SINGAPORE, Sept. 16, 2025 – Billion Connect (BC), a leading global communications technology solutions provider, has been selected for the NextGen Tech 30 2025 list, an initiative by Granite Asia that recognizes the top 30 most innovative and high-growth technology companies in Asia. The award ceremony was held on September 16 in Singapore, bringing together technology leaders, investors, and industry experts from across the Asia-Pacific region.
NextGen Tech 30 honors high-growth companies that drive industrial transformation through technological innovation, with a special focus this year on sustainability and automation. BC was selected for its carrier-grade global communications infrastructure and its unique approach to seamlessly integrating worldwide cross-border roaming with travel retail. It stands alongside other renowned innovators such as Toss Bank from Korea and Silicon Box from Singapore, underscoring its competitive strength in global cross-border connectivity solutions.
Headquartered in Singapore, Billion Connect is committed to becoming “the operator that connects global operators” and to “building a world that is always online.” Through nine years of in-house R&D, the company has developed advanced OTA technology and an eSIM service platform.
Currently, Billion Connect operates in 42 countries and regions, with network coverage extending to more than 200 countries and territories, serving over one million users each month. In key destination countries, BC partners with at least two local operators to build redundant network architectures, ensuring a seamless and stable connectivity experience—wherever you are, connectivity stays with you.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Billion Connect has earned the trust of numerous users with its high-quality products and services, steadily establishing a market leadership position. Third-party 2024 industry data shows that the company holds over 25% of the travel SIM/eSIM market in Asia-Pacific, continuing to lead the regional cross-border communications sector.
BC’s core advantage over traditional resellers lies in its infrastructure-first strategy. The company has progressively built its independent core network—developing the world’s first SoftSIM travel card in 2016, becoming the first global eSIM provider to cover 150 countries and regions for travelers in 2019, and continuing to deploy key infrastructure across Asia.
In advancing the integration of global communications and destination services, Billion Connect has established strategic partnerships with several internationally renowned brands and duty-free retailers, achieving significant marketing results. A notable example is its collaboration with Japan’s Hakuhodo DY Holdings. Together, they built a replicable pathway from “connection moment” to “destination consumption,” allowing tourists to seamlessly access local retail and service scenarios upon connecting to the network. This greatly enhanced both user experience and business conversion efficiency, setting a successful example of innovative integration for the industry.
Billion Connect’s solutions are particularly suitable for business travelers, international students, and tourists. Users can enjoy high-speed, stable, and secure network connectivity through its core eSIM solution, which allows them to instantly purchase and activate data plans in over 200 countries via the BC eSIM app—no physical SIM card required, greatly simplifying cross-border connectivity. The service offers three key advantages: extensive global coverage, high cost-effectiveness, and ultimate convenience. It is designed to break down the barriers of traditional international roaming, supporting multiple scenarios such as overseas mobile payments, social media access, real-time navigation, and remote work, delivering a smooth, “like-at-home” experience.
“Selection for the NextGen Tech 30 2025 is a tremendous recognition of our team’s persistent innovation over the past nine years,” said Antonio Xu, CEO of Billion Connect. “We are committed to serving as the operator that connects global operators, building reliable digital infrastructure that maximizes value for cross-border travelers, retail brands, and destination merchants. This honor will inspire us to further expand our global influence and accelerate our transition from a regional leader in Asia-Pacific to a global innovator.”
Looking ahead, Billion Connect will continue to increase investment in R&D, enhance its global digital connectivity capabilities, and uphold its mission to “Connect the World and Empower the Future,” delivering smarter, more efficient, and seamless communication experiences for users worldwide.
