The theme of CIS 2023, "Accelerating Growth While Saving the World," highlights the importance of sustainable development for businesses, countries, and the region. It goes beyond simply applying technology and innovation to achieve exponential business growth, and instead focuses on developing businesses while concurrently fostering sustainability. This theme is aligned with RISE's missions to drive 1 percent of the GDP of the Southeast Asian region and reduce the global carbon emission by 1 percent.
