ICT
Industry in Asia
Asia
has become a hotbed for adoption of some new technologies in recent years, especially in the field of Internet of things (IoT)
and robotics. This is partly driven by manufacturing firms, most notably in China, which are rapidly deploying these solutions.
It also reflects commitments from Asian governments and business leaders to leverage new technologies as a solution to the region’s
economic and demographic challenges, such as robotics as a response to curb labor shortages in Japan. Smart city investments in
the region are also eye-catching, with the high penetration rate of mobile devices allowing some countries to ‘leapfrog’
legacy technologies. The challenge will be to increase broader adoption of software solutions which have the potential to deliver
a more transformative economic impact 1 .
Driven
by the rapid growth of IoT in recent years, coupled with the investments in the manufacturing and transportation industries, new
technologies are already approaching $1 trillion in annual revenue. Over the next few years, other new categories such as robots/drones
and AR/VR headsets in addition to related software and services will see similar growth. This increasing proportion of spending
targeted at new categories will drive the overall industry to a new growth surge over the next decade as businesses move beyond
prototyping into broader deployments of technologies such as augmented reality viewers and AI-enabled robots.

ICT
Industry – Hong Kong
Hong
Kong’s role as a leading business center in the Asia region can be evidenced by its advanced telecommunications infrastructure.
According to Global Information Technology Report 2016 by the World Economic Forum, Hong Kong is in the third rank in Asia (12th
in the world) in the Networked Readiness Index, indicating Hong Kong’s advanced position in telecommunications infrastructure,
regulatory environment, and business readiness of using information technology. 2 The ICT sector of Hong Kong is among
the most advanced in the world. According to the annual global ICT Development Index published by ITU in November 2017, Hong Kong
ranked second in Asia after Korea, and sixth in the world. 3
The
industry of information and communications in Hong Kong had generated HK$84.1 billion (US$10.7 billion) of value added during
2016, contributing to 3.5% of GDP. In term of industry data, Hong Kong had household broadband penetration rate at 92.6% (as at
February 2018). 4 The Hong Kong Internet connection speeds are among the highest in the world, according to the Office
of the Communication Authority. In Hong Kong, IT products and services suppliers were the largest category of IT users, accounting
for 34.2% of total IT employment, followed by the wholesale, retail, import/export, restaurants and hotels sector (28.8%), the
financing, insurance, real estate and business services sector (17.9%), and the community, social and personal services sector
(11.4%). 4
Hong
Kong’s ICT spending is on track to grow 3.8% in 2018 to HK$144.42 billion, according to the latest projections from Gartner.
Total spending on technology and products in the market is projected to turnaround following a 9.2% decline in spending in 2017,
and grow a further 1.9% in 2019 to reach HK$147.19 billion. Communications services will remain the largest category overall,
but total spending in this category is projected to decline slightly from 2017 to HK$49 billion. Spending on devices by contrast
will increase significantly to HK$47.9 billion, taking it closer to becoming the top spending category in the Hong Kong market.
Spending on software will also increase by 9.2% to HK$13.15 billion, and the IT services segment will grow 3.5% to HK$28.4 billion.
Data center systems spending will by contrast stay mostly flat at HK$5.89 billion. 5
Hong
Kong government has put in place initiatives to foster the ICT industry development, which included funding support, provision
of infrastructure, international cooperation and manpower development. One of the example will be The Smart City Blueprint, which
unveiled in December 2017, maps out development plans for the next five years to enhance Hong Kong sustainability by making use
of innovation and technology. The Hong Kong government’s Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) has provided an alternative
source of funding for the IT industry. As of end-March 2018, the ITF had approved 7,359 funding applications on projects with
a total of HK$ 14 billion. Last but not least, Hong Kong has a large pool of skilled ICT professionals, providing services to
clients spanning a wide range of businesses. According to the 2016 Manpower Survey Report conducted by the VTC, 87,794 persons
were employed in principal jobs of the IT sector. 6

ICT
Industry in ASEAN
The
economy in Southeast Asia region is expected to grow at a yearly average of 5.2% from 2018 to 2022 7 , with studies projecting
the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) to become the fourth largest single market in the world by 2030 8
- putting it behind only the US, China and the European Union. The region’s steady growth is fueled by an increasingly well-educated
workforce, a wealth of natural resources, rapid urbanization and growing infrastructure spending. In addition, ASEAN is in a strategic
location in the confluence of major trade routes, with US$5.3 trillion of global trade passing through each year 9 .
