IES UPDATE IES 12 th CTO Forum generates new innovative ideas Proudly organised by IES and National University of Singapore (NUS), the 12 th CTO Forum was eagerly anticipated by the CTOs who were in attendance. Nearly 20 specially invited CTO members attended the Forum, which was held on 28 January 2013, at the National Library Board building. The speaker for the evening was Dr Yves Pigneur from NUS, who presented the topic ‘Business Model Innovation and Design’. The presentation engendered discussion among the CTOs regarding the different segments of business innovations. A free fl owing Q&A session followed, where Dr Pigneur fi elded questions from the business leaders. The presentation was then followed by a networking dinner, where the attendees mingled and interacted with each other. Dr Yves Pigneur delivered his presentation on ‘Business Model Innovation and Design’ at the 12 th CTO Forum.

IES warmly welcomed a delegation from the China Association for Science & Technology (CAST) to its premises on 25 January 2013 as part of a technical visit and to promote closer bilateral relationship between the two associations. The delegation was led by Mr Shen Aimin, Executive Secretary of CAST. The CAST representatives were received by IES President Prof Chou Siaw Kiang, IES Vice President Er. Ong See Ho, IES Past Presidents Er. Tan Seng Chuan and Er. Dr Lock Kai Sang, IES CEO Ms Angie Ng and Member of WES 2013 Ambassadorial Committee, Er. Chong Chin Hin. Both sides gave an update on their organisations’ respective activities for 2012. CAST revealed that it is actively looking at raising the quality of engineering education in China. It is also in the process of applying for accreditation under the Washington Accord. IES also informed CAST of its new annex building plans and the organisation of the inaugural World Engineers’ Summit (WES) in September this year. Prof Chou and the WES Steering Committee Chairman, Er. Tan Seng Chuan, extended an invitation to CAST to take part in the event. The meeting ended with an exchange of tokens between the two organisations. IES wishes to extend its thanks to all who have donated or pledged an amount to the IES Building Redevelopment fund thus far. The construction of the new IES Annex Building is well underway after the ground breaking last December. The state-of-the-art building will be an iconic showpiece of engineering effort that will feature advanced green and sustainable features. We are still seeking donations and pledges from our members and the engineering fraternity to realize this new building as the ‘Home of Engineers’. For those who are keen to donate/pledge, please email Siew Keow at siewkeow@iesnet.org.sg. For those who have already pledged their donation, we would appreciate it if you could mail your cheque to IES as soon as possible so as to help us get to our targeted goal. Please make a crossed cheque payable to “IES Building Fund” and indicate your name/company name behind the cheque. If you wish to help out in another way, we also have 2013 IES table calendars on sale for $10, the proceeds of which will go towards the Fund as well. Your kind support is greatly appreciated.
