The information technology (IT) market continues to evolve rapidly in Asia. The region has long served as a leading outsourcing destination, offering an advanced IT ecosystem for foreign investors.

While foreign investors have many options to develop their business in Asia, where and how to invest is a key consideration given the unique offerings of tier one hubs like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangalore as well as other emerging hubs in mainland China, Southeast Asia, and India.

The industry’s exponential development in the region – underpinned by the size of the labor pool as well as innovation and adoption of digital infrastructure – does, however, have to contend with existing laws and regulations in Asia that have not always been able to keep pace with the global industry, especially in areas such as data privacy and cyber security.

In this labor- and compliance-heavy environment, foreign investors need to be well-informed to maintain a competitive business.

How we can help companies achieve a competitive advantage within the IT industry:

The fast-changing investment conditions within this industry and overall regulatory landscape require companies to be diligent when investing in the Asian IT industry.

Countries in the region are fast developing local compliance norms for foreign investors. Our IT teams can help businesses assess any risks and help structure corporations to reap the benefits of investing in this industry.
