This virtual program is designed for entrepreneurs, investors, managers and
professionals as well as researchers interested in the ASEAN region. The
emergence of Southeast Asia as a regional power center for innovation with
a GDP of $3.2 trillion (5th largest economy in the world) and a population
of 655 million (which could be the 3rd largest country), indicates, by all
accounts, that the region along with its component economies is heading to
a renewed economic boom, fast becoming a global innovation hub in the
digital era. The region has recently given rise to many unicorns,
surpassing on this dimension many other countries and regions. To address
this new unicorn phenomenon, the webinar addresses extant knowledge about
the development of unicorns in Southeast Asia, and what has made it
possible for startups in the region to garner this level of success in such
a short period of time. This webinar will not only share inspiring start-up
stories but also consider explanatory frameworks with a view to predict
future trends and explore collaboration opportunities for startups and
technology companies in the United States and Southeast Asia.
