SINGAPORE — Welcome to CNBC’s live blog on the first day of CONVERGE LIVE in Singapore, where global business leaders, investors and key policymakers will share ideas about what it means to innovate and grow across industries.

Some of the top speakers on Wednesday’s agenda include Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Alibaba Chairman Joe Tsai.

For the first time, Dalio and Benioff will join each other on stage from around 9:25 a.m. Singapore time (1:25  a.m. London time/9:25 p.m. ET). The industry titans will discuss the global economy, stock markets and how they see artificial intelligence impacting the world.

The AI theme will also be front and center during a fireside at 10:15 a.m Singapore time with Alibaba’s Tsai, who will discuss the Chinese e-commerce giant’s outlook and strategy. Notably, Tsai is also poised to share his views on Alibaba’s new AI model, which it claims surpasses rival DeepSeek.

Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Kim Yong Gan Schneider Electric Chairman Jean-Pascal Tricoire are also among those due to speak on Wednesday, when topics will range from the rapid rise of AI and its implications for sustainability, global capital flow trends and corporate leadership in a disrupted world.

CNBC’s inaugural CONVERGE LIVE event comes shortly after a nervy start to the week on Wall Street, with investors increasingly concerned that a global trade war could dent U.S. economic growth and trigger a recession.
