Singapore is in the heart of the Asia-Pacific -- a region that in 2017 accounted for 57.6 per cent of the global population and 42.1 per cent of global gross domestic product on a purchasing power basis. This creates tremendous opportunities for U.S. exporters, particularly in high growth tech industries such as Smart Cities, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, and Mobility.

In a report by Google, Southeast Asia's internet economy reached $72 billion in 2018 and is on track to exceed $240 billion by 2025, $40 billion higher than previously estimated. This puts the region on track to become the fastest-growing global digital economy. 

The webinar will feature industry experts outlining how U.S companies can harness market opportunities, and learn about developments in Smart Cities, AI, 5G, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Mobility, and the Digital Economy in the Asia-Pacific.
