“We are thrilled to once more be gathering the region’s key leaders and entrepreneurs with a plan to form actionable, collaborative plans.”

This year, 400 leaders from business, government, academia, and civil society will meet to discuss and form a systemic view of activities affecting the drivers of Asia’s economic success and how Asian businesses interact regionally as well as globally.

Apart from being distinguished as a co-chair, Güemes will take part in the “The Economic Outlook” plenary where he will provide his insight into the questions, “What is the current state of the regional and global economy? What does the changing nature of the global economy mean for Asian business? And, conversely, what is Asia’s impact on global growth?”

Likewise, Güemes’ distant colleague, IE Business School Regional Director for Asia Pacific Tetyana Kretova will take part in the discussion on “Re-igniting Micro-entrepreneurship” where she will share her thoughts on the theme: “Microfinance organisations and community development banks created a new wave of entrepreneurship across Asia. How effective is microfinance in reducing poverty? And how can microfinance build bridges to economic growth? Will new AI developments help its progress?”
