Despite trailing behind China and Japan for years, Southeast Asia, home to approximately 675 million people, is now witnessing unprecedented levels of tech investment. With companies poised to inject up to $60 billion into data centers in the coming years, driven by the region's youthful population embracing video streaming, online shopping, and AI. Moreover, Southeast Asia has emerged as a significant market for gadgets and online services.

RETURN TO SEOUL WHERE PAST LIVES HAPPENED: After four brilliant weeks in Tokyo I am now back in Seoul meeting with old and new local clients. Work-wise the goal here in Korea is the same it was in Japan: To connect with all sorts of people within creative community and restart those Seoul-based collaborations that in 2020 got suspended because of the global pandemic. It’s been a good first four days. Had three meetings already. Have several more scheduled this week. Ad agencies, brand studios, consulting firms, VC crews, start-up people, ETC’s as well as independent creatives like myself. Human-wise my goal is equally obvious: To better understand this ultra interesting country, culture and its people. Listen, hear, share, receive, learn and observe. Just like in Tokyo, my main inspiration here in Seoul comes from all things urban. I like rooftops, for example. In fact, instead of offices, co-working spaces, libraries or even dull bar tables I normally try to do my work somewhere offline, often hanging out in all kinds of barely legal spaces places and abandoned places, any kind of rooftops like this certainly included. Higher the better. Shadier the better. If you too are in Seoul, let’s connect. Would be a pleasure. I’ll be around until May 13. Rebel is real. #globalworkrebel #clientcrush #goingglobal #rebelisreal

When Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, set foot in Vietnam, it was not just a historic event for the Vietnamese tech community but also a strong message about Apple’s commitment and vision for the Southeast Asian market. Tim Cook’s visit comes at a time when Apple is expanding its presence in Vietnam, a country that has become an important manufacturing hub outside China. Apple has announced plans to increase investment in Vietnam, with spending through its supply chain in the country reaching nearly 400 trillion VND (approximately 16 billion USD) since 2019 and has doubled its annual spending during the same period. During his two-day visit, Tim Cook met with local developers, content creators, and students, emphasizing support and development of local tech talent. This not only shows Apple’s interest in Vietnam’s tech workforce but also reflects the company’s long-term commitment to building a sustainable tech ecosystem. Particularly, in the context of globalization and fierce competition from other markets like India and China, Tim Cook’s choice of Vietnam as a destination signifies Apple’s trust and expectations in the country’s tech development potential. Vietnam is not just a production location but also a promising market with an increasing number of Apple users. Tim Cook’s visit is also a sign that Apple is seeking to reduce its dependence on China and diversify its supply chain, an important strategy in the rapidly changing global context. By placing trust in Vietnam, Apple is not only opening new opportunities for the Vietnamese tech industry but also contributing to strengthening Vietnam’s position on the global tech map. #TimCookInVietnam #AppleExpansion #VietnamTechHub #InnovationInVN #AppleInvestment #TechTalentVN #SustainableTech #GlobalTechLeadership #VietnamTechEcosystem #AppleSupplyChainDiversity
