About the Conference

 

The 21st century has been marked by rapid technological advancement that continues to transform economies, societies, and the environment. While innovation has enabled remarkable progress, it has also amplified challenges such as environmental degradation, social inequality, and ethical dilemmas in governance. As the global climate crisis deepens and sustainability becomes central to development discourse, stakeholders are increasingly expected to operate with accountability toward ecological and social systems. Various fields in the social sciences must address these challenges with an interdisciplinary approach.

This shifting landscape demands a fundamental rethinking of traditional business and social science paradigms—one that integrates green innovation, digital transformation, and inclusive growth. The convergence of these forces calls for a collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches to reshape how organizations and societies create value, serve communities, and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future.

 

Objectives of the Conference

 

  1. To redefine business and social science frameworks by integrating sustainability, innovation, and social equity to address real-world challenges and enhance societal well-being.

  2. To foster global, cross-sector collaboration across various social science disciplines for sharing inclusive solutions, advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and creating positive social impact.

  3. To facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue among academia, industry leaders, policymakers, and civil society to co-create solutions for a just and sustainable future.
