Welcome Message
Professor Lam Khin Yong
Vice President (Industry)
Nanyang Technological University
In today’s interconnected world, innovation thrives when people, ideas, and industries come together. Universities and industries each bring unique strengths, ranging from cutting-edge research to practical expertise, but it is through collaboration and multi-party partnerships that knowledge is translated into meaningful solutions. At Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU), we recognize the vital role of global networks in advancing knowledge, turning research into real-world impact, and preparing talent for tomorrow’s challenges.
Events like the Global Industry Career Connect 2025 are particularly valuable as they connect countries, industries, and academia, creating a platform to exchange ideas, spark collaborations, and shape the leaders and innovators of the future. By nurturing these connections, we create opportunities for a future of shared progress and opportunity – one where collaboration across borders unlocks new possibilities for industries, communities, and the next generation of leaders.
From the Organizing Chair
“This event is more than just a career fair. It is a dynamic platform where talent meets opportunity, where industry connects with innovation, and where global collaboration takes meaningful shape. At NTU’s Centre for Cross Economy, we believe that the future of sustainability and technological progress lies in our ability to break down silos — between disciplines, between institutions, and between nations.
By bringing together leading academic institutions, forward-thinking companies, and aspiring talents from both Korea and Singapore, this event serves as a catalyst for transformational partnerships. Whether you are here to recruit, to explore new ideas, or to forge lasting relationships, we invite you to be part of a larger movement — one that advances the frontiers of science, industry, and human capital for a better future.”
