Our strategists Daniel Blake and Tim Chan discuss how Asia is adapting to multipolar world dynamics, tech innovation and longevity trends to create new opportunities for global investors.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Daniel Blake: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Daniel Blake, Morgan Stanley's Asia Equity and Thematic Strategist. Tim Chan: And I'm Tim Chan, Morgan Stanley Head of Asia Sustainability Research and Thematic Strategist Daniel Blake: Today, how Asia is reshaping its development strategy, corporate governance, and capital markets to lead globally. It's Monday, October 6th at 8am in Singapore. Tim Chan: And it's also 8am in Hong Kong. Daniel Blake: Asia is experiencing a number of dramatic changes that are reshaping industries, even entire economies. Deglobalization, supply chain shifts, frenetic investment in AI and looming disruption from the adoption of the technology, rapid energy transformation, and the transition to super aged populations as longevity drives investment in innovative healthcare and better nutrition are just some of the overarching themes. Asia's transformation is a story every global investor needs to follow and look for opportunities in. Tim Chan: So, what are the overarching themes, when you look at Asia Pacific? For example, what are the key themes that you're seeing in terms of driving the equity return and the market trend that you're seeing? Daniel Blake: We're approaching the Asia thematic opportunity from the framework of a competitive reinvention. It's competitive because this is deeply rooted in the cultural and business norms across much of the region, which has had an export focus through the modernization process in Japan, and more broadly with the emergence of the Asia Tigers. But we're seeing this competition really stepping up another notch. As countries look at how they can take market share in emerging technologies, and also this overarching competition between the U.S. and China, which sits at the heart of the multipolar world theme we've been laying out in recent years. We're also seeing a reinvention of development strategies of corporate governance frameworks and of capital markets to try to better improve the financial supply chain, to see the capital raising the capital allocation process improved and ultimately drive better returns for an aging population. So, Tim, you've been very focused on the corporate governance improvements that were seen in much of the region. Take us through what you think is most compelling and most important for investors to note. Tim Chan: I think governance reforms is a really key thing for Asia Pacific. Take an example in Japan, in the past we have done some correlation analysis between the major governance factors and what are driving the return. What we have found is that, first of all, there is a significant alpha potential from online companies with leading governance metrics and also companies that may improve their governance metrics over time. So, if we look at the independence of board of directors as an example. There is a positive correlation between the total return and also the independence in Japan market. And overall, we are seeing a major government improvement. As Daniel you have mentioned, China, Korea, India, and Singapore, and Japan as well – all these markets together account for over 70 percent of the market cap in MS Asia Pacific in index. So that's why, we think the governance reform is really driving the return of Asia Pacific as a whole. Daniel, after talking about the governance reform and capital market reform, I know multipolar level is also a key theme for Asia Pacific. So, what you are seeing in terms of multipolar level in Asia Pacific? Daniel Blake: So, the multipolar world theme has come back to the foreground in 2025 as trade tensions have risen, as deal making has been struck or attempted. And we've seen the concept of weaponized interdependence really being proven out in the second quarter of 2025, as China has been in recent years, implementing frameworks for export controls and leverage these quite effectively. So economic security initiatives have come back to the focus for investors. Over recent years, we've seen a number being set up across the region, including Japan's Economic Security Promotion Act, the Self-Reliant India framework, and South Korea's Supply Chain Stabilization Act, as well as Australia's National Reconstruction Fund. So, we see a number of investment opportunities flowing from these reforms. Ultimately the critical mineral and permanent magnet supply chain is very much in focus, but we're also expecting to see semi localization. So, semiconductor localization efforts are continuing to drive investment and activity. Naturally, defense has been a key area of focus for investors in 2025, and overall we see defense spending rising in Asia from 600 U.S. billion dollars in 2024 to [$]1 trillion in 2030.So, Tim, the energy security theme fits as part of this overall future of energy theme that you've been exploring with the team. How do you see this intersection with the multipolar world and what are the key investment opportunities? Tim Chan: For the future of energy, I think the energy story is really at the core of Asia multipolar world positioning. Take an example, we are seeing for Southeast Asia, the region is importing gas from U.S., and then also Korea and Japan are also trying to export their nuclear technology to the Western world as well. I think all these have a part to play in the multipolar world; but at the same time, they are also crucial for these countries to meet their own energy target and strategy. In Asia Pacific, when we look at the future of energy, there are a few driving force[s]. One is the very strong growth of renewable energy. Take an example, in India, we are