M360 ASEAN CEO Roundtable

This is an invtation-only Closed-Door Executive Roundtable.

Executive Summary and Convening Imperative

The next phase of APAC mobile growth will be determined not only by network investment, AI adoption, or the Telco-to-Techco transition, but by whether the industry can converge on a shared responsibility for digital trust. As MNOs pursue new growth engines and AI-powered operating models, trust has become a strategic precondition for market expansion, enterprise adoption, regulatory confidence, and sustained consumer engagement.

National economies, critical infrastructure, enterprises, and citizens are now hyper-dependent on digital networks. At the same time, systemic outages, AI-enabled scams, cyber threats, and fragmented trust responses are intensifying expectations on operators. This creates a clear Digital Trust Paradox: individual networks may be technically secure, but industry growth is vulnerable if users, enterprises, and governments do not believe the wider digital ecosystem is
safe, resilient, transparent, and accountable.

This closed-door CEO Roundtable will ask industry leaders to move beyond isolated compliance, defensive security, and market-by-market responses. The convening imperative is to define how MNOs can collectively embrace responsibility for digital trust—through common principles, shared signals, trusted infrastructure foundations, and visible leadership—so the industry can protect its licence to operate, unlock new enterprise and consumer opportunities, and secure its long-term growth trajectory.
