SE Asia's Digital Transformation Provides
Opportunity for EU ICT Companies
I

n South East Asia, the ICT sector has
tremendous potential.
E-commerce is a key driver of the digital
economy in this region where policymakers
are focusing on creating a cashless society.
ASEAN inked the first e-commerce agreement
which aims to spur the use of e-commerce
to drive the region's economic growth, to
achieve the projected growth of ASEAN's
internet economy to US$200 billion by 2025.
With good telecommunication infrastructure
in place, people are spending more time onthe-go, consuming digital content on social
media and the worldwide web, as well as
utilizing services such as mobile messaging
and m-commerce.
For the enterprise segment, IoT is a driving
force for businesses. It is anticipated that 50
billion things will be connected by 2020. The
IoT market was estimated at US$1.7 billion in
2016, and is expected to grow 35% per year
for the next five years. Singapore, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines lead
the region's IoT spending, with a strong
focus on key areas such as smart cities,
manufacturing, automotive, transport and

logistics, and agriculture, according to PwC
Growth Markets Centre: The Future of ASEAN
- Time to Act (May 2018).
Singapore is ranked number one in the
WEF 2016 Networked Readiness Index,
which measures how prepared countries
are embracing emerging technologies and
opportunities created by digital innovation.

"Through this EU Business Avenues in South
East Asia program, European companies can
use Singapore as a springboard to expand
their business and extend their outreach to the
South East Asia region," says European Union
Ambassador to Singapore, H.E. Barbara
Plinkert. "The innovative solutions from the
EU can definitely complement the region in

its digital transformation and its growing
demand."
The ICT business mission has seen many
success cases since the program started in
2016. FA Solution, a Finnish company, found
a partner in Singapore that can help in the
integration, customization and provision of
technical support to clients in this region.
Another Irish company, Solgari, signed a
partnership agreement with a consultancy
company one year after participating in the
business mission. Together, they now offer
clients in Asia Pacific an end-to-end solution
in digital communications, compliance,
business intelligence and big data needs in
the cloud.
"This is our fourth ICT business mission to
South East Asia," adds H.E. Plinkert. "We are
very encouraged by the positive outcome of
the program. Through the business matching,
coaching and training, and other business
support services, EU companies can learn
more about the market dynamics in this
region, as well as meet potential clients and
partners to extend their business to this part
of the world."