Our company sees that the opportunity of ASEAN’s strong and vibrant economy, favorable demographics, ICT investments, and
ongoing economic integration have laid the foundation for rapid growth in the digital economy.
10 The
six largest economies in ASEAN (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Vietnam) contribute 99% of the total
ASEAN GDP. Many of the fundamentals are already in place:
●
Robust economy generating GDP of $2.5 trillion and growing
at 6 percent per year
●
Literate population of more than 600 million people,
with 40 percent under 30 years of age
●
Well-developed information and communications technology
(ICT) cluster with a track record of innovation and investment in new technology

ICT
Industry in Malaysia
Malaysia,
where our company is based in, is the fourth largest economy in Southeast Asia and is known for its high labor productivity and
diversified economy. Over the years, the country has transformed itself from being a primary commodities exporter into a leading
exporter of electrical appliances, electronic parts, and components. Moving up the industrial value chain, it has also established
itself as an attractive regional ICT hub for services, information and technology, and e-commerce.
The
ICT industry has contributed recorded 18.3% to the national economy in 2017 as compared to 16.5% in 2010. This industry showed
an increasing average annual growth rate of 9.0% over a seven year period. The contribution of ICT comprised 13.2% while the rest
is contributed by e-commerce in non ICT industries. The contribution of the ICT industry to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) recorded
a growth of 8.4% with a value of US$45 billion. This information can be found at https://www.dosm.gov.my/v1/index.php.
4
In
March 2017, Malaysia launched the world’s first Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ) 11 outside of China that aims to
capitalize the confluence and exponential growth of the internet economy and cross-border e-commerce activities. The DFTZ is expected
to double the growth rate of small and medium enterprises’ goods exports to reach US$38 billion and facilitate US$65 billion
of goods movement via the DFTZ (exports, imports, transshipments) by 2025. More than 2,000 small and medium enterprises stand
to get easier access to the global market, especially the Chinese market, through the DFTZ. The DFTZ is also expected to generate
60,000 new jobs in the country by 2025.
In
its 2018 budget 12 , the government announced wide-ranging incentives to support businesses, including capital allowance
for ICT equipment and software, tax relief on services provided by the local authorities, and extended application period for
principal hub tax incentive among others. The principal hub tax incentive aims to increase Malaysia’s competitiveness as
the global operations hub for multinational companies by offering tax exemptions to companies that set up their global operation
centers in Malaysia. The budget also announced National Transformation 2050 vision that aims to improve the qualitative growth
factors of the economy such as labor force skills by preparing its citizens for future challenges such as the fourth industrial
revolution - artificial intelligence, robotics, digitalization, etc.

ICT
Industry in Indonesia
Meanwhile
in Indonesia, the country has the fastest growing mobile market in the Asia-Pacific region, while globally, it is the 4th largest
mobile market in the world. The country has an extremely high penetration rate in mobile device at 112%, meaning 260 million of
the country’s population has access to a mobile device 13 . This, combined with drivers like mass consumption of
products, urbanization, and a tech-hungry young population, has resulted in rapid development in the ICT industry in the country.
Currently,
the country’s ICT industry has a primary focus on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and cloud computing, providing solution such
as data analytics, data center management, and managed services. In July 2019, Softbank has announced a $2 billion investment
in Indonesia, aimed to upgrade the digital infrastructure of the country.
