Leaders Speak - Entrepreneurship “The great technological revolution in recent years has seen the advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning for the benefit of a whole range of industries, including hospitality. The digitalisation of food delivery, for example, was a huge step forward – but it’s only the beginning. Inspired by the 2019 ”Future of food, How technology and global trends are transforming the food industry” report by Deloitte APAC, I saw an opportunity for an entirely new model to address the contemporary consumer’s needs. Realising it is too easy to be one of many with a slight point of difference, I embarked on a business venture where the intersection of cultural, environmental, digital and safety principles would effect a meaningful disruption to the dining experience.”

“With small businesses, economists tend to see them as economic units. They’re not, they’re individuals with ideas. When you look at innovation in small business, it is driven by expertise, ideas, and a desire to do things better. Governments need to engage with small businesses as individuals to be able to locate, support, and grow innovative companies at the local level.”
Peter Strong , former CEO, COSBOA
