This year I had the pleasure to be invited to moderate a panel on Asia at LeWeb – Europe’s largest Internet conference.
For this panel and despite the difficulty in representing fairly “Asia”, I did my best to get speakers from all key geographies: Japan, Korea, China and South-East Asia. The result was a quality of shared knowledge rarely seen on a topic that is already mainstream in Asia, but still avant-garde in the Western world:
“Asia: Digital Life, Real Billions”
Panelists:
Naoki Aoyaki, Senior Vice President, Business Development & CFO, GREE > GREE is a mobile SNS making over US$500 million revenue this year with only 22 million users, in Japan only!
Yiqun Bo, Vice-President & Co-Founder, Great Wall Club > Organizers of the “LeWeb of Asia” in China, and a recognized expert on mobile and web in China.
Steven Goh, CEO, Mig33 > Largest mobile SNS in SE Asia with 40 million registered users.
Chang Kim, ex-CEO of TNC, Product Manager, Google Blogger > Entrepreneur & expert blogger who was first to sell a company to Google in Asia.
Jimmy Kim, CEO, Nexonova > Nexon has 15 years experience with online gaming in Korea and overseas, and is on track for $1 billion revenue this year. No need to say more!
Takuya Miyata, Senior Vice President, Global Business, mixi > Closest SNS to Facebook in Japan. Miyata-san is also a serial entrepreneur.
