Project Overview
FutureEverything is an award winning festival and innovation lab based in Manchester UK this year celebrating its 20th anniversary.
It stands for the sharpest edge of the digital imagination, and brings people together to discover, share and experience new ideas for the future. Year round, it delivers innovation labs in areas such as open data, smart cities and new media arts. On 5th-13th September 2015, FutureEverything presents a city-wide Festival in Singapore (“FutureEverything Singapore”). This is a partnership between FutureEverything, SG50 and Singapore’s Infocomm Development Authority (IDA).
This is a unique proposition, as it is the first time Singapore has used a cultural event to communicate issues around its flagship ‘Smart Nation’ – the national vision of using technology to improve lives and business. The Singapore festival will promote a culture of experimentation and prototyping in Singapore, and amplify the global profile of the FutureEverything brand. The festival will take place in venues and public spaces across Singapore, with mass-participation urban gaming, a public realm art installation, a conference, workshops and exhibitions.
