This document discusses strategies for startups and companies to grow successfully in Asia while dealing with local disruption. It notes that Asia has historically been entrepreneurial and an important center for trade. Today, Asia has a large number of internet users and mobile connectivity that have enabled the rise of startups in sectors like e-commerce, fintech, logistics and health tech. Incumbents are advised to focus on new business models and work with startups to avoid disruption. While many Asian startups focus only on their local markets, the document suggests opportunities for expansion to other regions in Asia or Europe by leveraging Asia's strengths in areas such as manufacturing, logistics and emerging technologies.
