In a time of unprecedented digital transformation landscape, ASOCIO stands at the forefront of driving collective initiatives across Asia Pacific. As Chairman, I am pleased to present MADE (Mapping ASOCIO Digital Economy), a new tagline that also serves as a strategic initiative that exemplifies our shared commitment and vision to include growth, innovation, value creation, and our regional collaboration.
MADE is more than a tagline or a theme. It is our strategic compass aimed at helping our member economies to understand their local digital strengths, identify areas of opportunity, and navigate a clear path toward economic growth and impact through technological development and collaborative initiatives within the member economies.
By understanding the digital maturity landscape, MADE opens up borders to bridge our digital ambition, creating a positive impact and turning them into measurable results, which includes nations, corporations, communities, and the tech talent at large.
MADE represents ASOCIO’s unwavering focus on creating value through:
- Clarity — helping members visualize their digital journey with precision and purpose
- Connectivity — fostering partnerships that transcend borders and sectors
- Capability — enabling the growth of future-ready talent and resilient digital ecosystems
- Collaboration — bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, innovators, and communities to co-create business exchange opportunities and keeping sustainable progress & growth
- Communities – building dependable platforms to bridge businesses across the region
As we move forward, ASOCIO will continue to champion our shared vision with MADE, through our strategic initiatives, combining vision and actions, ensuring that every member economy not only keeps pace with global change but also shapes the future of the digital economy within ASOCIO.
Together, we are not just participants in the digital era, but we want to join the ranks of global digital architects in creating an impactful future economy for all concerned within ASOCIO and beyond.
Sincerely,
Mr Stan Singh - Jit
