GP Bullhound, in partnership with North Ridge Partners, is proud to present its latest report, "Southeast Asia Report: Unleashing Southeast Asia Tech." This in-depth exploration delves into one of the world's most dynamic and rapidly evolving tech regions.
Southeast Asia stands at the forefront of a multipolar world, uniquely positioned to thrive. With record venture capital inflows, a young, tech-savvy population, and a neutral stance in shifting geopolitics, the region is attracting global attention. This report explores the opportunities and challenges shaping Southeast Asia’s tech landscape, offering investor insights into key players, growth sectors, and strategies for unlocking its potential.
Hugh Campbell, Founder and Managing Partner at GP Bullhound commented: “The Southeast Asia tech ecosystem has rapidly accelerated, navigating a somewhat challenging tech cycle over the past five years. While some standout companies have emerged as leaders in their market, there’s no shortage of valuable lessons to be learned. We look forward to involving ourselves more in this vibrant ecosystem as it continues to develop and flourish over the next decade, and beyond.”
John Moore, Partner, Head of Asia at North Ridge Partners noted: “Sensing that Asia’s growth would drive rapid digital adoption, North Ridge Partners established a Singapore base ten years ago. Our partners have lived in the region and advised Asian companies since the 90s, and marry authentic local insights on building and exiting tech companies with global financial markets expertise. Having navigated venture capital’s emergence, the pandemic, and a tech downturn, we’re proud to have cemented an alliance as GP Bullhound’s partner in Asia Pacific at a time when the ecosystem is maturing and a surge of capital is seeking liquidity.”
Featuring insights from leaders like Hazman Hilmi Sallahuddin (KWAP), Hian Goh (Openspace VC), Amelia Ong (OSK Ventures), Datuk Hisham Hamdan (Khazanah), and Dato’ Sri Wong (Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association), the report highlights critical forces driving the region’s tech economy.