seeing a huge CapEx going into the renewable energy sector and solar sector as well. China is already the biggest market in solar panel. Then also Korea and Japan are developing their nuclear capacity as well. And as I have mentioned, they also export their nuclear technology to the Western world. So, I would say, these Asian countries are balancing the multipolar world priorities with their future of energy target as well. And then there were also lots of opportunities between these dynamics; I will highlight two examples. One is a nuclear renaissance thesis that we have written extensively in the past two years. We have highlighted Japan and Korea being the key beneficiaries under this multipolar world and future of energy dynamics. And then the other would be the gas globalization in Southeast Asia or ASEAN region, where we see opportunities in the gas distributor, gas infrastructure in Southeast Asia. And then gas is going to be much more important when it comes to the energy, security and transition agenda in Southeast Asia region. So we are seeing lots of development in the future of energy in Asia Pacific. But when it comes to the other big theme that is AI. Asia Pacific is also a leader in a global AI race. So, Danny, what are the most reputable trend that you're seeing on a national or regional level? On tech diffusion and AI in Asia Pacific? Daniel Blake: So, the concept of competitive reinvention also is useful in understanding Asia's response to AI and technology diffusion. So, we've seen China in particular, looking to strengthen its position in the development phase of new technologies. And we're also seeing on the export competition front, more incentives to compete for the next phase of supply chain diversification. We're also seeing the emerging class of China MNCs that are sitting at the heart of our China Emerging Frontiers research. And another key area of discussion and research for us is understanding China's unique AI path. Where we're seeing more of a focus on policy makers and corporates playing to strengths in terms of power, data and talent, given the shortages of compute, and at the same time wanting to pursue a localization strategy over the medium term. On the technology front, we think the India stack is also still underappreciated as a digital enabler of opportunities in the New India. And then more broadly, we are looking for companies that we see in Asia that will prove to be AI adoption leaders. So, this underpins a really another key work stream for us in identifying opportunities from AI and tech diffusion into the region. So, Tim, how about when we turn to the theme of longevity, what are the key investment opportunities you see in Asia Pacific? Tim Chan: First of all, let's look at China. So, China is entering a super age society and by 2030, China's elderly population will hit 260 million. So that is a big number, which accounts for 18 percent of the population. And Japan as well, and Korea as well. Korea is already entering the super aged society. And then there have been reform program on healthcare, financial system pension and labor market in order to support these, old aging population. And for Japan, the focus is really on not just living longer but also living more healthy. Take an example, we have done some reports on the healthy food industry in Japan. And how different companies are providing affordable, healthy food to consumer. And we think that will create opportunities for investor, if they would like to look into longevity as a theme. Overall, we are seeing new market in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and affordable healthy food, as well as the reform in the wealth management and pension system that will create opportunities in the financial market as well. And the longevity economy and or the silver economy is becoming a big theme for Asia Pacific for a long time to come. Daniel Blake: Tim, thanks for taking the time to talk. Tim Chan: Yeah, great speaking with you, Daniel. Daniel Blake: And thanks for listening.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITCoffee-scented wake-up calls? We start with a quirky hotel experiment rolling out across Asia Pacific: an alarm clock that swaps buzzers for breakfast aromas like coffee, bacon, blueberry muffins, and regional picks. It's playful and a little provocative—can a smell actually make mornings better, or is it just smart hospitality designed to nudge us toward the free buffet? We unpack the psychology of scent, the realities of travel routines, and why gentle cues can shift a mood even if they don't fix jet lag.From there, we pivot to the hard stuff: how to handle ageist comments with grace and backbone. When neighbors take shots at a 54-year-old for wearing color or riding a mountain bike, the real issue isn't years—it's respect. We workshop clean, dignified replies that shut down the jab without lighting a fire, and talk about choosing your energy wisely in elevators, lobbies, and any other shared space where classless jokes try to find an audience.We also wade into relationship waters where humor crosses the line. What do you do when a partner “jokes” about you in public—calling you dangerous, a shoplifter, or too sensitive? We map a calm, clear boundary plan, why follow-through matters more than a perfect clapback, and when a neutral third party can reset patterns. Finally, we step onto the dance floor: managing jealousy, drunk intrusions, and spotlight partners with simple team signals that keep connection strong and drama low. We wrap by sharing our own first-date story—a two-and-a-half-hour drive for diner stools and grilled greatness—and invite yours.If this mix of travel quirks, social courage, and real relationship tools hits home, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your first-date story in a comment or review.

