SUMMARY:Europe Day - Closed Door meeting
DESCRIPTION:Picture of the event: \n  \n  \nBusinesses operating in hyper-competitive regions such as Asia need an effective pipeline of leaders to sustain long-term growth. The lack of leadership talent is consistently rated amongst the greatest business challenges in Asia.  \nWhile the specific nature of Asia’s leadership gaps vary across large local organizations and multinational corporations (MNCs)\, the magnitude and components of the challenge are consistent. MNCs can fill skill gaps with expatriates but struggle to capitalise on local expertise and relationships. Local family-owned enterprises often struggle to make the transition to a new generation’s way of leading. \nWith organisations in Asia grappling with change and challenged by multigenerational workforce management being one of the critical areas for HR professionals\, combined with ongoing talent shortage for skilled professionals\, it becomes increasingly important for organisations of today\, to focus on development of talent succession pipeline and initiate best practices for high-performance leadership. \nThis raises important questions: \nIs there a shortage of suitable talent and leadership in these regions? Or should we examine the validity of the “global leader” yardstick? \nHow can organisations in Asia Pacific bridge the leadership talent gap? \nWhat are the reasons for leadership shortage in Southeast Asia and how can organisations in the region step up efforts to promote leadership development? \nCan Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) help organisations rise to the challenge of leadership gaps? \nProgramme:  \n09.45 am: Registration (sharp)\n10.00 am: Receiving of Minister Chan Chun Sing\n10.05 am: Welcome by Mr Stefano Poli\, President EuroCham\n10.10 am: Round Table discussion\n11.15 am: End of the session \nThe VIP Reception of Europe Day Luncheon starts at 11.30 am. \nRegistration:  \nBy invitation only. The invitation is NOT applicable for the Europe Day Luncheon. You will need a separate registration for the Luncheon. Please use this link. \nAbout the Speaker:  \n \nMr Chan Chun Sing\nMinister in Prime Minister’s Office and Secretary-General\, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) \nMr Chan Chun Sing is currently Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC).  On 1 October 2015\, Mr Chan was appointed Deputy Chairman of the People’s Association. \nOn 9 April 2015\, Mr Chan was appointed Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and relinquished his appointments as Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for Defence\, both of which he had held since 1 September 2013.  At the Ministry of Social and Family Development\, he was responsible for improving social service delivery\, enhancing social safety nets and strengthening support for families in Singapore.  His previous appointments included Acting Minister for Community Development\, Youth and Sports (21 May 2011 to 31 October 2012) and Minister of State for Information\, Communications and the Arts (21 May 2011 to 31 July 2012). \nMr Chan was appointed Secretary-General of NTUC on 4 May 2015 after the NTUC Central Committee unanimously elected him to this appointment on 8 April 2015.  He was first appointed Deputy Secretary-General on 27 January 2015 by the NTUC Central Committee after joining NTUC on 23 January 2015 to help strengthen labour leadership at NTUC and the link between the Labour Movement and the Government.  He was re-elected as the NTUC Secretary-General by the NTUC National Delegates’ Conference on 29 October 2015. \nIn 2011\, Mr Chan left the Singapore Armed Forces to run in the 2011 General Election and was elected Member of Parliament for Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency (GRC).  During his military career with the Singapore Armed Forces (1987 to 2011)\, he held various appointments\, including the Chief of Army (2010 to 2011)\, Chief of Staff of Joint Staff (2009 to 2010) and Chief Infantry Officer (2007 to 2009). \nMr Chan also served on various statutory boards and government-linked companies\, including Singapore Totalisator Board (2011)\, ST Kinetics Limited (2010 to 2011)\, Civil Service College (2010 to 2011)\, Defence Science & Technology Agency (2009 to 2010)\, Defence Science Organisation (2009 to 2010) and International Enterprise Singapore (2006 to 2009). \nSponsors: \n \n \nOfficial Beer Sponsor:  \n \nWine & Champagne Sponsor:  \n  \nIn collaboration with:

SUMMARY:Myanmar - Energy Infrastructure Development Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Despite being plagued with difficulties in its transition to democracy\, Myanmar is a country in the region that desperately requires investment in its energy sector to underpin stable economic development. The country has one of the lowest rates of electricity access in South East Asia – only around 30% of its 53 million inhabitants have access to grid electricity – and yet it is an exporter of energy with extensive gas and hydro resources.   \nDrawing from commercial and legal backgrounds\, the panel will cover some of the current obstacles to investment in Myanmar and projects that are nonetheless being developed. Taking account of short and long term risks they will also consider how the opportunities to invest in Myanmar stack up against other opportunities in ASEAN. \nOur Energy and Utilities business group have been collaborating with the Energy Working Group from the British Chamber in Myanmar to bring together this insightful event and we hope you will be able to join us as we look at the energy opportunities in this region in more detail. \nPlease click here to have more information about the speakers.  \nRegistration fees: \nBritCham Members: 50$\nNon-Members: 90$

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.

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.
