The two-day forum will bring together senior leaders from U.S. capital markets, global exchanges, private capital, technology and critical resources, reflecting the growing convergence of capital markets, geopolitics and supply-chain strategy across the Asia-Pacific region.

Designed for issuers, investors and advisers, the forum will focus on U.S. market access and cross-border dealmaking at a time when equity issuance is recovering, private capital is expanding across APAC, and governments are increasingly aligning policy around strategic technologies and critical minerals.

Beyond the keynote participation of Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, the forum will feature senior decision-makers spanning public markets, institutional capital, private wealth, resources and frontier technology – sectors now central to boardroom and investor discussions globally.

The forum takes place amid growing coordination between the United States and allied economies across Asia-Pacific on technology, critical minerals and supply-chain resilience, including initiatives such as the U.S.-led Pax Silica Declaration. As policy alignment increasingly shapes capital allocation across strategic industries, issuers and investors across the region are reassessing how capital is raised, structured and deployed globally.

Against this backdrop, the forum’s cross-sector speaker mix reflects a clear reality: capital access and execution now sit at the intersection of markets, policy, strategic resources and technology.

Kayla Hardy, Partner of Hall Chadwick (Hong Kong), said the forum is designed for decision-makers navigating a rapidly changing global capital landscape.

“We’re seeing a reset in how capital is raised and deployed globally, particularly across strategic industries and emerging technologies. The U.S. Capital Access Forum is about practical insight and execution – bringing together market leaders who understand both the opportunities and the complexities of operating across borders.”
