Co-founder of PAN (Pan Asia Network)
Asia has always been a bedrock of entrepreneurship, diversity, vitality, innovation and resilience. Collaborations that create borderless opportunities across boundaries tap the resources and ingenuity of decision makers and modern-day Silk Road merchants. Our mélange of cultures distinguishes us – at times, divides us – yet unites us on our interdependent journeys. Each journey is distinctive, but the combined purpose illuminates a path that harnesses the collective identities, potential and the greatness of Asia.
How do we ignite the spark to impact, if not, further the common good? As raw materials that brim with intrinsic value which forms the foundation of our communities, how can neighboring cities in Asia be brought together for positive collision? PAN project is a learning and exchange platform where diverse programs are tested, executed and distributed through collaboration, networking and peer learning. Our purpose is to equip people for the post-industrial age, where creativity, open innovation and collaboration are the core elements of growth and development.
