AVPN Global Conference 2026: A Blueprint for Action in Asia

As Asia’s economies ascend to greater global prominence, sustainable and inclusive models of development that balance growth with equity are more necessary than ever. Building on last year’s legacy of collective action, the 2026 Conference moves from highlighting the need for Asian leadership to showcasing the blueprints for it. Held in India for the first time, the nation’s transformative Viksit Bharat Vision 2047 presents a bold, people-first blueprint. We will explore how India’s unique model of social development powered by cross-sector collaboration, innovative capital, and digital innovation alongside other pioneering development models in Asia, can serve as catalytic frameworks for development in the future.

The AVPN Global Conference 2026 will be the largest gathering of social investors, designed to turn ambition into action. The 2025 Conference in Hong Kong set a new attendance record, with over 1550 delegates from 50 markets. Expecting to bring an audience of more than 2000across 45 markets, the 2026 Conference marks a catalytic moment to examine successful development models both in India and throughout Asia, adapt their lessons, and drive action towards a shared future for Asia that is not only prosperous but inclusive, resilient, and sustainable for all. 

This conference edition will convene heads of state, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and civil society leaders from India and beyond. Stakeholders from AVPN’s network across 43 markets will come together to foster deep engagement with Asia’s impact ecosystem. Cross-pollination of ideas, capital, and partnerships will help scale Viksit Bharat-aligned initiatives and strengthen India’s role as a global hub for innovation and development. 

Conference 2026 Goals & Objectives 

As Asia’s largest social investment event, Conference 2026 aims to: 

• Foster High-Level Collaboration: Convene heads of state, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, and civil society leaders to co-create solutions that align public priorities with private innovation. This is key to advancing the Viksit Bharat vision, from poverty eradication to universal healthcare and education.
• Create Space for Co-Creation: Go beyond traditional panels; AVPN’s participatory sessions, roundtables, site visits, and action labs enable Indian stakeholders to shape the agenda, co-design content, and lead regional conversations. This is a platform for real-time collaboration, investment, and replication.
• Enable Global-Local Exchange: Leverage AVPN’s network across 43 markets to foster deep engagement with India’s impact ecosystem. Cross-pollination of ideas, capital, and partnerships will help scale Viksit Bharat-aligned initiatives and strengthen India’s role as a global hub for innovation and development.
