Sector or technology-specific summits and roundtables will also convene the people building, using and regulating technology to meet, debate and co-create ASEAN’s digital future. These include:
- Digital Trust: As scams, fraud and cyber threats continue to grow, leaders from across ASEAN will explore how governments and industry can strengthen trust in the digital economy. Sessions will examine how trust drives confidence, participation and inclusion, before turning to the foundations of resilient Digital Nations, including trusted infrastructure, economic continuity and societal resilience.
- Digital Healthcare: Speakers from The Connected Health & Community Care Accelerator (CHACCA), including Global Health Connector (GHC), GSMA, and NUHS, in addition to experts from leading regional hospitals, academia, policy, and regulation, will convene to share high-value digital health uses cases and discuss the practical requirements to deploy them safely at scale.
- NTN: As non-terrestrial networks move beyond early trials, this session will examine the commercial, technical and regulatory factors shaping deployment across Asia Pacific. Discussion will focus on hybrid connectivity models and the partnerships required between mobile, satellite and technology providers to expand coverage and strengthen network resilience.
- Manufacturing & Production: This session will examine how manufacturers are building the foundations for data-driven operations, AI-enabled manufacturing and more integrated, efficient industrial environments.
