December 10, 2018: Myanmar SME Workshop
(Ubud) - Strategies for realizing opportunities that emerging technologies bring, the challenges they present, and how governments should be preparing for these technologies were the key themes in meetings between the US-ASEAN Business Council (US-ABC) delegation and ASEAN Telecommunications and IT Ministers over the past three days. The meetings took place in Ubud, Indonesia from December 4-6 as part of the annual ASEAN Telecommunications and IT Ministers Meeting (TELMIN).
IN an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven world, all governments face challenges and opportunities in deciding what investments and policies should be implemented today to encourage innovation while protecting its people and ultimately, developing the best possible societies for tomorrow.
As ASEAN nations continue their individual socio-economic journeys with the aspiration of collectively building a regionally integrated and globally connected ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) with the potential of becoming the fourth largest economy in the world by 2050, the over 150 member companies of the US-ASEAN Business Council (US-ABC) look forward to continuing our longstanding partnership with ASEAN.