"There are over a billion copper lines worldwide that will disappear in the next five to ten years," says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. "That's why we built our platform from day one to be global—so our partners can meet this challenge anywhere their customers do business." In the latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Jacoby to discuss the international scale of the POTS replacement opportunity. While the U.S. still faces the conversion of more than 25 million commercial lines, the global market represents an even larger transformation—with more than a billion lines of legacy copper that must be replaced over the coming decade. Jacoby explains that TELCLOUD's success in the U.S. has driven demand abroad, with active deployments now in Canada, Mexico, Germany, the UK, and additional markets in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America. By engineering devices and a platform ready for worldwide deployment, TELCLOUD enables resellers and carriers to address regional regulations, dial plans, and connectivity challenges while still relying on a single global backend. For channel partners, this means two things: Cross-border opportunity – Many customers already operate in both the U.S. and Canada or Mexico, making international coverage a natural next step. Global scalability – TELCLOUD's cloud-native design and partnerships with providers like AWS GovCloud ensure compliance and reliability, even in highly regulated environments. Jacoby also highlighted the broader industry shift away from aging copper toward fiber, wireless, and satellite connectivity, noting that TELCLOUD's mission is to bridge the gap—supporting legacy equipment with modern, resilient infrastructure that delivers long-term reliability. This episode marks the 20th edition of the POTS and Shots series, and Jacoby reflected on the journey so far: “What started as a creative way to talk about technology has become an educational platform that's helping resellers rethink their role in the copper sunset. We're excited for the next 20.” And true to the Shots tradition, Jacoby shared a special tasting from his travels: the Arete Gran Clase Extra Añejo, a four-year-aged tequila brought to Shanghai as a gift for international partners—underscoring the global theme of this episode. Next in the series: “The Hidden Costs of Doing Nothing.” For more information, visit telcloud.com or call 844-900-2270.

In a special episode of the REIT Report, sponsored by Deloitte, a Nareit Platinum Industry Partner, Sally Ann Flood, vice chair and U.S. real estate sector leader at Deloitte, shared some of the highlights of Deloitte's 2026 commercial real estate outlook. Deloitte's survey of more than 850 c-level executives across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific revealed optimism in the sector, with a sentiment index of 65. This marked a slight pullback from last year's high of 68, Flood noted, but is still positive. “We're seeing that leaders still see commercial real estate as potentially a safe investment haven, given its performance during similar periods of uncertainty in the past,” Flood said.According to the survey, 75% of global respondents plan to increase their investment levels in real estate over the next 12 to 18 months. Flood noted that as U.S. trade policy continues to be negotiated, and with a major tax bill now signed into law, “our survey shows the United States as the top market for investment opportunity in the near term, chosen by respondents 53% of the time.” During the interview, Flood also discusses key global property sectors and trends, capital markets and access to financing, AI integration in commercial real estate, and more.

Viral vectors are the backbone of cutting-edge cell and gene therapies, delivering life-altering treatments to patients with genetic diseases. But making these biological delivery vehicles is a high-wire act: unpredictable, complex, and fraught with hurdles that traditional biologics manufacturers have never faced.While the world races toward next-generation therapies, the challenge of producing viral vectors at clinical and commercial scale threatens to leave patients waiting on the sidelines.Our guest on the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast is Lucas Chan, a molecular and cell biologist with over two decades of hands-on experience in cell and gene therapy development. From his formative research at Imperial College London, where he pioneered novel viral vector cell lines, to building the UK's first GMP clinical viral vector core and later founding CellVec Pte Ltd Asia Pacific CDMO in Singapore, Lucas is the go-to architect for manufacturing viral vectors where infrastructure barely exists.Along the way, he's faced and overcome challenges few others could imagine.Here are three reasons this episode is a must-listen:Viral Vectors Demystified: Lucas breaks down a common misconception: viral vectors aren't malignant viruses, but genetically disarmed delivery vehicles that can't revert or replicate, making them safe tools for gene therapy.Manufacturing Mayhem Made Manageable: Unlike monoclonal antibodies and other biologics, viral vectors (and other cell and gene therapies) are made in living cells, leading to a level of process unpredictability and complexity where “everything, everywhere, all at once” applies. Success hinges on scientific acumen and attention to even the smallest detail, from raw materials to equipment parameters, to ensure patient safety and product quality.Pioneering in Uncharted Territory: Moving from London to Singapore, Lucas faced not just technical but regulatory and logistical challenges to founding Asia-Pacific's first CDMO dedicated to viral vectors. His advice: engage regulators early, leverage local biomanufacturing strengths, and build multidisciplinary teams to transfer and scale bioprocess know-how.Curious how viral vector manufacturing can be reimagined to unlock the full promise of cell and gene therapies? Listen to this episode and gain unique insights into the science, strategy, and sheer determination needed to bring advanced therapies out of the lab and into the clinic.Connect with Lucas Chan:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lucaschangtNext step:Book a 20-minute call to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callPreparing for your IND?

