Inaugurated in 2017, the Future Economy Conference (FEC) is SBF’s annual strategic platform for government-to-business engagement, convening policymakers, industry leaders, and solution partners to chart the course for a future-ready Singapore economy. FEC brings together key decision makers from both the public and private sectors to examine national priorities, enterprise transformation, and actionable pathways for business adoption. The vision: to help Singapore’s business community tackle emerging challenges, seize new opportunities, and accelerate transformation at scale—both locally and across the region.
Organised by SBF and supported by leading partners from both the public and private sectors, FEC is a premium conference featuring high-level speakers from Singapore and beyond. Distinguished guests—including senior government officials, business leaders, and ecosystem partners—offer insights and commitments that drive dynamic growth and resilience for Singapore’s economy.
In 2026, FEC 2026 is expected to convene national and regional leaders to chart a united course through today’s volatile and complex global landscape. The conference rallies stakeholders to deepen public-private collaboration, spark innovation, and deliver real-world impact for enterprises of all sizes.
