SUMMARY:EuroCham Myanmar Energy\, Infrastructure and Construction Update
DESCRIPTION:Pictures of the event: \n \n \nNever a dull moment in Myanmar’s energy and infrastructure space. The change in Union Minister has certainly sparked a jolt of energy into a long list of stalled and uncertain projects. Four large LNG to Power projects received Government approval (“NTP”) on the eve of a reboot of Myanmar’s foreign currency and Government guarantee policy. Long stalled hydropower projects are told to get a move on\, and the IFC delivered a brand new Model PPA to the Government. Going forward\, there are key changes in the approval process and various project documents (please welcome the “Concession Agreement”\, for example) while the MOEE gets down to business on tariff expectations with prospective sponsors. If that were not enough\, a new PPP Law is about to see the light (in a very unexpected way) just as the massive Yangon Expressway project is gathering speed. \nTOPICS: \nDeal Roundup: Deals and Projects\, Present and Upcoming \n\n– LNG to Power: 4 new LNG/Gas to power projects receive Notice to Proceed\n– The Government’s priority infrastructure projects list\n– Hydropower plants update: we are moving forward again\n– Solar: new projects in the pipeline\n– Midstream and downstream oil and gas: now or never\n\n  \nNew Developments affecting Myanmar Gas\, Hydro and Solar PPAs: Comparison Table \n\n– Will the Myanmar Government insist on MMK for PPAs?\n– Update on sovereign guarantees\n– Myanmar PPA Tariff structure update: less capacity more energy payments?\n– Differences in PPAs in payment rights during force majeure period\n– Termination payments: are they bankable in Myanmar PPAs?\n– The new MOEE/IFC hydropower PPA template\n\n  \nBrownfield Opportunities: Acquiring a Stake of an Existing Power or Fuel Project \n\n– Buying a stake of an existing solar project: what to look for in the due diligence\n– Fuel terminals on Myanmar Port Authority Land: how is the lease structured?\n– Onshore structure: how to convert a Myanmar company into joint ventures (without a new entity)?\n– Offshore structure: why you need two Singapore companies\, not one\n\n  \nFSRU/Transmission lines\, pipelines and FSRUs \n\n– Outlook for new TX and gas pipeline projects\n– Myanmar shipping and port regulations affecting FSU’s and FSRUs\n– What are the legal aspects of right of way in Myanmar?\n– Approval process for pipeline and storage construction\n\n  \nReal Estate and Infrastructure: Update on Construction Projects in Myanmar \n\n– Land transportation infrastructure: get ready for a big push\n– Residential: the new structure of mixed use real estate development projects post Condo Law\n– How to split the onshore and offshore portion of an EPC contract?\n– Approvals and registration of foreign engineers\n\n  \nClic here to download the agenda  \nRegistration: \nNo more registration.  \nProgramme: \n \n9.00 am: Registration & Networking\n9.30 am: Welcome Remarks\n9.35 am: Introduction EuroCham Myanmar\n10.00 am: Speakers speech\n11.45 am: Q & A\n12.00 am: End \nAbout the Speakers:  \n \nMr Edwin Vanderbruggen\, Senior Partner\, Yangon \nEdwin Vanderbruggen is one of Myanmar’s most prominent foreign legal advisers.

SUMMARY:EuroCham Breakfast Dialogue: EuroCham and Singapore partnership in building the next generation of HR.
DESCRIPTION:  \nSummary of event: \nAt the panel dialogue held on the 14th of February\, EuroCham hosted 14 members of the European Parliament (MEPs) at a dialogue on building the next generation of HR professionals\, and understanding what helps Singapore tick when it comes to manpower and labour practices.

Singapore and the Southeast Asian region may also share about its experience with the contingent workforce and the challenging tasks of attracting and retaining talent. Panellists also shared about how institutes of higher learning will need to be transformed into institutes of continuous learning instead due to the ever-changing nature of industries\, and thus encouraging the workforce to remain skilled and relevant. \n  \n  \nAbout: \n16 Members of the European Parliament from the Friends of Singapore group in the European Parliament will be making a working visit to Singapore at the invitation of the Singapore Government. \nDuring their visit EuroCham\, in collaboration with NTUC\, is hosting this breakfast event with the MEPs\, alongside European businesses based in Singapore.

SUMMARY:HR Committee meeting with Universum
DESCRIPTION:Summary of event\nEuroCham hosted a presentation by Ms. Rachele Forcardi\, senior VP at Universum where she presented the findings of a global survey conducted by Universum on the attitudes of the Generation Z. Defined as youths between the ages of 14 and 19\, these individuals expressed a shocking view on their use of social media\, career goals\, and entrepreneurship. \nThe results of the survey proved to be a worrying trend for governments\, employers\, and universities where these youths had expressed increased scepticism of the value of a university degree as compared to hands-on experience and life achievements. As an emerging generation that are presently in high school faced with the choice of entering university and participating in the workforce afterward\, a large portion of those surveyed had a positive view on doing good rather than making more money\, if and when such a dichotomy exists. \nTo find out more about this interesting study and to view the results\, please contact the corporate affairs manager Mr. Elgin Seah at elgin.seah@eurocham.org.sg. \n  \n  \nSynopsis \nThis event is an opportunity for HR professionals to get an insider’s view of a new global study conducted by Universum with 50\,000 members of the Gen Z generation. What will interest EuroCham members is the ASEAN regional study showing country-by-country attitudes to work\, to education\, to corporate careers and entrepreneurship and to technology. \nThe format of this meeting will be a presentation of the study and dialogue with HR and higher education professionals about how to prepare for the next generation in Asia.  \nSpeaker: \nRachele Focardi is Senior Vice President for APAC at Universum\, a leading  Employer Branding and Talent Strategy company. Rachele is a regular contributor to EuroCham’s HR Committee and is a well-known thought leader in Asia on questions of Employer Branding\, Talent Strategy and how to harmonize a Multi-generational Workforce. \n  \nThis event is open only to EuroCham members.
