Innovation is everywhere - Malaysia Innovation Ecosystem and Startup SceneInnovation is Everywhere
Malaysia is a rather small country in populous South-East Asia, with 29 million inhabitants, North of Singapore and south of Thailand, with a "peninsular" part and half the island of Borneo (shared with Indonesia).
Malaysia has been early to invest a lot in high technology and has a Silicon Valley of its own since 1997. Is infrastructure enough to create conditions for innovation?
In this presentation, we share the milestones of Malaysia as an innovation ecosystem, we identify their best practices (in particular the neat organization of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Kuala Lumpur) and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
Read more about us as we roam the world to explore the emerging markets startups scenes, from Iran to Chile, from China to Nigeria.

Innovation is Everywhere
Nigeria... Yes, it's big, ugly, dangerous, poor, too big, too hot, too rainy. And it's Africa's biggest country and economy, so the potential for startups and entrepreneurs is huge.
During our trip to Lagos to attend the Mobile West Africa 2014 conference, we listened to the speakers, met the key players of the local tech ecosystem, and were amazed, just like all the other emerging markets we explore, by the creativity, the will, and the startups we saw.
Take the trip with us to dive into Nigeria's startup scene. As usual, we love to look back in time to see what are the milestones explaining why the country is where it is today. Oddly enough, Nigeria has long been a very isolated country, with few exports else than natural resources.
Since Nollywood and the most creative movie industry of the continent, it's changing.
Despite the kilometric list of challenges the country is facing, a lot of spots and startups are to be discussed. Wecyclers, BudgIT are among the secret gems we discovered in Lagos, and for sure, there's more than that.
My presentation for the Blue Startups conference East Meets West 2014 on November 6-7 at the Modern Honolulu on Oahu, Hawaii - this was a 30-minute talk on the history of the Hong Kong startup scene and snapshots at other Asian startup hubs.
An introduction to Vietnam Startup Community and Ecosystem. Where to go to meet local startups. Where to stay while visiting the community.
And if you plan to come to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Please do contact me, our team has experience and technology to host monthly startup events here. In the past, we hosted special guests from Rackspace, Chartio, SoftLayer, JFDI and TechInAsia.

Few countries can boast having a third of its GDP stored as mobile money in the hands of a telecom group. There is no miracle in the rise of MPesa, but a deep understanding by Safaricom of the social fabric of East Africa’s tech and economic hub, as well as a lots of test and try. The lure of mobile money have lots of startups competing into this space, to connect remittances, shopping and payments to the MPesa infrastructure. Other than that, Kenya is also experiencing a double motion in its innovation ecosystem: if it’s definitely a community-driven startup hub, its government is also playing a key role through laws and pharaonic projects.

10 French startups disrupting the way you experience fashion online Liam Boogar-Azoulay
It may sound like a stretch to say that French people are the reference for fashion. But as we say, “il n’y a pas de fumée sans feu” (there’s no smoke without fire).
In addition to having a very prolific fashion sense, the French are also very creative when it comes to the shopping experience. The landscape of French fashion startups is flourishing those days: 6 of the 10 companies presented in this article closed a round last spring/summer season and the results of their investments are released now. Let’s open the catwalk: http://wp.me/p2OgMk-65W
"Failure by Omission" is the idea that family, friends, and loved ones around an entrepreneur have a responsibility to give constructive feedback; otherwise, if that entrepreneur fails, they too have failed by having slowed his failure or avoided giving him feedback in order to "not hurt his feelings."
This applies additionally to entrepreneurs, who have an obligation to seek constructive feedback from everyone they can, to push beyond short-worded platitudes ("Oh, we love what you're doing!") to help their startup fail faster.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
