Curious about what this logo represents?

Inspired by the circular trilogy — good ideas, good governance, and good business — this logo symbolizes the power of circular collaboration. Built from interwoven symbolic elements forming the Chinese character "人", it represents people at the center of circular change, driving innovation, policy, and partnerships across all levels. From individual action to collective momentum, circular collaboration begins — and grows — with people.

More on the circular trilogy coming soon — stay tuned.
