Singapore to host first-ever World Engineers Summit

Summit to tackle climate change solutions.

Singapore will host the first-ever World Engineers Summit (WES) 2013 from 9th to 15th September at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

Themed “Innovative and Sustainable Solutions to Climate Change”, the Summit will be held in conjunction with the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO) General Assembly and committee meetings.

WFEO is an international, non-governmental organisation representing the engineering profession worldwide; it brings together national engineering organisations from over 90 nations and represents some 20 million engineers from around the world.

Furthermore, the Summit will be held alongside two other industry events – Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia 2013 and the International Green Building Conference 2013.

Organizers said this convergence of events will allow engineers from multiple disciplines to congregate and share innovative and eco-friendly solutions and best practices drawn from around the world.

Organized by the Institution of Engineers Singapore and managed by Reed Exhibitions, the Summit is expected to draw more than 1,000 attendees, making it the largest international gathering of engineers in the history of Singapore.

Delegates attending WES 2013 can look forward to industry keynotes, panel discussions and over 12 concurrent breakout sessions all aimed at fostering dialogue among industry, academic and government leaders whilst providing insights and analysis on hot topics related to climate change and sustainability.

Luminaries who will be delivering keynote addresses on 11 sectors ranging from governments to corporations to NGOs, and regions from Asia to Europe to Latin America. They include Mr Bindu N Lohani, Vice President, Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development, Asia Development Bank, Dr Noleen Heyzer, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, Dr Suzana Kahn-Ribeiro, Green Economy Sub-Secretary, Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Environment, Brazil, and Dr Roland Busch, CEO, Infrastructure & Cities Sector, Siemens AG.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
