ASEAN-Connect (东盟互联互通)

Building a Unified ASEAN Industrial & Commercial Ecosystem

An AI-powered platform designed to revolutionize business connectivity across ASEAN

The ASEAN region—one of the world's fastest-growing economic powerhouses—is plagued by fragmented industrial and commercial sectors, struggling with disconnection, lack of visibility, and inefficient business networking. Traditional business directories have faded, leaving companies without structured channels to connect, trade, and expand.

To solve this, Communication 21 Media Group has launched the ASEAN-Connect (东盟互联互通) Initiative, an AI-powered platform designed to revolutionize business connectivity across ASEAN. This initiative bridges gaps, enhances collaboration, and accelerates regional industrial integration.
