**About the Milken Institute
The Milken Institute is a globally minded, publicly supported, non-partisan, and nonprofit think tank headquartered in Santa Monica, with offices in Washington, DC, New York, London, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore. For the past three decades, the Milken Institute has served as a catalyst for practical, scalable solutions to global challenges by connecting human, financial, and educational resources to those who need them. Guided by a conviction that the best ideas, under-resourced, cannot succeed, we conduct research and analysis and convene top experts, innovators, and influencers from different backgrounds and competing viewpoints. We leverage this expertise and insight to construct programs and policy initiatives. These activities are designed to help people build meaningful lives, in which they can experience health and well-being, pursue effective education and gainful employment, and access the resources required to create ever-expanding opportunities for themselves and their broader communities.

As part of the Milken Institute, the Asia Center seeks to help people build meaningful lives by working to expand equitable and inclusive access to capital, healthcare service, education, and employment for people in the Asia-Pacific region.

For the last ten years, the Milken Institute Asia Center has been expanding the Milken Institute’s mission, work, and expertise to the world’s most populous region. Through its year-round programming and high-level events, the Asia Center has helped to advance the Institute’s mission of accelerating measurable progress on the path to a meaningful life.

Our mission is to partner with the Asia-Pacific’s business, finance, health, philanthropy, and government leaders to ensure that people in the Asia-Pacific have access to opportunities and resources that can enable them to enjoy good health and well-being, and pursue education and gainful employment for themselves, their families, and communities.

We are able to do this through collaborations with Milken Institute colleagues and our wider network of sponsors and stakeholders. We are passionate and intentional about including diverse voices and perspectives of those in the Asia-Pacific, be a neutral platform for insightful dialogue, and elevate the insights that will have a positive impact on regional and global issues.
