Highlights from apidays Singapore 2019

The conference theme:

Asia’s diverse cultures, economies and regulatory environments present challenges for firms wanting to scale their business. Yet these are opportunities for those who have learned to partner to deliver great customer experiences. Building a partner ecosystem enabled by flexible, secure and sustainable Application Programming Interfaces is key. Marketplaces enable customers to plug-and-play the services they need.

​We gathered the best experts and companies on the business and technology of APIs to show how to develop the skills, build a platform, and how “as-a-Service” re-defines how to serve customers.
