LSB Study Trip to Singapore 2023

Luxembourg School of Business’s recent study trip to Singapore was an enriching experience filled with valuable insights, innovative ideas, and inspiring encounters! We explored the realms of economic transformation, innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Our 4-day journey started with a session on Singapore’s extraordinary metamorphosis from a trading post to a global economic powerhouse, guided by Professor Dr. @Mato Njavro.

We further explored the concept of “Network States” with Mr. @Chor Pharn Lee, Principal Foresight Analyst at the Centre for Strategic Futures at the Prime Minister’s Office of Singapore and witnessed how real-time decision-making, inclusivity, and foresight can reshape governance using technology on a global scale.

During the visit to Gojek, a super-app that has revolutionized how people in Southeast Asia live their daily lives, Singapore GM @Lien Choong Luen shared his insights on leadership and innovation. The group visited @Sembcorp, a leading renewables player and an established industrial and urban solutions provider in Asia and learned more about their sustainability efforts from Dr. @Yap Kwong Weng.

Our group was honored to meet one of the foremost public intellectuals in Asia, the founding dean of the LKY School of Public Policy, Prof. @Kishore Mahbubani and engage with him in meaningful discussion on the current geopolitical trends.

Our trip ended with the visit to H.E. Ms. Michelle Liem, Honorary Consul of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in Singapore where the group learned more about the real-estate market in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Our students also met Mr. Mr. Neo Kian Hong, former Chief of Defence Force of Singapore.

What an amazing trip!
