AI Everything Singapore is where AI adoption and commercialisation used cases - covering the retail, ecommerce, fintech, manufacturing, supply chain, medical, automotive and education sectors - are shared by government, enterprises, creators and academic speakers.

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is at the epicentre of global telecommunications transformation, driven by rapid digital adoption, 5G deployment, and the convergence of traditional networks with cutting-edge technologies. This track examines the latest trends in APAC telecommunications, including the rise of private 5G networks, advancements in fibre broadband, and the integration of IoT and AI to optimise network performance.

By 2025, cybercrime in Asia is expected to cost $1.2 trillion. Will Singapore’s innovative cybersecurity solutions set a regional standard? With budgets set to hit $36 billion, are companies ready for escalating risks? Tackle most pressing issues targeting Data centers to Banks, Supply chains to Energy infrastructures and more. Will Singapore’s Shared Responsibility Framework protect the underbanked? Can cross-border collaboration be the key to securing the region’s future?

How to translate quantum potential into immediate, practical applications leveraging existing cloud-based quantum hardware and merging quantum with AI to drive breakthroughs. Focus on building pathways for quantum applicability across industries, fostering strong IP development, and ensuring protected and scalable quantum.

GITEX DIGI HEALTH & BIOTECH unveils Asia’s healthcare revolution, where demographic shifts, tech innovation, and consumer demand converge to redefine patient care. With a $100 billion digital health market on the horizon, Asia isn’t following global trends—it’s setting them.

Emerging markets in SEA face hurdles in funding capital-intensive projects like decarbonization. The focus is on investing in and scaling up Green Technologies. Discussions will include blended finance, carbon trading, integrating renewables into smart grids, improving and growing energy storage capacity, closing investment gaps, and helping to drive decarbonization.

Explore and debate challenges and opportunities in the investment and startup landscape. Asian scaleups are now worth USD 4.2 Trillion, but what are the global and Asian investors looking for to build the next unicorn? Despite funding winter, AI, cleantech, and autonomous driving continue to attract substantial investments. Are VC secondaries a popular choice in APAC?

With fragmented ecosystems across Asia, how can SMEs collaborate cross border despite contributing 40% to Asia’s GDP? Join sessions tailored to scaling up, accessing new markets, trends and tactics to leapfrog competition. From financial management to effective branding on a budget, connect with the community of SME leaders & enablers.
