THE Young Entrepreneurs Association of Brunei (YEAB) recently hosted the second edition of the ‘INSIGHT: Business Networking Dinner’.
Supported by Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam, the event took place on March 13 at the Radisson Hotel in the capital, and brought together more than 60 entrepreneurs from various fields and industries.
INSIGHT aims to provide entrepreneurs with the platform to gain insight on the current development of the economy and business amidst challenging times simultaneously opening up opportunities for the entrepreneurs to network with a diverse group of entrepreneurs from various stages of businesses and industries.
The dinner featured a fireside chat on ‘Finding Resilience Amidst Economic Turbulence’ with Dato Paduka Timothy Ong, founder and Chairman of Asia Inc Forum, moderated by NurLiyana Fatin binti Arifin, Vice President of the YEAB.
Among the topics discussed were future of Brunei businesses locally and the opportunities in the region for entrepreneurs.
INSIGHT was hosted inaugurally last November and is becoming one of YEAB’s key annual activities as the leading association for young entrepreneurs.
“As entrepreneurs, we believe that knowledge sharing and networking can contribute to opportunities,” said Hajah Norlela binti Haji Awang Buang, President of the YEAB.
“Therefore, through INSIGHT we seek to promote the value of extending business network whilst gaining new knowledge.”
The YEAB is a leading association for young Bruneian entrepreneurs in various stages of business.
Established in 2000, the organisation was founded with the mission to ensure access to a network of entrepreneurial experience, nurture an enterprising culture and encourage the spirit of entrepreneurship to facilitate the attainment of Brunei Vision 2035.
