Digital innovation part of ASEAN 2045

Asean is reinforcing its commitment to a seamlessly connected region through the Asean Connectivity Strategic Plan, which now places digital innovation and technology adoption at the heart of its long-term goals. 

According to the plan, the strategic goal for digital innovation is to achieve a community with continuous digital innovation and enhanced cybersecurity, advancing payments and financial markets’ connectivity, and efficient cross-border flow of information.

“Asean’s digital economy is growing rapidly, and to unlock the region’s digital economic potential and promote digital inclusion, adopting and integrating frontier technologies — such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data — is essential.
