Join us at the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Singapore 2023 on February 25th, 2023 the Meeting Point (73B Ayer Rajah Crescent, Singapore 139966), hosted by Leave a Nest Singapore. We are proud to present the panelists for the first session, titled "Hub To Hub Connection Bring X to Singapore".
In this session, we will discuss how Singapore can transform from a centralized Hub to a network of hubs to complement different players to build stronger Hubs here in Singapore. Until now each entity has worked hard to build a centralized Hub to gather all that is needed in one place. When the network and infrastructure was not complete, this was the best way to create a Hub. As the community is becoming more mature, we will need to shift the way of defining a hub. Hub is no longer a place where everything is congregated in one place. What does it take for each player to bring in to create true Hub to Hub connection and what will this allow us to do for Singapore will be the focus of the panel discussion.
