TechNode is back with our upgraded annual competition, AHB. That’s short for Asia Hot-tech Battle (formerly Asia Hardware Battle).
This year we’ve merged AHB with Life’s A Pitch, our virtual fundraising sessions, partnered up with more regional ecosystem leaders, and expanded outside of just hardware. AHB now covers: artificial intelligence, consumer electronics, edutech, fintech, foodtech, internet of things (IoT), medtech, new retail, proptech, and smart mobility.
AHB’s goal is to source the best rising stars in hot verticals across Asia. Don’t let the pandemic affect the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship.
