PROPEL ASEAN 10th Edition · Hanoi, 1 December 2026

The session

Decisions, not presentations

Which city problems will actually get funded — by whom, with what instrument, and starting when?

Eighty to a hundred C-suite leaders and city decision-makers meet in a closed room for one afternoon. Nobody presents a product from the stage.

Thirty city mayors from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam set out their urgent urban challenges and state the support they need. Rotating cohorts of C-suite executives move between the war tables every 70 minutes.

The session opens the ambition to develop 100 Digital Liveable Cities, supported across the Association's eleven Wisdom Councils. It closes with the 10th Edition celebration and an actionable findings report.

City leadersMayors, vice-chairs and city CTOs from seven ASEAN markets, each with their own challenge.
