match.asia Launches AI-Powered Platform to Open Up Cross-Border M&A for SMEs

(SeaPRwire) –   AI-powered deal platform gives SMEs access to tools previously limited to large transactions

Singapore, May 07, 2026 — Cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Asia have historically been out of reach for most small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to high costs, insufficient advisory support, and limited international exposure, preventing many from pursuing such opportunities.

Match NAVI AI gives SMEs access to tools previously limited to large transactions

match.asia today announced the launch of Match Navi AI, a proprietary platform designed to expand SME access to cross-border M&A. Integrated into match.asia’s deal platform and services, Match Navi AI enables SMEs to access advanced M&A capabilities as part of the firm’s deal execution support—at no upfront cost.

Building on Match Navi launched in 2025, Match Navi AI integrates workflows across the entire M&A lifecycle, including valuation, exit readiness assessment, buyer identification, and transaction execution, within a unified system. SMEs work with match.asia to connect with potential buyers and complete deals, while Match Navi AI operates behind the scenes to enhance efficiency, improve matching accuracy, and elevate execution quality.

Unlike traditional advisory models that depend heavily on manual processes, match.asia incorporates AI throughout its platform to standardize execution, increase matching precision, and deliver services more efficiently.

The platform offers the following capabilities:

• AI-assisted valuation analysis using both proprietary data and market information
• A structured approach to evaluating exit readiness
• Data-driven matching with relevant global buyers
• Streamlined preparation and management of transaction documentation and due diligence materials

“SMEs have historically not had real access to M&A,” said Marcus Yeung, CEO and Co-Founder of match.asia. “Traditional advisory models weren’t built for them. Match Navi AI changes that by combining technology, execution expertise, and network reach to open up cross-border opportunities that were previously inaccessible.”

“AI doesn’t replace human judgment in M&A—it enhances it. By automating complex tasks and structuring the process, we enable better matches, reduce costs, and increase the likelihood of successful outcomes.”

Since its incorporation in 2024, match.asia has developed a growing dataset comprising over 200 verified sellers and 1,000 accredited buyers across eight markets. More than two-thirds of sellers generate interest from buyers, and over one-third of active mandates advance to the due diligence stage—results the company attributes to its structured data approach and AI-powered matching capabilities.

match.asia aims to empower 500 SMEs to actively pursue cross-border M&A opportunities within the next 12 months.
