SINGAPORE, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Asia New Vision Forum will hold its second edition in Singapore from September 25 to 27, 2024. The theme of this year's Forum is "Global Challenges, Asian Solutions", where it aims to deep dive into sustainable economic growth for all while highlighting Asian solutions and innovations needed for a shared future.
A new international conference brand launched by Caixin Global a year ago in June 2023 with the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board and the Singapore Tourism Board, the Asia New Vision Forum 2024 marks continued collaboration with Singapore and other international corporate partners.
Hundreds of global policymakers, business leaders, scholars and industry experts are expected to participate in a dynamic two-day program of plenary sessions, insightful panels and roundtables to jointly address new risks, opportunities, and challenges brought about by global changes. With enabling action beyond dialogue as a key objective of the Forum, a high-level practical workshop will be held on the third day, to further facilitate exchanges on investing in Southeast Asia and more.
Asia stands as a diverse mosaic of developing nations and emerging economies, with untapped potential waiting to be realized. While it continues its role as the engine for global growth, Asia is increasingly leading the charge in areas such as energy transformation and technological innovation. Despite strong global economic headwinds, Asia continues to be both a cradle for innovation and a dynamic center for providing solutions. The Forum will deep dive into enabling sustainable economic growth through innovations and solutions in various fields such as biotechnology, medical innovation, new energy, photovoltaics, education, and fintech.
Hu Shuli, Chairwoman of Caixin Global and host of the Asia New Vision Forum said: "The inaugural Asia Vision Forum held last year successfully provided a platform for open and interactive dialogue between Asia and the world. This year, as we cooperate with Singapore again, we have greater confidence and aspiration that the participants will discuss topics of Asian interest, share Asian experiences and become architects to shape Asia's development and be drivers of changes. We believe that the Forum will spark even more innovation and cooperation opportunities, contributing to the prosperity and progress of Asia and the world."
Yap Chin Siang, Deputy Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board said: "Following the successful hosting of the inaugural Asia New Vision Forum in Singapore in 2023, our continued partnership in 2024 not only affirms Singapore's reputation as a major trade hub with cutting-edge innovation, technology, and research capabilities but also Singapore's advantageous position as a venue for world-class business events in Asia. We wish the second Asia New Vision Forum great success. Singapore will continue to support high-quality business events to foster a vibrant MICE ecosystem and uphold our ambition to be the World's Best MICE City."
Tan Kong Hwee, Executive Vice President, Global Enterprises and Marketing, Singapore Economic Development Board said: "We are pleased to welcome Caixin back for the second run of its Asia New Vision Forum in Singapore, a testament to our city-state's position as a convening hub for thought leadership and innovation.
