In 2021, the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) – together with Curated Connectors, a Singapore based start-up – hosted a webinar series to discuss how innovation, start-up creation, and entrepreneurship at large are contributing to shape the post-pandemic recovery. The discussions in each episode of the webinar series brought in innovators, ‘start-uppers’, and entrepreneurs from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its Dialogue Partners as well as experts from international organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), foundations, and policymakers. This report summarises the key messages and trends that arose from the first half of the webinar series.
ERIA's Chief Economist Prof Fukunari Kimura gave a presentation on inter-regional trade integration during the second session of the High-level Symposium on Intra-ASEAN Trade and Investment: Enhancing Intra-ASEAN Trade and Investment for a Cohesive and Responsive ASEAN held in Hanoi on 10 January 2020. Prof Kimura showed how intra-ASEAN trade flows are at good and stable level but nevertheless there is room for expanding these flows. He also explained how trade is changing in ASEAN and at global level: from more traditional forms of trade to trade linkages enabled by international economic networks and driven by digital technologies.
This report summarises the key messages that emerged during the first five episodes of the ERIA MSME Talks, a series of webinars designed to discuss key issues, challenges, and opportunities for ASEAN MSMEs in the COVID-19 world, with a diverse group of stakeholders including entrepreneurs, policymakers, academics, and experts from the region. This report details some of the building blocks for the development of more sustainable and inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystems during the post-pandemic economic recovery in ASEAN.
Tractus Indonesia Country Representative, Daniel Bellefleur, presented at Asia Business Connect’s The Road to AEC & Mekong Region 2015 and Beyond: Key Legal, Tax & Business Aspects for Investment conference at the Landmark Hotel Bangkok. The conference attracted potential investors interested in expanding across Southeast Asia to take advantage of the differing competitive advantages and growth potential. Daniel gave an in-depth presentation on Indonesia’s current investment climate and how the largest ASEAN economy compares to its regional counterparts. Moreover, Mr. Bellefleur gave an update on Indonesia’s new investment incentives and stimulus packages aimed at improving the overall business operating environment. While Indonesia’s economy slowed in 2015, the Jokowi administration is looking to put the frameworks in place to put economic growth back on the right track. By building desperately needed infrastructure and cutting red tape, the archipelago may become one of the most interesting nations to invest in globally.
A bright future - What is the future for air transport technology & empowerme...SITA
Africa is moving from a $2 trillion economy today to a $29 trillion economy by 2050. Household incomes will increase sevenfold. Foreign direct investment has poured in from China but also from Europe, America, Australia, Canada and India. Substantial expansion of the internet infrastructural links from Africa to the rest of the world have given a massive boost to connectivity. Mobile has been a major factor of change: sub-Saharan Africa is the world’s third largest region, behind Asia Pacific and Europe.
Africa’s air transport sector is responding with a growing
number of low-cost carriers beginning to address the long-standing need for improved intra-African connections.
Problems related to safety, regulation, liberalization and costs remain, but there is an increased determination to address these issues urgently – and provide the infrastructure and resource that will be sought by an increasingly affluent and travel-hungry population.

Presentation on "ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015: Impacts & Benefits to Thailand’s Academic and Technology-based Business Sectors" at Biotechnology Business and Regulations Seminar
overview เรื่องประชาคมเศรษฐกิจอาเซียนที่จะเกิดขึ้นเป็นทางการในปี 2015 ความสำคัญ ผลกระทบ ข้อดี ข้อเสียและ แนวทางการเตรียมการรับมือที่ภาคเอกชนและภาคการศึกษาของไทยควรจะต้องให้ความสำคัญและปรับตัวเพื่อให้ได้รับประโยชน์สูงสุด
With conditions in the developed markets of Europe and North America likely to remain weak in the near term, business is increasingly looking to Asia for growth. Growth will not be uniform across sectors or even within them. Which subsectors will see the most dynamic growth? And what will drive it? Exports? Domestic sales? Technology? Innovation? Rising consumer incomes? What should companies be thinking about as they plan their Asia strategies for the next five to ten years?
