Foreword

2 | EY Entrepreneur Of The Year

This year’s awards, themed “Embracing transformation, driving innovation” aptly

reflects the business imperatives that are determining growth and success in this transformative age.

As disruptive forces drive transformation across all industries and every aspect of business, do you see opportunities or threats?

Technology advances are increasingly redefining the roles of humans in business. Many often ask: do we need new technology capabilities or new human skills?

This year’s Entrepreneur Of The Year award winners are challenging the boundaries between the two. The truth is, businesses need innovation, and therefore, both are vital.

Innovation is the common spark that fuels each of their success stories, made possible by harnessing the upsides of technology and combining it with the entrepreneurial qualities of passion, risk-taking and problem-solving.

As we celebrate the achievements of our winners tonight, we are also celebrating that which makes us uniquely human. May tonight continue to ignite the curiosity and courage within each of us to never stop questioning if there is a better idea or a better way to build a better business for a better working world.

Mr. Christopher Ng graduated with a Degree in Computer Science from the University of Alberta in Canada in 1985 and worked in an American

MNC before embarking on his entrepreneurial journey, founding Rigel Technology in 1991.

Rigel was born out of a then-novel concept — an auto-flushing system for bathrooms, which was in line with campaigns at that time by the Singapore government to promote cleanliness and hygiene.

As Group CEO, Mr. Ng is no stranger to new ventures. He is well-known for championing the importance of an eco-friendly lifestyle through Rigel’s product lines, prior to the green-movement taking off globally.

Since then, Mr. Ng has further expanded on his dream, establishing Rigel’s global headquarters and innovation center at Singapore Changi Business Park as well as adding four subsidiaries throughout Asia to the Rigel brand.

About Business Families Institute @ Singapore Management University (BFI @ SMU) The SMU established the Business Families Institute (BFI@SMU) in August 2012 in response to the growing needs of business families in Asia. Since 2010, the SMU has recognized the emergence of Asian business families and discerned that they require specifically contextualized thought leadership and applied knowledge. With this in mind, BFI@SMU collaborates with various partners, academic or otherwise, to be a knowledge leader in Asian business family-related education, engagement and research. BFI@SMU encourages business families to Think Generations, Think Growth, Think Giving and Think Global, and in doing so, the Institute addresses business family-specific issues such as family, ownership, business succession and governance. The vision of BFI@SMU is to facilitate business families in Asia to develop, harness and leverage their family and financial capital across generations.
