It Takes a Step Forward to Bring the Change

Asia is home to over 4.5 billion people, making it the most populous continent on Earth with approximately 2/3 of the world's population living there. In the last decades, it has experienced a tremendous technological boom, and the economies there are relatively stable. GDP growth in many of the region's economies outstrips the ones from Western countries, and recent forecasts predict Asian economies will be larger than the rest of the world combined in 2020.

The accelerated economic growth and stability are one of the many reasons why you should consider Asia as your next opportunity to expand abroad.

In the last 60 years, Asia has experienced spectacular economic growth and has become a breeding ground for fast-moving, innovative, and competitive businesses. Since 1960, Asia has become richer faster than any other region of the world.

Of course, this growth has not occurred at the same pace all over the continent. The eastern half of the continent and more specifically China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam have been champions in economic growth. Countries such as Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos are now emerging as exciting growth opportunities in the near term.

It is only natural that one may venture afar to the promised land too establish a business that resonates with the essence of exponential leadership. Asia Business Outlook's edition featuring the most influential leaders of the South East Asia region have proven their mettle in the arena and we think these individuals may become the change drivers of the future.
