Discussion on future direction and implications provided the participants with insight. The main theme of the forum catered to the research produced by academia and its utilization in the industry for socio-economic solutions. Primarily the experts shed light on the avenues of funding for academia by the industry in the guise of university-industry liaisons and the reciprocal provision of solutions by the academia to the industry. Participants emphasized the non-specificity of research funding targets through real-world examples of multinational companies and pointed out the instances where companies funded research through academia on the non-related socio-economic issue. The contextualization of issues faced by nations on a geographic basis was also discussed and how different approaches were being utilized to counter similar issues in different countries. The role of academia in the mobilisation of public opinion regarding the perception of various social issues was also discussed and there was a consensus of the speakers on collaboration between industry and academia for better solutions through research and alliance of both sectors for a noticeable impact in case of economic downturns or natural disasters. 1st strategic forum was held during 4th ASIA International Conference (AIC-2019) at Langkawi International Convention Center, Langkawi Malaysia.
