This is a significant step, with Delivery Hero’s various entities coming under one roof: including your investment arm Delivery Hero Ventures, and the foodpanda Singapore operations. Very good to see all of you here today and congratulations on the 10th year anniversary of foodpanda in Asia and opening of Delivery Hero Asia’s regional hub workspace here in Singapore.Ģ.
