In addition to these challenges, the entire Asia is on a journey of transformation. The Arabian Peninsula is on top of this trend with its journey --from an oil-based economy to a diversified one. The UAE's iconic economic event, Investopia 2025, goes a long way in this regard. Investopia is a new investment platform to facilitate global collaboration between investors, business leaders, and governments to identify and launch new investment opportunities, promote economic growth, and incubate future economies in the region and the world. The event also echoed a strong buzz in the technology industry. According to a report by Meticulous Research, the global Digital Transformation Market size, which was worth $695.5 billion in 2023, is projected to achieve a market size of $3,144.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 24.1 percent from 2024 to 2030. On the other hand, such futuristic events also help to collaborate between Asian countries. For instance, a few months ago, the Deputy Minister for Taiwan's National Development, Kao Shien-Quey, opined that the scope of collaboration between India and Taiwan in areas of emerging and critical technologies, including the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronics equipment, is huge. Subsequently, the Taiwanese companies are getting ready to build their plants in India with huge investments as a part of their China plus one strategy. With the recently granted approval for a $1 billion boost to the Apple India plant, Foxconn has now invested more than $2.7 billion in India. This special issue of CEO Insights Asia is dedicated to the resilient business leaders in Asia. We welcome your thoughts on this initiative.Sujith VasudevanManaging Editoreditor@ceoinsightsasia.comCollaboration is the Key to Prosperity
