The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and the Milken Institute have announced a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to host the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore from 2026 to 2028. This agreement aims to enhance collaboration and create a world-class platform for global leaders to discuss critical regional issues.
Since its inception in 2014, the Milken Institute Asia Summit has become a prestigious event attracting business leaders, government officials, and investors worldwide. The summit, organised by the Milken Institute’s Asia headquarters in Singapore, addresses pressing challenges and proposes actionable solutions.
This year’s summit will take place on 13 October, coinciding with Singapore’s Formula One race week. This timing underscores Singapore’s reputation as a hub for high-impact business discussions and world-class entertainment. Melissa Ow, Chief Executive of STB, stated, “We value our strong partnership with Milken Institute, and their decision to anchor their prestigious summit in Singapore further cements our position as a premier destination for meaningful dialogue and collaboration.”
The partnership between STB and the Milken Institute has been robust since the summit’s first edition in Singapore. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the summit successfully transitioned to a hybrid format, earning the Outstanding Event Organiser award at the 2021 Singapore Tourism Awards.
Richard Ditizio, CEO of the Milken Institute, expressed pride in the ongoing partnership, stating, “I am proud to redouble our commitment to Singapore by anchoring our signature Asia Summit here for the next three years.”
The MoU signifies a continued commitment to fostering dialogue and innovation in Singapore, reinforcing its status as a leading destination for global business events.