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), sponsored by InvestKL, developed the “industry dynamism” barometer to measure the resilience and growth potential of six industry sectors across Asia.
ASEAN is increasingly becoming a vital economic force in Asia and a driver of global growth with a young, abundant workforce. Simultaneously, the region is witnessing significant productivity improvement in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, telecommunications and transportation.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) Adding up Growth Opportunities for ASEANAbhinav Singhal
Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is currently at a technological and economical inflection point with potential to re-invent and disrupt the ~$12 trillion global manufacturing sector. Manufacturing is also at the center of the ASEAN economy driven by its cost competitiveness accounting for more than 20% of the region’s GDP and employing nearly 50 million workforce.
However, AM has potential to disrupt traditional manufacturing cost structures and supply chains and give an equal opportunity to advanced economies to close their competitiveness gap and move manufacturing nearer to the end consumers. This poses a risk for ASEAN to fall behind and ASEAN needs to act now to secure its place in the age of Fourth Industrial revolution.
However, very little empirical research exists on the current status of AM in ASEAN (i.e., status of current adoption, leading markets & sectors, opportunities) leaving policymakers and business leaders without any guidance to best prepare for the future.
thyssenkrupp recognized this gap and assembled a multidisciplinary team of experts to construct a comprehensive perspective on the state of AM in the region and its implications for policymakers and businesses going forward. This builds on our rich working experience in the region over the last 150 years, our deep AM technology expertise in Mulheim, our recent set-up in Singapore, and the knowledge of our experts and our partners from EOS and NAMIC across the whole AM value chain.
This whitepaper provides a rich evidence base for policymakers and business leaders seeking to understand, analyze and invest in AM in ASEAN. The paper is structured along three chapters keeping in mind the diverse interest of various stakeholders:
• For business leaders: Chapter 1 provides a detailed overview of the AM market and its potential across ASEAN countries; while Chapter 3 lays down a systematic approach to analyze AM value chain and develop a commercially attractive business model
• For policy makers: Chapter 2 outlines the overall economic opportunity from adopting AM in ASEAN and the impact it can create across various aspects of the economy from trade, social development, job creation to sustainability
• For AM enthusiasts: Appendix 1 provides a brief overview of the technology and its applications today
We invite you to study the findings of this whitepaper and we look forward to partnering with you in driving your AM priorities for the region.
A report published by The Economist Intelligence Unit finds that nearly 60% of IT, technology and telecoms firms in Asia think that their interests are not considered when governments conduct FTA negotiations. Nevertheless, 94% of companies in these sectors say that the FTAs they are using have boosted their exports to corresponding markets.
These are among the key findings of Growing together? Free trade and Asia’s technology sector, the third in a series of reports sponsored by HSBC that examines Asian businesses’ attitude towards FTAs and usage of their provisions. The report is based in part on the findings of a survey conducted in the first quarter of 2014 that included 123 information technology and telecoms companies across eight Asia-Pacific markets: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
Technology executives interviewed for the report say governments and trade policy remain oriented towards “traditional” sectors like manufacturing and agriculture, historically the main sources of employment and generally more activist in trade matters. Many executives also feel existing agreements have done little to promote change or harmonisation in the areas where technology firms see the biggest barriers to international expansion—such as intellectual property protection, e-commerce and rules governing the use of data. Some 76% of Asian IT and telecoms firms want governments to sign FTAs with more comprehensive provisions.
Most technology firms (67%—the highest proportion of any industry in the broader survey) also support a return to multilateral negotiations via the WTO. This implies a high degree of support for the currently stalled talks on the expansion of the WTO Information Technology Agreement (ITA). Technology firms seem to have lower expectations for the major trade initiatives currently being pursued at the regional level, such as the ASEAN Economic Community and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Asia Corporate Strategy Assessment – 10 Trends in Corporate Strategic Plannin...Team Finland Future Watch

The ASEAN FinTech Census is a research initiative undertaken by EY to understand the key factors shaping FinTech and to bring to the forefront the voice of 251 FinTechs
highlighting key areas of growth, opportunities and potential challenges and an analysis of FinTech’s responses on revenue growth, capital requirements, regulatory support, operating environment and plans for future expansion. The study includes information from a financial, human and regulatory standpoint.
