The APAC region is witnessing a remarkable growth in the e-commerce sector, with an estimated value that is expected to exceed USD 6.146 trillion by 2030. Building on the success of the 1st Asia Pacific E-commerce Policy Summit, held on March 14, 2024, ICRIER in collaboration with UNESCAP Subregional Office for South and South-West Asia (SSWA) is jointly organizing the 2nd Asia Pacific E-commerce Policy Summit on November 3rd & 4th, 2025 in New Delhi.
By fostering discussions between policymakers and stakeholders, the summit aims to empower businesses, strengthen digital trade, and promote inclusive growth. As the world is going through a difficult time with growing trade protectionism, this summit aims to create a platform for collaborations and partnerships across multiple stakeholders with an objective of facilitating trade, cross-border investment, resilient supply chain and inclusive growth aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG). This year UNESCAP will organise a High-Level Policy Dialogue on “Digital Empowerment of Women: Connecting them to the Regional and Global Value Chains”.
