Startups, hungry to hear from tech giants Google and IBM? We have lined up two private luncheons just for you.

At Tech in Asia, startups are always on our mind. We are constantly thinking of ways to add value to entrepreneurs and founders in our conferences.

Our upcoming Tech in Asia Singapore 2015 conference features several highlights that we hope will be valuable to you. There will be a line-up of more than 40 awesome speakers to share about their founding stories, including 9GAG’s founder Ray Chan. We’ll have 36 of Asia’s top VCs and investors meeting startups in a structured, quick-fire manner at our Investor Speed Dating segment. Startups can also have face time with the likes of 3M, MediaCorp and Y-Combinator at Office Hour.

Now, we’re adding one more. Over the two days, tech giants Google and IBM will be hosting private luncheons for selected startups, and you are invited. On May 6, startups can learn from Google on how to scale their app using its Cloud Platform, as well as tips to monetize and retain their mobile users.

And if you are keen to understand the role of big tech companies in Southeast Asia’s startup environment, then be sure to attend the IBM luncheon panel on May 7, featuring speakers from VC firm Monk’s Hill Ventures, recruitment startup Glints, and data protection specialist Straits Interactive. There will also be a IBM Bluemix demo.

The detailed agenda can be found below.
