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?

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.
