TOKYO -- More Japanese-led startups are setting up shop in Southeast Asia, looking to vault onto the global stage from this fast-growing region of 600 million people rather than become mired in Japan's idiosyncratic regulations and practices.
The Japanese founders of AnyMind Group, which offers advertising and recruitment support using artificial intelligence, chose to establish their company in Singapore because "we wanted from the beginning to build a world-class business," CEO Kosuke Sogo said.
