Green Agenda for Real Estate Industry |
| |
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A, Level 1, ICC) |
| |
With rapid economic growth, real estate is also catching up quickly in Asia . However, the high-waste, high-energy-consumption and high-pollution approach to real estate development has brought about enormous pressures on environment and energy and run counter to the strategy of sustainable development and social harmony. The government encourages and the public aspires for the Green Real Estate featuring renewable energy, energy-saving, water-saving, raw-material-saving and environment-friendliness. Nonetheless, real estate developers, for their part, care more about the commercial viability and technology-readiness of the Green Real Estate while taking on corporate social responsibilities. Commercially unviable Green Real Estate is not sustainable itself. Can Green Real Estate generate enough economic returns so as to satisfy all parties concerned: the government, the public and real estate developers? Are technologies ready? What policy incentives have or will the government put in place to encourage the Green Real Estate?
Renovation of old cities, construction of new cities and urbanization of rural areas undoubtedly contribute to the rapid growth of real estate. Massive tear-down of old buildings to give way to blocks after blocks of modern skyscrapers has been condemned. However, how to preserve historic buildings, achieve the harmony of old and new buildings and protect the unique cultural and historical identity of a city remains a major challenge to the real estate industry. Have Asian countries identified some successful models in this aspect? What experiences/lessons can they learn from advanced countries?

Accelerating Asian Growth: Evolution of the Asian Economic Community |
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A, Level 1, ICC) |

Given the scenario of stalled Doha Round of trade negotiations and the changing landscape of regional trading agreements in Asia, what is next for multilateral trading systems and its implications in Asia ? Moreover, what is the current status and prospects of Asian economic integration? Will the enhanced cooperation of Asian countries progress towards a more cohesive and integrated region, and will give way to building of an Asian Economic Community? How will it affect overall growth in the region? Furthermore, what will be the expectations and role of the business sector in deepening and broadening cooperation and integration?

Energy and Resources: New Approaches to Collaborating towards |
| |
Energy Security in Asia |
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B, Level 1, ICC) |
|
Collectively, the Asia-Pacific region consumes much more energy than it produces. It represents 29% of global oil demand yet supplies only 10%. Moreover, driven by economic growth, future energy demand in the region will only accelerate. Achieving energy security is therefore critical for the entire region. This panel will discuss questions such as: Can the region collaborate to become owners of supply by purchasing oil and gas assets? What can government and businesses do to extend the lifespan of existing conventional energy sources? Technology in use today is 10-30% less efficient than the best available technology. Can Asia “leapfrog” in innovation and adoption of energy-efficient technologies? What must governments and businesses do to encourage continual development and deployment of renewable energy sources such as hydro, wind, solar, tide, and marsh gas? What roles can the major Asian economies play?

Corporate Social Responsibility and Achieving Inclusive Growth |
|
(BFA Main Hall, Level 2, ICC)
Asia 's economic growth has been nothing short of remarkable. And that growth has raised important and complex questions about what it requires to sustain it over the long term. Issues such as poverty, health care, education, or even the provision of basic necessities like clean water were once thought to be the strict province of governments and not-for-profit organizations. However, for companies doing business in Asia, to deliver the growth that global investors demand, their business leaders must now balance short-term business needs while seeking solutions to there broader challenges. Is it possible to do both? What does “corporate social responsibility” mean for governments, NGOs and domestic and multinational companies; and what roles should each play? Is there a role for innovation in addressing issues such as poverty, health care and the lack of infrastructure? What are the commercial possibilities of solving some of the challenges? And what are the long-term implications for Asian businesses if these challenges are not adequately addressed today?

Pakistan : Transregional Hub, Linking Asia to the Middle East and Beyond |
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A, Level 1, ICC) |
|
Pakistan is in a unique position, geographically and socially, to be a key link between Middle East and Asia . Its economy is expanding rapidly, and its policymakers have in the past few years created an environment within which the private sector has begun to flourish. These policy measures include substantial privatization, reforms in the banking and utility sectors and efforts to streamline interactions with the government. To realize its potential to play a key role in the region, Pakistan continues to address challenges associated with rapid growth by improving its social infrastructure, increasing development spending, and attracting more foreign investment. It is fast emerging as a manufacturing and servicing hub. Pakistan is also taking major strides to realize its full potential as a trans-regional hub by developing multiple corridors of cooperation in the energy, trade, transportation and financial sectors.

