After four editions of the South Asia Convening, we believe the moment is right to expand our vision. In 2026, ANDE South Asia and ANDE East and Southeast Asia bring our regional efforts together to launch the ANDE Pan-Asia Convening—a new platform designed to reflect the increasingly interconnected realities of entrepreneurship across the Global South.
As a South–South connector, ANDE is creating intentional space for ecosystem builders from across Asia to learn from one another, collaborate across borders, and co-create solutions to shared challenges. By convening investors, intermediaries, policymakers, and practitioners from diverse emerging markets, the Pan-Asia Convening will unlock new pathways for cross-regional partnerships, knowledge exchange, and investment flows, strengthening entrepreneurship ecosystems at scale.
