Panel topics include: prosperity and risk in the Asia-Pacific region, Asia's new crop of political leaders, and the prognosis for health innovation in Asia.

"With our new, Singapore-based Asia Center, and in hosting the first of what will be annual Asia Summits, we hope to make a contribution of dynamic ideas to match the region's economic dynamism."

Held at Singapore's Four Seasons hotel, the Asia Summit is an invitation-only event, limited to 280 participants who include senior executives in finance and investment as well as top leaders in other key growth industries.
