GLOBAL BEST PRACTICES SERIES:
“BUILDING BETTER BUSINESS HUBS”

The American Chamber of Commerce and The Riyadh Group for British Business collaborated with the British, American, and Singaporean embassies for an event in the Global Best Practices Series entitled "Building Better Business Hubs: Case Studies from the United Kingdom, United States, and Singapore."

Our esteemed panelists included: Ambassador Neil Crompton, who generously hosted us at his Residential Gardens; Chargé d'Affaires Martina Strong; and Ambassador Chow Ming Wong. The discussion was moderated by Christopher Johnson, AmChamKSA's Ex-Officio Chairman.

The event served as a stage for the panelists to highlight some of the best practices generated by their countries in creating international investment opportunities, for example: London becoming a global hub for fintech in the United Kingdom, the growth of tech in Silicon Valley and research and development in Massachusetts within the United States, as well as the competitive advantages of Singapore
in attracting corporate regional headquarters.

The speakers also emphasized the importance of a variety of factors in facilitating best practices in investment, including political and economic stability, solution flexibility, and the perception and branding of these opportunities on a global scale.
