The overexploitation of natural resources required to achieve economic growth and development has had a negative impact on the environment while also causing these resources to become scarcer and costlier. Circular economy offers new ways to create a more sustainable economic growth model while digitalisation continues to power optimisation of resources used within industries.

The Lecture aims to expound on the clear connection within these two trends, exploring digitalisation as an enabler to circular economy hence boosting the full potential of circular businesses and industries for a sustainable and resilience future. The Lecture features key issues from both Singapore and international perspectives, a not-to-be-missed Lecture for both the engineering and non-engineering communities.
