Roundtable Room 3, Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Level 4
Invite-Only
With the digital economy expected to constitute a major portion of the future global economy, digitisation has the potential to transform lives but is unequal in its reach. Digital inclusion must be considered alongside digital transformation and digital financial literacy to connect to underserved and unserved communities.
This roundtable will explore the gaps in digital inclusion across regions, share the effective financing instruments addressing these gaps, and discuss the impact of successful applications on underserved and unserved populations left behind by the digital revolution. Digital inclusion financing instruments are being introduced to build out the digital economy through creating digital trust credentials for SMEs and digital infrastructure.
This roundtable will also highlight successful use cases of digital inclusion and digital transformation programmes led by financial institutions and multinational companies. From these success stories, the session seeks to inspire investors and financial institutions to introduce and expand digital inclusion investment instruments. The challenges that limit investment in digitalisation, particularly from capital markets, will be covered, as well as areas for collaboration.
The roundtable will endeavour to identify key follow-up frameworks and/or actions in which the discussants could align on going forward.
