Keynote Speech

With record levels of unallocated funds, private capital is poised to drive M&amp;A in Asia. But heightened volatility means risk profiles are being reassessed, with implications for valuations, due diligence and deal structuring. What do private capital dealmakers need to know to achieve the optimal balance of risk and return from their Asia-Pacific investments?
This panel will discuss private capital participants&rsquo; views of current market conditions, how that&rsquo;s changing their risk assessment and deal sourcing strategies, and what best practices they should adopt in deal structuring in this new environment.

Building tomorrow's world: The next wave of Asia tech M&A

Networking lunch

The race to clean energy is transforming supply chains, infrastructure and the hunt for assets across the region. Governments have vowed to slash emissions even as the price of interim sources like gas skyrockets, carbon pricing remains a distant prospect, and politics disrupts cross-border co-operation. How can dealmakers prosper from Asia&rsquo;s energy transition?

New power, new prospects: M&A and Asia's energy transition

The global outlook may be uncertain, but one region is bucking the trend. Southeast Asia is a haven of relative calm and fast-rising prosperity, and this is reflected in the buoyancy of its M&amp;A activity. What opportunities and challenges face dealmakers in ASEAN&rsquo;s vibrant growth markets?
We&rsquo;ll look at key opportunities and challenges for dealmakers regionally, drilling down into prospects for some of the most vibrant economies in the region, before introducing some questions for discussion both live and online.
