Future of Flying Cars and Aerospace Technology

STEM applications are becoming increasingly relevant and critical in supporting the growth of the Singapore economy. In a tech-driven environment where companies emerge and evolve rapidly, it is important that our youths are prepared for a future career relating to STEM, Innovation and Entrepreneurship ("SIE") to be able to adapt and thrive in the everchanging landscape.

ASPIRE Week is a week-long event aimed at promoting Aerospace themed SIE to students through engaging exchanges and dialogue. Under the theme "Future of Flying Cars and Aerospace Technology", the event will feature subject matter experts who will look at and discuss topics relating to aerial mobility and the aerospace industry from multiple angles.

This event is jointly brought to you by Science Centre Singapore, Singapore Institute of Technology, Association of Aerospace Industries (Singapore) and Neo Aeronautics.
