Global Entrepreneurship

The vibrant streets of Kampong Glam buzz with energy as you step into Singapore’s historic Muslim Quarter. Brightly colored shophouses, trendy cafes, and the golden dome of Sultan Mosque create a stunning backdrop. But today, you’re not a tourist—you’re stepping into the shoes of a budding entrepreneur. You’ll interview local business owners to uncover their challenges, successes, and strategies for thriving in Singapore’s dynamic economy.

At first, the thought of interviewing shop owners feels a little daunting, but with encouragement from your friends and Program Leader, you dive in. Each conversation reveals a unique story—from a boutique on Haji Lane blending tradition with trends to a café balancing global flavors with local favorites. These authentic interactions offer insights into what it takes to run a business in one of Asia’s most competitive marketplaces.

By the end of the day, you’ve sharpened your communication skills, gained valuable insights, and built the confidence to connect with others—lessons you’ll carry into your own entrepreneurial journey.

The treetops sway gently above you as you clip into the harness, adrenaline buzzing in your veins. Below, sparkling water reflects the sunlight, but your focus is on the obstacle ahead—a rope bridge suspended high above the ground. At Forest Adventure, you’re stepping far outside your comfort zone. Today is definitely about fun—but beyond that, you’re building teamwork, trust, and pushing your limits.

With each obstacle, you and your fellow Global Navigators cheer each other on, strategizing and problem-solving to make it to the next platform. You’ll need to stay alert, think creatively, and rely on one another to overcome the challenges. By the time you zip across the final line, the sense of accomplishment is unforgettable.

This experience is more than a physical challenge—it’s a lesson in collaboration, risk-taking, and resilience, skills crucial to any entrepreneurial endeavor. Whether conquering fears or solving problems with a team, you’ll leave Forest Adventure with the confidence and mindset to take bold steps in your entrepreneurial journey.
