Startup Hub: Q&A with Joseph Khong of ACE

ACE's Head of Communications & Engagement Joseph Khong was recently interviewed by KrASIA on the role that ACE plays in the Singapore startup ecosystem and the opportunities that lay ahead for startups.

"We've come quite far in the past decade, especially if you look at the number of startups we have and the kinds of players in the ecosystem," said Joseph. 

"We have seen an increase in the usage of digital solutions in many countries, along with a growing trust in these solutions. So I think scalable digital solutions are something that startups can look into, whether in financial services, e-commerce, manufacturing, or other sectors. Startups have a plethora of issues and pain points to address, and this holds true across all sectors."
