AsiaXchange 2025

Harnessing solutions and partnerships to serve the most marginalized across Asia

Asia stands at the edge of extraordinary possibilities to drive the next wave of economic growth — unlocking capital, ideas, and partnerships, while keeping people at the center.

The Rockefeller Foundation’s current priorities, across energy, food, health, and finance, reflect our commitment to supporting locally led action in Asia.

After powerful convenings in New Delhi (2023) and Bangkok (2024), the 2025 edition will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia and will spotlight the region’s leadership, ideas, and solutions at a moment when they matter most, bringing together key stakeholders from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.
