SUMMARY:[Closed-door] CompCom Roundtable | Enhancing Singapore’s Global Competitiveness – Session 2
DESCRIPTION:The closed-door corporate roundtable is part of a four-part series convened by the SIIA to examine Singapore’s global competitiveness amid geopolitical uncertainty\, technological disruption\, and evolving global investment patterns. This series brings together senior leaders from multinational companies with regional and global influence to gather forward-looking insights that will inform SIIA’s policy-relevant analysis supporting ongoing deliberations by the Economic Strategy Review (ESR) Committee on Global Competitiveness.     \nIn this second session\, Prof. Simon Tay\, Chairman of the SIIA\, will provide a strategic framing analysis and moderate a candid discussion under the Chatham House Rule. The dialogue will focus on how multinational firms’ headquarters view Singapore’s competitiveness in an AI-driven\, slower-growth environment\, and how deeper engagement with ASEAN\, cost considerations\, and collaboration with neighbouring economies can strengthen Singapore’s role as a trusted and effective regional hub.

SUMMARY:SIIA Talk | Beyond the Storms – Climate Adaptation and Resilience in ASEAN Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, several ASEAN countries experienced severe tropical storms and monsoon floods\, affecting millions of people and straining response capacity. Aside from the humanitarian impact\, these weather events illustrate that the region’s agricultural systems remain vulnerable to shocks. The hit to supply chains and manufacturing from the 2025 storms was relatively manageable\, but damage to crops and delays in harvesting have been more significant with losses reaching billions of US dollars across the region. With climate change bringing more frequent and potentially more severe extreme weather events\, it is increasingly urgent to ensure that ASEAN’s agricultural producers are both resilient and productive\, in order to meet both domestic nutritional needs and regional trade for economic growth. This talk at the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) will explore how countries are strengthening the resilience of food and agricultural commodity systems\, as well as exploring longer term climate adaptation and productivity goals.   \n\nWhat issues have the events of 2025 exposed\, such as inefficiencies and misallocation in flood control\, or environmental violations that have worsened the impact of landslides?\n\n\nWhat infrastructure\, capacity\, and financing does the agricultural sector need to build resilience against extreme weather events and enhance long term climate adaptation?\n\n\nWhat policy and governance changes are underway in ASEAN countries that will impact land management? What does this mean for supply chains and financiers in the sector?\n\nSpeakers:\nDr Sonny Domingo\, Senior Research Fellow\, Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS)  \nMr Tomi Haryadi\, Director\, Food\, Land\, and Water Programme\, World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia \nModerator: Mr Simon Tay\, Chairman\, Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) \nProgramme \n \nRegistration Form \nThank you for your interest in our event. Registration is now closed. Should you have any queries\, please reach out to events@siiaonline.org.

SUMMARY:SIIA Talk | US-Israel-Iran: Implications for Geopolitics\, International Law\, and the Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:Attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran have prompted retaliatory strikes across the Middle East\, hitting Israel and other countries in the region. Critics have argued that the operation is both illegal under US law without congressional approval and a violation of international law. Spillover effects are already emerging\, with oil prices rising and Iran attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz\, a waterway that handles nearly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil trade. This dialogue jointly organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) and the Middle East Institute (MEI) will examine the geopolitical\, legal\, and economic questions arising from the crisis.  \n\nWhat are the political implications of the conflict\, not just for the Middle East\, but for the rest of the world including Southeast Asia and Singapore? \nDoes this action by the US and Israel mean an upending of the basic tenets of international law? What does this mean for countries like Singapore? \nWhat impact\, both immediate and in the medium to long-term\, could this have on trade with the Middle East and for businesses in general? \n\nSpeakers:\nMs. Angela Mancini\, Partner\, Head of Geopolitical Risk Analysis – APAC\, Control Risks\nProf. Joseph Liow\, Chairman\, Middle East Institute (MEI)\, National University of Singapore (NUS)\nMr. Simon Tay\, Chairman\, Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA)  \nModerator: Ms. Michelle Teo\, Executive Director\, Middle East Institute (MEI)\, National University of Singapore (NUS) \nProgramme: \n \nRegistration Form\n \nThank you for your interest in our event.

SUMMARY:13th Singapore Dialogue on Sustainable World Resources (SWR) - Resilient Commodities: Innovation and New Markets
DESCRIPTION:ASEAN’s commodity producers stand at a pivotal moment. Global trade flows are shifting\, affected by Sino-American tensions. Nationalist and protectionist policies are changing how certain commodities are being traded. ASEAN economies are adjusting to these shifts and are increasingly looking to explore new markets beyond the United States\, European Union\, and even India and China\, trading more within ASEAN and strengthening South-South trade. Producers in ASEAN are also aiming to move up the value chain\, turning from primary exports of raw materials to high-value products such as sustainable fuels\, while exploring avenues to turn waste to energy and contribute to climate resilience. Policymakers and businesses will need to consider what the future of commodities production and trade will look like\, and how these evolving dynamics will affect sustainability in the region. \nWhile commodities exports are important for ASEAN economies\, food production is also crucial\, especially as countries are increasingly paying attention to food resilience and social concerns. For ASEAN\, sustainability is about more than conserving ecosystems. Sustainability is also about delivering affordable prices and securing livelihoods\, while ensuring that agricultural systems are resilient in the face of climate change. \nAs a hub for business\, innovation\, and finance\, Singapore has an important role in working together with its neighbours in ASEAN and the region’s private sector in navigating this dual future — staying competitive in global markets while advancing sustainable and resilient outcomes at home. The 13th Singapore Dialogue on Sustainable World Resources (SWR) will bring together policymakers\, business leaders\, and experts to discuss the challenges facing the region’s agricultural commodities and food industries\, while exploring opportunities for sustainable business and investment. \nProgramme \nPlease visit our website for more information on the programme and speakers lineup. \nRegistration Form \nPlease register for the event here.
