Capturing South-east Asia’s renewable energy opportunity

SOUTH-EAST Asia is home to one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic digital ecosystems, with the World Economic Forum estimating that the region’s digital economy will grow to be worth US$1 trillion by 2030.

Alongside that, rapid digitalisation across the region as well as a young, innovative, and entrepreneurial population have meant that South-east Asian countries are poised to make an outsized impact on the development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.

Underlying the region’s potential as a powerhouse of digital innovation, however, is a growing appetite for energy – especially clean energy – as economies across the region make important strides towards honouring their commitments to hit net-zero emissions.
