Nerds, hackers, CEOs to descend upon Singapore for Startup Asia 2014

TechinAsia.com, Asia’s largest English-language technology and startup blog, is gearing up to bring you yet another round of its signature conference series with Startup Asia Singapore 2014, happening May 7 — 8 right in the heart of Biopolis, Singapore’s deep tech research center.

Startup Asia Singapore 2014 will feature a Startup Arena pitching competition, a Hackathon, and a Startup and Investor speed dating session. It will also give you two new highlights: Meet the Blogger and Market Expansion Tracks.

On the pitching contest, Startup Arena, both seed and growth-stage startups will be accepted and compete together on day one. About 10 to 15 startups will eventually take to the stage to compete for USD10,000 in cash. Submit your startup here! (the latest submission for Startup Arena is on March 31, 2014).

In the same Startup Asia Singapore 2014 conference, Tech in Asia is simultaneously running a 24-hour hackathon which will see over 200 developers building products with APIs and SDKs from numerous partner companies. The list of APIs and SDKs will be announced soon.

Tech in Asia is very privileged to have Singapore Minister of State Teo Ser Luck as the Guest of Honour. MOS Teo has been extremely involved in championing entrepreneurship in Singapore and is the perfect person to help us kick off Day One of the conference.

A few other highly respected names have also agreed to speak and they include Fritz Demopoulos (co-founder of China’s Qunar.com that recently went IPO on NASDAQ), Min-Liang Tan (founder and CEO of Razer), and Dave Morin (founder and CEO of Path). You can look forward to hearing about their experiences and picking their brains about the future. Find out more about the speakers line up here.
