As part of Asia Trade Week, on January 12th at 2:30pm HKT/SGT, five expert panellists will come together to examine how companies are overhauling their digital infrastructure in a one hour webinar run by The Economist. | | | | | | How can governments and businesses strike a balance between digital infrastructures that are born global, and trade rules designed in a world where borders and regulatory differences between countries remain? What are the latest changes in laws and regulations relating to digital trade? How will e-commerce be affected? And how can Asia catch up and possibly lead in setting the rules and laws governing digital trade? | | | | Join us for practical industry insights from: | | | |  | Executive director Asian Trade Centre |  | Chief executive The International Digital Health & AI Research Collaborative |  | Chief strategy officer Tata Communications | | | |  | Chief information officer and Vice president Global business services P&G Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa |  | Vice President and General Manager, Digital Solutions, Asia Pacific Johnson Controls |  | Managing editor, Asia, and global editorial lead, trade and globalisation The Economist Intelligence Unit | | | |  | Laurel West Managing director, Economist Events, Asia The Economist Group | | | | p.s. Previous episodes are available on-demand now. | | | | | | Covid-19 has hit trade hard. Trade was growing at roughly twice the rate of global GDP but the shock to supply and demand has massively disrupted global value chains and further exposed the vulnerabilities of the international trade system.
Throughout the week of February 22nd 2021, a global audience and world-class speakers will take stock of what happened in 2020, virtually and in-person. What is the outlook for Asian trade in the next 5-10 years? Should companies rethink their manufacturing bases, supply chains and customer focus? How do unforeseen events such as covid-19 affect global value chains? How are governments and businesses responding? And what are the economic, political and environmental implications?
Join 850+ business leaders; trade negotiators; policymakers; academics and economists for a week of networking and rigorous discussion into the major factors that will shape the future of trade in Asia and beyond. | | | | | | SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES >>> If you are interested in speaking at Asia Trade Week please contact helenalim@economist.com.
