Asia tech, quarterly in 2024
Given the population size and technological ‘weight’ of the broad Asian region, the first quarter of 2024 for obvious reasons produced headlines across a huge range of technologies, implementations, successes and challenges.
In Q1 of 2024, Asia’s tech news for instance touched on: China’s many space-launch activities and broad ambitions; India’s accelerating moves into the mid-range tech manufacturing sector, from consumer devices to semiconductors; Japan’s growing activities in domestic cybersecurity and related outreach in the region; Taiwan’s TSMC’s gains, and headaches, in setting up in the US; Malaysia’s bid to become a regional tech hub, with major investments to develop domestically and attract overseas participation; and many more.