Asian Values: the Success of Asian Global Enterprises |
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B, Level 1, ICC) |
|
The increasing eminence of Asian companies in the global arena is a fact. 122 out of the Global Fortune 500 are companies from Asia in 2006. Japan , Korea and China are amongst the top 5 in patent filings—an indicator that Asia is a significant source of innovation. Japan and Korea , in particular, have been successful in building global enterprises. What can the rest of Asia learn from them? How have these companies themselves been so successful in strategizing, innovating and managing risks to become a global force? How can Asian companies leverage the Asian spirit and values—such as respect for tradition, craftsmanship and design, entrepreneurialism, emphasis on relationships—to create differentiated core competencies which will help them sustain their competitive edge and adapt to their ever evolving environment?

India , China and Asia : Establishing a Symbiotic Relationship |
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A, Level 1, ICC) |
|
It is hard to refute that the rise of China and India has drawn the spotlight on the restof Asia . However, as the rise of China and India has changed and often challenged the role many Asian businesses play on the global stage, how are Asian countries reinventing themselves, updating their relevance, and redefining their relationships with China , India and the rest of the region? Can a symbiotic relationship exist between China , India and the rest of Asia , whereby all countries gain to benefit? Can it be assumed that Asian countries are in a unique position to benefit from the advancements being made in China and India ? If so, how can other Asian countries and markets leverage the successes of China and India , or learn from them? Similarly, what benefits could China and India enjoy from strong business relations with other Asian countries?

Power of Media and a Harmonious Asia |
|
(Peacock I, Level 1, ICC) |
|
The power of media is never to be underestimated. Its impact on cultural heritage, social values and the modernization drive of a country is vital. Regretfully, two-thirds of the information flow on the global media is sourced from developed countries which account for no more than one-seventh of the world's population. 60% of the information on various newspapers in developing countries originates from developed countries. Voices of Asian countries are much less heard globally than their due. In order to foster a favorable climate for a harmonious Asia , what social responsibilities should the Asian media take up? What role should Asia play in the integration of global media? What implications will the global media integration have on Asian media?

Universal Banking: The Next Innovation and Boost to Asia 's Global Growth |
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A, Level 1, ICC) |
|
On December 11, 2006, China fulfilled its WTO commitments to open its banking sector, probably the most significant development in recent times in the global banking industry. With the removal of geographic restrictions, foreign banks can now tap any part of China that they want and, in turn, China 's domestic banks consequently, inevitably and increasingly will be galvanized to make service enhancements and increase their competitiveness. How can Chinese banks leverage their existing infrastructure to build a new competitive advantage? How can foreign banks leverage the expanded operating scope provided by the new regulations? How will the market opening influence alliances between local and foreign banks?

Convergence & Divergence in Telecommunications, Media and Technology : the Opportunity for Asia
|
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B, Level 1, ICC) |
|
The convergence of telecommunications, media and technology (TMT) has been predicted for many years. Such convergence is progressing differently and at varying speeds depending on the individual market conditions. For instance, Japan and Korea are considered leaders in the region and globally; while China with the largest mobile and internet subscriber base in the world is on a rapid adoption curve, fueled by technology advancements. At the same time, divergence is a key force in achieving success; creating a simpler, more focused product or service offering is often the best route to market adoption.
The combination of convergence and divergence creates a powerful platform for innovation -- it is, therefore, imperative for every TMT executive to develop a clear strategy for capitalizing on these trends. Panelists in this session will address questions such as: How will telecommunication service providers change? How business is conducted to ensure that environment is preserved andquality of life improved in Asia ? What kinds of investment in technological
infrastructure must Asia undertake to keep pace with and drive the rapid rate of change? How can businesses and government partner ensure more Asian citizens to have access to the Internet and to advanced broadband technologies?

Luncheon Session: Sustainable Development in Asia : Role of Business and Government |
|
(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom C & D, Level 1, ICC)
In the coming years, Asia will play a critical role in the world's sustainable development. As the world's most populated region as well as the region with the highest economic growth rate, Asia 's consumers and producers have the power to dictate how the world addresses the growing issue of sustainable development. The 20th century saw some of the greatest advances in human development and consequent scientific and technological advances. But the cost was the highest use of natural capital ever, causing some of the greatest damage to environmental sustainability with repercussions in this millennium for
economic, social and political sustainability. There are a number of collaborations of governments and businesses established with the purpose of sustainable development – some are more successful than others. Have governments and businesses made a simple problem complex? Or are there new models within Asia and between Asia and the rest of the world, which can make the complex become simple and be even more effective than those in place today?
