Minister of Trade & Industry Teo Ser Luck kicked off the first day of Startup Asia with a keynote on why Asia can be the next Silicon Valley and shared the expansion plans for Block 71. “We want to give a chance to young people,” he said, “Or anyone who didn’t have a chance to be in entrepreneurship.” He was followed by Vietnam’s top Internet company, VNG, as CEO Le Hong Minh introduced himself as a gamer in the run with other companies to be the top in the gaming industry. His presence was certainly with enough game, but Hootsuite and Quietly’s fireside chat made a loud entrance with their ““thriv[ing], not just surviv[ing]” attitude. “If you aren’t embarrassed by your first product launch, you probably waited too long,” said co-founder Dario Meli on Quietly’s progress. Ecommerce giants gathered on the stage next to discuss the logistics behind the markets of Southeast Asia, and we were opened to the predicted trends from the minds of key players from Qoo10, Taobao, Zalora and Rakuten Ventures.
