Launched in 2013, the biennial World Engineers Summit (WES) is a premier platform for engineering-centric discussions to advance the world towards a resilient, sustainable future.

From 8 to 10 November 2023, The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) will host WES 2023 in Singapore. Themed ‘Engineering for a Sustainable Future’, the sixth WES will facilitate the timely exchange of knowledge, ideas and solutions amongst engineers to support the world’s net-zero transition.

Joining the engineering community will be thought leaders, policy-makers, specialists, business leaders and academics from across the globe. Together, they will share expert opinions and solutions to address global issues arising from climate change and carbon-intensive urban development.

WES 2023 is a key event in 2023 for the IES Green Plan 2030, unveiled in January 2023 to support Singapore’s sustainability journey.

The summit will feature keynote addresses from prominent experts and leaders as well as discussions across six curated tracks:

• Sustainability through Technology
• Building a Resilient Future against Climate Change
• Future of Industry Sustainability
• Smart and Sustainable Urban Mobility
• A Greener and Renewable Built Environment
• Pedagogy and Education Technology in Engineering Education

Join us at WES 2023 to be part of a collective effort to build a greener and brighter future through engineering.
