Asia is facing a highly dynamic period in modern times, grappling with challenges brought on by rapidly ageing populations, technological disruption, climate change, and political uncertainty in the U.S. and Europe.

The NUSMed International Council (NIC) is proud to gather leading figures from the fields of medical research, government, policy, business, finance, energy, and technology for its inaugural members’ meeting – Future Ready Asia. From 20 - 22 April 2017, NIC members will be examining these pressing challenges, and exchanging ideas over Asia’s role and strategy within the global context through a series of plenary lectures and moderated panel discussions. Chaired by former U.S. Ambassador to Singapore, Mr Frank Lavin, the Conference features prominent speakers such as Dr Beh Swan Gin, Chairman of the Singapore Economic Development Board; Mr Jostein Eikeland, Executive Chairman of global energy storage enterprise, Alevo; Dr Brian K.
