With consistent and strong economic growth over the past decade or more, the global focus is now rightly on this region. Given its significance, the 10th edition of GES will focus on Asia-Pacific Driving Global Trade.

As one of the most dynamic regions in the world, Asia Pacific contributes significantly to the global economy—accounting for over 60% of the global market—through its advancements in technology, innovation, investments, entrepreneurship, and human capital. The region also plays a pivotal role in exports, start-ups, and cross-border investments.

A region of diverse economies—ranging from advanced and developing to emerging—Asia-Pacific is rich in natural resources, offers a competitive labour force, and benefits from a stable political environment. The economies in the region have introduced wide-ranging legislation to attract investors by creating world-class infrastructure, including economic zones, roads, ports, and airports.

The growth of the Asia-Pacific region has been largely driven by investments and trade from other continents, including Europe, Canada, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and the Americas. The Summit acknowledges their immense contributions and invites global partners to explore new avenues for cooperation.
