Founded in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) today encompasses Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. This region of 600+ million people is of critical importance to the United States and the global economy. ASEAN is the world’s 4th largest market, and the United States is ASEAN’s largest source of FDI, while US goods and services trade with ASEAN totaled an estimated $441.7 billion in 2021. More than 6,200 US companies operate in ASEAN (US-ASEAN Relationship, State.gov Fact Sheet, August 3, 2022).
CU Denver’s IIB-CIBER has 25+ years of experience offering FDIB programs focusing on Southeast and East Asia. These programs have served hundreds of faculty participants from the US and abroad, including faculty from community colleges and minority serving institutions. For this year’s program, we have selected the theme of ASEAN Resilience, the opportunities and challenges in the region (particularly Singapore and the Philippines), and its implications for US global competitiveness.
