How Industry Experts Across APAC Are Tackling Challenges with Streaming

Industry leaders at Confluent’s Data in Motion event in Singapore discussed how real-time data streaming, data mesh, and application modernization can improve customer experiences, operational efficiency, and innovation across banking, retail, government, and agriculture. Trust Bank emphasizes accurate, secure, and enriched transaction data, while Thailand’s Central Group combines customer attribution and purchasing insights to personalize retail experiences and develop services such as image-based product recommendations. Speakers also highlighted the role of data in helping governments deliver proactive citizen services and helping complex food supply chains share timely, trustworthy information through Kafka-based publish/subscribe integration. Data mesh was presented as a way to assign clear ownership of data to the teams that produce it, enabling faster independent development while maintaining discoverability and governance. The panel advised organizations to begin with desired business interactions and decision-making responsibilities rather than technology alone, and to ensure legacy modernization supports organizational needs rather than creating unnecessary complexity.
