But the region's own young tech companies are failing to capitalize on the boom.
While the world's biggest companies are set to splurge up to $60 billion over the next few years in Southeast Asia as its young populations embrace video streaming, online shopping and generative AI, little is flowing to the region's startups that have artificial intelligence at their core.
