The virtual “Future of Work Colloquium” during South Africa Focus Week will explore innovation, economic adaptation, and future skills development in Singapore and South Africa.
The virtual “Future of Work Colloquium,” held as part of South Africa Focus Week in Singapore, will explore how innovation can enable businesses to stay competitive and adapt to evolving economic landscapes. Taking place on 25 September 2024, the colloquium will bring together business leaders, industry experts, and policymakers to discuss the importance of investing in new products, technology, and market expansion. These efforts aim to boost business efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance profitability, especially in today’s fast-changing economic environment.
A key highlight of the colloquium will be its focus on how both South Africa and Singapore can equip young people with the skills and knowledge necessary for the future of work. Panelists will emphasize the importance of agility and adaptability in navigating the global workforce, while also addressing how innovation can help achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to decent work and economic growth. Discussions will also cover emerging employment pathways, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
The event will provide in-depth insights into the potential of three significant economic sectors—the green economy, the care economy, and the creative economy. Attendees will learn about how these sectors are reshaping the future of work and how young people can leverage opportunities within them to drive impactful systems change across both nations.
