2016
This month saw India, particularly, at the forefront of movements in terms of both startup headlines and in VC funding, spanning sectors from crowdfunding of village canal systems to bank-based cross-border fintech solutions. Elsewhere in Southeast Asia, Geeks In Cambodia continued to surge ahead, providing insights to and updates on the country’s startup scene, whilst in Malaysia coding has been set as part of the 2017 school syllabus. And Thailand is making moves, from the $17.5m funding of Omise in the fintech space, to Saensuk’s ‘smart city’ work on a healthtech service for the elderly. This month’s edition also contains more in the way of infographics, research reports and reference-based items, as a way to provide a knowledge base element to those readers in their own early stages of starting-up.
july highlights E Myanmar: Lithan opens TechUP Accelerator for startups E Japan: Social media news provider Spectee lands funding E China: How companies disrupt through business model innovation
our own developments This month also saw the launch of our quarterly publication, providing an alternative method for getting an update on movements in Southeast Asia and Oceania’s startup scenes, organised by country rather than field.
