The exciting Asian market is on everyone’s radar and we’ve got you covered. Speakers from China, Indonesia, India and more, are coming to STEP 2019! China is the world’s second largest economy and the talk of the town across industries. On the other hand Indonesia is an exciting emerging market, currently the largest in Southeast Asia and 16th in the world. Meanwhile India is considered to be one of the fastest growing economies today.

Here’s just a selection of the Asia-based companies we’ve got lined up for you on all four STEP stages:

They’ve invested in China’s leading entrepreneurship ventures, such as the Beijing Genomics Institute, group-buying website Meituan-Dianping (with up to 10 million daily orders and deliveries), and Mobike, the largest shared (for hire) bicycle operator globally.

STEP DIGITAL: Asia Innovations Group, China 

One of the giants of mobile entertainment in Asia, AIG has a range of products including Uplive, one of the world’s largest live streaming platforms, as well as GIFTO, the largest application blockchain token in the world, and more.
