This session explores how founders can leverage emerging markets as a launchpad for international growth, from expanding into neighbouring markets to entering the rest of Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond. Hear from founders and ecosystem leaders who have successfully navigated cross-border expansion, built strategic partnerships, and scaled internationally. Gain practical insights into market entry strategies, fundraising, regulatory considerations, and the support available to help startups take their innovations from Central Asia and other emerging markets to the global stage.
