DigitalxADB: Driving Digital Development Across Asia and the Pacific 2021

Digital technologies are today’s most powerful drivers of change. DigitalxADB aims to raise awareness and build broad consensus within ADB to continue focusing on the digital opportunities that lie ahead in a world reshaped by COVID-19.

This event is designed to help ADB’s people and partners learn more about the digital technologies that are being brought to the forefront of our operations, investments, and work.

Week 1 of DigitalxADB

Digital infrastructure underpins our modern economy, workplace, government, and society. As the rest of the world becomes more digitally dependent, expanding digital infrastructure in developing members is critical in achieving inclusive and sustainable post-pandemic recovery.

This Week session explores how developing members could take ownership of their digital futures by critically reviewing financing strategies, policies, and business models
