Launched by the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) in 2013, the World Engineers Summit (WES) has established itself as a premier global platform for engineers, scientists, policymakers, innovators, academics, and industry leaders. The summit fosters the exchange of ideas, drives collaborations, and champions innovative solutions to address pressing global challenges, including climate change and sustainable urban development.

Themed “Shaping Tomorrow: Engineering Smart Sustainable Cities,” WES 2025 will explore how engineering innovations can propel the development of intelligent, resilient, and eco-friendly urban environments. With a strong focus on advancing global sustainability targets, mitigating climate change, and enhancing climate resilience, the summit will highlight the integration of cutting-edge technologies, sustainable infrastructure, and forward-thinking policies to shape the cities of the future.

Taking place at a critical juncture as the climate crisis intensifies, WES 2025 aligns with Singapore’s commitment to accelerating sustainability efforts, marked by its submission of updated emission reduction targets to the United Nations on 10 February 2025. Engineers play a pivotal role in this journey, deploying low-carbon solutions across key sectors such as power, industry, transport, buildings, households, and waste management.

Join us at WES 2025 to shape the future of sustainable urban living through engineering excellence and innovation.
