There are several compelling reasons why should you care about the upcoming Corporate Innovation Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, and not least because Southeast Asia now offers unprecedented and unparalleled business opportunities with a global outlook, which means that whether you are in anywhere else in the world, this is the place to be. Attending CIS 2020 will not only give you the chance to network with some of the region’s most influential leaders and learn from world-class speakers, workshop leaders, and exhibitors, but it will expand your horizon into an innovative territory never before chartered. So, if you have ever thought about doing business in Southeast Asia, then you owe it to yourself to at the very least find out more about what this unique conference has to offer.
Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam, are some of the world’s fastest-growing economies and internet economies in the world. By 2025, the region’s combined economy is set to reach $300 billion, fuelled by one of the world’s most youthful population who are increasingly becoming wealthy, as well as increasingly connected. The 360-million-strong-and-rapidly-growing Southeast Asian internet users are some of the most engaging, with the average user in Thailand spending more than 5 hours per day on their mobile internet, whereas the average time in the region is close to 4 hours per day, compared to the global average is around 3 hours, according to a HootSuite study. It is no wonder, then, that mobile apps are extremely popular, not only for apps from the titans of the industries, but for local, homegrown startups and a myriad of smaller, specialized creators, especially in logistics, such as ride-hailing apps, and E-commerce.
These developments are really just the beginning, as Southeast Asia’s population embraces the internet, mobile devices, and e-commerce at an even larger scale in the near future. CIS2020 is the one conference that can serve as a shortcut to learn and connect with the dynamic SE Asia Ecosystem as we bring all the CEOs and Top Executives who are the movers and shakers, creators and disruptors of SE Asia in one place only for you.
CIS2020 covers a wide range of topics, all of which are the themes driving global innovations forward. The 5 key themes presented are extremely relevant to anyone anywhere who wishes to stay ahead of the curve to emerge in the new post-disruption world. Five key themes include:
Interesting as they are, the above are just some of the workshops and keynotes offered under each theme. Many more are waiting for you!

Networking session has always been the highlight of RISE-held events and CIS conferences are not an exception. CEOs, startups entrepreneurs, investors, accelerators, media personnel and all attendees alike can bring along their individual ideas and perspectives to make this session a must for any person or organization looking to establish a connection to communicate and exchange their thoughts. Striking out on your own and conducting research into doing business here in South East Asia is one thing, but there is nothing quite like having form a connection to people and potential partner that, together, you and they can be propelled to a height greater than any one person can reach by themselves.
CIS2020 is designed for networking. By the nature of experiential workshops, you will be interacting with presenters and other attendees. Unlike other conferences, where only a handful of famous and successful guest speakers and attendees are featured and are often so much in-demand that getting to meet them is akin to winning a top prize, CIS2020 is filled to the brim with the movers and shakers of industries, giving you more opportunities to communicate and connect. In case you opt for the Inner Circle Pass, you will be able to enjoy an even greater opportunity to networks, such as being seated alongside CEOs and other esteemed guests at the CEO Reception Dinner.
