Why Teochew Entrepreneur Award?

The Teochew Entrepreneur Award was inaugurated in 2016 as the Singapore Teochew Entrepreneur Award (SGTEA).

In recognizing the significance of Singapore as an ideal hub for Teochews in the region to converge, the Asia Teochew Entrepreneur Award was established with a renewed mission to:

  • Elevate the profiles of local & overseas Teochew entrepreneurs.
  • Facilitate regional networking opportunities, encourage cross-border partnerships and alliances to promote economic growth and shared prosperity.
  • Enhance regional visibility for Teochew entrepreneurs through strategic media coverage. 

The Asia Teochew Entrepreneur Award 2025 aims to build upon the success of its predecessors, providing a dynamic platform that not only honors achievements but also serves as a catalyst for positive change, growth, and enduring connections within the Teochew business ecosystem.
