What's been missing is a focused, high-signal community connecting Atlanta's tech ecosystem to international markets and connecting international companies to Atlanta. That's what TAA is here to do. Join us for our virtual launch event: 🗓️Thursday, March 5th ⏰ 1:00 PM EST 🔗 Register for the event: https://luma.com/bzsv1dnu We'll share more about the chapter, the broader GTA network, and how you can get involved.

🚀 Northern tech’s growth outruns capital. At a roundtable hosted by Lloyds Business & Commercial and UKTN, founders and investors highlighted the strength of innovation across the North, from AI and robotics to advanced manufacturing and data-led businesses. The talent is here. The collaboration is here. The innovation is here. What’s missing is later-stage capital that allows companies to scale and stay in the North. Northern tech has shown resilience under constraint. The next chapter depends on whether funding and policy catch up.

Last week in Kuala Lumpur, I was struck by a familiar energy: a tech ecosystem gaining real momentum and earning its place on the global stage. During UK Southeast Asia Tech Week and a roundtable with Tech Malaysia Advocates and Selangor Information Technology & Digital Economy Corporation (Sidec), one thing was clear – Southeast Asia’s innovation story is evolving. While Singapore and Vietnam may often grab the headlines, Malaysia is quietly becoming a key hub for startups. Confidence is growing that companies can launch and scale here, supported by a government increasingly aligned with the tech sector. For Western firms, Malaysia offers a compelling first ASEAN entry point: regulatory clarity, strong technical talent, and growing strength in areas like semiconductors and AI. The challenges are real, too. Funding gaps persist for businesses scaling between $1m–$5m, and venture funds need a deeper understanding of deep tech to really accelerate growth. One insight stood out: the 'second market first' mentality. Malaysian startups that succeed in complex markets like Indonesia often return home with greater credibility and influence – a reminder that success is not always linear. I explored these themes with leaders from the London Stock Exchange, SIDEC, and the Department for Business and Trade – read more in my latest blog 👇 https://lnkd.in/eJmExNre Aaron Sarma Raj Mendhir Leslie Sarma Nicky van Domburg Loo Chuan Boon Thom Abbott Jason Ding Andrew McKeown Navin D.
