##  **Think tank style workshops**

The morning of the Summit day consisted of three think tank style workshops running in parallel. The aim of the workshops, that were invite only, was to get a diverse, interesting mix of stakeholders from ecosystems across Asia sitting in the same room and discussing burning questions.

##  **Digital Health in Asia**

The Digital Health Workshop led by Nawal Roy (Holmusk) explored possibilities of leveraging technology for better, more accessible healthcare.

The main challenges in healthcare are the number of requests for doctors far outnumbering the slots for patients, and the low quality of the healthcare available in the region. One solution could be to leverage data for patients to be more proactive and manage themselves. Chatbot technologies can be used to manage triage and chronic diseases’ behavior, and to also filter out cases where patients need more attention. Eventually patients don’t need to go to the hospital to be diagnosed, and the hospital will manage resources and human capital to focus on more serious patients. Another solution closely linked to this, is tools for remote diagnostics.

Moreover, it is vital to democratize information as it is currently kept by the doctor. Medical records should be available to the patient, which would allow them to move freely between hospitals and doctors, better utilizing capacity. Heavily outdated regulations on big data prevent collaboration from happening, but open innovation with the government could be a way to tackle this. For startups the big challenge is to survive in the face of governments’ prolonged decision-making. Startups have to create enough evidence and collect enough data to proactively contribute to changing the laws.

Finally, in Asia there is no ecosystem yet and the systems are not open. Strategic partnerships have to be the key element to make healthcare more affordable.

##  **User acquisition at scale**

The User Acquisition at Scale led by Aimen Khan (Google) workshop helped startups to understand paid user acquisition and how machine learning can come into play as a tool to that effect. The challenge is that we collect tons of data, but we need to analyze it in a way that enables us to make decisions. Machine learning enables personalization at scale as, with its help, you can identify behavior of high quality users and target these high quality users only.

When it comes to apps and how to get people to download them, it is important to run experiments and to keep iterating to find the optimal user interface. With this data Google’s AI detects patterns, since “The machine knows your users better than you” (Aimen).

It is key to comprehend the Lifetime Value (LTV) of your users. This metric allows you to understand how valuable different users are to your business based on lifetime performance. “As long as LTV > Cost per Install there’s no reason not to scale”. A helpful tool to apply this to your startup is Google’s Lifetime Value calculator: [goo.gl/VjSXZd](http://goo.gl/VjSXZd)

For campaigns, Aimen Khan gives the following advice: Your campaign budget should be minimum 50x target CPA and you should keep budgets uncapped. Finally, have patience and wait 1-2 weeks to evaluate the results.

##  **The current tech investment landscape in Asia**

The tech investment landscape workshop led by Justin Nguyen (Monk’s Hill Ventures) provided an outlook for tech investments across sectors in Asia by aggregating and analyzing different ecosystem players’ insights into trends, pain points, and promising models.

E-commerce used to dominate the investment landscape and it’s still “damn big”. The biggest challenge is that although payment solutions have appeared, consumers are not adapting to them. As for the fintech sector, the biggest challenge remains regulation and the large lending gap.

The travel sector is dominated by Uber and Grab. This type of domination provides for many opportunities, in for example, the integration and distribution of complimentary services. However, such fierce rivalries also make for a complex investment landscape in the travel/mobility sector. On the deep tech table it was discussed that many founders lack skills other than engineering and that this is also accompanied by a disconnect between tech and traditional non-tech investors. It was also criticized that these founders make assumptions without the underlying data. Agtech plays an important role as we need to feed more and more people, but farmers don’t know how to use technology and why to use it. Similarly everyone agreed that edtech is an important industry but here the issue is that investors and startups don’t see many lucrative opportunities in it. After the last wave of investment mainly went to e-commerce, Justin Nguyen of Monks Hill Ventures now sees digital health as the next exciting sector for investors.

##  **Keynotes and panels on burning topics**

![speaker](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Keynote-720x480.width-800.width-800.jpg)

The Summit also featured keynote speakers from global companies, accelerators, and VC funds: [**Michael Foley**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-patrick-foley-499b60/) **(CEO of Grameenphone)** gave an inspiring talk on how working with entrepreneurs, as a telco and corporate in general, is the fun part of the job, that is also key to transformation. He spoke not only of how vital it is to involve startups as a corporate, but also of his respect for startups for “their courage in being judged again, and again, again”.

[Alyssa Maharani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssamaharani/) (Head of Startup Success at Google Launchpad Accelerator) provided valuable insights on how to design digital products for emerging market conditions. The energetic talk was full of actionable insights for all the different sorts of ecosystem players in the room.

Alyssa and Michael were followed by a panel hosted by CP Group on the Future of Food and Feed, and how agri tech can revolutionize food for the billions. The panel was moderated by[ Pearl Lee](https://www.linkedin.com/in/leepearl/) from Tech in Asia, and included [Abhinav Mehra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhinavmehra215/) from ID Capital and [Tim Hadsel Mares](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-hadsel-mares-169a7372/), of ScanTrust.

[Aimen Khan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aimen-khan/) (Mobile Marketing Consultant for Southeast Asia at Google) discussed how machine learning can be applied to increase mobile app users. This session was especially useful for the many startups in the room who use Google services.

Next up, [Alan Jiang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanjjiang/), Head of Business for Southeast Asia at ofo and [Adriana Collini](https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrianacollini/), Associate for Asia at Seedstars, held a fireside chat to discuss lessons learned from scaling Uber across SEA, and the sharing economy outlook.

To finish up the day, [Anisha Singh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anishasingh/), Founder and CEO of mydala, spoke inspiringly about how for founders, not quitting is a super power and already have the game.

##  **Two-days Invite-Only Bootcamp**

![group of people](https://seedstars-com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Capture-decran-2017-12-20-a-19.50.24-720x463.w.width-800.png)

The Investor Forum brought together representatives from Monk’s Hill Ventures, Cocoon Capital, NSI Ventures, Gobi Partners, Jungle Ventures, Digital Ventures, Addventures, 500, Bangkok Venture Club, and more.
