This half day conference will focus on investment opportunities across the ASEAN region’s fast-growing early years and childcare market.

The conference will analyse a sector that continues to generate significant investment activity and growth stories for leading players.

2018 saw a flurry of market activity across the early years market, as investors looked to capitalise on the unprecedented increases in demand for early years businesses. Underpinned by a lack of quality day nursery portfolio platforms, the market saw premium multiples being paid for those operators scaling quality businesses in this fragmented sector.

Featuring analysis and commentary from leading market experts, case studies from major operators and insights from investors active in this space, the conference will bring together influential players from Singapore and across the ASEAN region and will provide high level networking opportunities for those active in the market and for those looking to enter the sector.

Topics to be considered include:
• Early years overview: How mature is the early years market?
• What strategies are proving effective in terms of achieving scale across the region?
• What is Singapore doing to support early learning and ensure sustainable and quality early childhood services?
• How does consumer demand vary across ASEAN?
• How can educators integrate technology in developmentally appropriate ways?

ASEAN’s thriving childcare market: a golden opportunity

A combination of population growth, rising wealth levels and a focus on improving early years education standards makes the ASEAN region one of the most exciting areas for investors in early years. The event will consider the fastest growing locations across the region and discuss market entry and consolidation strategies for operators and investors.
