How many years has it been going?

This is the 3rd year

What was the inspiration to start it?

Digital Economy Forum took its first step in November 2018 with the theme of “The Driving Force of Innovation.” In the following year, the forum paid attention to global unicorn companies that drive economic growth and technological innovation, and their impact in their respective countries.

Various stakeholders leading the digital economy including Geoffrey G Parker, the author of Platform Revolution; Han Seong-sook, the CEO of NAVER; Sophie Viger, the Managing Director of 42; Christine Tsai of 500 Startups; visionaries from Kakao Mobility; Yanolja; Market Kurly; Gojek; ICONLOOP, etc. have participated in the forum.

What exciting things can people look forward to?

The forum will include keynote speeches, panel discussions and case presentations on innovative startups on four major topics namely: Digital Transformation & Policy, Entertainment &Media, Work & Job and Healthcare. These topics have gained attention due to rapid changes in the post-coronavirus era. Over 20 global opinion leaders and experts from startups, government and academia who are pioneering the digital economy will join the forum as speakers, sharing their in-depth insights.
