Overview
Asia House is a London-based independent think tank and advisory service that promotes economic and political engagement among Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. It runs a business and policy programme, an advisory service, and a cultural programme (including the Pan-Asia Film Festival and Festival of Asian Literature), backed by in-house research and a fellowship for early-career policy work. The organization convenes high-level dialogues, provides tailored research and market intelligence to leaders, and funds activities through corporate memberships, partnerships, and sponsorships. Its goal is to deepen understanding and strengthen ties across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East by informing policy and business strategy and promoting cultural exchange.
