Over the last two years, ecommerce maintains its seat as the most represented vertical on the list, emphasizing the country’s innovative and fast developing market in the tech scene. Impressively, Coupang has also proven itself by standing at the top of South Korea’s tech startup chain since 2014, and for two years in a row on Tech in Asia’s list. The company is now valued at US$5 billion, netting over US$1.4 billion in funding.
