Pillars of AsiaXchange
AsiaXchange 2025 is built on three interconnected pillars: Inspire, Connect, and Invest, that together create the conditions for bold experiments and lasting impact.
1. Inspire
- Spotlighting regionally rooted solutions in Indonesia and across Asia within energy, food, and health that are affordable and scalable.
- Highlighting success stories and best practices within Indonesia and across Asia with a focus on community engagement, MEL, and locally driven innovation.
2. Connect
- Shaping a shared regional vision and collective direction, grounded in Asia’s realities and responses to global shifts.
- Co-creating pathways to scale solutions through national missions, public programs, and multi-stakeholder partnerships.
3. Invest
- Unpacking catalytic philanthropic capital’s role to unlock private and public finance for the most vulnerable through blended mechanisms and flexible instruments.
- Supporting locally led efforts to expand capital flows through strategic incentives, program alignment, and market-shaping mechanisms that drive funding toward high-impact, development-aligned solutions.
