Asia House is the UK's centre of expertise on Asia. It drives economic and political engagement between Europe and Asia by providing a forum for international decision makers, business leaders and opinion formers to engage in high level discussions that direct business and political strategies.
The current CEO is Michael Lawrence and the Chairman is Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint.
Asia House organises private briefings with senior political and business figures from Asia and the West. The briefings offer a unique opportunity to engage decision-makers in frank, off-the-record discussion and connect with other companies with Asian commercial interests.
Asia House also offers advice and insights into economic policies, particularly relating to trade and investment between Asia and the UK. The organisation offers support to multinational companies with their government relations in Asia and offers advice on bilateral relations with the UK.
Asia House produces publications that focus on commercially-relevant issues and are distributed to leading corporate and political figures, companies, governments, diplomatic missions, the media and academic institutions globally. In 2016, Asia House published Asia 2025, which looks at the next decade in Asia. Some of the most influential thought leaders in and experts from Asia contributed their forecasts for the region for the book including international government figures, academics, CEOs and chairmen from some of the world’s leading multinationals.
Recent events include briefings with President Joko Widodo of the Republic of the Indonesia; Cesar Purisima, Philippines Secretary of Finance; The Hon Steven Ciobo MP, Australian Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment; H.E. Liu Xiaoming, China's Ambassador to the UK; Inga Beale, Chief Executive, Lloyd's of London; Paddy Ashdown, former leader of the Liberal Democrats; Lê Lương Minh, Secretary-General of ASEAN for 2013-2017; and Chimediin Saikhanbileg, former Prime Minister of Mongolia.
