The UN defines poverty as a lack of access to sufficient food, education and energy. The covid-19 pandemic alone has plunged over 490 million people back into poverty, magnifying inequalities around the world. How can Asia lead the world in harnessing the power of technology for change?

Join The Economist’s inaugural Technology for Change Week Asia, a free to attend online event bringing together 700+ leading policymakers, entrepreneurs and decision makers from major corporations, big tech, finance and NGOs. Together, we will explore the issues affecting over 5 billion citizens in Asia - the built environment, food security and access to education - and discuss how technology and data-driven solutions can ensure that no adult or child is left behind in an increasingly digital world.
