About the Conference:
In the era of Business 5.0, organizations are no longer driven by technology alone—they are defined by how well they balance innovation with sustainability and human-centric values. “Synergize 5.0” captures this transformative vision, emphasizing the need to create systems that are not just digitally intelligent but also socially responsible and environmentally conscious.
This theme calls for harmonizing cutting-edge technologies with sustainable practices and the human element, fostering a future where businesses grow responsibly, communities thrive, and ecosystems are preserved. It recognizes that true progress lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence, automation and ethics, digital speed and human touch.
Through this lens, the conference/colloquium invites researchers, practitioners, and scholars to explore strategies, models, and innovations that promote inclusive growth, ethical leadership, resilient business models, and tech-enabled sustainability. As part of the event, the Doctoral Colloquium provides a platform for emerging researchers to present their work, receive expert feedback, and engage in meaningful academic exchange to strengthen their research journey.
