Demographic shifts and societal ageing are challenges shared across Europe and Asia, with massive implications for the industrial sector in particular. Future-proofing skills, winning talent and harnessing technologies will be key to the future international competitiveness of nations and individual businesses alike. How can we turn demographic change from a challenge into an opportunity? What might Europe learn from emerging approaches in Singapore, and vice versa? Engage in dynamic discussions about strategies to cultivate vibrant industrial sectors and uphold leadership roles in international trade amidst demographic shifts.

ABOUT THE ST. GALLEN SYMPOSIUM
The St. Gallen Symposium is the world’s leading initiative for intergenerational debates on economic, political and social developments. The symposium takes place annually in May at the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland.
The St. Gallen Symposium is annually organised by the International Students’ Committee (ISC), an independent student initiative at the University of St.Gallen. For ten months, a team of approximately 30 students voluntarily engages in the challenging task of organising an outstanding St. Gallen Symposium. During the symposium week, the ISC Team is supported by about 450 student volunteers. Three members of last year’s team are taking up the role of Head of the Organising Committee.
