Each member state of ASEAN has its unique economical, cultural and environmental characteristics. It is challenging to gain an impression of job prospects in each country in Southeast Asia. Our project pursues to give an in-depth understanding of each country to young talents and supports them to gain a foothold in ASEAN.
This year, the exploreASEAN delegation will visit the member states Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. The new edition's theme Technopreneurship focuses on how the chosen countries make the best use of technology and entrepreneurship to further stimulate their economic growth.
Considering the newly evolving technological developments, it is uncertain whether the traditional model of industrialisation, growing through a strong manufacturing base can be repeated. Although Singapore is not as dependent on manufacturing as Indonesia and especially Vietnam, they are all increasingly investing in the digital age, as well as in infrastructure. This recent developments motivated us to investigate further in this field.
We would like to have you on board to exploreASEAN together!
We are happy to take you with us on our journey.
