TOP100 this year is going to be much bigger and more competitive

This year, we’ll be expanding our TOP100 pitching competition to more countries outside of Southeast Asia , which includes Australia, Japan, Russia, and China.

Each year, our team travels to various countries in search of the most promising startups. Shortlisted startups will be invited to pitch their startups to a panel of judges in a private pitching competition and given scores based on the overall evaluation of their ideas, companies, and teams. The top hundred startups with the highest scores will be invited down to our flagship event, Echelon Asia Summit 2019, where they will have the opportunity to get exposure for their ideas, seek funding from investors, and find partners to expand their businesses.

Our Echelon Roadshow will also be taking place on the same day as TOP100. It involves a series of panel discussions, fireside chats and workshops held to educate the public on pressing topics in the startup scene. The results of TOP100 will also be announced during the roadshow, so we urge you to stay and connect with like-minded people and expand your network and opportunities.

The final champion of Top100 will receive attractive prizes and most importantly, exposure and funding for their business, which is the most crucial factor for emerging startups. We will do the work and help to connect you with potential investors in your field.

There have been many success stories from our past TOP100 competitions, with over $120 million raised and over 600 investors involved, mainly from their participation in Echelon Asia Summit, the biggest tech startup conference which will be happening in May in Singapore this year.

So what are you waiting for? This is your chance to mingle with investors, gain publicity for your business, increase your knowledge of the tech startup ecosystem in the region and get the opportunity to partner and work with others!

If you think your idea is capable of making changes, challenge yourself in TOP100 — we trust that there will be nothing but benefits for you and your team.
