To mark The Business Times' 50th anniversary, The BTLuxe Edit spotlights 50 leaders and brands that have shaped luxury in Singapore; the full list will be unveiled at the symposium, sponsored by Schroders Wealth Management

SINGAPORE, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BTLuxe, the luxury lifestyle supplement of The Business Times, unveils The BTLuxe Edit, a power list of 50 legacy and emerging names and brands shaping the luxury landscape in Singapore across categories like Architecture, Craft, Culture and Placemaking. The list will be unveiled at TheBTLuxe Edit - Future:Legacy, a symposium on luxury, wealth, and legacy held at Shangri-La Singapore on 28 October. Presented as part of BT's 50th anniversary celebrations, the event will convene business leaders, creatives, and luxury decision makers to examine the meaning of luxury today, where it is headed, and how Asia sits within it all. The BTLuxe Edit - Future:Legacy is presented by Schroders Wealth Management.

"For 50 years, The Business Times has reported on how Singapore builds wealth. As our city and reporting steps into a new chapter, The BTLuxe Edit - Future:Legacy conference aims to offer meaningful insight into how luxury will be experienced in the next 50 years, and where Singapore stands in this new era," says Chen Huifen, Editor, The Business Times.

"We're privileged to have in the room luxury's movers and shakers — those who have shaped how Singapore sees, defines and experiences luxury, be it over three decades or just a few years. We wanted to bring together the architects, restaurateurs, patrons and entrepreneurs together in one space to explore both the legacy, and the future of luxury," says Jaime Ee, The Business Times' Lifestyle Editor.

The BTLuxe Edit – Future:Legacy pairs the unveiling of the list with a half-day programme of panel sessions and fireside chats featuring selected inductees and other industry leaders. Speakers include:

• Francis Yeoh, Executive Chairman of YTL Corporation, and his niece Yeoh Pei Xien, Vice-President of Strategy and Transformation at YTL Hotels, in a rare fireside chat
• Jasmine Prasetio, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Sotheby's who will share perspectives on the future of the Asian art world
• Wee Teng Wen, founder and managing partner of The Lo & Behold Group and the force behind New Bahru
• Chan Soo Khian, founder of SCDA Architects and the Soori hotel brand
• Loh Lik Peng, founder, Unlisted Collection; his group of restaurants and hotels hold 8 Michelin stars in Singapore alone 
• Sandy Assakul, Co-Founder, Baan Trok Tua Ngork — a row of five shophouses in Bangkok that was transformed by her and her siblings
• Ashish Manchharam, Founder, Elevate Capital, which has just launched its first adaptive reuse project, Stamford Place

Who should attend

Future:Legacy is designed for those who make decisions about luxury rather than simply consume it: founders and family business principals, private bankers and wealth advisers, brand and hospitality leaders, developers, collectors and patrons of the arts. Limited to 150 guests, a small number of tickets to the symposium is available to the public here. The symposium will be followed by a closed-door dinner for inductees, partners and invited guests.

With conversations and a list of inductees spanning 10 categories — Architecture, Craft, Culture, Enterprise, Gastronomy, Hospitality, Interior Design, Patronage, Placemaking and Wellness — the afternoon offers a single vantage point on how Singapore's luxury economy is evolving.
