Bangkok, Thailand – 9 Feb 2026: ����logo is excited to announce its 22^nd Asean Forum, set to take place from 10-12 March at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok. This premier event will bring together leading corporates, institutional investors, policymakers and experts to discuss the growth opportunities, demographic shifts and policy trends shaping Southeast Asia’s key markets.

The Forum will go beyond the headlines to uncover the region’s most promising opportunities. Topics will include Singapore’s advancements in AI, datacenters and advanced manufacturing; Malaysia’s expanding role in chip packaging, testing and electronics; and Vietnam’s wide-ranging government, institutional and capital market reforms. Indonesia’s push toward downstream industrialisation through large-scale FDI will also feature prominently, alongside insights into Thailand’s dynamic manufacturing base and thriving tourism sector. Additionally, discussions will spotlight the Philippines’ growth story, driven by domestic demand, a young urban population, strong remittances and a growing middle class.

Delegates will benefit from diverse perspectives through thought-provoking speaker presentations and panel discussions covering key regional themes and sector-specific opportunities. For a hands-on experience, attendees can join bespoke tours across the six major Asean markets and gain firsthand exposure to critical sectors such as AI, semiconductors, autos, sustainability, consumer and property.

Edward Park, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at CSI, said: “Asean is solidifying its position as a global economic powerhouse. With policy momentum building and investment accelerating across key markets, it is entering a new era of expansion and opportunity. The Asean Forum is designed to help investors and corporates better understand investment opportunities and connect directly with the region’s next phase of growth.”

Samir Kogar, Thailand Country Head at CLSA, added: “Thailand is rapidly emerging as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies, with strong growth in technology, manufacturing and sustainable industries. As a regional hub for trade, tourism and innovation, it offers an ideal environment for meaningful cross-border collaboration. Hosting the Forum in vibrant Bangkok allows us to bring together leaders and innovators in a city that blends modern infrastructure with deep cultural connectivity. We are known as the Land of Smiles for a reason; come experience it for yourself.”

Matthew Overy, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Head of Research at CLSA, said: “At a time of heightened global uncertainty and rapidly shifting capital flows, having direct access to regional insights and corporate leaders matters more than ever. Our Asean Forum is a timely platform for investors and corporates to engage face to face, compare perspectives and identify where the next opportunities are emerging across the region.”
