Southeast Asian Tech Industry Growth Could Match China’s, Executive Says

Southeast Asia can become a hub for tech investments comparable to China, but tech firms in that region should not simply imitate their Chinese counterparts’ path to success, an executive from ride-hailing and digital payment startup, Gojek, said.

Lien Choong Luen, the general manager of Indonesian headquartered Gojek’s Singapore operations, made the remarks on Wednesday in a panel discussion during the 12th Caixin Summit. He added that Singapore will be the key gateway to attracting global talent and investors to the region.
