Frank-Jürgen Richter – Chairman of Horasis – commented on the event:
“Horasis understands that tackling globally relevant issues and implementing growth strategies requires thought leadership and peer-to-peer networks. We are thrilled to once more be gathering the region’s key leaders and entrepreneurs with a plan to form actionable collaborative plans.”
Discussion at the Horasis Asia Meeting will centre around the fundamental drivers of economies in the Asian marketplace and the importance of free markets for Asian countries and corporations based in the region. A consideration of how Asian businesses interact on a regional basis as well as globally will form another aspect to the discussion.
Over the course of the two-day event, talks and discussions are set to be held on topics such as sustainable development, regional integration, tourism, Asian family businesses, closing the gender gap, Asia’s digital economy, climate change, youth employment, impact investment, inclusive growth and many more.
