Startup Myanmar
The Startup News Asia quarterly round-up of Myanmar’s startup news headlines from April, May and June 2020.
Each item below is a tech-focused article or startup news headline from Q2 2020 covering an aspect of Myanmar’s startup space in some way – an announcement by a Myanmar startup about a product, pivot or funding round, or an article outlining changes to an aspect of Myanmar’s startup scene generally, for instance.
The focus here is on Myanmar, but we do include wider-world tech and startup news headlines to provide entrepreneurs with more points-of-reference, food for thought for early-stage Myanmar startups, and wider tech industry knowledge.
