Singapore Business Forum @ SIWW Spotlight 2025
Catalysing Growth Through Local & Regional Partnerships in the Water Industry

🗓️ 23 June 2025, Monday | 🕞 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM

📍 Singapore EXPO Meeting Rooms, Room 5 & 10 

In an era defined by accelerating climate impacts, urbanisation, and rising water demands, the Singapore Water Association (SWA) is committed and endeavours to building a more resilient, sustainable and innovative Singapore water sector. At the same time, SWA recognises the need for regional collaboration in South East Asia (SEA) and is committed to facilitate and support platforms for regional and crucial collaborations amongst its water associations. 

Co-located with SIWW Spotlight 2025 (https://www.siww.com.sg/spotlight-2025) and the 41st IAHR World Congress (https://2025.iahr.org/), this special edition of the Singapore Business Forum aims to bring together policy makers, business leaders and experts to share strategic national initiatives and regional collaboration opportunities aimed at strengthening the foundations of Singapore's water industry. It will showcase how the sector can deepen local capabilities, forge strong Southeast Asian partnerships, and work together to tap into the region's expanding water market.

Through curated sharings from the Singapore Business Federation, Enterprise Singapore, UOB and PUB Singapore as well as that of SEA’s water industry and water associations’ leaders, the Forum will explore how Singapore companies can not only grow and internationalise, but also future-proof their operations, innovate sustainably, and lead regional water solutions for a changing world.
