Destination: GOOD – ASEAN Social Enterprise in Kuala Lumpur

AirAsia Foundation is holding its first public event titled ‘Destination: GOOD – ASEAN Social Enterprise in Kuala Lumpur’, which will take place on 7th Nov 2015, and tickets for the event are available from airasiaredtix.com at three price-tiers of RM80 (Conference & Marketplace), RM50 (Student) and RM10 (Marketplace Only).

The event, organised in partnership with ThinkCity and MaGIC Social Entrepreneurship, will be a full day affair comprising a Conference and Marketplace to feature top entrepreneurs such as Richard Eu, Group CEO of Eu Yan Sang International Ltd of Singapore; Shinta Kamdani, CEO of Sintesa Group of Indonesia and Vichien Phongsathorn, Group CEO of Premier Group of Thailand; and some of the most innovative social enterprises in the region.

This conference marks the coming into force of the ASEAN Economic Community and Malaysia’s Chairmanship of ASEAN and aims to discuss the future of entrepreneurship in ASEAN and how big businesses and social enterprises play complementary roles in making economic systems more equitable, sustainable and inclusive.

AirAsia Foundation is also proud to announce that the foundation is the first corporate entity to be accredited as an ASEAN Civil Society Organisation by the regional association in May 2015.

“AirAsia has always been about greater ASEAN integration. This time, we are bringing people together to talk about entrepreneurship and how it can be applied to address social challenges in our region. We will share how we are applying inclusive values into our business and extending our networks to support social entrepreneurship growth,” said AirAsia Group CEO Tony Fernandes, who is also a Trustee of the Foundation.

There will also be a total of 30 innovative ASEAN social enterprises in a Marketplace hall where each organisation will showcase their businesses that address a range of goals from heritage conservation to wildlife welfare. Attendees will be able to interact with the social entrepreneurs and purchase ethical products and services in support of their causes.

Among the highlights at the Marketplace are AirAsia Foundation grantees including award-winning Rags2Riches, Inc. from the Philippines; Jogjakarta traditional silversmiths label group, Selaka Kotagede; and Khmer traditional arts organisation, Cambodian Living Arts. The Marketplace will also see exciting environmental and wildlife conservation initiatives from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
