ATxSG 2026 Highlights Southeast Asia’s Growing Leadership in AI, Digital Transformation, and Enterprise Innovation
Asia Tech x Singapore (ATxSG) 2026 once again demonstrated why it remains one of Asia’s most influential technology gatherings, bringing together global innovators, policymakers, business leaders, and technology experts to discuss the future of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, media, connectivity, and enterprise technology.
Held at the Singapore EXPO from 20 to 22 May 2026, the event attracted a highly international audience and facilitated more than 120,000 business interactions, reflecting the growing importance of Asia as a hub for technology innovation and cross-border collaboration. With over 700 exhibitors across 35 pavilions and more than 450 speakers, ATxSG 2026 provided a platform for meaningful conversations on the technologies and strategies shaping the future of the digital economy.
A key theme throughout this year’s event was the region’s transition from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment. Discussions focused on how organizations are moving beyond pilot programs and integrating artificial intelligence into operations, cybersecurity, workforce transformation, digital infrastructure, and long-term business strategy. Industry leaders emphasized the importance of responsible AI adoption, cyber resilience, workforce readiness, and trusted digital ecosystems as organizations accelerate their digital transformation journeys.
Beyond artificial intelligence, conversations at ATxSG explored the future of broadcasting, media innovation, cloud technologies, cybersecurity, satellite communications, digital infrastructure, connectivity, and enterprise transformation. The festival’s diverse program encouraged collaboration between government agencies, multinational corporations, startups, investors, and technology providers from across Southeast Asia, Greater China, Japan, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
One of the notable sessions at BroadcastAsia during ATxSG 2026 was “The Future of Content Creation and Video Platforms in a Hybrid World,” moderated by Apple Esplana-Manansala, President of The New Channel. The panel brought together industry leaders from across the media, technology, gaming, and video platform sectors, including Alisha Coelho, SVP of Zee Entertainment; Nikhil Kharoo, Global Head of Partnerships at Razer Inc.; Oren Ben Kiki, SVP of Sales & Delivery at Kaltura Inc.; and Myunghwa Kim, COO of HISTRANGER.
The discussion explored how content creation and distribution continue to evolve in an increasingly hybrid environment where digital and physical experiences intersect. Panelists examined the impact of artificial intelligence, audience personalization, creator-driven ecosystems, streaming innovations, and emerging business models that are transforming how content is produced, consumed, and monetized across platforms.
Reflecting on her experience, Ms. Apple Esplana-Manansala, President & Chief Executive Producer of The New Channel (TNC) Media Corp., shared:
“As someone who has attended Asia Tech x Singapore for the past years, I can confidently say that it remains one of the most valuable technology and media events in the region. Every year, it brings together innovators, industry leaders, policymakers, and visionaries who are shaping the future of media, broadcasting, telecommunications, AI, and digital transformation. The depth of insights, quality of discussions, and opportunities for collaboration are truly unmatched.”
She further highlighted the event’s continued relevance in helping organizations navigate a rapidly changing technological landscape:
“Through The New Channel, we have witnessed firsthand how Asia Tech x Singapore continues to evolve as a premier platform for learning, networking, and discovering emerging trends. It is more than just an event—it is a catalyst for innovation, partnerships, and meaningful conversations that help organizations stay ahead in an increasingly digital world. I highly encourage media professionals, entrepreneurs, and technology leaders to experience ATxSG and be part of shaping what’s next for Asia and beyond.”
As ATxSG 2026 concluded, one message resonated throughout the event: the future of technology will be defined not only by innovation itself, but by how effectively organizations, governments, and industries collaborate to deploy emerging technologies responsibly and at scale. From AI adoption and digital resilience to media transformation and enterprise modernization, the conversations held during the three-day festival will continue to influence the direction of technology across Asia and beyond.
With another successful edition completed, ATxSG reinforced its role as a premier platform where ideas become partnerships, innovations become solutions, and conversations help shape the future of the digital economy.
