SUMMARY:Multicountry Workshop on Enterprise Development and Development of Innovative Startup Business Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Enterprises and startups worldwide are facing an increasingly complex environment shaped by rapid technological change\, shifting global value chains\, sustainability demands\, and evolving workforce needs. While innovation is essential for productivity and inclusive growth\, many economies still face challenges in translating innovation into tangible business outcomes. \nWell-designed startups and enterprise ecosystems can help address these challenges by connecting startups\, SMEs\, large firms\, research institutions\, investors\, and other key stakeholders to foster innovation\, technology adoption\, and business growth. In ASEAN and the broader Asia-Pacific region\, startup activity has grown significantly\, but ecosystem maturity varies widely. Many startups struggle to scale\, while established firms face challenges in adopting new technologies and collaborating with startups and research institutions. Strengthening regional collaboration and institutional capacity is therefore essential to support sustainable enterprise growth and resilience. \nThis four-day workshop will explore practical approaches to designing innovative startup ecosystems\, including policy instruments and institutional arrangements that connect startups with established firms. It will also examine emerging trends such as AI adoption\, sustainability-driven innovation\, and cross-border collaboration\, while discussing how ecosystems can support productivity\, workforce development\, and inclusive growth. \nFor more details please click here.

SUMMARY:Conference on MSME Excellence and Supplier Development
DESCRIPTION:This conference aims to strengthen MSME competitiveness and productivity by promoting regional knowledge exchange\, policy dialogue\, and collaboration among APO member economies in line with the APO–Cambodia Strategic Partnership Program (SPP). The conference supports Cambodia’s efforts to strengthen the MSME ecosystem\, improve enterprise competitiveness in priority value chains\, and enhance regional cooperation for sustainable productivity growth. \nThe conference will bring together policymakers\, productivity organizations\, MSME support institutions\, business associations\, industry leaders\, development partners\, researchers\, and representatives from APO member economies to exchange experiences\, successful policies\, and practical approaches for strengthening MSME competitiveness and supplier development. \nThrough keynote presentations\, panel discussions\, country presentations\, and interactive dialogue\, participants will discuss emerging regional and global trends affecting MSMEs\, including enterprise productivity\, supplier development\, quality standards and certification\, digital transformation\, innovation\, and value chain integration. The conference will also showcase successful policy initiatives\, institutional support mechanisms\, and enterprise case studies that contribute to resilient\, competitive MSMEs. \nSpecial attention will be given to strengthening collaboration among governments\, productivity organizations\, the private sector\, and development partners to foster innovation ecosystems and improve MSME participation in domestic and regional supply chains. The conference will provide opportunities for networking\, partnership building\, and identifying areas for future regional cooperation under the APO framework. \nThe conference will conclude with a high-level discussion summarizing key policy recommendations and collaborative actions to support MSME productivity enhancement\, supplier development\, and sustainable economic growth across APO member economies. The activity is expected to enhance participants’ understanding of regional best practices while strengthening strategic partnerships and knowledge-sharing networks consistent with the objectives of the Cambodia SPP. \nFor more details please click here.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Quantification and Visualization of CH4 Emissions in Agriculture and Carbon Credit Development through Alternative Wetting and Drying
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 2023\, the APO COE on Climate-smart Agriculture (CSA)\, hosted by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO)\, Japan\, set among its first objectives the visualization of agricultural GHG emissions and the strengthening of APO members’ capacity to design and implement effective mitigation strategies. In 2024\, efforts focused on CO2 through soil carbon sequestration modeling\, laying the foundation for regional capacity building. In 2025\, activities expanded to N2O emissions through meta-analysis and quantification while introducing carbon credit methodologies for biochar. Building on these initiatives\, the 2026 program focuses on CH4 emissions from rice cultivation\, a major source of agricultural GHG emissions in the region\, while strengthening members’ capacity to quantify\, analyze\, and visualize emissions and assess mitigation outcomes. The workshop in Tsukuba will also address emerging needs and practical challenges in developing high-integrity carbon credits through AWD implementation\, including data requirements\, baseline setting\, monitoring\, reporting\, and verification (MRV)\, and effective communication of results. \nFor more detail please click here.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Green Productivity and Net-zero Emission Targets
DESCRIPTION:Amid accelerating climate change and the global transition toward sustainability\, GP and net-zero development have emerged as strategic priorities. However\, member economies remain at different stages of green technology adoption\, decarbonization\, and policy implementation\, with limited opportunities for systematic knowledge exchange. \nThe enterprises\, especially SMEs across the Asia-Pacific\, need to explore and adopt approaches such as resource efficiency\, circular economy\, and carbon accounting and management while navigating the volatile business dynamics and aligning operations with net-zero emission plans at national level. \nThis workshop aims to strengthen understanding of GP and net-zero frameworks through thematic sessions and international case studies\, while fostering integrated strategies for sustainable\, low-carbon\, and resilient economic development. It will further enhance participants’ understanding and practical capabilities in applying GP 2.0 approaches to support circular economy developments and net-zero transition. \nFor more details please click here.
