A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on 4th Oct for our SG60 Elbe Fest Dresden event, celebrating Singapore's 60th Anniversary and the wonderful partnerships between Singapore and Germany.
The day was full of highlights: an educational tour of Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW) – an SG-DE joint-venture company of ST Engineering and Airbus – with insights into aircraft conversions, a quick downtown lunch to recharge, and a scenic Elbe River cruise to Schloss Pillnitz with autumn views in full display. We capped it off with a relaxed stroll and ferry crossing to a cozy Biergarten stop 🍻, before ending the evening with a warm, spicy, and festive 16-course dinner at ChinaZeit, complete with activities and giveaways.
It was such a memorable day — discovering new sides of Dresden and Sachsen, new connections between Germany and Singapore, making friends, and (re)connecting together as a community. We’ll never look at the inside of an Airbus 🛩️ the same way again, and we’re already excited to see you all at future gatherings across Germany 🇩🇪🇸🇬.
We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors and supporters:
Singapore Global Network 🌏 — for their generous sponsorship and for making this event possible.
Elbe Flugzeugwerke Team ✈️ — for hosting us over the long weekend and giving us such an insightful tour.
StorchNest GmbH & Co KG (Kenneth & Tom) 🏡 — for accommodating our welcome guests to Dresden.
Yenidraws🎨 — for the beautiful Singapore-inspired gifts.
Prima Taste 🍜 — for sponsoring goodies from home that brought a true taste of SG.
We also thank China Zeit🥢 for arranging the sumptuous 16-course dinner and warm hospitality in the evening.
And of course, a big thank you to everyone who supported with logistics, setup, moving things around, capturing photos and videos, and sharing mooncakes. You made the day run so smoothly ❤️.
Most importantly, we are deeply grateful to Ambassador Lee Chong Hock 🇸🇬 from the Singapore Embassy in Berlin for making the long cross-country journey (from Saarland!) to be with us despite his busy schedule. It meant a lot to have him at dinner, sharing conversations with each table and even giving out prizes to a few lucky winners 🎁.
Here are some snapshots from the day 📸🤳. Please share your photos in the comments too — it’s truly inspiring to see how everyone came together to make this celebration so special!
