The FutureChina Global Forum has established itself as a major event for business executives and personalities with an interest in China. The “Belt and Road” initiative unveiled in 2013 by President Xi Jinping has received worldwide attention. Together with the strengthening and internationalisation of the Chinese Yuan, one cannot ignore the rise of China and needs to understand its impact on the region and the world.

The Singapore Regional Business Forum (SRBF®) was created by Singapore Business Federation in 2015. It is a platform that brings together top business leaders and senior government officials to discuss policy planning, economic vision, business and investment-related opportunities in the region.

In line with Singapore’s assumption of the ASEAN chairmanship in 2018, the FCGF & SRBF 2018 is a special edition Forum that is organised in conjunction with the ASEAN Economic Ministers Meeting (AEM).

The Forum theme, “Basis for Future Prosperity and Innovation”, is in line with the guiding themes of “Innovation” and “Resilience”, which ASEAN has identified as priorities for the region.
