Asia

Cities in East Asia such as Singapore, Shanghai and Seoul along with more well-known hubs like Hong Kong and Tokyo have experiencing phenomenon expansion in the past decade – thanks to favorable regulations and taxation. With this as the backdrop, local governments have taken the initiative to promote foreign investment and generate more income from the alternative assets space.

This is due to the extraordinary advantages that the region offers – natural resources, young workforce, favorable tax laws and an amicable climate making it ideal for industries such as renewable energy to operate.
