Reimagining Asia

The rise of Asian digital innovation

Host Ahmed Mazhari, president of Microsoft Asia speaks to Teddy Oetomo, president of Bukalapak, and Rui Ma, founder of Tech Buzz China, about the shift in digital innovation, from "made in Asia" to "born in Asia". For years Asia has been seen as the world’s factory floor – good at manufacturing products dreamt-up elsewhere. Now, there’s a new generation of home-grown innovators with the creativity, originality, and knowledge that’s fueling Asia to become the world’s new innovation engine. Asia is a place where ideas are originating, not just being executed. Reimagining Asia [https://reimaginingasia.economist.com/] explores the tectonic shift in the region's economy, and digital innovation in Asia. This episode is sponsored by Microsoft and produced by EI Studios, the custom division of Economist Impact. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
