This week's Forum is part of the 成人快手's Power of Asia Season and looks at innovation as the world is moving East.

Can countries from China to Singapore and the Philippines become 21st Century hubs of innovation, places where new kinds of products and services, new brands develop? Three centuries ago, China helped Europe to innovate - can it do so again?

Around our global table, we have Poh Kam Wong, a Singaporean entrepreneur and professor of business studies, globally successful Philippine designer Kenneth Cobonpue, and Chinese writer and documentary filmmaker Sun Shuyun.

Illustration by Emily Kasriel: rays of enlightenment, rights and freedom illuminating innovation.
