Fragomen Singapore office will host an insightful lunch and learn session on Thursday, 29 May exploring the evolving immigration landscape across Asia Pacific, set against a backdrop of significant geopolitcal developments.
Our immigration professionals will examine the post-election landscape in Singapore, Australia and the Philippines, alongside the impact of escalating global trade tensions. The evolving geopolitical environment is presenting significant challenges for businesses in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in the areas of workforce mobility, regulatory compliance, and strategic planning.
Our professionals will provide a comprehensive overview of:
- The impact of geopolitical trends and post-elections on immigration policies and business mobility in key Asia Pacific markets
- Immigration trends and regulatory developments shaping business strategies across the Asia Pacific region
- Benchmarking best practices: How leading organisations are adapting their immigration programs to remain agile and competitive
- How governments across Asia Pacific are using immigration policy to attract global talent and investment
- Forward-looking insights to help you anticipate risks and opportunities in a dynamic environment
There will be an opportunity to network before and after the session, and a light lunch will be provided. Please contact [email protected] with questions.
