De-centralized Economy in Southeast Asia Style. How can we see ASEAN regions being connected in the future?
Date: 27th Feb. 2021
Time: 10:00-17:30
Session time: 13:00-14:00
In this session, we will have all panelists share their point of view on how their business can be a part of a decentralised economy. We purposely gathered players from different industries to talk about the common theme of decentralisation and how it can change our daily lives. Another hope is to bring interdisciplinary players to bring in their expertise to elevate the service to the next level. We have Mr. Kamarul as a moderator with 3 panelists from interdisciplinary fields. We try to dissect the topic from Food and Beverage, Energy and logistics.
