ABOUT THE IDEAS FOR A BETTER WORLD FORUM

The SIF seeks to connect and promote understanding between Singaporeans and global thought-leaders and opinion-shapers, by inviting them to Singapore to share their ideas for a better world, with a public audience.

This platform also allows global thought-leaders to engage in dialogue with the larger Singapore community on issues ranging from health, education, environment, the arts and culture, as well as livelihood and business. In facilitating the discussions, SIF hopes to encourage more interest in these areas and generate a lively discourse where ideas can effect positive change and enrich lives for a better world.

Past keynote speakers include Dr Jane Goodall, primatologist and conservationist and also UN Messenger of Peace, Mr John Elkington, founding partner and Executive Chairman of Volans, Dr Thorkil Sonne, founder of Specialisterne, as well as other outstanding social innovators from the Ashoka Fellowship.
