The conference will be a joint effort between the Asian Society of Innovation and Policy (ASIP) and the School of Business, Asia Pacific University. The ASIP annual conference is in its 13th year, having run in locations across ASIA.

The purpose of the conference is to enhance academic networking and provide a platform for the publication of academic research. The theme chosen for the conference is “Entrepreneurship and Digital Society” and it is intended to reflect, in part, the strategic vision of both ASIP and Asia Pacific University, allowing for not only conference discourse but also impactful output across Asia.

In addition, this conference is intended to enhance the visibility of entrepreneurship-related research, impacting curriculum development, societal change and reflecting labor market trends. The conference will provide opportunities for academic staff and practitioners at the various participating Universities and organizations to enhance their respective networks and strengthen research ties between stakeholders. The conference will also provide platforms for research output through an associated in-house journal and participating Emerald journals and other journals.
