The aim of this project is to foster new business partnerships between UK and Southeast Asian public and private sector organisations through a week-long series of engagements in two priority markets. It is also designed to create opportunities for networking and knowledge-sharing between public and private sector stakeholders across the UK and Southeast Asia, whilst also supporting the implementation of innovation-friendly policies that promote open and inclusive digital ecosystems and digital trade across the region. Building on the UK's formalised status as an ASEAN Dialogue Partner - the bloc's eleventh and first since 1996 - the UK and ASEAN committed to deepening collaboration on the digital economy through our newly-established ASEAN-UK Digital Innovation Partnership (DIP). Launched in September 2021, our digital partnership aims to unlock the vast potential held across our most innovative and cutting-edge public and private sector bodies - including by connecting and fostering new business partnerships. Our vision is to achieve these objectives through greater collaboration across three core pillars: (a) Digital Economy Business Partnerships; (b) Digital Policy, Regulation and Standards; and (c) Digital Transformation and Digital Inclusion. The UK and ASEAN have already delivered a range of initiatives and activities under each pillar - including delivering our first-ever ASEAN-UK Digital Business Showcase which brought together innovative tech companies to solve complex organisational challenges; creating new opportunities for dialogue on digital standards and policy between leading businesses and government bodies; and leading our largest-ever delegation of Southeast Asian tech companies to London Tech Week 2022. Our next objective is to deliver our first-ever UK-Southeast Asia Tech Week - one of our flagship projects under the DIP this year (2022 - 2023).
