30 years of driving your success in Asia

Our 30th anniversary seemed a good time to fire some questions at our Founder and Chairman, James Lawson, to see what he had to say about his memories and experiences of Intralink over the last three decades.

Thirty years ago, the economics of East Asia were completely different. Japan – the world’s second largest economy – was in meltdown after the collapse of the stock market. The Chinese economy, in contrast, was in take-off mode, but fraught with danger for any over-enthusiastic foreign investor. Korea was known for shipbuilding and its dangerous neighbour but, as the 27th largest economy, was not on the radar of many business leaders.

We’re proud to be marking our 30th birthday! For the past three decades, we’ve been helping western companies to expand in East Asia, Asian corporates to collaborate with western innovation partners, and governments to grow their exports and attract foreign investment.
