Domain Summit Asia 2025 brings together domain investors and industry professionals from across the Asia-Pacific region in Hong Kong on November 17-18, 2025. The two-day conference has established itself as the premier gathering for domain investment activity in the APAC markets.
The summit serves as a critical networking platform for domain investors, registrars, end-user brokers, and industry stakeholders focused on the Asia-Pacific region. As domain investment continues to evolve globally, regional events like Domain Summit Asia provide specialized focus on market dynamics unique to Asian economies and digital landscapes.
Hong Kong’s selection as the host city reflects its strategic position as a major financial hub and gateway to Asian markets. The city’s connectivity, business-friendly environment, and central location make it an ideal meeting point for investors traveling from across the region and internationally.
Regional Focus and Market Opportunities
The conference attracts participants from major domain markets including China, Japan, Singapore, Australia, and emerging Southeast Asian economies. The Asia-Pacific region presents distinct opportunities and challenges for domain investors, from premium numeric domains favored in Chinese markets to local ccTLD investments across diverse economies.
China’s influence on global domain investment remains significant, with Chinese investors actively acquiring premium numeric domains, short letter combinations, and strategic brand-related names. The summit provides opportunities to understand these market dynamics and connect with investors and brokers serving Chinese end-users.
Southeast Asian markets, including Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia, represent growing opportunities as digital transformation accelerates across these economies. Local businesses increasingly recognize domain value as they establish online presence and compete in digital marketplaces.
