Hello from Hong Kong

That was the view from the Sky100 - ICC viewing deck where the EPiC 2023 event was held this Friday. I was invited to cover the event and speak to the startups that are participating in it.

This reminds me of the best part of my job: Getting to meet people from all around the world and speaking about the innovative things that they are working on. It was the one thing that I missed the most during the lockdowns, and I am grateful that we finally get to travel again.

I am currently working on stories from the trip and really can't wait to show everyone the innovation that I get to see during the trip. I would also like to send a special thank you to Sam Yan and the team at HKSTP - Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation for their warm hospitality. Looking forward to meeting you all again in Singapore!

This week, my colleague Sainul Abudheen K also introduced several new series at e27 (Optimatic) . From Failing to Succeed to Bootstrapped, these stories aim to tell founders' stories with the hope that it can be a lesson for the rest of us--because there is nothing better than learning from your peers. Check out this article for an example and do not hesitate to reach out to him if you feel like you are the right person for this kind of content.

See you all next week. Happy Labour Day.
