Synopsis: In 2011, the Asia Business Council -- together with Time magazine and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy -- ran an essay competition among 18-30 year olds across Asia, asking them what they saw as Asia's biggest challenges over the coming decades -- and what were their proposed solutions. The results were published in a book, Through the Eyes of Tiger Cubs: Views of Asia's Next Generation, offering a unique glimpse into the younger generation's view of Asia's future. It drew on the perspectives of more than 80 visionary young Asians, who identified the key issues and who saw innovative solutions for areas as diverse as education and labor markets, demographics and healthcare, energy and the environment, and governance and geopolitics. Today's panel will be moderated by the book's co-author, Janet Pau. Speaking on the panel will be participants of the Israel-Asia Leaders Fellowship and the NUS Enterprise program in Israel from Korea, India and Singapore -- all of whom are active in promoting Israel-Asia relations. The next generation has a high stake in ensuring Asia's long-term growth. Through this panel, the audience will gain a unique perspective on how the leaders of tomorrow see the challenges facing the continent and what innovative solutions they propose to solving them.
