Specific Issues for Discussion
The Asia Pacific Next Generation (APNG) — www.apng.asia — is an arena in which future leaders of the digital society in the Asia Pacific region gather to build a human network and learn from each other. Pioneers of digital society also participate in this as senior mentors to nurture the next generation. Participants of the community work together to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals through mutual cooperation, knowledge sharing, and promoting activity for the next generation to build a sustainable future. The APNG has offered resources and discussions for multi-stakeholders from different regions to challenge the digital divide. The APNG has also helped people to think about digital society from the Asia Pacific perspectives. Keeping the fact in our mind that the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow, activities at the APNG not only empower the Next Generation but also bond and strengthen relationships among senior leaders and the youth to share the visions for digital society in the Asia Pacific and beyond. To obtain the vision of APNG we would like to discuss with AP* community to find scopes for broader cooperation.
