Dr. Vikneswaran Manual received the Outstanding Contribution Award for submitting the most papers. His prolific work has tremendously benefited the ICDBSE 2023 academic gathering, and the committee applauded his dedication to advancing knowledge and research in the field.
The conference presentations delved into the topics of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, and 17, which cover topics such as no poverty, quality education, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, and partnerships for the goals.
The presenters were passionate and knowledgeable, presenting a thorough examination of the SDGs and their implications for society, the economy, and the environment.
They explored the challenges and opportunities connected with reaching the SDGs, as well as how individuals, businesses, and governments may collaborate to create a more sustainable future.
All presentations were informative and insightful, and they left the audience with a better grasp of the SDGs and demonstrated how everyone can contribute to a more sustainable future.
Without the support of its main partner, STOU, and co-partners Chitkara University, Hochschule University of Applied Sciences, and others, ICDBSE 2023 would not have been possible.
The conference committee expresses its heartfelt appreciation to all the keynote speakers, presenters, participants, partners, supporting staff, and student assistants who contributed to the success of ICDBSE 2023.
The committee looks forward to the next gathering which will be held at STOU, Thailand where the exploration of the frontiers of digital business, society, and economy will continue.
STOU delegates welcomed Thailand’s selection as the second host for ICDBSE 2024, after APU, Malaysia.
