The Summit is supported by founding international sponsor Merrill Lynch, as well as Shinsei Bank, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Marubeni, Mitsui OSK Lines, Heidrick & Struggles, ANA, Mori Building, Orix, Yomiuri, Ashoka Innovators for the Public, Hitotsubashi University, Keizai Doyukai, Cosmo and the Government of Japan

"These challenging times demand collaboration across borders and sectors in order to generate innovative, fresh solutions," said Jason Brand, President of Merrill Lynch Pacific Rim. "The Asia 21 Young Leaders can demonstrate their leadership by using this powerful network to create economic, political, and environmental change. Merrill Lynch looks forward to working with them to balance the demands of the marketplace with the desire to benefit the region at large."

This year's delegates include the New Zealand ambassador to South and North Korea, a Malaysian Member of Parliament, a Bangladesh Supreme Court lawyer, and some of the region's leading social entrepreneurs, journalists, artists, politicians and business leaders with compelling backgrounds and diverse expertise.

The Summit aims to prepare tomorrow's leaders for the challenges and responsibilities of global citizenship, to generate creative, cross-sectoral approaches to leadership and problem solving, to build networks of trust across geographic boundaries, and to educate each other in the highest ideals of values-based leadership.

The Summit participants will join Asia 21's network of 400 past delegates and fellows in 30 countries.
