Monte Jade West and Singapore Global Network to Jointly Host a Webinar on a Topic of Visionary Unicorn Builders in Southeast Asia on April 27

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 14, 2023 (Newswire.com) - As both the U.S. and China struggle with its economy, the GDP growth of many Southeast Asian countries is amongst the fastest in the world. Global corporations are shifting their supply chains away from China to Southeast Asia, a large population of 655 million people that is increasingly growing and is rapidly joining the internet. With over 450 million young internet users, and 85% of them shopping online, Southeast Asia has become a playground for entrepreneurs and investors.

This upcoming webinar features four proven serial entrepreneurs that have succeeded in building their innovative startups while navigating through highly diverse and challenged markets. During the webinar, the following topics will be discussed:

• Southeast Asia has many startups but few proven, sizable, and regionally successful technology companies like Grab, Shopee, Lazada, and ToGo. Why is this? What does it take to grow a regional technology powerhouse?
• In Web 1.0 and 2.0, China's technology companies adopted the "copy & innovate" from the West model. Today, their innovations have surpassed their Silicon Valley counterparts. Southeast Asia is still not known for technological innovation. What are the panelists' views on this issue?
• The biggest challenge for any technology company is the talent shortage and the rapidly rising salary. How can this obstacle be effectively tackled?
• What significant challenges and opportunities did the panelists experience building a regional technology powerhouse? Can the product be easily adjusted to suit various Southeast Asian markets, or did it require significant localization efforts?
• What are the differences between building a tech startup in Southeast Asia and the United States, according to the panelists' insights? How can U.S. technology professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors tap into these insights to participate in the exciting ventures presented by the panelists?
