On October 13th 2021, we held our 'How to grow your business in Asia during COVID' webinar, and it was a resounding success with a great turnout and a lively Q&A. The recording is available to view now.

Our CEO, Greg Sutch, has shared his thoughts on why the opportunities in Asia for western tech firms have never been greater in an article for UK growth platform Tech Nation.

In the year 2000, a Swiss foundation launched an international campaign to select the New Seven Wonders of the World amongst existing monuments - each a technological feat for its time. The winners were the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Wall of China, Chichen Itza, Petra, Machu Pichu, Christ the Redeemer, the Colosseum and the Taj Mahal.

This year - the 10th anniversary of Japan’s 2011 earthquake and tsunami – has not only brought back vivid memories of working in our Tokyo office that day, and what happened in the months that followed.

East Asia represents serious opportunities for western automation and robotics technology providers, and this is not just because of COVID. Asia was already fully embracing robotics and industrial automation before the pandemic. And, in a post-COVID world, the adoption of these technologies as well as industries that integrate them - like manufacturing, logistics, and ecommerce - continue their meteoric rise.

CES — just like the city that hosts it — is brilliant, flashy and outrageous. Our team was lucky enough to be at CES 2020 last week, so we sat down to ask what they saw and which tech innovators they think can expect to do well in East Asia this year.
