Coming up next week, Plus Eight is running a series of events on Expanding to Asia featuring Mark Ikauniks, Venture Partner at Accelerating Asia Ventures (“AAV”) in Singapore. The first is a Fireside Chat on May 28 where Mark will share insights about how to take advantage of the fact that over sixty percent of the world’s population lives within two hours of Perth’s GMT Plus Eight-time zone, and the opportunities that opens up for Perth businesses.
Following this event, join Mark for an Exclusive Workshop where a small group will explore how startups and scaleups in the South East Asia region have access to significant market potential with $7.6+ billion of venture capital funding being deployed in SEA to date (and is continuing through the current economic crisis). Enjoy access to unique activities with tailored tips and tricks for each founder to grow and scale their business in a new market.
And, if you’re still after access to more of Mark’s knowledge, we have a range of 1-on-1 mentoring sessions available to help you unlock this high potential opportunity for your business!
