Asia is transforming the dynamics of global business. By 2040, it will account for more than 50% of global GDP and drive 40% of the world’s consumption. Asia is already leading the world in business transformation from consumer super apps to speed to market and major project implementations - transforming both real and digital worlds. Asia’s largest corporates have become global market leaders and Asia is home to over a third of the world’s ‘unicorns’. These unprecedented shifts in the dynamics of global business create a need for constructive dialogue on future opportunity.
