Startup News Asia’s monthly snapshot of tech news headlines from Hong Kong, New Zealand and Thailand, curated from online news outlets during August 2022. This month, these countries were ‘quieter’ in SNA’s news gathering, hence their listing here rather than on a standalone page for each country.
We’ve recently launched weekly tech news updates on Substack, alongside weekly startup news summaries on LinkedIn, and the less-frequent SNA e-newsletter on Revue.
