A virtual gathering of the world’s most powerful CEOs, business leaders, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, prime ministers, and presidents of APEC economies. Delegates will attend the Summit online as it is hosted using an immersive stage and the latest digital technologies and broadcast from the Aotea Centre in central Auckland on 11 and 12 November 2021 (NZT).
Take inspiration from world leaders and connect with top CEOs from across the Asia-Pacific at the APEC CEO Summit 2021.
This is the most important meeting of business and government in the Asia-Pacific, where thought leaders and world business executives engage with each other and with APEC leaders to seek solutions to the biggest challenges and opportunities of the times.
At the heart of this is an impressive stage design, intended to generate interaction and present a bold, New Zealand look and feel to the APEC CEO Summit’s international audience.
APEC CEO Summit Executive Director Jonathan Alver says this will make the Summit unique in the world this year as a virtual event that will bring together world, business, and economic leaders into one forum that will connect with people across the Asia Pacific region.
“By harnessing networking technology, clever design, and some innovative thinking, we believe this year’s CEO Summit will be compelling and thought-provoking, providing a powerful platform for our world-class line-up of keynote speakers, panelists, and world leaders,” he says.
The APEC CEO Summit 2021 will focus on five themes:
- The state of the world with and post-Covid: economic recovery, trade, and protectionism.
- The Digital Disruption Opportunity: digital transformation, technology and innovation, and the importance of digital equity.
- The Primacy of Trust: ESG (environmental, social, governance) – the next focus for business, and business as a force for good.
- The Future of Energy: clean technology, renewable energy, and energy transition including hydrogen.
- The Sustainability Imperative: sustainable growth, climate change, food sustainability, and provenance.
The Summit is being supported by premier partners: PwC (Knowledge Partner), Contact Energy, Fonterra, Microsoft, and Westpac NZ.
