About The Conference

The International Conference is a crucial gathering of thought leaders, industry experts, scholars, and innovators who are dedicated in exploring the transformative potential of technology and innovative business models in driving sustainable development. This conference is set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving global landscape, where the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as digitalization, digitization, digital finance, blockchain, and artificial intelligence is reshaping industries and societies alike.

Governance issues, including transparency, accountability, and social impact, will be examined to understand how ethical considerations are being woven into the fabric of modern business practices.
