Established in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2014, the Center for Asia Leadership is a group of non-profit international organizations that addresses public needs and problems in Asia through research, development, training and publication initiatives in the areas of public leadership, entrepreneurship and education in Asia. The birth of our center was sparked by the hope of connecting the vast educational resources at Harvard University with individuals and organizations in Asia who are working to address the core challenges of the 21st century.

Our mission is to assist and empower individuals, organizations, and governmental bodies to play more active and meaningful leadership roles in their communities. We strongly believe that Asia will be the driver of next opportunities for the world, and thus, seek to help Asia become better understood in the international community by helping individuals and communities in this region face its challenges, identify opportunities, and turn downsides to upsides for their own well-being, with the end goal of promoting prospects for democratic, thriving, and just, modern societies.

In the midst of a power shift to Asia, we recognize that a responsible and engaged Asia is of critical importance to the world with respect to fostering sustainable growth, peace, and prosperity. Countries in this region increasingly face complex political, economic, and social challenges that will transform their society for good or ill.

We believe that any form of business should broaden its value creation approach by incorporating economic and societal values. In this regard, we exist to serve as a platform that supports individuals and organizations to address their leadership challenges and advance their social and economic conditions.

Selected programs are supported in part by the Harvard University Asia Center, an interdisciplinary research and education unit of Harvard University, and run in collaboration with the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, one of Southeast Asia’s largest education-focused social enterprises.
