The Citi–SGX ASEAN New Economy Forum on 3 February convened investors, market leaders, and Asian founders, including Maya, Gradiant, Cloudsway AI, Circles, and SGX-listed Ultragreen.ai, for a focused discussion on how Asia’s next generation of companies can access public capital more effectively.    A highlight was the panel featuring Gillian Tan, Assistant Managing Director at Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Pol de Win, Head of Global Sales and Origination at SGX Group, Timothy Wee, Senior Investment Principal of 65 Equity Partners, and Kenneth Tang, Senior Portfolio Manager at Amova Asset Management Asia Pte Ltd. The group dove deep into the genesis of the Global Listing Board, offering perspectives from across the capital markets ecosystem and discussing how each stakeholder envisions contributing to the success of this new platform.   What stood out was the shared view that earlier, higher-quality engagement between private companies and public market investors is essential. Familiarity, governance discipline and long-term alignment cannot be built at IPO - they must be developed well before.   SGX and Citi remain aligned in supporting the next generation of high‑growth scalable Asian companies as they prepare for the public markets. #SGXStockExchange #CapitalMarket #IPO Harish Raman | Jingkai Yew | Sophia Liao | Shailesh Baidwan | Aayush Jhunjhunwala | Prakash Govindan | Edison C. | Prashant Nichani | Zhiheng (William) Du | Roger Ng
