Six students were selected to represent Singapore at the upcoming Asia Pacific regional finals in August 2025.

In collaboration with JA Singapore, a non-profit organization focused on preparing young students for success in a global economy, the program offers insights into international trade through workshops and team challenges.

Eric Tan, Managing Director of FedEx Singapore, said: “It’s inspiring to see how quickly young people can turn bold ideas into actionable solutions when given the right support and encouragement.”

Since 2008, the FedEx/JA ITC program has reached over 6,700 students in Singapore. Participants have consistently excelled at the regional level, reflecting strong collaboration between FedEx and JA Singapore.
