Tech Startup trend in Asia is indeed getting hotter by the day! Following our recent trip to attend AppWorks Demo Day in Taipei, we have been invited to bring a Hong Kong contingent to attend the upcoming Echelon Ignite in Bangkok on September 5th and 6th. For those of you who are interested to join us to attend this event as a group making full use of our special StartupsHK rate, please sign up here (Please sign up by 15th August).
On September 5th and 6th, Thai tech startups and investors will be treated to an international contingent of 25 renowned tech leaders, mentors and investors who will be speaking and conducting workshops over two days at Echelon Ignite Thailand 2013, held at Bangkok University. Highlights from the upcoming events include Ray Chan, Co-Founder of global humor site, 9Gag from our very own Hong Kong as well as Khailee Ng, Entrepreneur-in- Residence at the globally renowned tech startup accelerator, 500 Startups.
Held over two days, the first day features a series of keynotes and panels by experienced industry leaders and mentors that will tackle key local and regional trends as well as business opportunities and challenges in the areas of growth, optimization and funding.
Day 2 features three workshop tracks that distill the key learnings from Day 1 and puts delegates in touch with workshop coordinators who are leaders in the fields of growth, optimization and funding. The hands-on approach and face time with these business and investor heavyweights will give delegates valuable insights gained from decades worth of experience and allow them to impact the businesses immediately.
E27 Co-founder and COO, Thaddeus Koh added, “Once again, we’re delighted to bring Echelon Ignite to Thailand again for the second time, and working with our trusted partners, HUBBA Thailand in organizing this conference and workshop event. We’ve successfully organized Echelon 2013 as well as Echelon Ignite Australia earlier this year, and we believe that this will be an instant-hit with Thailand’s hungry and talented startups who have been asking for the sort of content that Echelon Ignite can give to them.”
