Grow Asia is a multi-stakeholder platform established in 2015 by the World Economic Forum and the ASEAN Secretariat to cultivate more inclusive, resilient and sustainable food systems in Southeast Asia.

We do this by brokering commercial and non-profit partnerships between the 600+ global and regional public, private, civil society, academic and farmer organizations that make up the Grow Asia Network, creating an ecosystem that supports knowledge sharing, collaboration, innovation and policy change. 

Regional Programs

Our work coalesces around four regional programs.

Grow Asia comprises:

The regional Grow Asia Secretariat in Singapore; six Country Partnerships, each supported by an
in-country team; and 44 Working Groups, organized around specific cross-cutting issues (e.g., agri-finance) or value chains (e.g., coffee).

In 2020, Grow Asia was accredited as an Entity Associated with ASEAN due to the important role we play in the region, particularly in facilitating multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable agriculture development.
