Deloitte, the world's largest accounting and consulting firm, announced on the 28th that it has been selected as the official knowledge partner for the 'APEC CEO Summit Korea 2025,' which will be held in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province from October 28 to 31. This marks the first time that Deloitte has been chosen as the official knowledge partner for the APEC CEO Summit.
The APEC CEO Summit is a major side event of the APEC Summit, which brings together leaders from 21 member economies, including the United States, China, Japan, and Russia. It is the largest annual business forum in the Asia-Pacific region. Over the past three years, global big tech companies such as Google, Meta, and Microsoft, as well as Fortune Global 100 companies like Citigroup, ExxonMobil, and Johnson & Johnson, have participated in the summit. This year, more than 1,000 global business leaders and high-level officials from APEC member economies are expected to attend.
The theme of this year's forum is 'Bridge, Business, Beyond,' and discussions will focus on key global agendas in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) and digital, bio and health, finance and investment, sustainability, and regional economic integration.
As the official knowledge partner, Deloitte will play a central role in setting the summit's agenda, leveraging its global expertise in AI, digital, and sustainability. In addition to delivering keynote speeches, Deloitte will participate as a panelist in major high-level sessions to share in-depth insights by sector.
Furthermore, Deloitte plans to publish an insight report based on a survey of CEOs from APEC member economies, providing strategic implications linked to the summit's key agendas. In addition, Deloitte will establish a dedicated brand space at the event venue during the summit.
David Hill, CEO of Deloitte Asia Pacific, stated, "We are greatly honored to participate as the official knowledge partner for APEC CEO Summit Korea 2025," adding, "At this summit, the convergence of AI and sustainability will be addressed as a core agenda, representing a significant turning point for the future direction of business and the creation of social value."
Lee Sungwoo, Head of the APEC CEO Summit Korea 2025 Organizing Committee, said, "We welcome the selection of Deloitte as the official knowledge partner and expect that our collaboration with Deloitte will elevate the level of discussion at the summit," adding, "Together with Deloitte and various other corporate partners, we will drive new connections and collaborations for sustainable growth and shared prosperity."
Hong Jongseong, CEO of Deloitte Korea, remarked, "It is especially meaningful that Deloitte has been selected as the official knowledge partner for APEC CEO Summit Korea 2025, a major side event of the APEC Summit," emphasizing, "Deloitte Korea will make every effort, together with the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to ensure the successful hosting of the summit."
