    Hybrid MBA Masterclass: Digital Platforms for Social Good

    Can digital platforms solve some of society’s toughest challenges?

    From Grab and Airbnb to Touch ‘n Go and WhatsApp, digital platforms have transformed how we work, transact, and connect. But what happens when these same technologies are used to improve access to jobs, education, healthcare, and financial services for some of the world’s most vulnerable populations?

    In this interactive masterclass, we explore how platform business models can become powerful tools for social innovation. Drawing on cutting-edge research from Southeast Asia, we’ll examine how refugees and other marginalized communities creatively leverage digital ecosystems to overcome legal and institutional barriers, while asking a broader question: How can businesses design platforms that create both commercial value and social impact?

    Participants will gain practical insights into platform strategy, network effects, ecosystem design, financial inclusion, and responsible innovation—learning how the same principles that drive billion-dollar technology companies can also be harnessed to address pressing societal challenges.

    Whether you aspire to build the next digital platform, lead innovation within an organization, or create meaningful social impact through business, this session will challenge you to rethink the role of technology in shaping a more inclusive future.

    Join us for an exclusive masterclass designed to empower professionals with actionable knowledge, real-world strategies, and valuable perspectives. This session is ideal for individuals looking to stay ahead, enhance their capabilities, and learn directly from experts.
