In a story published on 2 December 2018 on the setting up of e-cigarette company Juul Labs’ regional HQ in Singapore, Head of IP & TMT Adrian Tan said: “Singapore is well-respected by companies across the world as an ideal site for an HQ. We provide vigorous protection of intellectual property, stringent corporate governance standards, as well as clean and efficient infrastructure; and the Singapore government is famed for the level of support that it gives the business community. It is therefore no surprise that companies of all types are attracted to Singapore and view Singapore as a platform for their regional or global business, and a springboard to the rest of the world.”
