The Asia New Vision Forum (ANVF) 2025 commenced on 16 September in Singapore, marking its third consecutive year. Organised by Caixin Global and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, the forum brings together over 600 investors, entrepreneurs, and high-level government officials from more than 12 countries. Under the theme “Charting the Future Amid Uncertainty,” the event aims to address critical global economic and business issues.
Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, Gan Kim Yong, delivered the opening keynote, focusing on Asia’s role in a fragmented world.
The opening panel featured Hu Shuli, Chairwoman of Caixin Global, and Lawrence Summers, former US Treasury Secretary. They discussed pressing issues such as US tariffs, artificial intelligence, and China-US relations. Summers highlighted the potential of AI to boost economic growth, whilst cautioning against a winner-takes-all mindset between China and the US.
Spanning three days, ANVF 2025 includes over 30 sessions, covering topics like geopolitics, financial markets, and the future of advanced manufacturing. The forum also launched the inaugural Caixin CG Capital Forum, focusing on AI and automation.
The event will continue to explore key issues such as biotechnology and green energy, featuring insights from former political leaders, UN representatives, and industry experts. ANVF will return to Singapore for its 2027 and 2029 editions, solidifying its status as a premier platform for international exchange.
