Introductions
This edition of Startup News Asia aims to collect, in a quarterly round-up, the broad brushstrokes relating to early-stage startups across South and Southeast Asia, and Oceania.
Items are organised by country so as to give an ‘in one place’ view of recent developments in that location, and cover news both specific in country terms and of likely interest to the local startup scene.
Challenges
Obviously, it can be difficult to capture every item that might be of interest to an observer, and particularly so when attempting to monitor non-English news outlets. Additionally, it can also be a challenge simply to cover so much ground; hence the ‘light’ list-ings for countries at the ‘emerging’ end of the startup scale, such as Myanmar and Cambodia.
That said, at more than 60 pages, and featuring over 1200 news items, this summary does provide a valuable insight into the startup scene in the region, in both developments and commentary.
Do bear in mind...
The links here were accurate at the time of going to press, but there is simply no guarantee that any destination website has maintained their file or URL structure since.
If a site delivers a ‘not found’ page instead of the content listed in this summary, we suggest you use that site’s internal search function, or simply use your preferred search engine.
Finally, feedback is welcomed on any part of this project.
Startup News Asia is, after all, a startup itself.
