SINGAPORE, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The Milken Institute will hold its ninth annual Asia Summit from September 28 –

30 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Singapore. The three-day Summit will host

regional and global leaders representing more than 23 countries. Under the

theme "The World Transformed", this year's Summit seeks to confront some of the

negative consequences of humanity's progress, such as environmental degradation

and economic inequalities, while elevating critical issues that are driving

growth, catalyzing development, and transforming Asia.

Departing from the pandemic years, the 2022 Asia Summit will be a fully

in-person event, welcoming more than 1,200 participants, with an online

livestream broadcast for all public panels. In-person participants can interact

with experts and leaders through a series of networking receptions, private

dinners, and exclusive roundtable discussions.

Over the course of three days, attendees will have the opportunity to gain

insights from leaders in government, finance, technology, sports, and more,

including: Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Minister of Finance, Malaysia; Jean

Hynes, CEO, Wellington Management; Hiraoki Kitano, Senior Executive Vice

President and CTO Corporate Executive Officer, Sony Group Corporation; Tharman

Shanmugaratnam, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for Social Policies,

Prime Minister's Office, Singapore; and Rohit Sipahimalani, Chief Investment

Officer, Temasek; among others.

"In recent years, a series of converging macro forces and social changes are

transforming the world as we know. From technology and globalization to

pandemic response and the rise of artificial intelligence, these forces will

continue to shape and reshape every aspect of our lives," said Laura Deal

Lacey, Executive Director of the Asia Center. "Asia is at the heart of the

transformation that defines the global agenda. With our finger on the pulse,

our efforts at the Milken Institute in Asia bring together leaders to share

valuable insights and highlight critical conversations on issues affecting the

region, which often have global implications."
