An initiative of Brisbane City Council, the three-day Asia Pacific Cities Summit (APCS) drives economic growth for Brisbane - South East Queensland Australia and the wider Asia Pacific region. Held biennially, the host city alternates between Brisbane and bidding international cities. The 2011 APCS was held in Brisbane, and in 2013 the Summit will be held in Kaohsiung from Monday 9 to Wednesday 11 September 2013.
In its 16-year history, the APCS has become one of the region's premier business and civic forums. In recent years the Summit has been used as a springboard for businesses and global cities to gain entry into the rapidly growing Asia Pacific markets.
Under the theme 'Reshaping the Urbanomics of Cities – City Challenges and City Solutions', the 2013 APCS will focus on business growth, trade, investment and economic for participating delegates and sponsors. Attendees will gain access to a wide range of international business and civic leaders and enjoy a diverse and entertaining program including tailor made business matching and speeches from internationally recognised leaders.
