The Eighth ASEAN Inclusive Business Forum 2025 (11–12 September 2025), organised by The Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development (MECD), brought together policymakers, inclusive businesses, social enterprises, and impact investors under the theme “Navigating Inclusivity and Sustainability.”

From powerful keynotes to dynamic panels and networking, the Forum spotlighted how ASEAN is shaping a business ecosystem that leaves no one behind.

One standout moment was the Gala Dinner on 11 September, where 10 trailblazing inclusive businesses—each representing an ASEAN Member State—took the stage to receive the ASEAN Inclusive Business Awards 2025. Delegates also toured the ASEAN Inclusive Business and Social Enterprise Showcase, a vibrant space spotlighting enterprises that are reshaping communities and creating lasting impact across Southeast Asia.
