The pathway to a Green Economy is not just about reducing carbon — it’s about building a vibrant, future-ready world full of new opportunities, innovative industries, and empowering communities. Southeast Asia has established sustainability targets and has been driving innovation and technology towards a Green Economy. What does the landscape look like now in terms of emerging technologies? Who are the startups solving the most pressing challenges of our times? What are the opportunities for other innovators?

 

As a catalyst for sustainable growth in the region, Padang & Co has surveyed six Southeast Asian countries with over a thousand tech startups and SMEs that are enabling the decarbonisation of our industries, the embrace of renewables, and the adoption of energy-efficient systems, and fuelling the rise of green sectors. 

 

With this report and its subsequent editions, we hope to provide a sustainable platform to drive discussions and help build the Green Economy! We are looking for collaborators for future editions and hosts of ecosystem events; recommendations for great startups and projects/partnerships to spotlight; and importantly to take things to the next level, for you to invest or partner with us to develop programmes.
