We are merchants of experience who gain knowledge, intercontinental travelers
connecting worlds with friendship.

We are a community of thinkers, investors, entrepreneurs, and agents of change.

We uncover industries and concepts at the precipice of change: overlooked or misunderstood investment ideas, secular growth and sociological trends, and the hidden forces shaping our lives.

The New Silk Road Forum began in 2017 in Almaty, Kazakhstan, when a group of global investors took two days together to discuss opportunity and risk in off-the-beaten-path stock markets.

Since that time, the New Silk Road Forum has evolved into a community that includes globally-minded leaders in startups, corporates, government, academia, and the arts. These persons seek lasting impact from their influence. As our community has grown, we have held events in London, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Baku, New York, and Jackson Hole.

Today, the New Silk Road Forum hosts an annual plenary gathering along the Silk Road, and smaller satellite events around the world. The 8th NSRF will take place in İstanbul, September 25th-27th, 2024. We are preparing a fascinating few days of learning, fun, and connection.

We emphasize the importance of generous knowledge exchange, sharing insights to enhance our understanding and abundance. At our summits, the line between speakers and participants is purposely blurred. With a collective desire to challenge conventional thinking, we uncover industries and concepts at the precipice of change. These ideas come in the form of overlooked or misunderstood investment ideas, secular growth and sociological trends, and hidden forces shaping our lives.

We commit to these values, aiming to enrich each other’s lives and positively impact the world. Together, we write a story of progress, partnership, and friendship.
