SINGAPORE: Singapore will hold its first business conference of scale this week since the coronavirus pandemic put ice to such activities in the city-state, amid ongoing efforts to restart its economy.

The Singapore International Energy Week starts today with 250 participants and on-site staff, and hundreds more are slated to join virtually. Singapore has become a hub for oil and natural gas traders and – in a normal year – hosts dozens of conferences, roundtable discussions and happy hours for company officials to mingle and broker deals.
