In situations where there is a complex public policy problem, this may require a multi-stakeholder solution between public and private sector partners. The question then is, how can public and private sector players leverage their resources to create and sustain public value?
Public and private partnership (PPP) arises from a positive interaction and interdependence between government and business. In East Asian countries, such as China, Korea and Japan, it has been broadly applied to many areas, such as infrastructure construction, public health, education, scientific and technological innovation, etc. Our distinguished speakers will speak on the following questions:
