Thank you to H.E. Kara Owen, British High Commissioner to Singapore for her opening remarks during the session.
Fireside Chat Synopsis: "Sustainability and digitalisation are major forces influencing our people and planet. With pedigree across multiple technology sub-sectors, UK’s smart cities expertise enables sustainable and social outcomes globally, including through the Future Cities programme and in the context of net zero and industrial decarbonisation. A nexus of public, private and academia is needed to navigate these complex challenges and make real impact."
