The Asia Investment Conference fosters strategic in-depth discussions amongst investors and key business decision makers.
Since our inception in 2016, we have curated numerous high level events convening former ministers, government officials, including senior members from the public and private sectors.
The events are led and anchored by IJK Capital Partners, an investment and advisory firm with offices in Shanghai, Singapore and Hong Kong. These initiatives have played an instrumental role in bridging resources and the best minds across industries, supplementing IJK's core business.
The key objectives of these summits are to:
-
Engage industry experts, key business stakeholders and friends in a lifelong intellectual and co-generative dialogue with the wider business community
-
Leverage the collective experiences and insights shared at these events - enabling key decision makers, boards and entrepreneurs to brainstorm and formulate actionable strategies for solving problems in our increasingly complex and inter-connected business environment
