Collaboration with FMAS Members
FMAS is proud to announce the involvement of two of our members – Keat Hong 253 Merchants’ Association and Nee Soon Link N4 Merchants’ Association – in RP’s Digital Business Challenge this year. This collaboration provided students with a unique opportunity to engage directly with local heartland businesses, understand their challenges, and develop marketing content to promote the neighbourhood centres.
Throughout the challenge, tertiary students from RP played the role of student mentors, providing guidance to the participating teams, helping them refine their ideas and proposals. Outstanding teams advanced to the Grand Finals on 29 June, where they presented their compelling ideas and solutions, and competed for cash prizes.
This year’s challenge shone a spotlight on vibrant heartland precincts through destination marketing. Heartfelt thanks to all student teams for their dedicated efforts and fresh insights. Their work has opened up new possibilities for initiatives that our heartland precincts could embark on in the future!
