DECEMBER, 20226 The Asia-Pacific region has been gradually displacing the United States as the leader in the startup industry during the past decade. India, China, Japan, and Singapore are just a few of the nations that are startup hotbeds in the region. Since the British colonial era, nations like China and India have served as major trading hubs; however, Singapore, a younger country, has become the epicenter of the startup revolution. The favorable taxation system and the ease of establishing business have attracted several international firms to invest in Singapore. The country is home to 20 unicorns as of 2022, most active in Southeast Asia. Singapore's venture capital fund investments totaled S$8.18 billion over 388 investment deals in the first half of 2022. Compared to the same time last year, that represented a 54% rise.This issue of APAC CIOoutlook features the `Top 10 Singapore Startups - 2022,' which highlights some of the key developments in the startup space and how the country's startup scene has experienced significant growth in recent years, despite pandemic-driven market limitations. It features companies like Phaos Technology, an advanced optics technology startup that makes nano-scopes at a fraction of the cost of expensive electron microscopes by using advanced micro-sphere technology.The magazine also highlights the opinions of Amra Naidoo, Co-founder & General Partner of Accelerating Asia, and Dan Liu, Partner in Venture and Growth Capital of CDH Investments. They respectively discuss how Singapore has become the new hyperbole in the startup industry and how technological advancements have affected the healthcare sector in the Asia-Pacific region.Write to us about how Asia-Pacific countries' dominance in the startup sector has affected the functioning of your organizations!Annie JohnsonEditorialThe Startup RenaissanceAnnie JohnsonManaging Editoreditor@apacciooutlook.comArt & GraphicsAmelia StewartDavid ParkerToby LangtonJie Ch'angManaging EditorAnnie JohnsonSenior WritersLane Adams Clara MathewRoyce D'SouzaEditorialAlfred MardinLouis BeckerRachael Clark Michael LivingstonRoy ChowDai ShihDan Stanley Mark SylvesterDECEMBER - 21 - 2022, Volume 08 - Issue - 06 (ISSN 2644-2876)Published by ValleyMedia Inc.Emailsales@apacciooutlook.comeditor@apacciooutlook.commarketing@apacciooutlook.comTo subscribe to APACCIOOutlookVisit www.apacciooutlook.comCopyright © 2022 ValleyMedia Inc.
