The event will gather leaders across government, technology, mobility and energy to explore solutions for the transition towards a lower-carbon future
Shell will commemorate its 135 years of operations in Singapore on Friday, October 9, with the Powering Progress Together Forum at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre. The event aims to gather leaders from government, technology, mobility, and energy sectors to discuss strategies for energy resilience, economic competitiveness, and the shift towards a lower-carbon future. Dr. Tan See Leng, the minister for energy, trade, and industry (energy and industry), will kick off the forum with a keynote address.
The forum will commence with a strategic dialogue between Shell's president of trading and supply, Andrew Smith, and Chen Huifen, editor of The Business Times. They will delve into global energy market dynamics, supply chain resilience, and sustainable economic growth.
Subsequently, a panel discussion will feature Microsoft Asia's chief technology officer, Mark Souza, Keppel Data Centres' CEO, Wong Wai Meng, and Shell Companies in Singapore's chairman, Aw Kah Peng. They will explore how artificial intelligence, electrification, and digital infrastructure are revolutionizing regional energy systems and industrial operations.
The event will conclude by highlighting Shell's partnership with Formula 1 (F1) team Scuderia Ferrari HP. This segment will provide insights into high-performance technology's role in powering the future. The forum comes as a precursor to this week's F1 Singapore Grand Prix, scheduled to take place from October 9 to 11, with the sprint race slated for Saturday.
