Work with corporates in Asia to solve their tech challenges and deploy your digital solutions.
The ASEAN region of Asia represents one of the most significant growth opportunities for UK digital technology businesses. With a combined GDP of US$3.2 trillion and accounting for approximately 8.5% of the world’s population, ASEAN has one of the fastest-growing internet markets in the world. Its digital economy is projected to reach $300bn by 2025 and is home to over 400m internet users.
IoT Tribe’s Tech Challenge will connect the best of British startups and SMEs and their cutting-edge solutions with major corporates in ASEAN to solve their key pain points and establish strong working relationships with an aim to create new strategic commercial opportunities for UK businesses with corporate partners in Asia.
We have identified several challenges with major corporates in Asia which they wish to solve by collaborating with UK-based digital tech providers.
The challenges are focused on:
-Reduction of energy consumption and net zero
-Voice authentication for heavily accented English
-Geospatial data to predict consumer trends
-Data sharing across organisational borders
-Fraud detection or financial data mining to avoiding incorrect or duplicate supplier payments
-Deploying OT risk frameworks
If you are a startup, small or medium business based in the UK, and have a proven solution to tackle the challenges in the above areas, then join us for an AMA session where we will dive deeper into each of the challenges and familiarise you with our process for defining your solution and delivering roadmap with a corporate partner.
The Tech Challenge is a part of the ASEAN-UK Digital Innovation Partnership from the Digital Trade Network, delivered by IoT Tribe.
Join us during one of two Ask Me Anything online briefing events to learn about the opportunities available in the ASEAN region and the corporates involved, find out about the purpose and benefits of joining the programme and ask your questions.
During the session, we will also share the details of the application process.
