APAC’s regulatory, geopolitical and technological environment is becoming more volatile and fragmented than at any point in the past decade. Accelerating cyber mandates, expanding data-localisation requirements, shifting geopolitical alignments, supply-chain vulnerabilities and fast-moving AI rules are all driving a broader and more intense regional risk landscape. For regional and multinational organisations, this means navigating not only a rapid increase in the volume and variability of new rules, but also the operational, reputational and financial exposure that comes with misalignment or delay. Senior leaders must interpret a dense and constantly evolving set of compliance demands while sustaining growth, protecting talent, and executing long-term strategy across a collection of markets that are anything but predictable. As firms expand, the layers of complexity compound, and so does the need for trusted, real-time insight tailored to the APAC environment.

This FT and Thomson Reuters event convenes some of the most authoritative voices in business leadership, regulation, risk governance, technology and academia to decode the pressures and turning points that will define 2026 and beyond. Across interviews, fireside conversations and expert panels, experts will discuss the forces reshaping risk, explore the technologies and tools that offer the clearest path to compliance and operational clarity, and examine the governance strategies required to stay ahead of accelerating change. Designed for decision-makers, this programme delivers practical intelligence, strategic foresight and the confidence needed to turn uncertainty into resilience, adaptability and competitive advantage.
