The flagship opening session of the Digital Trust Summit brings together distinguished keynote speakers and senior leaders from government, regulators and industry to set the strategic direction for the day.

Every scam that reaches a user undermines trust in ASEAN’s digital economy.

These insights set the stage for the policy leadership panel, “Building ASEAN’s Coordinated Response to Scams and Fraud,” where policymakers, regulators and industry leaders explore practical approaches to strengthening trusted communications, digital identity and cross-sector collaboration.

This session opens with an address exploring technology’s dual role as both a driver of digital inclusion and a challenge requiring robust safety frameworks, before moving into a fireside conversation in which a global advocate for family and youth online safety joins UNICEF youth leaders to explore what builds trust in digital services and AI for the next generation. The session closes with the panel discussion, “The Technologies Powering Inclusive Digital Nations,” bringing together leaders across telecommunications, digital identity, IoT and online safety to examine how mobile identity, age assurance, Open Gateway APIs and scam signal sharing can turn security into a driver of equitable participation.
