    Bank on It: Companies That Are Changing the Rules, and the World

    Caroline Fairchild, Bom Kim, Hakan Koç, Ming Maa, Abhinav Sinha

    Coupang, Auto1 Group, Grab, and OYO Rooms, all backed by SoftBank's Vision Fund, leverage asset-heavy strategies to dominate e-commerce, automotive, super-app, and hospitality sectors by solving unique regional infrastructure gaps. These companies collectively delayed public listings to prioritize vertical integration and hyper-local adaptation, resulting in massive scale metrics such as Coupang's $11 billion run rate and Grab's status as Southeast Asia's first billion-dollar tech firm. Looking forward, their expanded logistics networks and proprietary technology aim to penetrate new global markets, including the US, while further formalizing informal economies through deep financial and operational ecosystems.

    Innovators Shaping Asia

    Gary Liu, Swan Gin Beh, Tony Han, Ming Maa, Teddy Oetomo, Hua Fung Teh

    This event analyzes the explosive growth of Asia's unicorn ecosystem, which now accounts for one-third of global valuations and is driven by a massive, rising middle class across its $2.8 trillion Southeast Asian economy. Case studies from Grab, One Championship, WeRide, and Bukalapak illustrate how leaders leverage hyper-localized strategies, deep government collaboration, and the digitization of the informal economy to navigate diverse regulatory landscapes. By focusing on infrastructure gaps and IP export potential, these companies are transforming the region from a consumer of global technology into a primary source of innovation and market disruption.

    Lunch Program | The World in 2037: Asia On Demand

    Hugh Andrew, Su Shan Tan, Patrick Grove, Ridwan Kamil, Ming Maa, Rohan Mahadevan

    Hosted by Asia Square in partnership with the Milken Institute, the "The World in 2037: Asia on Demand" lunch program features a panel moderated by Tan Sue Shan and includes insights from leaders of Grab, iFlix, PayPal, and Bandung Mayor Ridwan Kamil regarding digital disruption across real estate, infrastructure, and governance. The discussion highlights rapid mobile-first adoption in Southeast Asia, Bandung's successful smart city transformation through software-driven governance, and Grab's expansion into a financial ecosystem while predicting a shift toward flexible "on-demand" commercial spaces. Ultimately, the session outlines a trajectory for 2037 characterized by autonomous transportation, deflationary economic pressures, and the evolution of payment infrastructure to near-instantaneous, invisible authentication models.
