The 2026 Asia Visionary Summit marks the inaugural edition of what will become an annual gathering in the Kingdom of Bhutan. From its first year, AVS has established itself as a space where leaders of deep value alignment come together to engage the civilisational questions of our time: the future of prosperity, the role of technology, the stewardship of nature, and the moral responsibilities of leadership.

The Summit is part of Bhutan’s own national journey, reflecting the Kingdom’s unique contribution to the world through mindful development and values-based progress. It is also part of Asia’s wider journey, as the coming century increasingly becomes Asia’s century, calling the region not only to lead economically, but to help shape a more balanced, compassionate, and future-ready world.