The
government of Indonesia has also introduced different initiatives and national programs, including Go Digital Vision 2020, e-smart
IKM and 100 Smart City Movement to drive the country’s economy towards the digital edge. These programs aim to develop local
startups, support small to medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as to prepare and embrace internet of things (IoT). Most notably,
the Making Indonesia 4.0 road map launched in April 2019 seeks to diversify the economy away from a reliance on natural resources
by developing higher-tech export industries. The plan will focus on areas like 3D printing, artificial intelligence, human-machine
interface, robotics and sensor technology, all of which require advanced digital capacity. As such, the government expects to
create between 7 million and 19 million new jobs between 2018 and 2030 to support the development of the industry. The government
also expects a growth in the industrial sector’s gross domestic product contribution from 20 percent to 30 percent over
the same period. 14
Indonesia
has already achieved its goal to become largest digital economy in South East Asia by 2020, valued at US$40 billion. Driven by
the socio-demographic and fiscal factors, the market value of Indonesia’s digital economy is expected to reach $130 billion
by 2025.

ICT
Industry in Thailand
Whereas
in Thailand, the industrial hub of South East Asia, the country is still in the starting/developing stage in its ICT industry.
The country’s ICT industry is dominated by the hardware market, including CCTV and smart Bluetooth, which account for 67%
of the industry value 15 . Meanwhile, software and digital services account for the remaining. As such, the potential
of the industry is still largely untapped and more advancement into digital spectrum can be expected.
The
government of Thailand is also stepping up its effort to encourage development of new start-ups with tech focus. It has set up
the Board of Investment (BOI), a government agency to promote Foreign Direct Investment into the country by providing information,
services, and incentives. Some of the incentives include permission for 100% foreign ownership, up to 15 years exemption in corporate
income tax, and permission to bring in experts and skilled workers and their families. The initiative aims to encourage firms
like venture capitals and corporate incubators to enter the local market, provide mentorships and accelerator programs that will
help to get startup off the ground and contribute to the growth of technology 16 . The BOI is also targeting to increase
funding of national research and development to at least 1% of Thailand’s GDP with the targeted ratio of public to private
R&D investment of 30:70, which private firms will enjoy higher benefits of this initiatives 17 .
Looking
forward, International Data Corporation (IDC) Thailand predicts that from 2019 to 2022, IT-related spending in the country will
reach US$72 billion. 60% of Thailand’s IT spending will also be on 3rd platform technologies with 30% of enterprises will
seek to build “digital-native” IT environments. Also, by 2024, it is expected that AI-enabled user interfaces and
process automation will replace one-third of today’s screen-based apps in Thailand. The IDC also expects 61% of the country
GDP, roughly U$317 billion (based on 2019 GDP level) will be digitalized by 2022 18 .

ICT
industry in Vietnam
Vietnam
has enjoyed its own economic miracle in recent years, showing the world how it turned the country from one of the poorest nation
in the world to become a middle-income nation. The Southeast Asia country has grown its GDP for an average 6.8% 19 over
the past two decades to reach US$ 255 billion in 2019, rivalling China’s result during this period 20 .
Along
with the economy, the country’s ICT industry has also experienced substantial growth of average 31.1% per year from 2014
to 2019. The industry’s revenue reached US$110 billion in 2019, driven by government’s initiatives, rising middle
class, growing internet usage, and a young population 21 .
Similar
to Thailand, the hardware segment dominates the Vietnam ICT industry, accounting for 86% of the industry revenue in 2017. However,
in recent years, the industry has seen tremendous potential in areas like software and services, evidenced from increased adoption
of software and service by the private and public sectors. At the same time, the country has emerged as a destination of software
outsourcing, competing directly with India, China, and Philippines. It is currently the eight largest provider of IT services
globally.
Various
government incentives have been introduced to encourage further development in the ICT industry. Amongst the incentives, government
has exempted 100% of corporate income tax for IT companies for up to four years, followed by 50% tax exemption for up to nine
years. Subsequently, the corporate income tax rate for IT Company will stay at 10%, compared to a 20% tax rate for traditional
companies. The government has also implemented a zero percent value-added tax for computer programming activities.
On
the other side, new hi-tech parks will be constructed across the country from 2015 to 2030 though a combined effort by central
and local government, and private capital 22 . The hi-tech parks will offer various benefits to investors to move into
the hi-tech parks. For example, the Da Nang High-tech Park offers CIT incentives, import duty exemptions, as well as one-stop
administrative procedures for investors located in the park 23 .