On Aon — Episode 92 Title: The Longevity Shift: Rethinking Aging in the Modern Workplace In the latest episode of Better Being, we examine longevity and how it is becoming an important topic for businesses.Susan Fanning, Aon's Head of Wellbeing for Asia-Pacific, and Professor Andrea Maier from the National University of Singapore examine how, as people live longer healthier lives, businesses can foster a diverse and dynamic workplace by harnessing the expertise of older employees. Key Takeaways:The distinction between “healthspan” (the number of years of good health) and lifespan (how long someone lives) is crucial — as is working to reduce the gap between the two.There is a common misconception that aging equals decline. Prof Maier explains that, while most people experience some poor health, much of the aging process is within our control.Employers have a significant role in promoting longevity by adopting proactive approaches to employee health. This includes considering biological age when determining job roles. Experts in this episode:Susan Fanning — Head of Wellbeing Solutions, APAC, Aon (Host)Prof Andrea Maier — National University of Singapore Key moments: (2:15) Some of our lifestyle habits are so poor that they will have a detrimental effect on our health and lifespans. (8:00) Rather than insisting on an abrupt end to a working life, it's better for employers and employees to have a gradual “step-down” process. (14:55) A switch in careers every 20 years or so will open people up to experiences of different topics, different workforces and different ways of working.  Additional Resources:3 Strategies to Improve Career Outcomes for Older EmployeesWorkplace Wellbeing | Aon Soundbites:Prof Andrea Maier:“So I would say it's not only a medical revolution, but it's societal revolution. And there was also a cultural revolution we are changing.” Susan Fanning:So, as we're seeing in terms of healthspans and lifespans increase, we're also starting to see that retirement systems as well as healthcare systems are coming under pressure.

The transformation of major Japanese insurers into genuinely global insurers has been one of the most remarkable long-term changes of the last couple of decades. Today's guest is an embodiment of that internationalisation. Ken Reilly is CEO of Insurance for Sompo in Asia Pacific but boasts a 30-year international career that has seen him work in New York, London, Bermuda and Tokyo. Ken now splits his time between Singapore and Tokyo because, in addition to his APAC role, he now runs Sompo's own Japanese commercial insurance division. This is a really interesting encounter because – swayed by the big numbers, we are often guilty of an over intense focus on the North American and European insurance and reinsurance Markets. In this episode I get to talk to someone who knows that world intimately to show me the nuances of the Asia Pacific market through the eyes of a global business that has been in some of those markets for 50 years. Ken is a great guest and this is a very refreshing and enlightening interview. Listen on for the dos and don't of Asia-Pacific expansion and a lot more besides.

In the winter of 1610 Johannes Kepler was crossing Prague's Charles Bridge when he noticed a snowflake land on his arm. Why, he asked, are all snowflakes six-cornered? "I do not believe," he wrote, "that even in a snowflake, this ordered pattern exists at random." 400 years later, we have part of the answer. Snowflakes are made of water molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of quarks and electrons - which might be made of superstrings - all held together by forces of nature described by quantum theory. But how does such delicate beauty emerge from such abstract simplicity? Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe - the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace the cosmic web - to Earth's interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain - from black holes to snowflakes - we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity. How did a quarter of a million-year-old species of great apes on one small planet amongst trillions orbiting around a middle-aged star in an average galaxy figure all this out, guided by curiosity, mathematics and an aesthetic sense of symmetry and beauty? And what might we become if we can hold onto the ideas of the enlightenment so successfully developed and deployed by Kepler and his contemporaries and successors - ideas that have allowed us to begin to read the story of the Universe and carried our spacecraft to the edge of the solar system and outwards to the stars. Professor Brian Cox said: "I've loved creating Emergence - it's the most ambitious live show I've ever written. I've been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about." Brian has worked with a world-leading team of creatives for Emergence. Graphics and visual effects have been created in collaboration with Emmy Award winning director Nic Stacey and digital artist Erik Wernquist, and branding is by Peter Saville CBE, the renowned art director known for his original work with Factory Records. Brian has appeared in many landmark science programmes over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to worldwide hit series The Planets to his most recent landmark series Solar System, which has become one of the best watched science series of the last decade.

