What Industry 4.0 holds for emerging tech companies and SMEs in SE Asia (Infographic)

When talking about business in Southeast Asia, you are talking about small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – they make up more than 95 percent of all businesses in the region. As such, SMEs are a key driver and contributor to the regional economy.

But being in the majority doesn’t mean everything is smooth sailing for SMEs, which face many challenges. This situation presents a huge and attractive opportunity for emerging tech companies.

The FinLab, a joint venture of United Overseas Bank, is on the lookout for emerging technology companies that are keen to work with SMEs in Southeast Asia. If you’re one of them, reach out on its website now.

Since 2015, The FinLab has been running acceleration programs to propel the growth of innovative fintech and tech companies, and catalyze the digital transformation of businesses.

After a successful run of the Southeast Asia’s first “Smart Business Transformation” program in Singapore in 2018, The FinLab is bringing the program to the rest of the region, starting with Thailand. The focus is on matching innovative technology solutions with Southeast Asian SMEs to help solve their business problems.
