Where Silicon Dragons & Tigers Meet:

Startup Asia

 

The tech innovation trends I described in Silicon Dragon are fast evolving throughout Asia. Just as China copied the U.S. success models Facebook, Google and Amazon, India has copied China's best, and so has Vietnam. In Ho Chi Minh City, social networking and gaming startup VNG wraps in both China's leading tech companies, Tencent and Shanda.

 

The giant nations of India and China are leading the Startup Asia trends as they progress from copycats to innovations and develop their own brand of entrepreneurship, India only slightly trailing China along the venture capital trail.  Looking to the future, Vietnam and the country's wired entrepreneurs most remind me of those I saw in the first generation of China  'technopreneurs.'  Continue reading at Forbes. 

 

Startup Asia traces the best practices of these nations' entrepreneurs in the fastest-growing market sectors - mobile, cleantech, consumer commerce. Then, it delves into top strategies for winning market leadership, from taking a startup from zero to IPO, to disrupting the standard to going global. Startup Asia entrepreneurs are upbeat, a lively, successful group ho just say no to naysayers.
