Pushkar N Pradhan

"It is an amazing program which gives insight into various facets when starting a business which are essential for the launch, build and growth stage of a company. The support ecosystem is amazing."
Jenny & Zhu Jun
CEO & Head of Strategy & Planning and Human Resouces, Singrass
We are very grateful that Singrass' first delegation visit to the UAE was with ACE. The team was very clear on the objective of the trip, hence the content and pace was well executed.
Singrass benefitted greatly from the networking and business opportunities arranged with key stakeholders in UAE's cleantech industry. The format of the various meetings and events facilitated interactive and dynamic discussions.
In a short span of time, we were sufficiently immersed in the market which allowed us to gauge market opportunities and risks.
We appreciate the important networks built during the trip, and look forward to participate in other activities and events organised by ACE
