Organised by e27, the TOP100 programme will provide global startups looking to expand in APAC with a launchpad to success – regardless of industry!
We are thrilled to be joining forces with the AI_ROBOT@STSP initiative earlier this year, a space which aims to support innovation in AI and Robotics on all levels, from educational initiatives and community building, to the establishment of an advanced makerspace and accelerator programs for early stage AI and Robotics startups, to empower the formation of a regional entrepreneurship ecosystem.
