Singapore Sessions (EDB & Monocle magazine)

Great minds never think alike.

The premise is simple.

1) Take one global business challenge.
2) Bring different experts in diverse fields to the table.
3) Then give them a platform to share their solutions.

Why? Because innovation thrives in diverse environments.

With this in mind, the Singapore Sessions was initiated. A multi-platform, multi-disciplinary approach that seeks to find the most insightful solutions to the most pressing business challenges facing the world today.

Over the year, the Singapore Sessions will tackle a variety of issues ranging from healthcare, to the global water crisis. All with the goal of helping industry leaders find better answers to the questions that will ultimately affect the world-at-large.

Through the Singapore Sessions platform, you will be able to share, start, or even add your point-of-view to the conversation. After all, if two heads are better than one, why stop at two?

Where will people congregate?

As countries modernise, more people will be migrating to the cities from rural towns. Meeting the needs of a rapid growing city population will prove challenging for urban planners as they seek to provide essential amenities such as transportation, food and drinks, cultural outlets, and retail among others. In this round of the Singapore Sessions, we catch up with four industry experts to find out how future urban neighbourhoods will turn out and what solutions are needed to design an urban hub that taps into the global city.

How will healthcare evolve in future urban cities?

Tomorrow’s health centres will bear little semblance to the hospitals we have today. In fact, they will look and function more like a “lifestyle hub”, where the focus is on a holistic lifestyle and rejuvenation is the preferred medicine. In this round of the Singapore Sessions, we speak with thought leaders from diverse industries to find out what the future of urban healthcare will be.
