Feeling lost in the maze of international business? The Asia Business Leaders Advisory Council (ABLAC) is here to light the way! Established in 2016 by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, this elite group brings together top-tier business leaders from Asia and Canada.
ABLAC's mission? To boost business connections between Canada and Asia. They're all about spotting chances to make trade and investment easier.
Mark your calendars: ABLAC will be gathering in Singapore on February 9, 2026. This annual meeting is a powerhouse for networking and creating new business ventures.
But here's where it gets interesting: ABLAC isn't just about making deals. It's also a strategic advisory group. They offer insights and advice to Canadian decision-makers, including folks from the federal and provincial governments. Their goal? To strengthen Canada's game plan in the Indo-Pacific region.
And this is the part most people miss: The event is strictly 'by-invitation-only'.