Decades of economic growth and development along with better governance and nutrition-specific programmes had lifted hundreds of millions of people in Asia out of poverty, as well as starvation and malnutrition. However, due to the uneven development, while a large segment of Asian's population had changed their eating habits to over-nutrition diets and worrying about lifestyle diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart diseases, there are still some countries and regions suffering from lack of nutrition. For example, childhood malnutrition and stunting is still prevalent in South Asia, one Indian survey found that 21% of children suffer wasting, and a further 7.5% of children suffer it severely.

Digital platforms and services stimulate economic growth and development. Countries are looking to the “internet economy” to provide new market opportunities and help achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as promoting economic growth and sustainable industralisation, a process often relying on an increase in online access rates and smartphone penetration.

Internet connectivity has proven to be one of the most profound enablers of social change and economic growth of our time. Beginning with fixed narrowband internet connections and moving through successive generations of increasingly pervasive and powerful networks, connectivity has come to underpin our working and personal lives, empowering businesses to operate more efficiently and with wider reach. In turn, connectivity has sparked and fuelled countless new industries, products and services that are coming to define our modern age. Connectivity has proven to be a vital ingredient for business success.
This report examines the burden of lung cancer in Latin America and how well countries in the region are addressing the challenge. Its particular focus is on 12 countries in Central and South America, chosen for various factors including size and level of economic development: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
In the cyber world, many are attacked but not all are victims. Some organisations emerge stronger. The most cyber-resilient organisations can respond to an incident, fix the vulnerabilities and apply the lessons to strategies for the future. A key element of their resilience is governance, a task that falls to the board of directors.
To learn more about the challenges of governing a cyber-resilient organisation, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducted a global survey, sponsored by Willis Towers Watson, of 452 large-company board members, C-suite executives and directors with responsibility for cyber-resilience.
Among the findings:
-In the past year, a third of the companies surveyed experienced a serious cyber-incident — one that disrupted operations, impaired financials and damaged reputations — and most placed high odds on another one in the next 12 months.
-Many companies lack confidence in their ability to source talent and develop a cyber-savvy workforce.
-Executives cite the size of the financial and reputational risk as the most important reason for board oversight.
Artificial intelligence (AI) will profoundly affect the ways in which businesses and governments engage with consumers and citizens alike. From advances in genetic diagnostics to industrial automation, these widespread changes will have significant economic, social and civic implications. As such, Intelligent Economies explores the transformative potential of AI on markets and societies across the developed and developing worlds.
This report, developed by The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Microsoft, draws on a survey of more than 400 senior executives working in various industries, including financial services, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing,
retail and the public sector. Survey respondents operate in eight markets: France, Germany, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Thailand, the UK and the US.
As businesses generate and manage vast amounts of data, companies have more opportunities to gather data, incorporate insights into business strategy and continuously expand access to data across the organisation. Doing so effectively—leveraging data for strategic objectives—is often easier said
than done, however. This report, Transforming data into action: the business outlook for data governance, explores the business contributions of data governance at organisations globally and across industries, the challenges faced in creating useful data governance policies and the opportunities to improve such programmes.
It wasn’t long ago that a work meeting meant gathering around a table to discuss an agenda. These days you may be using Slack, Hangouts or other digital collaboration platforms that blend messaging with video and allow real-time editing of
documents. Even with these tools, communication at work can still break down, potentially endangering careers, creating stressful work environments and slowing growth.
