Conceived as a high-profile initiative by the Overseas Singaporean Unit, the Distinguished Business Leaders (DBL) Series was launched in August 2006. It seeks to create a platform for interaction between Singapore-based companies and the Overseas Singaporean community. This is to enable Overseas Singaporeans to stay abreast of developments in the various sectors of the Singapore economy and that of the wider Asian region. The DBL Series would be of particular interest to Overseas Singaporeans wishing to find out more about the job and business opportunities in Singapore and the Asian region.
