4. Which sectors will grow significantly in the start-up ecosystem in 2024 and why are investors looking at these sectors?

In my personal opinion, AI/ML, Renewable energy, sustainability and Blockchain are some of the sectors which will significantly grow.

Investors are drawn to these sectors due to their high growth potential, disruptive innovations, and addressing pressing societal challenges. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning offer transformative applications across industries. Renewable Energy and Sustainability align with growing environmental concerns. Blockchain hold potential beyond finance. Document verification, traceability, E-commerce and D2C Brands tap into digital retail trends. Fintech and Digital Payments offer financial inclusion and convenience. Investors typically seek opportunities in sectors that demonstrate scalability, market relevance, and the potential to generate substantial returns on investment.

5. Which regions do you believe will thrive the most in raising funds for their start-ups in 2024 and why?

In my opinion, Silicon Valley, Southeast Asia, Inda will thrive most in raising funds.

Silicon Valley - It’s an IT innovation hub and highly renowned for its established network, ecosystem and skilled talent.

Southeast Asia - These regions have a very youthful population, a high surge in internet usage and growing adoption of digital technologies.

India - Has abundant & skilled tech resources and a growing middle class. The adoption of technology, growing internet usage and a large population are some of the other reasons.

6. How important is the Middle East and Africa for your business, and what is your growth strategy in the region for the coming years?

Some of the Middle East countries are leading or ahead of the rest of the world in adoption of emerging technologies. This is why we see a large potential for revolutionary products and services like ProofEasy. Besides that, the Middle East serves as a gateway for Africa and a lot of African countries have offices/operations in the Middle East.

Governments and businesses in the MEA region have been increasingly focused on digitization and adopting emerging technologies. Blockchain's potential to enhance transparency, security, and efficiency aligns with the region's digitization goals. Many countries in the MEA region have large unbanked or underbanked populations. Blockchain can enable financial inclusion by providing access to financial services through decentralized applications. Some countries in the region have shown a proactive approach to blockchain adoption, with governments exploring or implementing blockchain-based projects and regulatory frameworks. For e.g., Nigeria recently announced a National policy for Blockchain (https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/05/04/nigeria-approves-national-policy-to-create-blockchain-powered-economy/)

Our growth strategy is to build a channel partner/reseller network in the Middle East and Africa. We may consider opening an office in the Middle East in future if we get the right kind of traction and partners.

Our immediate interest would be to look for suitable companies in the following fields (Tech companies):

c. Education institutions Software providers: Partner with universities and academic software companies to offer secure and tamper-proof document verification for academic certificates and transcripts.

a. financial institutions Software providers: Collaborate with software providers for banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions to integrate our document verification solution into their existing systems to prevent fraud and enhance security.

7. In which ways can AI help startups reach new levels of efficiency and excellence and how is the world’s next big tech shift supporting the growth of companies in your industry?

AI can revolutionize a lot of industries by automating tasks, ability to make better decisions because of data analysis. Delivering personalized experiences using ML is another key benefit. Customer support /services is another area that will benefit as AI can help to boost efficiency and achieve excellence.
