The event in Seoul, South Korea, gathers ideas and solutions for a brighter future beyond the pandemic
Angkas CEO and co-founder George Royeca, who is a 2020 Gen.T honouree, is set to speak at the Asian Leadership Conference (ALC) in Seoul, South Korea from July 13 to 14. This year’s conference curates ideas and solutions for a post-pandemic world that “defies the odds”. Sessions during the two-day conference include discussions on Southeast Asia as a geopolitical battleground, the globalisation of Asian content, and ethics in the metaverse.
Royeca says he finds it “a great honour” to be alongside global changemakers, including keynote speakers former US First Lady Michelle Obama and economist Jeffrey Sachs. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky is also listed as a speaker.
The CEO, who speaks on the first day, will discuss how adaptability is key to improving lives. In the Philippines, Royeca’s motorcycle ride-hailing platform has been instrumental in improving mobility as its fleet of 27,000 bikers decreases commuting costs and travel time.
Most recently, he launched Angkas Motorsports in partnership with Ducati Philippines. Apart from supporting motorbike racers in international tilts, the program champions safety, emphasising how motorbike racing belongs on the track and not on public roads.
