In the context of the APW’s Euro-Asian innovation dialogue, we are taking a closer look at Berlin and specific metropolises in Asia and their startup ecosystems.
Startups grow especially in cities where good communication infrastructures are provided and global mindsets come together, exchange ideas and find a base to start their businesses.
In the past decade a diverse range of startup communities grew in the cities of the Asian-Pacific region. Some of them are still in a nascent stage, while others are already established startup hubs with a mature ecosystem. In each country entrepreneurs, accelerators, incubators, VCs and governmental institutions work together in multifaceted ways to create global and thriving business opportunities.
Some examples of Asian-Pacific startup cities are: Bangalore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shenzhen, Singapore, Sydney and Tōykō. A summarized research on Startup-Ecosystems in ASEAN member states is also provided.
