The Entrepreneurial Rise in Southeast Asia

Abstract

Southeast Asia is one of the most successful regional economies of the world. Given the growing importance of the emerging economies in Asia, this study reviews entrepreneurship and innovation financing in the emerging countries of Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. Table 4.1 provides an overview of some Asian emerging economies. Overall, Singapore and Taiwan have more impressive economic growth in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) growth, world competitiveness ranking (by IMD Business School), and Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) ranking than Malaysia and Thailand.
