We used to say “news moves markets.”   But can you fill in the idea-generation gaps when there is no news, or economic releases?  Is Alt Data in Asia/Pacific maturing to the point where one can process events – regularly – with a high degree of success (alpha)?  Who in the region is providing Alt Data and the associated curation technology, how is the data sourced; what’s the take-up been like?  

• What’s the performance track record for Alt Data in Asia/Pacific?  Who’s using it?
• How has COVID-19 impacted Alt Data?  Are Alt Data consumer spending products collecting e-commerce transactions? 
• Curation and processing alternatives: what is provided “as a Service”; can it be combined with other KPI data – easily? 
• Can Alt Data providers generate “panic indexes”?
• Where can APAC Alt Data be acquired: Alt Data “boutiques”, Data Vendors, Data Marketplaces(DMs)?
