Southeast Asia has remained a bright spot with ASEAN; poised for a 4.5 per cent real GDP growth in 2021. ASEAN’s growth is expected to accelerate with the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which will create the world’s largest trading bloc comprising about 30 per cent of global GDP and about a third of the world’s population.

it's OWL is supporting the German Singapore Business Forum through its initiative Stratosfare. The initiative 'Stratosfare' closes the gap between start-ups and established companies with the so-called 'Venture Client Model'. Companies become early customers (so-called clients) of the start-ups, who can apply their technology to the products, processes or business models of the established business models of the established company. The initiative acts as its own global brand and organizes the entire process of the model for it's OWL companies. Start-ups are centrally sought in the most important high-tech hotspots worldwide and presented to the it's OWL companies.
