After our largest Startup Asia attendance to date – a record-breaking 2,202 participants at Jakarta last November – we’re back with the 9th edition of our signature conference in the sunny island of Singapore, which is incidentally the home of Tech in Asia. On May 6 and 7, Startup Asia Singapore 2015 will take place downtown at the award-winning Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, which has hosted some of the biggest international and regional events around.
Looking back at our first Startup Asia conference held at Singapore Post Centre, we have certainly come a long way. From hosting 870 delegates in 2012, we saw 1,498 in 2014; from showcasing 70 product-ready startups, to over 100 now. This year’s Startup Asia Singapore will no doubt be bigger, better, and crazier.
Continue to party and network into the night with our Night Crawl!
What’s more, over the past month we’ve announced a slew of initiatives and segments that are new to our conference. Think free startup booths at Startup Asia Singapore 2015, more private and invite-only parties with Night Crawl, and a Bootstrap Alley tour that takes us to ten cities to find the best startups across Asia.
And we’re not done yet – we’re throwing in a bigger Bootstrap Alley segment housing more than 250 startups, a mobile app to help you navigate your way in Bootstrap Alley, a bigger cash prize of US$15,000 for Arena which brings together the hottest startups around the region, and an exclusive Investor Lounge for investors to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the conference.
Check out the beautiful poster below for more details on the popular highlights and what’s new at Startup Asia Singapore 2015.
