“We do have an infrastructure that’s in place that we constantly use to actually help our clients to simplify processes, to simplify regulation.” – 01:23
Desmond Foo, CEO of Enigmatig, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the recent surge in IPO and deal-making activity, which has rebounded despite earlier concerns over tariffs.
Remy inquires about Enigmatig’s decision to choose the U.S. as its preferred listing location. Desmond responds that, although their headquarters is in Singapore, their clientele is global. He emphasizes that the U.S. market offers the confidence and credibility that resonate with their diverse clients, making it an ideal destination for listing.
As the conversation progresses, Remy asks how Enigmatig’s listing enhances its ability to support clients through various stages of expansion. Desmond highlights the importance of speed in the current market climate, noting that access to additional funds through listing allows Enigmatic to invest in infrastructure, technology, and talent. This investment ultimately enhances their capacity to assist clients in achieving their growth objectives.
Towards the end of the segment, Remy prompts Desmond to share insights on the current state of international market expansion for SMEs. Desmond describes a growing trend among Asian customers looking to go global and explains Enigmatig’s mission to help clients expand by being local in their target markets. He also mentions the increasing interest from Western companies seeking to enter Asian markets, positioning Enigmatic as a key facilitator in these cross-border expansions.
