In response to the emerging research diversity, the SIG on Development of Information and Communication Technology in the Asia Pacific Neighbourhood (DICTAP) is organising a workshop on ICT Trends in Emerging Economies. The developmental growth of ICT in the Asia Pacific countries has been phenomenal in recent years as the Government of these countries have embarked on various ICT initiatives. Despite these efforts, the ICT development rate of each country has not been the same among countries from the low-income, lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies within the Asia Pacific region (hitherto referred to as underrepresented countries). In general, the ICT growth in these countries is only at the emerging or development stage.  

This workshop aims to provide an interactive channel for interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners to present papers, communicate, and discuss relevant issues regarding the ICT trends in developing countries. The workshop invites contributions from researchers from emerging economies* or those working on issues related to emerging economies* to share scholarly findings and professional  education. 

WICTTEE will be held as an “in-person” event only. We encourage participants to physically join the conference. Full paper presentations and discussions will be scheduled for the workshop. The previous workshops were held successfully in conjunction with the ICCE conferences and under DICTAP SIG held in Malaysia, Thailand, Bali, Japan, China, andIndia in the past six years. This workshop attracted more than fifty papers from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and India. ICCE2024 is planed to be held as a "in-person" event at the Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines.
