In a year of economic headwinds and market uncertainty, it’s easy to hit pause. It’s tempting to wait and see.
But the builders, innovators, and leaders shaping Southeast Asia’s future aren’t waiting – they are coming together, preparing to take action.

They will be at Tech in Asia Conference 2025, the annual gathering of those who defy expectations and keep building. This is the final call to join them.
This year, we’ve rebuilt the conference experience from the ground up to address the challenges you’re faced with and unlock new opportunities. Forget generic panels and surface-level talks. We’re doubling down on what matters: tangible insights, high-value networks, and battle-tested strategies for growth.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll miss if you’re not in the same room:
Product Stage
It’s a brand-new platform dedicated to the craft of building. Hear in-the-trenches stories from founders and product leaders who have navigated brutal market shifts, scaled their teams against the odds, and shaped world-class products.
Unconference
Scripts, slides, and formal presentations don’t matter here. It is a space for authentic, unscripted discussions on the tech industry’s most critical challenges.
Imagine outlining the agenda live, leading conversations, and collaborating with peers and leaders to forge real solutions – no lectures, just powerful connections and raw insights.
Stage sessions you can’t afford to miss:
- From reckoning to rebuilding: Defying expectations in Indonesia’s startup ecosystem
- Leadership in the AI era: How to guide product teams in a rapidly evolving, AI-driven landscape
- The Southeast Asia thesis in 2025
- From YouTube to Academy: The Mantappu Journey
Our featured speakers include:
- Achmad Zaky, founder of Bukalapak and founding partner at Init-6 Venture Capital
- Philipp Kandal, chief product officer at Grab
- David Gowdey, managing partner at Jungle Ventures
- Jerome Polin, founder of Mantappu Corp and CEO Mantappu Academy
- Petra Müller, vice president of Forge Ventures
In a world of “wait and see,” the real builders are making their move. The energy at this year’s Tech in Asia Conference is proof. If you’re ready to tune out the noise and arm yourself with actionable knowledge and partnerships that truly matter, this is where you need to be.
