What does it take for manufacturers to move past AI pilots and create real business impact? Which technologies are already proving their worth on the factory floor? And how can companies in Singapore benefit from Germany's industrial AI expertise?
We invite you to the SGC Forum: Riding the Wave – Best Practices to Navigate Global Shifts: Industrial AI for Competitiveness.
Organised by the Singaporean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (SGC), supported by its Digitalisation & Innovation Committee together with the SGC Mittelstand (SME) and Regional Markets Committee, this forum will bring together leaders from manufacturing, technology, and industrial AI to exchange insights on strengthening competitiveness.
We are honoured to welcome Mr Kiat How Tan, Senior Minister of State at Singapore's Ministry of Digital Development and Information, as well as Dr. Thai Lai Pham, President & CEO of Siemens ASEAN, as keynote speakers. The SGC forum will also feature a panel dialogue on how industrial AI is defining the future of manufacturing competitiveness.
Highlights include:
- Forward-looking perspectives on where industrial AI is headed
- Practical use cases from the industry and lessons from industry practitioners
- A comparative exchange of views among German and Singaporean leadership
- Dedicated networking time with peers and decision-makers over lunch
