Who Will Win the Scramble for Global Talent?

Friday, October 3, 2025
10:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Four Seasons Hotel Singapore - Ballroom

The global race for talent is intensifying. While this scramble is most visible among high-tech and advanced AI talent, there is also a global hunt for talent that is also more agile and cost-efficient. Countries around the world are rolling out open immigration and investment policies to attract the talent that will drive innovation and growth. Meanwhile, AI and advanced robotics are also disrupting workforces, from logistics to health care. This session explores the intersection of talent and technology: what talent will be needed to drive AI and high-tech industries? What jobs will become obsolete as automation and robotic abilities improve? How might governments respond to ensure local workforces remain employed, productive, and competitive?
