The two-day agenda spans four dedicated thematic tracks designed to address critical trends in regional private capital markets. Day 2 programming centers on growth, technology, and private markets dynamics. The summit opens with a welcome address from Joji Thomas Philip, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of DealStreetAsia, followed by a marquee 9:25–10:15 am panel titled "Sovereigns, AI and Global Scale: Southeast Asia's New Capital Stack." This session brings together Minette B. Navarrete (Kickstart Ventures), Chua Kee Lock (Vertex Holdings), Amit Anand (Jungle Ventures), and Rohit Agarwal (Peak XV Partners, formerly Sequoia India & Southeast Asia), examining how sovereign wealth flows and artificial intelligence are reshaping regional investment architecture.
Subsequent programming highlights AI's strategic importance to the GP community. A fireside chat features Dr. Shaojie Shen, CEO of Zhuoyu Technology, discussing AI-driven innovation trajectories, while a substantive 11:05–11:50 am session titled "The AI Test for GPs: Underwriting Disruption, Transforming Portfolios and Proving Value to LPs" assembles Dr. Basil Lui (August Global Partners), Yi Pan (Neuberger Berman), Charles Allen (TPG Asia), and Amit Sachdeva (Carlyle AlpInvest) to address how GPs are integrating AI into deal sourcing, portfolio management, and LP communication. This programming signals an industry-wide acknowledgment that AI-driven underwriting and portfolio optimization have become competitive imperatives for institutional investors.
Beyond formal sessions, the summit curates six side events—including invite-only dinners, breakfasts, and mixers—designed to facilitate candid conversations among senior LPs, GPs, and founders. These structured networking opportunities complement the main conference agenda and enable deeper relationship building within Asia's private capital ecosystem.
