APC (Asia Pacific Top Excellence Brand Committee) is an international business platform founded in 2000 with secretariat offices in Asia Pacific countries. Since its inception, thousands of businesses have joined. The primary mission of APC is to assist local businesses and corporations in establishing an international brand and expanding their operations nationally and globally.

“This is what we can do to help. It should not be a problem. We are open to helping all entrepreneurs and businessmen because we want Sabah to prosper with you,” said Joachim, the Industrial Development Minister.

During the dinner, Innovative Hub had the opportunity to increase the awareness of E-Commerce among those present.

“Businesses in East Malaysia are not as exposed to E-Commerce as those in West Malaysia. We are glad that the Sabah government is opening its doors to international players! So we used this opportunity to bring awareness to East Malaysia business owners of E-Commerce’s advantages. If businesses want to make a mark in the global marketplace, Alibaba.com is the way to go.”, Lee said.

More than 600 APC members, including 37 delegates from outside Sabah, attended the event.