ICT
industry in Philippines
The
ICT industry in Philippines is relatively young compare to other countries, but the country has started to receive growing attention
and foreign investment in recent years. One of main reasons is the relatively low standard in the country’s telecoms sector,
as a result of lack of competition and limited investment. 24
In
order to overhaul the broadband capabilities, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Philippines has
introduced the National Broadband Plan (NPL) in 2017, an US$ 4 billion initiative to deploy fiber optic cables and wireless technology
to further expand 3G, 4G, and LTE services throughout the country 25 . Since then, steady progress in 4G availability
has been made and is set to make further progress.
Currently,
Business process outsourcing (BPO) is one of the country’s leading generators of income. In fact, DICT has projected around
$38.9 billion revenue will be generated in the BPO service in the next six years25. In the past year, the ICT sector has also
become top investment contributor for the country in 2019, attracting US$6 billion of foreign investment 26 . Moving
forward, the focus of the country will remain in upgrading the network capabilities. The development in passive telecommunication
infrastructure such as fibre optic cables, cable landing stations and submarine fibre optic is expected to contribute an annual
investment inflow of US$1.9 billion until 2022.

Our
Solutions and Services
Mentoring
It
is the belief of the Company that tech-based entrepreneurs are vital agents of positive and transformational change across every
aspect of our society and economy. It is our intention to offer mentoring programs to our clients through which we hope to create
a sense of community, wherein our members will be able to grow their companies exponentially through leveraging skillsets and
potential capital provided by our organization. We believe that through creating a sense of community we have the potential to
become one of the IT Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) Companies in the ASIA region. Our mentors, for the time being and the foreseeable
future, will be comprised of the Company’s officers, both of whom have extensive experience in the information and computer
technology industry. Additionally, our mentors believe that they possess, through their extensive corporate experience, the corporate
management skills, professional network, and industry knowledge necessary in order to guide tech-based entrepreneurs to success.
The
exact details of our mentoring program may be adjusted on a case by case basis, but will follow a certain basic structure. Our
primary focus will be on providing domain knowledge on delivering ICT-enriched learning experiences and best practices through
years of experience in the ICT and tech-based industry. We intend to provide professional industry-based advice, conduct market
analysis, track metrics and corporate development advisory on Asia-wide ICT progress. The Company intends to conduct feasibility
report based on industry average using comparison of common firm performance within the ICT industry.
The
feasibility report covers seven main areas to clearly identify pain points entrepreneurs may encounter within the ICT market:
-
Direction and Strategy
-
Team and Execution
-
Culture and Brand
-
Creativity and Innovation
-
Business Modelling
-
Sustainability
-
Profitability
Match-Making
& Business Opportunities
The
strength and ability of Asia entrepreneurs are evolving and improving, hence our Company’s mission to assist these entrepreneurs
to grow globally. SEATech targets emerging-growth entrepreneurs to assist them to sustain their economic positions in the Asia
Pacific region, as we believe the multilateral business relationship between the countries in these region has shown a trend of
increasing strength which we believe will continue on into the future. We intend to identify emerging-growth entrepreneurs, at
least initially, through word of mouth, existing industry contacts of our officers and directors, and we may evaluate the possibility
of organizing programs or events in the future to provide a venture pitching platform for tech-based companies seeking venture
capital funding. Any and all such plans regarding the organization of events remain in the growing stage, and we have taken no
significant steps to finalize any such plans at this time. When we identify such entrepreneurs we intend to create linkages between
ecosystem players within the information and communications technology (ICT) industry and assist in solving critical issue for
the continued development of ICT sectors through methods which, at this point in time, remain under development.
Technology
Team
It
is the Company’s belief that digital products and services are transforming industries, enriching lives, and propelling
progress. We strongly believe that our team with years of experience in the ICT industry will be able to reinforce the importance
of digitization and incubate promising entrepreneurs in the ICT industry who can shape the country’s future. With the experience
of our officers and directors in this industry, we believe that we are able to benefit our members by making recommendations pursuant
to the digital economy, conducting market analysis, and tracking digital progress metrics throughout Southeast Asia.
