The [e-Conomy SEA 2020 report](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-economy-sea.appspot.com/assets/pdf/e-Conomy_SEA_2020_Report.pdf) estimates the **digital economy of the South East Asia region in USD$100bn; with e-Commerce being the main contributor** and having significantly accelerated this growth due to the pandemic. Small business turned into digital; and, in many cases, this meant selling through some of the [largest marketplaces in the region](https://www.webretailer.com/b/online-marketplaces-southeast-asia/).

As a Technical Solutions Manager, my job involves partnering with some of the largest companies in the world to bring the best of Google to businesses around the world. We recently **partnered with Shopee to bring Google Ads to their Brands and sellers**, both large and small. We are very proud of the work that was done by both teams and which led to **launching of Google Ads with Shopee**.

We hope this will allow Brands and sellers to **grow their businesses** through the best of Google and Shopee.
