THEMES

INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES FOR A DECADE OF
CHALLENGES: ASIA 2020-2030

As the pandemic continues in its devastating journey, the world is changing – communities globally throng around survival strategies, focus on reinventing their economic base and prepare for what looks to be a long, tough road ahead. It is the time for powerful, accountable leadership to pave the path to recovery and at the ABLF Talks Live, the narrative rallies around disruption, determination and the commitment to find innovative solutions to adapt and pivot in a new ecosystem that has emerged in the wake of the pandemic. The crisis is driving our collective attention to the inconsistencies and frailties that have defined the world until this moment, opening our eyes to new competitive threats as well as unexpected opportunities.

What will the world look like after COVID-19? The challenges we will face in the rising decade could be extreme versions of those that are already in play. At the beginning of this critical decade, the ABLF Talks Live seeks to bring about fundamental change through the power of collective discourse leading to action.
