He shared with Alex Dunmow and John Nguyen from Ninja Software the unlimited opportunities for Australians, especially in the tech space. With over 180 million mobile phone users of which two-third are actively on social media, tech-savvy Indonesians have secured Indonesia as the enviable startup ecosystem with the most unicorns in the South East Asian region. To date, five unicorns and a decacorn! With the ubiquity of mobile telephony across the archipelago, the thriving tech startup in Indonesia is proof once more that entrepreneurial thinking is usually born out of circumstance and necessity.The future of unlocking the Australian-Indonesian tech opportunities is in our hands.
