ABOUT THE
9th SRBF®

Inaugurated in 2015, the Singapore Regional Business Forum (SRBF®) – SBF’s annual signature event – is a high-profile, inclusive, and constructive platform for top business leaders, government officials, thought leaders, and policymakers to explore policy development, economic vision, and business and investment-related opportunities in the region.

The upcoming 9th edition will be held in Bangkok, Thailand for the first time, marking a significant milestone as it coincides with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Thailand. This momentous occasion underscores the enduring and multi-faceted bilateral ties between the two nations — spanning trade, investment, and cultural exchange.

Notably, the Forum has also been officially designated as one of the SG60 Signature events to commemorate Singapore’s 60th year of independence.
