2020 has been a roller coaster of a year for us at Tech in Asia. We had tons of exciting plans to herald the start of a new decade, but then we had to quickly revise, revamp, and rework them in the face of Covid-19 and all the changes that it brought about.

It hasn’t been an easy journey, but we’ve pivoted and transformed, embracing the new normal. We’re just as committed – if not more so – to our vision of building and serving Asia’s tech and startup community.

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished this year despite all the challenges that came our way. Here’s a look at our 2020.
