About AGX

AGX is an “invite-only” innovation community where senior managers and directors can join, focusing on boosting cross-border business, innovation, and transformation in international companies. It’s a down-to-earth space for open chats, tackling shared issues, and finding real solutions. You can learn from others dealing with similar market changes, skip the theory, and dive into practical experiences. Plus, you’ll interact with specialists who encourage discussions among people with hands-on experience. No long-winded speeches here—just straightforward, practical conversations to help everyone stay ahead in Asia, one of the most exciting growth areas for many global companies. We convene sessions virtually and as in-person breakfasts or evening mixers in Shanghai, Singapore, Munich and Zurich.
