We love to take in the local culture whenever possible on our business trips, and recently we got to explore the Yu Garden (Yuyuan) in Shanghai. Located in the Old City, this area includes a beautiful garden and a massive, stimulating bazaar. It’s an absolute must when visiting Shanghai, and we want to share nine […]
If you know us, you know we love to indulge in local cuisine when traveling for work, and one of the best places to do that is in Singapore.

The amazing city-state of Singapore is not only a financial hub and an important market for ideoli’s business; it’s also a foodie’s paradise!

In our view, being a successful global business doesn’t just mean invigorating spaces so we can please clients and grow our revenues; it also means doing our share to give back to the communities that contribute to our business and help shape our company. As such, Ideoli gets involved with a number of charitable causes […]
We’re not perfect, but we’re pretty damn close. And when we do run into roadblocks, we use our passion, determination and creativity to come up with solutions. For example, for a recent order, when a client requested a vital component be added after the order left our factory, we had to think quick. So when […]
