Singapore has served as a strategic hub of immigration in Asia over the past two centuries since its founding as an entrepot in 1819. It is not only due to its geographic location at the crossroads between the East and West, but also to its vibrant social and business organizations that have provided effective institutional links both within Southeast Asia and between the region and China as well as other countries in Asia. This has, in turn, contributed to the making of Singapore as a key hub and corridor in Asia.

The 2-day conference will feature speakers from worldwide to discuss Singapore’s role as a corridor in Asia for the past, the present, and the future, especially in terms of regionalism and the world. It will also explore present mobilities and future issues pertaining to regional and global mobilities and the shaping of Singapore’s as well as Asia’s future.
