Generation T's first-ever summit will bring together the leaders who are shaping Asia's future for two days of talks and experiences in Hong Kong on April 3-4, 2020

We’ve all heard it before: this is the Asian Century. We’ve seen the numbers and read the charts—Asia is set to become the new driver of the global economy.

From 2020, Asian economies will be larger than the rest of the world combined for the first time since the 19th century. Will this switch of economic power see similar inflections in culture, philosophy and geopolitics? Only time will tell. 

One thing is for sure: there’s never been a more critical time to uncover, explore and overcome the unique challenges holding us back, nor the opportunities that will propel us towards new heights.

The mission of the inaugural Gen.T Asia Summit is to meaningfully contribute to that most important of conversations.

To do this, Generation T will bring together a community of influential leaders on April 3 to 4, 2020 to grapple with the boldest questions of our time. From fearless young disruptors to established industry titans, changemakers and opinion-leaders across industries will convene in Hong Kong to explore the power of their ideas and what happens when we work together.

The Mission: Breaking Barriers

To move forward, barriers must be broken—the mission of the Gen.T Asia Summit. The opportunity for positive impact is too great for innovators to be inhibited by traditional barriers—generation, gender, culture and geography. By connecting minds with a purpose, the Gen.T Asia Summit will catalyse innovation in the region and inspire Asia’s next generation of leaders.
