Sasin Summit 2023 - Technology & Sustainability: New Frontiers 

January 4-6, 2023, at Sasin School of Management, Bangkok, Thailand 

As we navigate a world of perpetual disruption, technology plays an increasingly dominant role in every aspect of our lives. Big data and digital transformation are changing the way we work and live. Businesses will only thrive into the future by constantly re-inventing themselves, by perpetual transformation. 

The imperative for transformations must be the creation of sustainable businesses. We have all seen what unbridled business can do to our lives and our planet. If our children and children’s children are to have a world in which to thrive—a better, smarter, sustainable world—crafting that world, not destroying it, must be at the very top of our agenda. 

Is there an inherent tension or friction between technology and sustainability? Can technological innovation be sustainable? Moving forward, what role will technology play in sustainable development; can tech solve the challenges of sustainability? 

As part of its 40th anniversary, Sasin School of Management will host an international conference in Bangkok that will bring together academics and practitioners to share research and practice linking technological innovation and sustainable development. This summit will focus on the opportunities, threats, and intended and unintended consequences of technology on sustainability. 

The 3-day event will include keynote presentations, talks, workshops, networking sessions, and an exhibition to showcase cutting-edge innovations from practitioners contributing to sustainable development.
