Founder of Insight Legal Advisors (Laos), Ms. Kinnalone Chanthavong, attended the 10th ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Carnival 2025, held from 15 to 16 October 2025 at the MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The event was organized by the Malaysian Young Entrepreneurs Association (MAYA), the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Council (AYEC), and Majlis Belia Malaysia (MBM), under the theme “Connecting ASEAN, Creating Global Change.”

Representing both Insight Legal Advisors (Laos) and the Young Entrepreneurs Association of Laos (YEAL), Ms. Kinnalone joined fellow Lao delegates and hundreds of young entrepreneurs from across the ASEAN region and beyond, including participants from the wider Asia-Pacific such as Japan. The two-day carnival served as a platform for cross-border networking and the exchange of ideas on innovation, leadership, and sustainability in the evolving ASEAN business landscape.

Throughout the event, speakers and panelists shared thought-provoking insights on how innovation, technology, and the creative industries can strengthen ASEAN’s development and connection with the global community. The discussions also highlighted the importance of leadership, resilience, and the growing influence of women entrepreneurs in shaping the region’s future.

Through engaging sessions and meaningful interactions, the event built connections among entrepreneurs from diverse sectors and encouraged collaboration to enhance ASEAN’s collective voice and presence on the international stage. Participation in the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Carnival 2025 offered valuable opportunities for ILA Laos to engage with regional business leaders, explore emerging trends, and deepen cross-border relationships within the ASEAN entrepreneurial community.
