Learn how to put your startup on the world map at Tech in Asia’s Hong Kong meetup

Entrepreneurs are constantly looking for ways to grow their business, with the ultimate goal of expanding their business globally. Yet, international expansion is easier said than done. Not many have the know-how to stand out in a competitive foreign market – and here is where you’ll want to seek insights from experienced founders who have been there, done that.
This October 31, the Tech in Asia Hong Kong City Chapter team has put together a panel discussion titled “Global Expansions for Startups” consisting founders from domestic startups AfterShip, Pokeguide and UberEATS, who have made their mark internationally.
If you’re a startup looking to expand your operations on a global scale, come join us! Limited free tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
