ASEAN Business And Investment Summit 2022
WomenbizPH Chairperson Mylene Abiva and WomenbizPH President Rosemarie Rafael joined the Philippine delegation during the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit held last November 9-10,2022 in Phonm Penh , Cambodia.
The ASEAN Business and Investment Summit is Southeast Asia’s premier annual forum that brings together the Presidents and Prime Ministers as well as business and thought leaders of ASEAN and its Dialogue Partners. The Summit is an important platform for the business community to hear directly from Leaders and from business decision makers on how to address the key issues facing Southeast Asia. WomenbizPH met with other women business organization leaders from ASEAN Women Entrepreneur Network (AWEN) for collaboration and partnerships.
The theme for the year is ‘Addressing Challenges Together’. Southeast Asia is indeed going through a challenging time. Increasing geopolitical tension, coupled with the impact of the war in Ukraine, at a time where Southeast Asia’s economies are still struggling to get back on their feet and recover from the pandemic require a united ASEAN response. It is imperative that we come together to not only address these challenges but to also prepare for a shared integrated future that is increasingly digital and in a way that achieves both our economic growth needs and our climate change commitments.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. was one of the Head of State as Keynote Speaker of the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit. ASEAN Business and Investment Summit brought together ASEAN Heads of State, World Leaders, CEO’s , Industry Leaders and other key business decision makers.
