HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing s private investment firm Horizons Ventures will make South-east Asia a priority, with the region s digital economy booming as the pandemic drives more people to use the internet.
Horizons Ventures will focus in particular on South-east Asia s biggest market, Indonesia, co-founder Solina Chau, Li s long-time confidante, told Bloomberg News in a statement sent by text message.
The firm, whose early bet on Zoom Video Communications contributed to a surge in Mr Li s wealth during the Covid-19 pandemic, has over the past year invested in three Indonesia-based start-ups in funding rounds that have raised more than US$210 million (S$280 million). Partnering up with Jakarta s Alpha JWC Ventures, one of South-east Asia s largest venture capitalists, Horizons seeks to identify young companies that could be the region s next most popular.

Temasek Invests in Solugen to Boost Asia Opportunities
Posted on 04/27/2021
Formed in 2016 by Gaurab Chakrabarti, M.D., Ph.D., and Sean Hunt, Ph.D., Solugen Inc. is a synthetic biology chemicals manufacturer. Singapore’s Temasek Holdings made an investment in Solugen to support further scaleup and sales growth of Solugen’s molecular manufacturing platform that harnesses biology to make high-performing, cost effective carbon negative chemicals, ingredients, and materials.
Solugen believes Southeast Asia will be an ideal location to deploy its technology given the need for cleaner chemical products to support critical infrastructures such as clean water, agriculture, energy, and food/beverage.
