Trusted data corridors: How will we get there – designing a roadmap for the future

Cross-border data flows are the invisible rails powering digital payments, fraud detection, and digital identity. Yet across ASEAN, restrictions, localization rules, and competing policy interests often stand in the way. How do we bridge these divides and build trusted data corridors that unlock innovation while respecting sovereignty and security?

This interactive 90-minute workshop brings together senior leaders from financial services, fintechs, regulators, and policymakers to go beyond theory and co-create solutions. Through case studies and small-group problem-solving, participants will design practical roadmaps for:
- Scaling regional product launches across diverse regulatory environments.
- Collaborating on AI-powered fraud and scam prevention platforms.
- Building interoperable digital identity systems that work across borders.

Expect candid exchanges, scenario-based mapping, and live share-backs that will surface the hard trade-offs, identify actionable solutions, and chart the next steps toward seamless, trusted cross-border data transfers in ASEAN.

Join us if you want to shape how the region gets this right — because without trusted data corridors, the future of digital payments and financial innovation cannot take flight.
