This premier event convenes over 700 industry and government leaders to pinpoint solutions that will help businesses prosper in an era of rapid technological shift. The 2026 programme moves beyond hype to address the practical realities of the AI age. Attendees will engage with senior leaders to discuss regulatory divergence across Asia, the scaling of autonomous agents, the Greater Bay Area innovation ecosystem and the impact of smart mobility on global supply chains. Speaking ahead of the event, Tom Standage, deputy editor of *The Economist*, said: "Uncertainty abounds in today’s world, whether in geopolitics, trade or financial markets.

By convening this event, and hearing from organisations that are leading the way in technology adoption, we aim to highlight how technology can provide a positive and prosperous way forward." **50 speakers confirmed including:** - **James Elwes**, chief information officer, international markets, Asia, **HSBC** - **Alex Yang**, co-founder, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, **Tuya Smart** - **Spencer Lam**, group chief technology officer, **Shangri-La Group** - **Aseem Puri**, digital chief executive officer, **Unilever** - **Jeremy Goldstrich**, vice-president, North-Pacific operations, **FedEx** - **Aseem Puri**, digital chief executive officer, **Unilever** - **Sachin Verma**, chief AI and data officer, **Rakuten Mobile** - Plus leaders from **DBS, Volkswagen Group, FWD, OCBC, ST Engineering, Jardine Matheson, Swire Coca-Cola** and more The event is sponsored by Tata Communications, GCash, Ant International and FWD and supported by The Hong Kong Tourism Board and Invest Hong Kong. **Register:** **About Economist Impact** Economist Impact empowers businesses, governments and foundations to catalyse change and enable progress.
