We were proud to host a group of promising AI startups from Korea in Singapore as part of a regional market exposure initiative supported by the AI Cluster Agency of Korea (AICA). This visit aimed to equip these companies with the insights and tools needed to scale into Southeast Asia’s dynamic and fast-evolving markets.

As part of the programme, we conducted a hands-on “How to Pitch” training session to help the startups effectively articulate their value propositions to potential Southeast Asian investors and partners. Each startup had the opportunity to present their business to a curated group of audience members, including venture capitalists, corporate representatives, and ecosystem partners.

Beyond the pitching sessions, we provided one-on-one strategic consultations with each participating company. These personalized advisory sessions focused on key areas such as market readiness, ideal entry strategies, potential local partnerships, and adapting business models to regional demand.
The energy and ambition from the startups were truly inspiring, and we are excited to see how they continue to grow and connect with new opportunities across Southeast Asia.
Special thanks to AICA Korea for entrusting us as a partner in this initiative, and to all our local collaborators and attendees who contributed to making this event a success.
