) held a dialogue session yesterday with enterprises, vendors and entrepreneurs.
The event took place at the Design and Technology Building located at the Anggerek Desa Technology Park, and saw a total attendance of over 80 people from enterprises, government agencies, non-government agencies and interested individuals.
The dialogue is part of a series of sessions organised by DARe that act as a platform for enterprises to openly share and provide suggestions on how to improve the current business ecosystem in Brunei.
Before the yesterday’s session started, enterprises were given the opportunity to use three “Issues Log In Desks” to log in any issues they have specific to online payment, skill sets matching or courier services.
The dialogue itself saw three presentations shared, first from the Ease of Doing Business Unit (EODB) under the Prime Minister’s Office by Zulfadli bin Abu Bakar on the current processes of starting a business in Brunei, while Diana binti Haji Ramli represented DARe to speak on the functions and aims of what it will provide to enterprises and how it will assist them.
