## Why Vietnam and Southeast Asia are Booming **Your observations about Vietnam's dynamism and the region's broader economic expansion are spot on.** Several key factors contribute to this surge: ### 1. **Demographic Dividend:** * **Young Population:** Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, has a large, young, and increasingly educated workforce. This demographic dividend provides a vast pool of skilled labor, fueling economic growth and innovation. * **Consumer Market:** A growing middle class with rising disposable income is creating a burgeoning consumer market, attracting both domestic and foreign investments. ### 2. **Government Support:** * **Economic Reforms:** Many Southeast Asian countries have implemented market-oriented reforms, creating a business-friendly environment that encourages investment and entrepreneurship. * **Infrastructure Development:** Governments are investing heavily in transportation, telecommunications, and other infrastructure, improving connectivity and facilitating trade. ### 3. **Geopolitical Advantage:** * **Strategic Location:** Southeast Asia is strategically located at the crossroads of major trade routes, making it a vital hub for global supply chains. * **Diversification:** Countries like Vietnam are diversifying their economies to reduce reliance on traditional industries, fostering growth in sectors like technology, manufacturing, and services. ### 4. **Digital Economy Boom:** * **Technological Advancements:** Rapid adoption of technology, especially in e-commerce, fintech, and digital services, is driving economic growth and creating new business opportunities. * **Unicorn and Startup Ecosystem:** The region is witnessing a surge in tech startups and unicorns, indicating a vibrant entrepreneurial culture. ### 5. **Global Economic Trends:** * **Supply Chain Restructuring:** The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift of manufacturing and supply chains away from China, benefiting countries like Vietnam. * **Free Trade Agreements:** Comprehensive trade agreements are facilitating increased trade and investment in the region. **In essence, Southeast Asia, led by countries like Vietnam, is capitalizing on a combination of favorable demographic, economic, and geopolitical factors to emerge as a dynamic and attractive region for businesses and investors.**
Just wrapped up a very fruitful trip to Vietnam, where I was struck by the dynamism and vibrancy of this fast-growing economy. I was delighted to be part of the Hong Kong Delegation of officials and industry representatives, connecting with local businesses and organisations to discuss the many opportunities for cooperation between Hong Kong and Vietnam. Vietnam, and Southeast Asia more broadly, continue to build its importance and relevance as the region experiences rapid economic expansion, fueled by a thriving new economy community that's home to a growing number of unicorns and startups. #HKEX hosts around 100 Southeast Asian issuers in its markets, and we look forward to welcoming even more innovative businesses from the region -- the leading companies of tomorrow -- to consider #HongKong’s deep and liquid markets as a platform to support their growth journey, as we connect capital with opportunities.
Europe is a fragmented territory, from a language point of view. But more important it is fragmented culturally, legally and economically. Each country has different rules, regulations, economy, culture regarding technology. Penetrating so many fragmented markets with a digital product is very expensive, but american companies have the capital and the power to do so because they come in when they are already past their "startup" phase, having both resources and the operational maturity to be able to do that. Another reason is that all companies that see some traction here in EU, eventually become US companies (with few exceptions) when they are bought out (aka swallowed) by the big US companies that want to protect their market shares here.
In 2023, only 1,200 new companies were founded in China, a sharp contrast to the 51,302 launched in 2018. Once home to thriving startups that produced tech giants like Alibaba and Tencent, the Chinese start-up ecosystem is now facing significant challenges. A mix of economic slowdowns, market adjustments, and increasing regulations has created a more difficult environment for private tech enterprises. Geopolitical tensions and reduced foreign investment have compounded the problem, making it harder for new ventures to secure capital. For Europe, this presents a moment of reflection and opportunity. As we build our own innovation landscape, we need to ensure that our regulatory frameworks empower, rather than hinder, our entrepreneurs and investors. We must foster an environment where new ideas can flourish, capital can flow freely, and our brightest talent can contribute to creating a competitive and thriving ecosystem. The lesson here is clear: Innovation thrives in environments that encourage freedom, creativity, and investment. Europe has the talent, universities, and infrastructure to lead the next wave of global innovation, but we must be cautious not to hinder our own growth. Let’s seize this opportunity to position Europe as the global leader in technology and innovation. 🚀

Year 2024 and 2025 - Best time to invest in China Tech The reasons are: - Dramatic valuation differential between similar China and US Tech companies. - Even under the worst scenario of China and US breaking into two completely disconnected Tech ecosystems, there is still a huge demand for China Tech in China as well as in adjacent countries. - Companies and founders have spent more than three years (Covid challenges and disappointment with post-Covid reopening outcome) to adjust their mindsets and organizations to adapt to a difficult fund raising and difficult economic outlook environment. Things may get worse, but Tech is the foundation for China to compete (and implicitly for companies and local governments to fulfill political agenda). I am representing a number of high-quality issuer clients at Daiwa to raise funds (being private placement, pre-IPO and IPO), so am very happy to connect and discuss various investment opportunities. #Technology #Fundraising #China #Privateplacement #preIPO #IPO
