Adding value for Focus India and partners over the years

The past two years have been a challenge for all of us. Thanks to our partners, sponsors and team members, Focus India was able to add value throughout the years and has established strong and crucial relationships in the business world. We want to look back and find out what the former team representatives can entrust us with.

"Change today for a better tomorrow"

Amid the current crisis, a generation has found its voice and demands changes from government and businesses. They need to start listening, understanding and acting. This has been demonstrated by the purpose driven business movement. Companies need to tell their story and give a recognizable meaning to what they are reaching for in their future. We must change for a better tomorrow with meaning and no empty promises.

The founders - their stories and what are our take-aways

As this NEXUS shows, change is consistent and so did the teams change, and the projects have been handed over to the next generation. Before change can be fostered and a project can take one step further, one must be clear about the project's beginning and past. Therefore, we used the network and reached out to the founders of connectUS and asked them our most burning questions.

ASEAN + 3 + 6 = ?

ASEAN stands for Association of Southeast Asian Nations and consists of ten member states including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The aim of its creation was to improve economic, sociocultural and political cooperation and to balance political conflicts between these countries. But what exactly is ASEAN+3 and ASEAN+6? And what purpose do they have?

Theme and On-Site Trip Destinations

The world is a complex value chain, a network of organizations that works collaboratively to transfer products and services from producers to consumers. The conditions we have become accustomed to is inconceivable without an international supply chain. During the 7th edition of exploreASEAN we will dive into this complex world of global value chains and the positioning of ASEAN+ in those growing dynamics. Learn more about our theme and the destinations chosen for the on-site trip.
