The Council on Emerging Markets – Asia Pacific serves executives from global companies who are responsible for their company’s strategy or operations in the critical Asia-Pacific Region. Participation is reserved for the senior-most executive responsible for the region, and his or her direct reports.

Whether you are aggressively entering new markets, expanding your existing footprint in key markets, or both, success in Asia Pacific today requires new levels of performance. The growth and westward expansion of investment in China, the emergence of India, and the need to realize the potential of Future 7 (F-7) countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, creates enormous growth opportunity.
