Beyond Market Entry: New Playbook for Scaling Across Asia
Southeast Asia may look like one market, but scaling across the region often means navigating eleven very different ones.
This intimate luncheon by Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) and Tech in Asia brings together leaders who have scaled across Asia to unpack what it takes to build, partner, and win across fragmented markets.
Get an early look at new research from CKGSB and IE University on how globalizing companies scale across markets. Leave with a clearer view of what travels well, where local adaptation matters, and how to sharpen your growth strategy across Southeast Asia.
