FT starts new tech newsletter for Asia

The Financial Times and Nikkei Asian Review announced the launch of #techAsia, a newsletter focused on technology trends in Asia.

The new weekly briefing will include a “Best of Comment” section to explore developments among tech companies.

“Our readers are fascinated by the relationship between Asia and the rest of the world, particularly when it comes to the role of tech,” said FT global China editor James Kynge in a statement. “This global interest is more acute than ever before and #techAsia will be an important tool in understanding what the future of tech might look like in an ever more globalized world.”

The FT has other tech-focused newsletters, including #techFT and #fintechFT. The new newsletter replaces Tech Scroll Asia, which was the first co-branded newsletter between the FT and Nikkei. #techAsia has three editions, including a Japanese language edition.