A survey from The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Lucidchart reveals some of the perceived causes and effects of these communication breakdowns. The survey, conducted from November 2017 to January 2018, included 403 senior executives, managers and junior staff at US companies divided equally and from companies with annual revenue of less than
US$10m, between US$10m and US$1bn and more than US$1bn. The survey research provides insights about what employees see as the biggest barriers to workplace communication, the causes of the barriers and their impact on work life. Complete survey results are included at the end of
this report.
Successful young entrepreneurial innovators have achieved something akin to rockstar status. They grace magazine covers and keynote global conferences, inspiring burgeoning
start-ups and Fortune 50 companies alike.
Collectively, young entrepreneurs are innovative by nature and their thinking is an important source of growth and job creation across the world. Today, with digital tools in hand, leaders are better positioned to expand their businesses across borders, seize niche opportunities and shape the global economic future.
Yet, most of today’s young entrepreneurs want more than status and a global corporate footprint. Their ideas of success arise from powerful social, political and economic convictions.
To find out what really makes young innovators tick, The Economist Intelligence Unit, sponsored by FedEx, surveyed more than 500 of these young entrepreneurs around the globe about their motivations, ideals and priorities. Our survey respondents were between 25 and 50 years of age and all founders, owners or partners of firms with fewer than 500 employees. They are living in North America, Europe, Middle
East, India and Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. We surveyed them on matters of globalization, technology and social values.
We then compared their views with a similar survey of the general public in the same regions. Side by side, these surveys enabled us to differentiate the outlooks of today’s young and innovative entrepreneurs.
Our surveys identified four key mindsets that guide young entrepreneurs: leading with passion; thinking globally; embracing social responsibility; and banking on connectivity. This report explores the similarities and divergences of today’s young entrepreneurs and the general public. It seeks insights into the elements of the business environment that matter most to entrepreneurs, as well as their views on a variety of issues including free trade and social responsibility.
Education systems across the world are grappling with the challenge of preparing their students for the rapid changes they will experience during their lifetimes. To this end, schools have a critical role in equipping students with the requisite skills and
competencies that will be in demand, particularly as digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly transform businesses and influence economies. In this report, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) discusses the results of a study that explores how to best prepare primary and
secondary school (referred to in this report as “K-12”) students for the 21st century workplace (“the modern workplace”), where
a mix of hard and soft skills are crucial for success. The research, sponsored by Google for Education, draws on a survey of 1,200 educators in 16 countries.1 It looks at the
strategies most effective in developing 21st century skills and how technology can support such efforts.
Gone are the days when marketing chiefs focused solely on the classic 4Ps: Product, Price, Promotions and Place - they now must take an integrated approach to drive company goals.
Corporate and shareholder sentiment towards MA has rebounded since the dark days of 2008. Low borrowing costs have coaxed many new buyers, including acquisitive Chinese conglomerates, into the market. The prices of prized assets have risen accordingly. It remains a sellers market in technology-driven deals, particularly in the consumer-goods, financial services, and media and telecommunications sectors.
Corporate treasury is now a top target for cyber-criminals. Treasury’s trove of personal and corporate data, its authority to make payments and move large amounts of cash quickly, and its often complicated structure make it an appealing choice for discerning fraudsters.

In today’s low-yield and regulated environment, many Asia-Pacific investors are more actively monitoring their portfolios with a willingness to increase turnover and shift asset allocations for higher returns.
Asia-Pacific institutional investors are struggling to balance long-term liabilities with the need to secure yield in a world where it is increasingly scarce. They are also in the world’s fastest-growing region that has no shortage of volatility. How are they achieving returns while managing risks?
How are institutional investors in North America adapting to increasingly complex risks? Are these risks driving investors to make portfolio changes based on short-term goals or are they making tactical moves to stay focused on long-term objectives?
Political risks and the search for yield are pushing some North American institutional investors toward more tactical decisions. Investors are focused on reallocating to equities and using alternative investments to mitigate risks.
How are EMEA investors responding to changing macroeconomic and regulatory environments, stakeholder objectives and pressures, and market conditions? Based on a survey of 200 institutional investors in the region, this report takes a detailed look.
