- If you want to understand the rise of Asia's Tech Ecosystem look to the Megacities covered in the new Asia Matters Report as the engines of growth, not the countries.

- Asia is big, but we didn't realise how "big" it really was until we got out there, boots on the ground and did out research for this report. No longer is Asia all about "markets of billions". The Asia of 2018 is a market of multiple wealth centers (the Megacities), a rapidly emerging middle class and a vision to connect all these dots together with huge infrastructure investment. Why build walls when you can build bridges?

- China could create 15-20 Silicon Valleys of its own in the near future.

- Asia is rapidly emerging from the shadows of "The West" to become the new world leader in everything from startup ecosystems to retail malls.

- 66% of the world's middle class will be in Asia within 10 years. Our "Asia Matters" presentation is the story of Asia's rise from being a world of cheap "knockoffs" dependent on The West to becoming its own self-sufficient engine of economic growth.
