GATEWAY TO ASIA
Asia-Pacific today accounts for 44% of global GDP, as per an IMF report, and its shift towards digital is powering the region towards a new era of economic growth and redefining the region’s social landscape. Echoing this, Paul Marriott, senior VP of digital core solutions, SAP and ConnecTechAsia Summit speaker said, “Asia is an exciting region with its rapid digitalisation and growth. Enabling enterprises in their journey towards digital evolution, to be at the frontier of their respective industries is a core focus for us. ConnecTechAsia has been a great platform for us to build key relationships with governments and global businesses to foster greater collaboration and innovation.”
