JumpStart!
Singapore is quickly becoming the focus as a regional startup hub as entrepreneurs in Asia Pacific are tapping on the expertise and funding programmes available. With more than S$2.1 billion venture funding generated in 2013, according to Asian Venture Capital Journal Research, the growth for startups is expected to accelerate rapidly.
We have introduced a new and exciting feature to highlight the growing importance of technology startups in Asia. JumpStart! will be the launchpad for the latest innovations that could impact and revolutionise our way of engaging with customers, managing their identities and make purchasing decisions in everyday life.
