.png){kind=spacer}
Over the past decade, cloud computing has revolutionized how people and organizations work around the world by democratizing access to technology, affording organizations of all sizes with access to a plethora of digital tools, as well as the security and sustainability benefits of the cloud. Cloud computing is the foundational enabler of the digital transformation of governments, businesses and organizations of all sizes; the new normal in the pathway for innovation.
Today, governments, public sector organizations, not-for-profits, universities, small and medium enterprises, and enterprises of all sizes across Asia innovate better, faster, and more cost-efficiently through the cloud. There is an opportunity to foster a deeper understanding between desired policy outcomes and the role of cloud across different sectors.
Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are hosting a series of Policy Webinars around digital policy and digital transformation with the cloud. This Policy Webinar series is a multi-stakeholder dialogue that will bring together policymakers, regulators, think tanks, academia, industry, and other key stakeholders to explore how the cloud and forward-thinking, pro-innovation digital policies can accelerate the digital transformation journey of nations. It will focus on enhancing our collective understanding about the cloud, its benefits, and the policy best practices for digital transformation through the cloud.
The upcoming webinar will be a deep-dive into the relationship between financial inclusion and the cloud. The webinar will explore the various financial services use-cases that are helping consumers in the Asia Pacific region to achieve financial inclusion – whether it is in terms of access to finance for underbanked communities or innovative fintech solutions to facilitate payments or fully digital banks.
