A report with insights from 145 professionals highlights Southeast Asia’s emerging globalization, driven by mobility, entrepreneurs’ focus on sovereign stacks, and pragmatic, long-term growth strategies.
Insights from Regional Leaders
This report features insights from 145 founders, investors, and professionals shaping Southeast Asia’s emerging freedom economy. It highlights a shift in the region’s globalization dynamics, driven by human mobility rather than traditional trade or manufacturing. Entrepreneurs, professionals, and investors are redefining how opportunities are created and transported across borders, signaling a new era of regional connectivity.
The Sovereign Stack: A New Approach
Today’s entrepreneurs are building more than mere passports; they are creating a comprehensive “Sovereign Stack” of residencies, business structures, and tax strategies. This flexible framework is designed to support long-term growth, operational efficiency, and personal security. It reflects a pragmatic approach to mobility, responding to evolving business needs in a globalized economy.
Who Is Leading the Movement
This wave of mobility is primarily driven by entrepreneurs and business owners, not retirees or short-term digital nomads. Approximately 53% of respondents identify as entrepreneurs or business leaders, 23% as senior executives, and 19% as freelancers, emphasizing a focus on sustainable, business-oriented movement rather than fleeting mobility.
