Welcome to the Q1 edition of APAC Insider magazine, your quarterly source for all of the latest news and updates from across the Asia Pacific region.

As we make our way into the new year, the economic outlook for the APAC region is anticipated to remain bright. Following rapid expansion over the last 12 months, it is forecast to continue on as the speediest-growing region of the world economy in 2024. Expected to contribute to this are resilient domestic demand in East Asia and India, improvement in East Asian exports, restoring of electronics exports, further strong growth in new electric vehicles (EVs), and the continued recovery of tourism to pre-pandemic levels in many countries.

Indeed, the APAC region is in a solid position, making it a true hub for business, and we are delighted to be showcasing our award-winning enterprises that are thriving there – from an electronics and battery etailer, to a premium pet food supplier and distributor, from a real estate law firm, to a business and economics educator, from an experiential events management company, to a long drive sports organisation.

This issue is packed with flourishing businesses that are each playing their own part in the ever-blossoming success of the APAC region. We hope you find each of their stories to be insightful and inspiring, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon for our Q2 issue. Here’s to a fantastic quarter ahead.