"85% of AI use cases are being evaluated by the engineer who built it saying, 'yep, seemed to work pretty well.' If you're gonna build a system that's going to be critical to the business, that's going to be important that it gets it right, then you can't do that without evaluations." - Craig Wiley Fresh out of the studio, Craig Wiley, Senior Director of Product Management at Databricks who leads Mosaic AI, joins us to discuss the forefront of enterprise AI from model development to deployment at scale. Beginning with his career journey in ML operations, Craig explained how he recognized the critical connection between data and AI layers that could deliver order-of-magnitude acceleration in development cycles. Emphasizing the transition from classical ML operations to LLM operations, he showcased how Databricks' unified platform eliminates training-serving skew through data lineage capabilities and supports both fine-tuning and RAG approaches depending on industrial use case requirements. Highlighting compelling customer success stories including Suncorp's employee productivity platform and AstraZeneca's transformation of 400,000 clinical trial documents into queryable insights, Craig revealed a striking reality about enterprise AI evaluation - that 85% of AI use cases are being evaluated only by the engineers who built them, reinforcing that proper evaluation frameworks remain foundational for trustworthy AI implementation. He concluded by introducing Agent Bricks as Databricks' evaluation-centric approach to building production agents, emphasizing that model flexibility and rigorous testing are essential for enterprises moving from experimentation to production, while sharing his vision that the industry must evolve from the "year of agents" to the "year of evaluation and quality."

"I think the biggest trap to potentially fall into is, "Hey, it's moving so fast, so much is changing. Let's just wait it out." Completely the wrong approach. You just gotta get started." Nick Eayrs from Databricks "As tech people within the shipping industry, how do we explain, how do we make it accessible to all our users? So that's where we came up with the idea of a data supermarket, with in mind really the target of enabling self-service for our business. So by giving the analogy of a supermarket, it was much easier at the beginning to explain our business." - Simon Fassot from Hafnia Fresh out of the studio, Nick Eayrs, Vice President of Field Engineering for Asia Pacific and Japan at Databricks, and Simon Fassot, General Manager and Head of Global Data and Analytics at Hafnia, join us to explore how data intelligence is transforming enterprise AI across diverse industries in Asia. Nick explained the fundamental distinction between general intelligence and data intelligence - emphasizing how enterprises gain competitive advantage by training AI on their proprietary data rather than public knowledge. Nick showcased customer success stories including Standard Chartered Bank and TechComBank and shared his perspectives on how senior executives can take advantage of AI by moving fast rather than wait and see. Last but not least, Nick offered what great would look like for Databricks in Asia Pacific and Japan in serving their customers. Adding the lens of the customer, Simon shared Hafnia's transformation from legacy SQL Server systems to a unified Databricks architecture serving their global shipping operations and elaborated on how the company is breaking down silos with their data supermarket and "Marvis" AI copilot for maritime operations based on retrieval augmented generation. This is Part 1 from Databricks Data + AI Event Singapore.  Episode Highlights: [00:00] QOTD by Nick Eayrs and Simon Fassot [00:49] Introduction: Nick Eayrs from Databricks [03:32] Customer obsession means deeply understanding their business context [05:22] Data intelligence versus artificial general intelligence explanation begins [06:42] AI trained on your data creates competitive advantage [08:17] Only 15% of companies have correct AI infrastructure ready [11:17] Don't wait for AI perfection, just get started now [12:30] Agent Bricks simplify AI development using natural language [13:49] Standard Chartered Bank cybersecurity use case with SIEM [16:22] TechCom Bank in Vietnam customer brain with 12,000 customer attributes [18:32] Shared responsibility model for ethical AI deployment [25:24] Asia Pacific psychology focuses on future, not past [26:28] Most important question: How do you get started?
