From the established hubs of Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore to emerging destinations across Southeast Asia and India, Asia remains at the centre of innovation, creativity and opportunity for luxury players worldwide.
This October, Nikkei and the Financial Times will return for another landmark gathering of the region’s foremost business and creative leaders, at the Business of Luxury Summit – Asia Edition. Held over two days at the multi-award-winning Capella in Bangkok, the Summit will once again bring together senior executives, investors, entrepreneurs and industry experts to explore the forces reshaping the sector, and discuss strategies for success in a competitive and complex market.
