Federal Express Corporation is continuing its commitment to youth empowerment through the 2025 FedEx/Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge (FedEx/JA ITC). The event, held in Singapore, brought together young minds to present entrepreneurial ideas and global trade strategies. Six students were selected to represent Singapore at the upcoming Asia Pacific regional finals in August 2025.

The FedEx/JA ITC program, now in its 18th year, aims to inspire entrepreneurial thinking among young students in Singapore. 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.

This year's competition required students to develop a Market Entry Strategy Plan for a sustainable fashion solution aimed at reducing product return waste for China. The winning teams showcased innovative solutions:

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.
