For the second time in its history, the annual Horasis Asia Meeting will be hosted virtually to convene hundreds of the region’s most respected government and business leaders. The summit takes place on November 26th, and discussions will focus on pathways forward for Asian countries that are tackling the unprecedented challenges of their post-COVID futures.
With this meeting, Horasis will look to present a systemic view of activities affecting the drivers of Asia’s economic success and how Asian businesses interact regionally as well as globally.
The Horasis Asia Meeting first began in 2016 and has quickly become one of the most important forums to encourage dialogue between Asian leaders to make way for positive investments and growth. The Switzerland-based think tank hosts multiple summits every year throughout the world with the aim to find sustainable business solutions.
“Asia is truly going through a transition,” said Horasis Chairman Frank-Jürgen Richter.
“And rather than looking inward, now is the time for leaders to come together and rebuild trust. Only by working together will we begin to create a more just, equitable future for all.”
