Welcome

Asia at the Crossroads

Twenty-five years ago, INSEAD opened its Asia Campus in Singapore, becoming the first business school to operate full campuses in both Europe and Asia. It was a bold bet on the region's future, made at a pivotal moment. China was on the cusp of joining the WTO, India was accelerating its economic opening, Singapore was transitioning toward a knowledge-based economy, and ASEAN was deepening regional integration.

Today, Asia sits at the crossroads of many of the forces reshaping the world economy: shifting trade patterns and supply chains, the evolution of US-China relations, the race for sovereign AI, the energy transition and the growing importance of critical minerals, demographic change, and the next generation of entrepreneurship and family enterprise.

These developments do not point to a single future. They point to a series of strategic choices being made now by governments, businesses, investors, and leaders across the region.

Join fellow INSEAD alumni in Singapore for a thought-provoking exploration of the forces transforming Asia and what they mean for those leading through them. Through conversations spanning technology, geopolitics, business, and economics, we will examine the choices ahead: where to invest and build, how to strengthen resilience while remaining globally connected, how to divide work between people and AI, and how to lead in a region that is becoming more economically integrated while also more strategically contested.

Together, we will challenge assumptions, exchange perspectives, and explore what it will take to shape Asia's next chapter.

Day 2 | Saturday, 3 April 2027

Lifelong Learning Festival | INSEAD Asia Campus

On Day 2, we return to INSEAD Asia Campus for a day of learning, exchange and connection, bringing the Forum's conversations into a more interactive setting.

The Asia Campus in Singapore has been a bridge between worlds since it opened in 2000. By expanding global business education into the region’s fast-moving markets, INSEAD became the first business school to run full campuses in both Europe and Asia.

Located in one-north, Singapore’s innovation district, INSEAD Asia Campus opens doors to regional business and talent to attend globally recognised executive education, master and executive master programmes in a leading business school. Now in its 25th year, it continues to inspire leadership and enterprise across Asia.
