Exclusive event for the brightest business minds in the ASEAN region

FACE, in collaboration with the ASEAN Economic Forum, is proud to present an exclusive networking event tailored for business leaders across Southeast Asia. This highly anticipated event is set to take place on September 20 at the Waldorf Astoria.

The event promises to bring together the region’s most influential CEOs, founders, and investors for an evening of dynamic pitches, strategic networking, and unparalleled business opportunities.

In partnership with prominent multi-chamber organisations, including the Swiss Chamber, British Chamber, New Zealand Chamber, and La French Tech, this edition of FACE is a testament to the power of regional collaboration. The event is designed to foster meaningful connections among the leading business minds of Southeast Asia, offering a unique platform for founders to present their businesses to a distinguished audience of investors, venture capitalists, fellow founders, and angel investors.

Each founder will deliver a 5-minute pitch, followed by audience voting to determine the most promising venture. The winning founder will receive an exclusive opportunity for a direct 1-on-1 meeting with the judges, mentors, and a leading venture capitalist from Singapore, offering invaluable insights and potential investment opportunities.
