Wisenet Asia at the China-Singapore Industry-Education Integration Conference in Chongqing

Wisenet Asia participated in the recent China-Singapore Industry-Education Integration Conference on Connectivity, held from November 10–11, 2024, in Chongqing, China. Hosted by the Chongqing Project Management Bureau (重庆市中新示范项目管理局), this conference brought together leaders from both countries’ educational and business sectors to discuss innovative ways to bridge the gap between industry needs and academic talent development.

Forging New Paths in Talent Development
At the summit, Wisenet Asia’s Director, Wesley Hui, presented on the critical role of industry-education integration in shaping future talent. His presentation, titled “Industry-Education Integration: WiseNet Asia’s Role in Shaping Future Talent,” highlighted how Wisenet Asia supports progressive talent development that aligns with the evolving demands of modern enterprises.


“With rapid technological advancements and shifting industry needs, it’s crucial to bridge academia with real-world applications,” Mr. Hui noted. “Wisenet Asia is committed to facilitating this integration by fostering partnerships that equip students with industry-relevant skills, preparing them to succeed in a competitive, global workforce.”

Strengthening China-Singapore Collaboration in Education
The summit unveiled the China-Singapore Industry-Education Integration Plan, aiming to deepen collaboration between institutions in Chongqing and Singapore. This strategic plan encourages universities and companies from both regions to work together in developing training models that align with enterprise needs, particularly within industries facing skill shortages or rapidly evolving requirements.

This initiative is part of the broader China-Singapore (Chongqing) Connectivity Initiative, which aims to enhance mutual cooperation across sectors like finance, logistics, and information technology, with a strong focus on human capital development.

Advancing On-Site Learning and Real-World Exposure
In addition to the presentations, summit participants, including Wisenet Asia, were invited to a field visit to Chongqing’s Yongchuan District, where they observed a practical example of industry-education integration in action. This visit showcased how educational institutions and local enterprises are jointly developing programs that provide hands-on learning experiences for students, making education more applicable to real-world business contexts.

WiseNet Asia’s Ongoing Commitment
Wisenet Asia’s participation in this summit underscores its ongoing commitment to fostering cross-border collaboration in talent development. The company remains dedicated to working with both academia and industry to create a sustainable, talent-driven ecosystem that meets the demands of today’s economy.
