Mitchell Pham joins us to discuss the latest Asian tech trends that are shaping the new economy and impacting society, and why New Zealand businesses should pay attention.
Asia has bounced back from COVID-19 quicker and stronger than most areas of the globe. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts China’s economy will grow by over 8% in 2021. China could account for 20% of global GDP by 2050 and India 15%, while US declines to 12% and the EU to 9%.
Even if you are not a tech company or only focus on the NZ market, you need to monitor Asia tech and stay ahead of the curve as more and more Asia tech trends will arrive here.
Mitchell Pham is a cofounder and director of the Augen Software Group in New Zealand and Vietnam, and cofounder of the Kiwi Connection Tech Hub – a platform for NZ technology businesses to accelerate presence & engagement in South East Asia. He currently chairs technology industry bodies NZTech and FinTechNZ, as well as government advisory entity Digital Council for Aotearoa NZ. Mitchell is an Honorary Advisor at the Asia New Zealand Foundation, chair of the NZ Asia Institute and also the ASEAN Business Alliance. Internationally, he is recognised as an Asia 21 Fellow and Global Council member of the Asia Society, and a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.
