PM Lee to visit the US for APEC summit

During his visit, Lee will also launch Enterprise Singapore’s San Francisco Overseas Centre.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will make a working visit to San Francisco, California, United States (US) from 13 to 18 November 2023.

He will attend the 30th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Meeting (AELM) at the invitation of US President Joe Biden.

The theme for the APEC summit this year is “Creating a Resilient and Sustainable Future for All.”

Leaders will discuss ways to strengthen trade, increase supply chain resilience, tackle climate change and ensure an equitable and inclusive future.

PM Lee will also hold bilateral meetings with other APEC Leaders on the sidelines of the AELM.

He will also meet with the governor of California Gavin Newsom and other business leaders from prominent US companies.

In addition, PM Lee will launch Enterprise Singapore’s San Francisco Overseas Centre and meet Singaporeans residing in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
