The Business and Philanthropy Forum (BNP) stands as the premier gathering for thought leaders and innovators in Asia, addressing cutting-edge topics such as global philanthropy, family succession, social innovation, sustainability, and the integration of technology ventures with business and philanthropic perspectives. With an ambition to establish itself as the “Davos East” of Asia, the Forum is deeply rooted in Asian values and perspectives, fostering meaningful connections through value-based conversations.
The Rise of New Money Families in Asia
As shifts in the global political economy and rapid technological advancements unfold, Asia is witnessing the emergence of numerous new money families. These families face unique challenges, including wealth succession and philanthropy planning. The Business and Philanthropy Forum addresses these needs by providing a platform for dialogue and collaboration.

Sustainability initiatives will be a focal point, exploring how businesses and philanthropists can work together to create lasting environmental impact. Additionally, attendees will explore how technological advancements are reshaping philanthropy, learning about the latest tools and platforms that facilitate philanthropic efforts and enhance stakeholder engagement.
