ASL LAW is honored to receive an invitation from the Franchise and Licensing Association of Singapore to attend the workshop on Franchise between Singapore and Vietnam. The content of the seminar discussed potential opportunities and challenges for Singapore businesses when Singapore franchisors entered into the Vietnamese market.
Franchising and Licensing Association (Singapore), also known as FLA (Singapore), one of the founding members of the World Franchise Council, was established in 1993 with the mission to nurture and develop Singapore’s franchising industry.
An essential component of Singapore’s knowledge-based economy, FLA (Singapore) promotes and facilitates the use of franchising, licensing and branding as a growth strategy for Singapore enterprises, thus contributing to turning Singapore as a regional franchise and license hub.
With an active growing membership of close to 130 companies, representing more than 200 strong brands, FLA (Singapore) is led and managed by a dedicated team of advisors, committee members and full-time secretariat with the goal of supporting Singapore companies to expand internationally.
