ASEAN-Japan Center will hold an online conference and workshop “ASEAN Digital Revolution” on 23 March 2022.
ASEAN-Japan Center, in collaboration with the ASEAN Secretariat, promotes a robust economic structure that responds to the COVID-19 pandemic centered on the digital industry in ASEAN. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, as many companies in the ASEAN region review their strategies and business models, the digitization of a series of commercial transactions such as marketing, sales and procurement provides an alternative channel for trade and investment in the ASEAN economy and contributes to recover from the pandemic. In this online event, the panelists will discuss the current state of digitalization in ASEAN and share experiences from Japan on the potential of formulation of new industries centered on digitalization and aim to contribute to a sustainable and resilient economy.
The main target is officers of private companies, public institutions, research institutes who are interested in digitization in the ASEAN region. We look forward to your participation.
