The Singapore Forum, also known as Singapore Economic Forum (SEF), was re-establishedthe first such forums were organized by the Temasek Foundation & held in 2015 and 2016 with a foreign policy, inter-governmental focus – cf. Walter Sim: ‘Temasek Launches S. Rajaratnam Endowment to Strengthen International Ties’, Straits Times, 21 October 2014 as an Asia Pacific plus G12 nations biannual event held in Singapore – typically in the third week of March (date may vary in accordance with Chinese new year and Ramadan holidays).
The forum brings together policymakers, academics, and S&P Global 100 executives for up to three days to discuss financial, geo-economic, and social issues that define the "Asian Century": notably the growing convergence of economic and social growth dynamics in light of the Sustainable Development Goals and the way long-term asset owners such as pension funds and sovereign wealth institutions invest in the region — including listed equity, private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure assets.
The event is organized by the APAC Leadership Council, an Anglo-Singaporean think tank, in association with global, regional and national industry groups, asset owner associations, policy research centres, and family offices.M.
