The white paper Industrial Transformation in ASEAN: A Cluster-Driven Model for Regional and Global Collaboration explores Southeast Asia’s rapid industrial growth amid rising energy demand and transition challenges. With over 670 million people, ASEAN’s expansion risks energy insecurity due to fossil fuel reliance, fragmented policies, and high financing costs. The paper highlights industrial clusters as key to bridging ambition and delivery, aligning policies, strengthening ecosystems, and mobilizing finance. Through practical guidance and case studies, it shows how partnerships, policy coherence, technology, and innovative financing can drive a competitive, low-carbon, and resilient industrial future.
