To date, IACs have been launched in Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and Indonesia. Members of the IACs bring thought leadership from a wide range of sectors.
The SMU Industry Leaders’ Dialogues are one type of activity that is organised by the IAC and serves as a platform for industry leaders, academia and other stakeholders to share, discuss and debate pressing issues within their local communities.
