The future of how Asia’s population will live, work and play will be determined by what we build and adopt in our lifetimes.

The opportunities and challenges are extensive, and the way for us to move fast and forward is to tackle them together.

This Echelon, we explore how startups, investors, corporates and government bodies can work together across borders to tackle similar challenges and pressing issues, and empower the larger ecosystem to build the Future of Asia.

We deep dive into how cities and regions interact, share a common voice, and technological advancements are accelerated by riding socio-economic movements and leveraging shared platforms and knowledge.

As Asia’s leading platform for tech startups and investments for 8 years now, Echelon Asia Summit will take on cross border engagements, talent growth, and showcasing APAC’s emerging and leading companies from the heart of Singapore this June. Will you join us?

BE PART OF THE ECHELON EXPERIENCE

Join e27’s flagship platform, Echelon, in empowering insights, connections, talent and funding opportunities for all stakeholders of Southeast Asia’s tech ecosystem to build and grow their businesses.
