Asian Think Tanks Network Forum 2025
Enabling Accessibility and Inclusion Through Digital Trade and E-Commerce

By invitation

The ADB, in collaboration with the ADBI, and ESCAP, is organizing the ATTN Forum 2025. The objective is to narrow the knowledge gap with respect to the role of digital trade in enabling inclusion and to enhance the capacity of researchers and think tanks in developing countries to conduct research in emerging areas concerning the digital economy. The project looks at digital trade and particularly cross-border e-commerce in three perspectives: (a) trend of cross-border e-commerce at regional and sub-regional levels; (b) impact (or potential impact) of cross-border e-commerce (goods and/or services) on inclusion and accessibility outcomes; and (c) regulatory gaps at national and regional levels to facilitate cross-border e-commerce.
