Asia market awareness matters to Startups

Startups that are incubated and accelerated and ready to go global often have little Asian market knowledge or connectedness. Innovators and Startups who want to find commercial partners in the world’s fastest growing markets may hesitate, because they consider Asia and in particular China, to be risky and they may have no connections in market.
Uprasia will provide curated assistance with
experienced staff, advisors and mentors who are capable of translating, guiding and performing due diligence is a vital part of the program.

"For Australian HealthTech Startups,
