The ShangHai Honourable Women Entrepreneur (SHE) Business Award 2023 Briefing Session

On October 30, 2023, in anticipation of the upcoming ShangHai Honourable Women Entrepreneur (SHE) Business Award 2023, the Briefing Session was successfully co-hosted by ShangHai and Aspial Production, working together to promote the exceptional achievements of women in the business world.

The event began with an opening speech by Eric Lee, Founder of Aspial Production, followed by insights from four esteemed judges: Datin Dr. Cherlin Cheah, Datuk Ada Poon, Prof. Dato Dr. Elizabeth Lee, and Dr. Coco Wong, who shared their entrepreneurial experiences.

Datuk Ada Poon highlighted that women are now poised to step onto the global stage and showcase their talents. Prof. Dato Dr. Elizabeth Lee and Dr. Coco Wong further emphasized the critical role and contributions of female entrepreneurs in driving economic development. They echoed the principle of the SHE 2023, “Supporting Women, Building Futures,” advocating for the dedication and spirit of women on their entrepreneurial journeys.

Datin Dr. Cherlin Cheah, CEO of ShangHai Media Sdn Bhd and judge for the SHE 2023, called on more female entrepreneurs to step forward, stating that this is the era of women’s rise, and it’s time for them to build their own brands.

Why do entrepreneurs need to build a personal brand? Eric Lee provided the answer: “The times have changed. In the past, businesses could simply profit from buying and selling; but in the era of globalization, branding is the most powerful weapon to surpass your competitors, and the strongest fortress to ensure you’re not eliminated by the market.”
