Gateway Partners, the emerging markets manager, is hosting its Investor Forum 2025 in Singapore on April 27 & 28. The forum will bring together prominent policymakers, business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and other luminaries from across the world. The objective is to showcase Gateway’s investment footprint – Africa, Middle East, South and Southeast Asia – and its interaction with the rest of the world.
Gateway is convening its Investor Forum at a crucial juncture for the global economy. While growth remains strong in our markets and is projected to remain healthy, there are headwinds developing due to the introduction of tariffs, restrictions on foreign direct investment, the rise of AI, and a world still feeling the impact from two conflicts. Overall, we strongly believe that Gateway’s geographies are well-positioned to manage the headwinds and continue to grow due to favourable headwinds underpinned by demographics, rising urbanisation, consumption, and affluence.
The themes and topics we will be exploring at the Investor Forum include:
- The Global Economic Outlook
- The Rise of AI, other technologies, and its economic impact
- Fireside Chats with business leaders from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East
- Regional Focus on our footprint – Africa, Middle East, and South and Southeast Asia
- A Focus on energy transition and critical minerals
- Showcasing our portfolio companies
