This MoU further deepens collaborations and strengthens synergies between the two organisations in presenting a world-class platform where thought leaders and global investors can discuss and debate pertinent issues affecting the region.

Since its launch in 2014, the Milken Institute Asia Summit has established itself as an exclusive, world-class event that gathers business leaders, senior government officials, high-level finance executives, institutional investors, and philanthropists from around the world to address critical challenges and propose actionable solutions.

This strategic alignment reflects the strong appeal ofSingapore'sbusiness events ecosystem, bringing together global leaders and decision-makers for meaningful exchange through conference sessions, private roundtables, and networking events.

STB and the Milken Institute'sAsiaheadquarters have maintained a long-standing relationship through robust and mutually beneficial engagements since the first Milken Institute Asia Summit was held inSingaporein 2014.

This achievement was recognised with the'Outstanding Event Organiser'award at the 2021 Singapore Tourism Awards.
