As part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s master plan for Singapore, the eastern region has been designated as one of four economic gateways that will catalyse the nation’s transition into the future economy.
More than half of Huawei’s 800-strong workforce in Singapore are based at CBP, with the location earmarked as the Asia Pacific regional headquarters for its enterprise and cloud business. Key business arms operating out of CBP include its carrier and network, enterprise, cloud, digital power and consumer units.
Mr Foo added that Huawei is better able to engage local stakeholders, collaborate with nearby companies, as well as catalyse projects and enterprise development thanks to its current locale. According to Mr Anton Susanto, corporate communications director at Honeywell ASEAN, its CBP facility helps to consolidate business functions in Singapore, and acts as a base to serve Southeast Asia as part of its global operations.
“Our Singapore office team in CBP functions as a regional hub that provides solutions to our customers for the end-markets in areas such as paints and coatings, food and agriculture, as well as home and personal care,” said Mr Sobers Sethi, senior vice president of emerging markets and China at Nouryon.
