Programme

A full spectrum of dialogue

One week in Singapore, in three strands — the Forum, the Gala Dinner and the Portrait Exhibition.

The flagship two-day summit programme. Nobel Laureates, AI pioneers, leading academics, tech executives and global investors, in high-level discussion around AI for Science, scientific discovery, and the interplay between intelligence, industry and long-term capital.

Each day is co-hosted with one of Singapore's leading universities — Day One with Nanyang Technological University, Day Two with Singapore Management University.

Five Frontiers

The Themes

The frontier conversations shaping the next era of science, intelligence and capital.

01

AI for Science

Accelerating discovery in the age of intelligence

Machine intelligence is compressing the path from hypothesis to breakthrough across every discipline.

02

Open Science

Building the global research commons

Shared data, models and infrastructure as the foundation for borderless, collaborative discovery.

03

Sovereign AI

National intelligence & the future of innovation

Science and AI capability are becoming strategic national infrastructure — and a question of sovereignty.

04

Future of Humanity

AI, health, science & civilization

From longevity to human potential — how science extends healthy life and reshapes what's possible.

05

Future Economy

Intelligence, capital & new growth

New investment models that turn frontier science into durable value for people and economies.

The Host

Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings

Once every year, about 30 Nobel Laureates convene at Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists.

Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings

500–600 undergraduates, PhD students and post-doc researchers from all over the world join them, in an exchange among scientists of different generations, cultures and disciplines.

The meetings focus alternately on physiology and medicine, on physics, and on chemistry — the three natural science Nobel Prize disciplines. An interdisciplinary meeting revolving around all three is held every five years, and the Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences every three. The scientific programme is built on the principle of dialogue — lectures, discussions, master classes and panels designed to activate the exchange of knowledge, ideas and experience.
