Pacific International Lines (PIL) has become one of six founding partners of the Singapore Business Federation’s Centre for the Future of Trade and Investment (CFOTI). The collaboration aims to strengthen regional trade connectivity and help Singapore enterprises navigate today’s complex global trade landscape.
The partnership was announced at a seminar on ‘Navigating US Tariff: Adapt and Advance’. The event also saw the launch of the Trade AI Advisor (TAIA), the world’s first generative AI tool for global trade advisory.
S. S. Teo, Chairman of SBF and Executive Chairman of PIL, said the partnership creates an ecosystem for businesses, policymakers, and thought leaders to experiment, exchange ideas, and co-develop solutions. William Ng, CFO of PIL, added that tools like TAIA help companies make smarter, faster decisions when entering new markets.
The initiative brings together partners including DBS Bank, DHL Express, PwC Singapore, Rajah & Tann Asia, and Temasek Foundation. Together, they aim to build a future-ready trade ecosystem that is inclusive, sustainable, and innovation-driven.
