Organised by Dubai Chamber in partnership with Expo 2020 Dubai under the theme “The New Frontiers”, GBF ASEAN 2021 is the first event in the GBF series to focus on the ASEAN region. The high-level forum brings together government and business leaders from ASEAN markets and the UAE to explore new avenues of economic cooperation and emerging investment opportunities.

The two-day forum will examine the changing dynamics of ASEAN region in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as new opportunities being created by digital transformation and trade partnerships. Other topics on the agenda include plans among ASEAN members and their counterparts to create the world’s largest free trade area, based on the Regional

Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement that will add an estimated $186 billion to global GDP by 2030.

Public and private sector stakeholders attending the forum will also discuss new ways that ASEAN countries can develop a low-carbon economy to build a more resilient and sustainable future, with Southeast Asia one of the world’s regions most at risk from climate change. Other issues include whether there is such a model as Southeast Asian or Middle Eastern brand of entrepreneurship and how much can Dubai and Singapore, as global hubs for their respective regions, can learn from each other.

GBF ASEAN forms part of Dubai Chamber’s Global Business Forum series that was launched in 2012 as a platform to drive trade and explore opportunities between the UAE and some of the world’s fastest growing markets.
