Participants will have the chance to engage with experts and leaders through various networking events, private dinners, and exclusive roundtable discussions.

From advancements in technology and globalization to responses to the pandemic and the emergence of artificial intelligence, these factors will continue to influence our lives.” She emphasized that Asia is pivotal in the transformation shaping the global agenda, and the Milken Institute’s initiatives in the region aim to bring together leaders to share insights and foster discussions on issues that impact not only Asia but the world at large.
