Support for Southeast Asian startups tackling big challenges

Google for Startups Accelerator announced a three-month online program, supporting startups. The program targets startups working on social, health, economic problems across the region. 600+ applications were received after applications opened in June 2020. 15 shortlisted startups have been announced, which makes the first cohort, with 3 Pakistani companies in the list.
“Southeast Asia’s startups have helped build a thriving internet economy. Now, they have an equally important role to play in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic—and in tackling some of the biggest challenges Southeast Asia faces around education, health, e-commerce, logistics, and financial technology,” said the statement released by Google.
