About WES 2019

In August 2019, Singapore will host the World Engineers Summit 2019 – Engineering Future Cities – Harnessing and Managing Technologies to Improve Quality of Life. The fourth biennial conference will continue to champion engineering-led discussions on sustainable urban development harnessing and managing today modern world technologies to improve quality of life, to deliver depth and breadth to conference delegates.

Rapid urbanisation is elevating energy demand to unprecedented levels, with cities accounting for about three-quarters of the world’s energy consumption. The ability of cities to break away from energy-and carbon-intensive development and move towards high energy efficiency and sustainable practices will be a significant factor in shaping global economic security and climate resilience.

Organised by The Institution of Engineers Singapore, WES 2019 will be a focal point for exchange between leading global experts of the latest progress in urban energy systems and policy options in the areas of transport, building, industry, environment, power generation and energy storage. It will present the latest research findings and engineering innovations in support of a low carbon future and sustainable development. It will also provide the platform for engineers to turn talk into action. We want to invite you to leverage on WES 2019 to set your organisation apart as a leading sustainability advocate. Having established itself as one of the most significant global conferences focusing on driving sustainability through engineering, this WES conference will once again reach out to engineers and scientists from multiple disciplines, energy specialists, urban planning specialists, environmental and water specialists, academic, financiers, manufacturers, policy makers, researchers and business leaders from diverse industries around the world.
