ASEAN Business and Investment Summit 2021
Carl Islam will be attending the ASEAN Business & Investment Summit 2021 online, see: UK-ASEAN Business Council – UKABC.
The ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (ABIS) is Southeast Asia’s premier annual forum that brings together the Heads of State, Presidents, Prime Ministers as well as business and thought leaders of ASEAN and its global partners.
It is a unique platform to hear how the key issues facing the region are being addressed and to discuss how to ensure the opportunities in ASEAN’s vibrant economies are developed sustainably and inclusively.

Carl is not sure if anybody has yet designed a structure that combines the idea of a charitable trust with an ESG fund for the ethical financing of social projects, e.g., a cultural heritage project. If you know of any precedent for such a public / private sector project please let him know.
Brunei is delighted to be hosting the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit 2021. The event will be hosted online.
It will be a pivotal event at a crucial time where the public and private sectors can come together and identify ways to promote inclusive sustainable growth in a digital age.
