FedEx / JA International Trade Challenge
Over the past eighteen years that Singapore had participated, the program has benefitted 6,703 students in Singapore with 106 Singapore students representing the country at the regional Challenge. Our students’ performances have been impressive so far with placings in many years. In 2024, for the first time in history, one country (Singapore) did a clean sweep – clinching 1st, 2nd & 3rd places!!
The Asia Pacific International Trade Challenge was held in Hong Kong (2007, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016), Kuala Lumpur (2008, 2019), Singapore (2009, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2024 and 2025), and Thailand (2011). We will be hosting this year’s Asia Pacific FedEx /JA International Trade Challenge in Singapore again.
The ITC is a competition on Market Entry Strategy. To prepare for the Market Entry Strategy, the students are required to research and synthesize detailed information related to a specific country to gain a greater understanding of international trade. The exercise stresses the elements of teamwork, competition, marketing, promotion and innovation, and it requires the students to develop a clearly written international marketing plan.
