Beyond Borders: Curt & Co Shares Business Expansion Insights at SBF B-Rising in Jakarta

JAKARTA, INDONESIA | 15 OCTOBER 2026 — Expanding into a new market takes more than ambition. It requires the right business structure, a clear market-entry strategy, and an understanding of how to turn opportunities into sustainable growth.

These considerations took centre stage as Curt & Co Pte. Ltd. participated in the Singapore Business Federation’s (SBF) B-Rising 10th Series, “Building Tomorrow Together,” held at Menara KADIN, Jakarta, on 15 October 2026.

Representing Curt & Co, David Ho, Managing Partner, shared insights on structuring businesses for domestic and overseas expansion, under the presentation theme “The Next Market Move: Unlocking New Opportunities Across ASEAN Markets.”

With more than 15 years of consulting experience in Asian market entry and business sustainability strategies, David brought a practical perspective to the challenges companies face when preparing for their next stage of growth.

Building the Right Foundations for Expansion

For businesses looking to grow across Southeast Asia, entering a new market is only the beginning. Companies must understand local market conditions, identify suitable business partners, and determine how their operations and commercial strategies should adapt to a different business environment.

A model that succeeds in one country may not deliver the same results in another. Without the right preparation, businesses risk investing time and resources before establishing a viable route to market.

These considerations are central to Curt & Co’s work in helping businesses explore new markets and develop practical pathways for sustainable growth.

Through market research, due diligence, business matching, local representation, and market-entry support, Curt & Co helps companies navigate unfamiliar markets and connect with relevant local partners across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Strengthening Regional Business Connections

David Ho, Managing Partner of Curt & Co, joins fellow business leaders at the SBF B-Rising 10th Series in Jakarta, fostering connections and conversations around regional business growth.

The B-Rising 10th Series brought together business leaders and industry professionals from Singapore and Indonesia to discuss market-entry opportunities, strategic partnerships, investment prospects, and cross-border collaboration.

The programme also featured a panel discussion, “Building Tomorrow Together: Strategic Pathways to Market Success,” exploring how businesses in both countries can collaborate to achieve sustainable regional growth.

For companies considering expansion across ASEAN, such conversations highlight the importance of combining strategic planning with local market knowledge and meaningful business relationships.
