We looked at the importance of establishing partnerships for tech startups, the challenges faced by entrepreneurs within this space, and the future of Malaysia’s tech startup ecosystem.

The Web Summit 2023 in Lisbon has started. The opening of the technological event was as atmospheric as the Apple presentation. I noted two interesting startups, and my team and I have already started studying their products.
For his part, the Portuguese Minister of Economy said that we have to build a world between Startrek and The Matrix. He also added that Portugal and the European Union will make this dream a reality. Interestingly, among the speakers was one startup that was also sitting in the audience a year ago, but now it's here - on the main stage. Hmmm... I think his course has set a new goal - don't you? 😏
