Shenny Tang Mee Hong

Head of Growth
Innov8 Labs Sdn Bhd
Shenny is Head of Growth at Innov8 Labs, Brunei’s first capability centre. She was the company’s first commercial hire and built its growth function from the ground up. Today she leads business development, strategic partnerships and consulting engagements with government agencies and enterprises across Brunei. Her career spans more than a decade in the region’s digital infrastructure. She began in subsea cable and wholesale carrier business across the Asia-Pacific, then worked in telco roles in Singapore and Brunei. At a Brunei telco, she helped drive the company’s shift from telco to techco and launched its inaugural technology conference. At a global technology company, she worked with Brunei’s Smart Nation Office on the national digital agenda. Shenny is a Sarawakian who grew up in Brunei. She sees BIMP-EAGA as lived reality rather than a policy acronym. Families, businesses and talent already move across these borders every day. Her work focuses on turning that closeness into real commercial pathways for talent and ventures in the sub-region.

Panel: From BIMP EAGA to Broader ASEAN — Scaling Beyond Borders
Startup Village
As Southeast Asia’s digital economy rapidly evolves beyond tier-one capital cities, sub-regional trade corridors are emerging as critical engines for cross-border innovation. The Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) offers a uniquely interconnected sandbox, combining shared cultural affinities, contiguous supply chains, and aligned economic priorities, making it an ideal testing ground for early, and growth-stage ventures. This panel convenes ecosystem leaders, venture capitalists, policy advisors, and cross-border founders to address how startups can strategically position BIMP-EAGA not just as a local destination, but as a high-velocity launchpad for scaling across the broader $3.6T ASEAN market.
