Fostering meaningful connections in Singapore! 🤝 That’s a key outcome for participants of the third annual edition of Founders Forum Asia. Two weeks since the event wrapped up, several are exploring mutual business interests and investment opportunities while others have advanced conversations around potential transactions! While #FFAsia began as an intimate gathering of tech founders, the 2024 edition drew founders, investors and entrepreneurs from over 17 countries and 40+ industries – all interested in seeking untapped opportunities and using tech and innovation to scale new heights. EDB will continue growing this platform to foster more meaningful connections, including between older and new generations of founders. ICYMI, here’s a quick take on Asia’s startup ecosystem ⚪ Founders need to be hyperlocal - think big, start small. One size does not fit all in Southeast Asia. More corporates are also engaging in venture building, including partnering with startups to create new businesses and unlock new value. ⚪ Alternative paths to liquidity, strategic acquisitions or secondary markets must be explored further to unlock growth and create a self-sustaining venture capital ecosystem. ⚪ AI and SpaceTech are creating new, interesting opportunities. What’s also interesting – the possibility of competitors becoming collaborators to beat the odds on new market entry.
