2026: Founding the Next Asia
Resola Hall · Fukuoka, Japan
Our vision
Shape the Voice of Asia
Asia has long been spoken about. It's time for Asia to speak.
Not by displacing existing frameworks, but by contributing what has long been absent: the values, the logic, and the answers that emerge from Asia's own experience.
A world that draws on the full range of human civilization makes better decisions and builds solutions that last.

Location
Fukuoka, Japan
Fukuoka was not a coincidental choice.
For over two millennia, this city on the northern shore of Kyushu has served as Japan's gateway to Asia—a place where diplomats, merchants, and ideas crossed between the continent and the archipelago.
Today, Fukuoka remains that same crossroads: a living bridge between Japan and the rest of Asia, set within an island of extraordinary nature that invites unhurried thought.
We chose this city because the question we are asking—how to shape Asia's next hundred years—deserves a place that has always understood Asia not as a distant other, but as home.
