Through the week starting February 22, 2021, the global audience and world-class speakers took stock of what happened in 2020, scrutinising the changing patterns of global trade, looking at the trade community through a critical lens and assessing how businesses are dealing with economic, political and environmental issues. The programme included a series of online discussions as well as physical and in-person events from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai to dive deep into the major factors that will shape the future of trade in Asia and beyond.
