ASEAN Critical and Emerging Technologies Digital Summit and Masterclass
Critical and Emerging Technologies will transform economic competitiveness, national and international security as well as democratic governance and social cohesion. These new technologies are often enabled by, and reliant on, information that is created, stored, and transmitted through digital networks.
Hosted by Standards Australia with the support of the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the ASEAN Critical and Emerging Technologies Digital Summit and Masterclass is a two-day virtual event, bringing together leading Critical and Emerging Technologies (CET) experts with ASEAN-based standards developers, policymakers, industry, and business professionals, as well as future leaders to reinforce the importance of the adoption and development of standards with the advancement of Critical and Emerging Technologies (CET) across South-East Asia.
