ASEAN As A United Startup Hub: Foolish or Ambitious?

Pause

Does Malaysia’s true regional value lie in being ASEAN’s startup sandbox? Could an integrated ASEAN startup ecosystem unlock the region’s full potential, or is this too ambitious for such a fragmented landscape?

As Malaysia looks ahead to its ASEAN chairmanship in 2025, Enterprise Explores dives into the value, opportunities, and challenges of building a more connected regional startup community with Norman Matthieu Vanhaecke, Group CEO of Cradle Fund, and Renuka Sena, CEO of Proficeo. We also explore Malaysia’s potential role in driving this agenda.
