Overview

The ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (ASEAN-BIS) is Southeast Asia’s premier annual event that brings together Presidents and Prime Ministers with business and thought leaders. It is a unique platform where the ASEAN heads, together with those of its partners, engage the private sector community to discuss the future of the region.

The distress and shock the coronavirus has caused to the people and economies of ASEAN have been deeply felt. The pandemic has shattered the global economy, paralysed production and pushed business to the brink, with many into bankruptcy. It has caused us to stop, rethink business models and social contracts and reconsider the future of work. The business sector with its dynamism, creativity, innovation and passion will be a key driver in identifying measures and steps to bounce back and ensure resilience in all our economies.

This year’s theme ‘Digital ASEAN: Sustainable and Inclusive’ will discuss the importance of the fourth industrial revolution in stimulating growth, trade and investment against the backdrop of the shock of the coronavirus and the many challenges facing the region. Discussions will cover 4 sub-themes: ASEAN’s Economic Outlook; Growth and the Future of ESG Investing in Asia; Technology and the Future of Work in ASEAN; Sustainable Development and Inclusive Growth.

As in past Summits, we anticipate the participation of the Leaders of ASEAN as well the Presidents and Prime Ministers of ASEAN’s Dialogue Partners such as China, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Russia and the USA to name a few.

Vietnam, after 10 years, is honoured to once again host ASEAN-BIS that will bring together thousands of delegates from across Southeast Asia and the wider region. It will be a pivotal event at a crucial time where the public and private sector can come together and identify ways to promote inclusive sustainable growth in a digital age.
