On Oct 8, IES had the privilege of hosting a highly engaging, closed-door Ministerial Dialogue with Minister Chee Hong Tat, jointly organised by the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) and the Association of Consulting Engineers Singapore (ACES).

With nearly 100 industry leaders and professionals in attendance, the energy in the room was exceptional! Minister Chee had a good engagement with participants, sharing candid insights and listening to the ground on the critical issues shaping the future of our profession.

Our wide-ranging discussions centred on three core themes:
🔹 Digitalisation & AI: Exploring how emerging technologies are fundamentally transforming the engineering landscape and driving innovation across the Built Environment.
🔹 Championing Talent: Strategic approaches to attracting, developing, and retaining top talent in the engineering sector—with a strong emphasis on inspiring and empowering the next generation of young engineers to build rewarding careers.