Financial
and Corporate Advisory Team
Growing
strong regional entrepreneurs is not our sole aim, we also aspire to build an ICT ecosystem in the region through the tool of
securitization that could assist our clients to compete on the world stage. As such, we have entered into a memorandum of understanding
with the National ICT Association of Malaysia (PIKOM), and GreenPro Capital Corp (NASDAQ: GRNQ) to enter into a partnership to
create greater value for the high-growth emerging companies in the ASIA region. In collaboration with Greenpro, our corporate
development advisory services can be flexible arrangement, custom fitted for members and their needs. We provide advisory services
to ascertain that our clients are well structured and have clearly delineated funding options available in the capital marketplace.
Corporate
Program
Despite
technological advancements, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Asia have largely remained low-tech and low-skilled.
We intend to match and enhance performance of ICT entrepreneurs based upon a spectrum of availability, innovation environment,
regulatory environment, and digital literacy. It is our intention to create corporate programs through which our community clients
may have an opportunity to attend seminars, workshops, promotional events that showcase industry expertise during key cross-countries
Southeast Asia events. All such plans remain in development and we have yet to determine a timeline when such programs will become
available.
8
Future
Plan
Marketing
We
plan to explore tech-based marketplaces and attract IT startup entrepreneurs around ASIA countries through building our corporate
image and awareness through corporate seminars, website and pitching events. Further, we had developed a corporate website which
will introduce our SEATech Corporate Ventures Program.
At
this time we intend for the SEATech Corporate Ventures Program to be comprised of the following:
1.
Mentorship on Pitching - Participate in SEATech’s corporate accelerator programs which will mentor ICT entrepreneur’s
pitching skills and educate their mind-set of current business environment.
2.
Corporate Event – Opportunity to attend seminars / workshops where they will be provided with professional ICT advisory
solutions by our experienced officer and director.
3.
Roadshow and Fund Raising Advisory Opportunity to participate in event to provide entrepreneurs with knowledge of options available
within the capital market and to enhance their understanding of compliance requirements to respective capital market rules and
regulations.
4.
Matchmaking & Business Opportunities Potential collaborations for local entrepreneurs to meet some of the region’s most
innovative start-ups.
We
market our advisory services through this corporate website and intend to utilize search engine marketing to improve the number
visibility of our corporate website. We cannot determine, at this point in time, when our website will be completed, but the current
state of our website can be viewed at: http://www.seatech-ventures.com/.
Expansion
and Targeted Market
Over
the course of the next year, we plan to recruit three to five engagement partners for every country in which we will operate.
The Company anticipates expanding into the Asia market, with a particular focus, at least initially, on expanding into Thailand,
Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. The qualifications and capabilities
that we expect are individuals with strong and rich experiences in the ICT industry, able to provide analysis, advice and business
solutions for ICT organizations and companies that intend to develop, as well as carry out, performance assessment, strategic
planning and implementation of pre-set goals and plans.
Moreover,
we intend to hire additional staff to execute operations for our Malaysia market initially within a year of the public listing
of the Company. We believe that hiring fifteen to twenty employees, which may include accountants, public relations and ICT business
consultants, will be sufficient in order to support our operations. It will also be necessary for us to acquire office space from
which we can conduct operations and conduct meetings with potential clients. We also plan to allocate funds to support our ICT
Incubator Program. However, such development will require intensive research, development and testing so we cannot accurately
determine a concrete timeline at present nor have we determined an appropriate budget for these future activities. We may also
evaluate potential acquisitions and venture opportunities in the future which we feel may have some synergy with our current operations
when the Company is successfully listed in the US capital market.
Competition
SEATech
focuses on providing mentoring and advisory services to ICT companies in Asia. The venture capital industry in ASEAN or even the
Asia region has grown substantially over the years, as more start-ups, especially those with ICT focus, have emerged and will
require mentoring and incubation services in order to move the companies forward. Therefore, the venture capital industry is becoming
ever more competitive. SEATech intends to improve the visibility of our company and its advisory services in order to stand out
from our competition in this crowded market space. The company will also seek to improve the competency in ICT as way to create
competitive advantage over our existing and/or potential competitors.
