The Year Ahead Asia 2017 | Bloomberg L.P. | 6 December 2017 | Ritz-Carlton Mega Kuningan, Jl. DR. Ide Anak Agung Gde Agung Kav.E.1.1 No. 1

For Asian CEOs, 2018 is set to further cement the region’s position as the global epicenter of growth and innovation; and the source of the biggest risks to the Global Community. The upside could see Asia’ expanding middle-class power world leading growth into 2019, China’s Belt & Road Initiative bringing huge infrastructure projects online, and new opportunities created for all businesses by the rise of FinTech and e-commerce, among others. On the downside, CEOs will have to contend with grave geopolitical risks emanating from North Korea and the South China Sea, a more inward looking White House ready to criticize Asia’s position in a globalized World economy, and the looming specter of a sizeable market correction occurring before the end of the year.

Change is the one constant that unifies global CEOs — and the pace of change only seems to be quickening. This is why Bloomberg convenes The Year Ahead Summit, an invitation-only event creating a 360-degree view of the most urgent topics facing every executive in the coming year.

The issues are myriad, from ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, to the radically changing nature of work in the age of A.I., and the most promising new global investment opportunities. Join Bloomberg at The Year Ahead Asia on December 6, 2017, to help shape the conversation around the most important trends, issues and challenges every Asian executive will need to consider in 2018.
