Shape the World Summit 2019 “Designing a More Equitable Economic System” to Take Place in Singapore This June

Singapore, Singapore, March 10, 2019 –(PR.com)– The clarion call from the World Economic Forum, APEC to Pope Francis is: there is an urgent need to reshape the socio and economic rules to enable participation and sustainability. Failure to do so will upend the stable global order that has sustained peaceful development, co-existence since the end of the Cold War and usher in a period of narrow interests and extremism.

Shape the World Summit 2019 will convene over 300 diverse stakeholders at the National Design Centre from 20-21st June in Singapore. From politicians, civil service, business leaders, religious, education, domain experts, victims of economic disruption, youth. Participants will come from the US, Italy, Brazil, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, in total about 16 countries will be represented. With the support of Design Singapore Council, the lead national agency of the Singapore Government for Design, the summit will use design thinking approach to gather the thoughts of different stakeholders to imagine new and inclusive ideas on how they can each contribute to shaping a more equitable economy. This will result in a book which will be titled: Imagine a World.

The two-day summit is jointly organized by Consulus and CPG Consultants and it will take place at the National Design Centre.

�Increasingly global corporations have become more profit-focused with minimal regard for socio-economic benefits to the larger audience. Concepts of social responsibility and sustainability have become buzz words for more cosmetic reasons than an organizational commitment to mankind and the environment. In this context, the need for organizations to band together to shape a better world has become even more mandatory. The purpose of our Shape the World Summit is to fill that void in this world. By bringing all the like-minded corporate leaders together in unity, we can shape a better world for our current and future generations,” said Shiraz Latiff, Chairman for Consulus Global Network.

“Prof. Schwab of the World Economic Forum has called for new ways to shape an inclusive future. Design thinking as a method that is human-centered, multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholders led can play a unifying role to imagine new ways to shape a more equitable economic model. We have gathered leaders from business, academia, government and non-profit organizations from around the world for a creative discourse on this issue,” Lawrence Chong, Group CEO at Consulus Global Network, said.

Tickets will be on sale from 11th March.
