How can Web3 be utilized for impact in emerging markets?

After being coined almost a decade ago, the term Web3 and the underlying promise of a decentralized Internet finally gained interest in the broad technology ecosystem in 2021. Whether it was pandemic-fueled boredom or a long simmering digital revolution, everyone form large tech companies and venture capitalists to startup founders and cryptocurrency enthusiasts were talking about Web3. In emerging markets like Southeast Asia, the Play2Earn tsunami finally pushed the term to mainstream consciousness with everyone talking about scholars and the impact created for large underpaid populations. Just as fast as it arrived, the Web3 wave subsided with the advent of the crypto winter in 2022 and the rapid devaluation of many digital currencies including those facilitating P2E. Having passed the peak of inflated expectations, the true believers can finally start building the Web3 infrastructure in peace and gradually bring its promise to fruition. Our panel will discuss some of the most impactful Web3 projects and technology use cases both in Europe and Asia.

PLANET: Shared, Connected, Autonomous - Sustainable Urban Mobility

What mattered in the automotive and mobility markets in the past 5 years, and what will dominate the space in the next 10 years? We look closer at the autonomous, connected, electrified, and shared trends that matter. Electric and autonomous vehicles, more interconnected and intelligent road networks, new customer interfaces and services, and a dramatically different competitive landscape in which tech giants, start-ups, and OEMs mix and mingle are just a few of the shifts in store. What's more and what are the challenges we face to implement these? A very unique perspective in the fireside chat with top-notch speakers from Asia and Europe to understand different countries with different growth levels are looking at the answers to some of the most pressing questions facing our urban societies.

PLANET: Supply Chain Crisis - Sustainability vs Market Pressure

In the aftermath of Covid, the US-China trade disputes, and the energy price crisis, the supply chain industry has suffered up to the point that a vast majority of our overseas goods are now delayed or unavailable.

In this session, we will discuss how these solutions can relieve market pressure and at the same time be sustainable.
