Event Summary

SpeakIn, Asia's largest on-demand thought leadership and capability-building platform, announced the flagship regional launch of the SpeakIn Asia Institute for Industry Readiness and Employability (SPIRE) in Singapore on 17 August 2026. SPIRE is a dedicated institution designed to connect students and aspiring professionals with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, and subject-matter experts through structured learning, mentorship, industry-connect programmes, and workforce-readiness initiatives. A defining feature is its focus on outcomes: students specialize in Marketing, Engineering, or Operations & Administration, and partner companies commit to at least two internship placements per cohort. The launch also includes two government partnerships under development: an Industry Connect Module for government school students in Delhi, and an MoU under the Government of India — Telangana for the India — Telangana Global Workforce Readiness Initiative, preparing overseas workers for markets including Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. A leadership roundtable is scheduled in Singapore on 22 October 2026 under the Asia Dialogues Forum. SpeakIn was founded in 2016 and has connected over 31,000 experts with more than 3,500 enterprise clients across 30+ countries.
