Under the Philippines’ 2026 ASEAN Chairmanship and its theme “Navigating Our Future, Together,” ASEAN is prioritizing collective action to build a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable regional economy. The ASEAN Investment Forum (AIF) serves as a high-level platform to mobilize investment in support of ASEAN’s shared development agenda.
As one of the key outputs under the Philippines’ priority economic deliverable — “Greener Future: Implementation of the Regional Investment Promotion Action Plan (RIPAP) 2025–2030” — the AIF advances the Chairmanship’s focus on sustainability-driven growth and regional cooperation, highlighting opportunities that support RIPAP’s implementation and reinforce ASEAN’s commitment to climate-aligned, innovation-led development.
Building on RIPAP 2025–2030, the 2026 AIF showcases investor-ready opportunities that advance the region’s energy transition, strengthen regional value chains, and attract private capital at scale.
As ASEAN’s flagship platform for promoting the region as a unified investment destination, the AIF plays a central role in attracting sustainable, high-impact foreign direct investment — bringing together policymakers, investors, industry leaders, and development partners to present concrete opportunities and strengthen regional cooperation.
