The Center for Innovation and Sustainability in ASEAN (CISA) is an independent research institution based in Singapore. The establishment of CISA strengthens our commitment to providing insightful, impartial, and high-quality analysis on matters of regional and global importance for decision-makers, academia, and the general public.
We envision a world in the mid-21st century illuminated by peace, compassion, and sustainable prosperity across regions and countries. Our passion lies in discovering enlightened solutions—turning old enemies into friends, transforming historically rooted conflicts into deeply respected ties, converting insurmountable disputes into decisions fostering productive partnerships, and elevating poverty and backwardness into sustainable, inclusive prosperity. We aspire to make the transformative journey from ‘third world to first’ a realistic achievement within a single generation across ASEAN countries.
