Technology startups in Asia-Pacific: A jurisdictional guide

As we enter a new decade with various uncertainties, there is only one thing that is certain: the adoption of new technologies will continue as individuals and companies embrace and become more reliant on different forms of new technology. Particularly in 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and moving things "virtual", there has been a growing need for technology capabilities to evolve and adapt to new working styles in order to keep up with increasing demand. This guide aims to provide an overview of the different regulatory landscapes of setting up a technology start-up in Asia-Pacific. Focusing on the hot spots: Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, and Taiwan, we aim to highlight what start-ups should be thinking about when making a decision of where to establish their company, and what sort of government incentives are available.
