In this episode of The We Are Innovation Podcast, host Federico N. Fernández welcomed Benedict Weerasena, the Research Director of Bait Al Amanah (House of Trust). Benedict brought valuable insights to the discussion on innovation agendas for Indonesia and Malaysia.

The conversation began with an in-depth exploration of Indonesia's innovation landscape. Weerasena shared his thoughts on the country's current standing and potential for growth in various sectors. He then delved into the concept of the Entrepreneurial Rail Model (ERM) in Indonesia, explaining its significance and potential impact on the nation's innovation ecosystem. The dialogue also covered strategies for creating a pro-innovation environment in Indonesia that would encourage positive changes in consumer behavior, potentially driving economic growth and technological advancement.

Shifting focus to Malaysia, the discussion encompassed several key areas of innovation and development. Weerasena offered his perspective on Malaysia's emerging role as a data center hub in Southeast Asia, outlining the sector's evolution and the innovative policies that could further solidify the country's leadership in this domain.
