SOUTH-EAST ASIA (PRNewswire): ARC Group will host the Capital Markets and M&A Forum 2026: Malaysia Edition in Kuala Lumpur, marking the fourth year of one of South-East Asia's most established platforms for capital markets and cross-border dealmaking.
The forum will take place on May 7, 2026, at EQ, Equatorial Plaza, Kuala Lumpur, bringing together senior leaders from across the region's financial ecosystem.
Following a landmark 2025 edition that welcomed more than 500 senior executives, investors, legal advisors, and industry leaders, the 2026 forum builds on over a decade-long legacy of insight, dialogue, and collaboration. As global markets continue to evolve, this year's Kuala Lumpur edition will deliver an even stronger focus on growth strategy, capital formation, and cross-border opportunities across Asia and beyond.
Designed for founders, C-suite executives, investors, and professional advisors, the forum provides a curated, off-the-record environment where decision-makers can exchange ideas, build meaningful relationships, and explore strategic opportunities in an increasingly interconnected financial landscape.
Now in its fourth year in Kuala Lumpur, the Capital Markets and M&A Forum continues to serve as a cornerstone gathering for Southeast Asia's financial and corporate leadership community.
The forum will feature keynote presentations and panel discussions led by senior industry professionals, addressing the trends shaping public and private capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and international expansion strategies.
Speakers will include Hiren Krishnani, Senior Director at Nasdaq, who leads capital markets activities across the Asean region. Drawing on extensive experience advising companies on IPO readiness and investor engagement, he will share insights into navigating global capital markets and positioning companies for successful listings.
Additional sessions will explore the intersection of entrepreneurship, capital strategy, and international expansion, highlighting Southeast Asia's growing importance as a hub for cross-border investment and long-term value creation.
