Asia’s Tech News, Monthly
Technology ecosystems across the broad Asia and Indo-Pacific regions experience, for obvious reasons, a huge range of developments, whether in core technologies and implementations or in funding and market growth opportunities.
In September 2024, Asia’s tech news headlines captured items as diverse as: Taiwan-Korea discussions around semiconductor manufacturing in the UAE; China’s energy productions plans around 150 nuclear reactors; Australia’s proposed fines for social media platforms’ failure to combat misinformation; the Malaysia-led ASEAN Startup Initiative; Singapore’s Brilliant Labs and their AI-driven Frame smart glasses; and many, many more.
Alongside the September Asia tech news round-ups, we also provide a headline summary of the month’s news in critical technologies – those technologies that play a crucial role in a country’s economic and security activity. Follow the link for the September 2024 critical technologies news summary.
