Venue

DEMO 2012 will be held at Matrix @ Biopolis, Singapore.

Asia will drive the majority of global growth in the next few decades, shaping global trade and investment flows. And soon, over two-thirds of the global middle class will come from Asia. There is no better place than Singapore to tap into this opportunity.

Known as the Gateway to Asia, Singapore’s strategic location provides close proximity to a market of 3.3 billion people, all within a few hours flying time. And as one of the fastest growing economies in Asia, her pro-business policy has drawn many foreign investors to Singapore, making her the prime location for investments in the Asia Pacific region.

Singapore is also recognized as the financial and business hub for Asia, offering many attributes such as a world-class infrastructure, a clean and stable environment and English-speaking population. This small island is also home to many multi-national corporations which serve the Asian markets. Singapore’s multi-cultural workforce also makes it easier for companies to understand the Asian marketplace.

DEMO Asia is the perfect platform for innovative start-ups to meet with key players of fast growing economies of Asia Pacific in one venue. We have lined up trade embassies, industry associations and members of the technology and investment communities from the countries like Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand.

“We are delighted to expand the DEMO network with the addition of DEMO Asia. All DEMO Alumni, starting with the fall class of 2011, will now have the opportunity for greater international exposure in the emerging technology community, connecting to entrepreneurs, investors, media and buyers on a global scale.”
