Vijay Vaitheeswaran, US business editor at The Economist, innovation evangelist, member of the World Economic Forum's global agenda council on the economics of innovation, and conference chair, considers innovation:  "the most abused word in the English language". For him, innovation is "fresh thinking that creates value".

Asia must build on its economic strength by adopting savvy policies and regulations that support innovation to counter the effects of globalisation's retreat. For China's world-beating e-commerce platforms and hardware industry, India's booming tech start-up sector and South-East Asia's burgeoning social-media scene, innovation will be crucial to future growth. Speakers from government and business will share how they are driving innovation in and beyond their organisations, and charting new ways to create growth. The lineup includes:

  • Joseph Entulu, Minister in the prime minister's department, Malaysia
  • Fanny Lwa Fan Chiu Fun, Member, HKSAR Executive Council
  • Jumain Appe, Director-general for innovation enhancement, Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Indonesia
  • Sam Fischer, President, Greater China and Asia, Diageo
  • Wiliam Fung, Group chairman, Li & Fung
  • Yutaka Sanada, Regional senior vice-president and head of operations, Asia and Oceania, Nissan Motor Corporation
  • Nadiem Makarim, chief executive officer, Go-Jek

  • Can Asia exploit the growing closed-door mentality in the West and take leadership of global markets?
  • Is artificial intelligence worth the investment?
  • Can technology replace manufacturing as a key driver of growth in Asia's developing economies? 
  • Where does the next generation of entrepreneurs see Asia's future opportunities?
