Agenda
Digital trust as the foundation of ASEAN’s connected future
Securing people, platforms, networks and digital services to enable inclusive, resilient and cross-border digital growth
ASEAN is entering a critical phase of digital economy integration. As the region advances digital trade, cloud adoption, AI-enabled services, digital payments, e-commerce, public service delivery and cross-border data flows, trust is becoming one of the most important foundations for sustainable digital growth.
Digital trust is now a core economic and infrastructure priority. Citizens must trust digital services enough to use them. Businesses must trust digital channels enough to invest in them. Governments must trust that digital transformation can scale without creating systemic vulnerabilities. Operators and technology providers must be able to innovate within policy frameworks that are proportionate, interoperable and aligned across sectors.
For ASEAN, this is especially important. Regional digital integration will depend not only on connectivity, but also on confidence: confidence in networks, identity systems, payments, platforms, data flows, cybersecurity, AI-enabled services and cross-border digital interactions.
Day 1 - Wednesday 9 September 2026
Scaling digital trust into regional digital integration
Day 2 of M360 ASEAN 2026 will build on the Day 1 Digital Trust Summit by shifting the conversation from trust as a foundation to integration as the next frontier.
As ASEAN advances towards deeper digital economy cooperation, the region’s next phase of growth will depend on its ability to connect national digital strategies into a more interoperable regional digital market. This will require trusted policy frameworks, investment-ready infrastructure, cross-border data governance, AI-ready networks, cloud and compute capacity, secure digital services and stronger partnerships across the wider Asia-Pacific.
Day 2 will therefore focus on how ASEAN can move from digital ambition to trusted implementation. The programme will explore how policy harmonisation can reduce fragmentation, how advanced networks and digital infrastructure can power regional competitiveness, and how AI, cloud, data and edge ecosystems can support the next wave of digital growth.
