Asean Innovation Business Platform

What Asean Innovation Business Platform does

Asean Innovation Business Platform (AIBP) is a Singapore-based business unit of Industry Platform, a growth consulting firm, founded in 2012 to serve as a regional convening platform for digital innovation across six ASEAN markets: Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Vietnam. The company operates six integrated channels — Conference & Exhibition, AIBP Online, Networking, Reports, Awards, and the ASEAN Podcast — connecting IT and business leaders, government agencies, telecoms, and technology vendors. Its flagship intellectual property includes the annual ASEAN Enterprise Innovation Market Overview (published since 2016, now capturing input from 900+ IT and business leaders), the Innovation Awards (running since 2017, with 100+ nominations and 25+ finalists annually), and the Tech for ESG Awards (launched in 2021).

AIBP's product portfolio extends into vertical-specific reports covering cybersecurity, data & AI, and agile innovation, alongside a digital content library (AIBP Online) and podcast distribution on Apple and Spotify. The company applies a freemium content distribution model: publicly accessible research, podcasts, and conference sessions drive audience reach, while monetization flows through awards entry fees, event sponsorships, and professional advisory services delivered to enterprise clients. Its editorial operations are human-curated, with AI serving as a research topic rather than a product capability.

The business is operated with a lean headcount of 11-50 employees and functions as a regional intelligence and networking layer for enterprises navigating digital and ESG transformation in Southeast Asia. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or major enterprise contract values have been publicly disclosed, and AIBP operates without reported M&A activity or external capital raises, consistent with its role as a self-funded business unit within Industry Platform.
