Dr, Stanley YIP, CEO of G1X/NanRise was invited by the Singapore International Facility Management Association (SIFMA) to speak to the full audience of more than 700 attendees at the Facilities Management Experts Summit (FMES) held on 15 August 2025 in Ritz Carlton Hotel, Singapore. The FMES returned in 2025 as Singapore’s premier annual conference for the facilities management industry, organized by the SIFMA. The conference main theme was “The Future Workplace: Technology X Sustainability” and it explored how the convergence of smart technologies, data-driven solutions, and sustainable design is transforming the way facilities are managed and experienced. My presentation was “AI driven physical climate risks impact assessment for buildings and infrastructure management”. It focused on intensifying weather and climate risks to buildings and facilities through extreme heat, flooding, and storms, driving urgent need for predictive solutions at site specific granularity. AI/Machine learning now enables property and facility managers to transform reactive maintenance into proactive climate adaptation.

Dr Yip, CEO of G1X/Nanrise has recently successfully delivered the 3rd run of the Digital Sustainability for Strategic Leaders course at National University of Singapore Institute of System Sciences NUS-ISS. The course director and also head of Data Sciences in NUS-ISS, Clara Lee said “his course was designed with a clear mission: to empower digital technology leaders to not only drive transformation but also champion green and sustainable initiatives in their organizations. We believe NUS-ISS is among the pioneers in the region offering such a focused learning journey. Each run raises the bar, thanks to the quality of sharing, the growing enthusiasm from participants, and the evolving relevance of this space. It is truly encouraging to see the energy in the room and the meaningful conversations sparked”. She sent special thanks to Dr Yip for “his consistently insightful sharing, drawing from over 30 years of deep expertise in sustainability”.
