HONG KONG, 3rd December 2015- The Asia 21 Summit provided a global platform and a network of like-minded talent from throughout Asia. The 31 young leaders who make up the Asia 21 Class of 2015 representing 22 countries discussed various best practices in leadership, dichotomies in the world we live in, and what new generations may do to create new opportunities for partnerships, sustainability, and cooperation. Delegates also developed group public service projects, which they would administer through the next year.

The summit celebrated the achievements of the first decade, explored innovative ways to leverage the Asia 21 network for greater impact, and formed special Asia 21 Task Forces to address critical issues facing the region. “Next-generation leaders hold the keys to our future, and Asia has a treasure trove of leadership talent,” said Josette Sheeran, President and CEO of Asia Society.
