As consumers increasingly look to digital means to obtain goods and services, it is only natural for businesses to upgrade themselves with cutting edge technology to deal with the demands of the Digital Economy,” said Yong Kai Ping, Chief Executive of SITEC.

It will expose local startups to pitching and networking opportunities with international investors, companies and innovators, as well as access to mentoring with some of the best leaders around.
