About Us

Europe has long recognized that nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship attracts talent, investors and mentors. The US model in Silicon Valley has made it the world leader in tech innovation.

Asia also has all the ingredients to create its own entrepreneur "valley", but with the added advantage of being in the world's largest and fastest growing market as well as having a large talent pool.

Indeed, Asia technology sector, in particular in internet and mobile, is recently booming with over 25% growth rates annually. There is also tremendous talent in Asia, with India and China alone producing over 350,000 and 650,000 engineers respectively compared to 70,000 in the US.

By creating an ecosystem within Asia of local entrepreneurs, experts and investors and complementing it with overseas experience we aim to create a mindset that encourages cooperation and entrepreneurship.
