SINGAPORE'S chairmanship of Asean 2018 will present it a worthwhile opportunity to lead the region in developing its various digital economies, said Ravi Rajendran, managing director (Asia's south region) at multi-cloud data management company Veritas.
He told The Business Times in a recent interview that the "strong policy underpinning Singapore's digital development" will go a long way to accelerate digitalisation across South-east Asia - particularly in healthcare and digital trade. As Asean chair this year, Singapore is focusing on innovation and resilience with the digital economy as a key thrust, he noted.
