Grow Asia

Grow Asia is a multi-stakeholder partnership platform established by the World Economic Forum and ASEAN in 2015 to cultivate inclusive, resilient, and sustainable food systems across Southeast Asia. The organization brokers commercial and non-profit partnerships among 700+ global and regional entities—including public agencies, private companies, civil society, academic institutions, and farmer organizations—to advance four thematic areas: agri-food innovation, women's economic empowerment, responsible investing, and climate resilience. Operating through a regional secretariat in Singapore, five country chapters, and 44 working groups, Grow Asia facilitates knowledge sharing, collaboration, and policy change across ASEAN's agricultural landscape.

Grow Asia operates a collaborative, mission-driven work environment centered on multi-stakeholder engagement and systems-level impact. The organization attracts professionals passionate about sustainable agriculture, economic inclusion, and climate action, offering opportunities to influence food security policy and practice across a critical global region.

For APAC job seekers, Grow Asia represents a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of agriculture, sustainability, and development in Southeast Asia. The organization's accreditation as an Entity Associated with ASEAN and its extensive network of 770+ partners make it a strategic hub for professionals seeking to drive transformational change in the region's food systems and support smallholder farmers.
