Session 3: Industry 4.0
1300 - 1350
1350 - 1420
We look to innovations from Industry 4.0 to drive productivity increases comparable to those generated by the introduction of the steam engine in the Industrial Revolution. The sheer magnitude of our region’s manufacturing industry has us contemplating this frontier across industrial biotech, robotics and logistics.

Session 4: Food, Agriculture and Environment
1440 - 1500
Mr Ernest Xue, Hello Tomorrow
​
Over 80% of food consumed in developing Asia is produced by its 435 million smallholder farmers. Predictably, these farmers often lack access to modern market/ sustainable practices and live in poverty. Concurrently, our food chains, water and climate cycles are buckling under our industrial and consumption activities. Participate in these worthy discussions as we explore the challenges and the breakthroughs surrounding our food chains and environment.

Session 5: New Space
1550 - 1650
1650 - 1750
1750 - 1830
Space technologies aid our understanding of climate cycles, drive communication and produce research that have much broader applications to life on Earth. Advancements in new materials, miniaturisation and computational power are bringing space closer to our daily lives than we realise, while private capital and entrepreneurial interest are driving innovations at a rapid pace. How do we seize the opportunities that come with the dawn of a new industry-driven space race?
