The Teochew Entrepreneur Award was inaugurated in 2016 as the Singapore Teochew Entrepreneur Award (SGTEA).
Being the only award for Teochews, by Teochews, the inaugural TEA in Singapore gained much interest from the community and saw many prominent businessmen and organisations stepping forward to be a part of this award. This led to a huge success of the award which brought about much media hype and publicity to the Teochew values and culture. With that, the Award's platform very quickly became an opportunity for like-minded entrepreneurs to gather and build a strong and extensive business network. Hence, the birth of The Teochew Entrepreneur Club, an active community that facilitates closer cultural exchanges and business opportunities through on-going activities and engagement.
