The Future of X is a series of events aiming to bring some of the most successful entrepreneurs with unique insights regarding their operating field closer to the Oxford and Cambridge Society members. Set in a more casual atmosphere, the entrepreneurs can discuss the future of their field in a way that is rarely seen elsewhere. These events are sure to be entertaining and stimulate further thought about what the consequences of the developments are for other fields. Additionally, a Q&A as well as a networking session after the main presentation allow some individual queries regarding the future of X to be answered.

The Oxbridge Entrepreneurship Series on the “Future of X”

Posted on November 8, 2018

The Oxbridge Society of Singapore is launching a series of talks on the “Future of X”. Bringing together local entrepreneurs who are helping shape the future of subjects that are of broad interest, the talks aim both to inform and to stimulate lively debate. The first talk in the series is on “The Future of Food” given by Andrew Kwan who is the Group Managing Director of Commonwealth Capital Group of companies, which has investments across the food vertical including barramundi fish farming, cold chain logistics, central kitchen, butchery, bakery and ice cream production.

The second talk in the series is planned for February 2019 and will be on “The Future on Love”.

Ideas for subsequent talks include “The Future of Money”, “The Future of Shipping” as well as “The Future of Cars”.
