Global Opportunities in Digital Health: Asia Focus. Health Platform Startup

Guest Speakers:

Australian startups and businesses can benefit from consideration of global opportunities - starting with our close neighbour Indonesia.  Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia (GDP (PPP) ~$3.25tn with ~5% growth) and the world's third most populous democracy (with over 260 million people).  It is rapidly urbanising, enjoying rising incomes and a growing digital economy (with over 1700 digital startups) - which opens up new opportunities for digitally enabled startups.

There are important opportunities, challenges, and trends that Australian startups should consider regarding business in Indonesia.
