About the Event

ICT LEADERSHIP | CAPABILITY AT SCALE | ADVANCED SERVICE DELIVERY | ORGANISATIONAL CYBER UPLIFT

FSTGov’s first foray into the government developments across the Southeast Asian region is set to shed a light on the digital innovation and pipelines that are not only modernising each nation individually, but also show notable levels of transnational cooperation unique to the association that enable strategic delivery.

Held where many consider the digital hub of the APAC region, the Inaugural FST Government ASEAN Summit 2023 in Singapore will trace the shift from a sector that solely focused on ICT – mainly infrastructure, telecommunications and network security – to one that now incorporates a total digital economy and society transformation.

As digital technology grows in both adoption and complexity across Asia, consultative dialogue among key stakeholders – which vary from regulators, industry disruptors and private sector entities – is of the utmost importance for the growth and future of the region and will be a key talking point as FSTGov expands its global reach.

This executive think tank will bring together over 80 technology, digital, data and security leaders primarily from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, with some representation from further afar, including Hong Kong, Vietnam and The Philippines.

This exciting new event follows the proven model of our hugely successful portfolio across Australia and New Zealand with presentations, panel discussions, roundtable discussions and exhibition space to ensure maximum engagement with decision makers from across government.
