Since 2014, much has changed and the scene has certainly evolved. One of the most striking trends has been the explosion of accelerators in Singapore as operators all over the world take advantage of the emerging Southeast Asian startup scene to expand their operations, source for talent, and tap into the emerging growth markets of the region. While accelerators are nothing new, globally, we're seeing renewed fervour by governments and large corporates to embrace this relatively new model of company creation. The promises of the accelerator bandwagon are attractive: Startups are the new growth engine for the digital economy, create (high value) jobs, foster faster product innovations within large organisations, and it doesn't hurt that they are hip and trendy
