That said, the country is hitting an inflection point, with internet and smartphone usage becoming more and more common. It’s not dissimilar to the technology adoption spikes seen in other countries across Southeast Asia, like Indonesia and Vietnam, that led to a wave of high-flying tech startups. Bykea, a Pakistani startup that offers everything from motorbike hailing to delivery of goods, is set to ride that wave in its home country to become the next local tech giant.

    Taking a Mobile-first Approach to Democratizing Financial Services in ASEAN

    Looking back on the past decade, one of the most notable shifts has been the rapid spread of mobile technology, especially in Southeast Asia.

    The Journey to Launching a Virtual Events Platform Years Before the Pandemic Hit

    They say that with startups, timing is everything. Being early, or late, is the same as being wrong. This year has brought about more change than we can count, but with change comes opportunity for some.

    Applying AI to the Ever-Expanding Music Industry

Now, over 40,000 tracks are uploaded on to music platforms each day.

    When users head to Oway’s website to book travel in and out of Myanmar, they arrive at an easy-to-use portal where planning a trip end-to-end is within a few clicks. Much like U.S.-based Expedia, the 8-year-old startup offers up flight, hotel, car, and activity options for anyone wanting to get away. That said, the road to building and launching such a platform in Myanmar, a country of over 50 million where less than 1% of the population has a credit card, was far from easy, says CTO Tun Tun Linn.
