TAIPAN EDGE: Empowering ASEAN’s Growth Potential

The ASEAN region stands as a unique convergence of cultural and economic diversity within Asia. While the spotlight has traditionally been on the tiger economies of China and India, ASEAN, with a combined GDP of approximately USD 3.1 trillion, is rapidly emerging as a powerhouse in its own right. If viewed as a single economy, ASEAN would rank as the 5th largest globally, with a population exceeding 662 million.

Despite its immense potential, ASEAN presents a complex landscape for investors and entrepreneurs. Far from being a monolithic market, it comprises a tapestry of diverse cultures, religions, preferences, and economic disparities. To unlock the region’s full potential and drive the creation of more unicorns in Asia, ASEAN entrepreneurs must transcend national boundaries, developing products and services that cater to the varied needs of this multifaceted market.

Our focus is on disruptive, high-growth companies with the ambition to scale. We partner with entrepreneurs across Asia, accelerating their business ideas through meticulous execution and leveraging our extensive network of industry advisors and investment partners. Sector-agnostic in our approach, we align with innovative ventures across industries, ensuring our alliances continue to expand and evolve to meet the demands of a dynamic and rapidly changing region.

SELECT ALLIANCE PARTNERS

We believe that the best innovation ecosystems don't occur by chance – they are created by bringing together knowledge (access to learning), collaboration (catalyst platforms for communication, critical and diverse thinking, experience sharing, and new resources), and realizing synergies (with potential customers, investors, and validators for commercialization). We provide aspiring and high-potential startups and scaleups alike, the access to these three key elements to catalyze research & development, collaboration, rapid market validation, and capital access in short cycle times.

• We establish cross-border relationships across the ASEAN region thereby allowing them to reach beyond the borders of their home country and achieve maximum market penetration and growth. We have partners in major Asian markets like China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and India, as well as a proprietary presence in Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam

• We understand regional deal-flow - by leveraging on Taipan’s proprietary M&A research platform, Taipan provides companies and investors with macro and micro-economic insights to make the right calls across investments, product, and expansion strategies

• Access to mentorship and partnership platforms, to achieve scale and fill in key gaps across skill sets and expertise that cannot be achieved with the company's own limited resources

• Access to capital, we work with our global network of co-investment partners in bridging the gap between capital and businesses with high impact scale-up needs
