Media Conference

We hosted a successful Media Briefing to share key updates and exciting developments for the Chairmanship Year 2025 yesterday. During the event, we officially announced the dates for our flagship events: the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (ABIS) and the ASEAN Business Awards (ABA), which will take place on 25 – 26 October 2025, in conjunction with the ASEAN Summit. These flagship events will bring together ASEAN leaders, policy makers, business leaders, international delegates, as well as Investors and VCs.

In addition to the event dates, we unveiled several key initiatives for the Chairmanship Year, aimed at driving regional growth, sustainability, and inclusivity. We also launched the dedicated microsite for ABIS and ABA, which will serve as a one-stop platform for event information, registration, and updates, ensuring seamless engagement for all participants.
