In the ongoing evolution of Asia's economy and society, there is a crucial need to explore innovative conceptual frameworks, empirical studies, and case analyses. These endeavors aim to unravel the intricate relationship between digital transformation and the imperative for fostering a greener, more circular, and climate-neutral Asian economy. Strengthening Sustainable Digitalization of Asian Economy and Society explores the intersection between digital technologies, knowledge management, and sustainable development.

The book addresses the challenges and opportunities the digital age poses, examining how advanced information technologies, including artificial intelligence, IoT, and machine learning, coupled with practical knowledge management, can catalyze a transformative journey. Strengthening Sustainable Digitalization of Asian Economy and Society unravels how these digital tools and solutions impact the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, offering invaluable insights for academics, researchers, industry players, policymakers, and stakeholders.
