About Industries

Standing as the 7th largest economy in the world with a combined GDP of US$2.6 trillion in 2014, ASEAN is fast becoming one of the leaders in world economics. An alliance of 10 nations spanning the Southeast Asian region, the ASEAN economy comprises a set of interrelated industries steeped in uniquely different local cultures from country to country. These industries serve as the bedrock of social development and economic prosperity, performing a broad array of functions to fulfil the needs of the community and business in areas of public health, security, media and communication, food, utilities and transport.

ACIOA aims to establish direct channels of communication between and amongst public sector leaders and industry players, to facilitate the development and spread of ICT best-practices for corporations across the different industries; In doing so, we strive to accelerate the digital transformation of ASEAN’s industries in preparation for a SMART Global Economy.
