Asia Tech x Singapore (ATxSG) concluded after four successful days of events at the Singapore Expo and The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore from 31 May – 3 June.

As Singapore’s largest technology event since the reopening of its borders, ATxSG brought together 16,600 hybrid attendees from 93 countries and regions and 26,000 event visits. The Singapore Expo also hosted 600 exhibitors showcasing the latest tech products and services and more than 350 speakers who shared expert insights across 200 conference sessions.

ATxSG presented attendees with insights from top-notch thought-leaders from the public and private sectors, covering the latest technology trends, challenges, and opportunities arising from the ongoing digitalisation of the economy. 

Notable speakers for the exclusive by invitation-only ATxSummit included Mr. Heng Swee Keat, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies, Mrs. Josephine Teo, Singapore’s Minister for Communications & Information, and senior executives from the world’s biggest and fastest-growing technology companies such as Amazon Web Services, Carousell, Epic Games, Grab, Google, IBM, Lazada, Microsoft, Ping An Group, Samsung Electronics, Sea Group and The Ant Group. 

Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Executive Chairman of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, also made an appearance on-site at the ATxEnterprise Headliners to discuss the ongoing technology revolution and how governments and industries can best leverage technology to aid global change.

Attendees at ATxEnterprise were also treated to technology showcases from exhibitors from Singapore and across the world, many of whom launched innovative products during the event designed to meet the unique needs of Asia’s enterprises. Participating exhibitors also inked several memoranda of understanding (MOU) and made announcements that reaffirmed Singapore and Asia’s continued attractiveness to global digital-first disruptors, being a region home to some of the world’s largest and fastest growing digital economies. Some of these MOUs and announcements include: 

  • Singapore start-up FloatingOn announced the launch of a sustainable solution in the form of accommodations that float on water. These modular units can utilise a diverse range of renewable energy sources, which can help land-scarce countries such as Singapore reduce waiting time and cost for new builds. They can also potentially contribute to the creation of an off-grid living environment that can help accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future.
  • NCS Telco+ signed an MOU announcing its partnership with Advanced Info Service (AIS), Thailand’s leading provider of mobile services and mobile network operator, to address the digital transformation needs of AIS and other enterprises in the country. The agreement formalises NCS’ support for the digitalisation journey of AIS and the pursuit of joint projects in 5G and IoT transformation, cloud and cybersecurity, enabling enterprises in Thailand to benefit from the combined strengths of AIS’ market leadership and the digital services capabilities of NCS.
  • Global infrastructure as a service (IaaS) company, OneQode, signed an MOU with PLDT Global, the international arm of the Philippines’ largest integrated telco network PLDT Inc. This will help fast-track the deployment of OneQode’s cloud presence in Manila, allowing users in the Philippines to access OneQode’s network and cloud. A presence in Manila will also provide existing OneQode users in Singapore with a redundant connection, should disruptions occur between Guam and Singapore.
  • Quebec-based QSTC Inc, which provides advanced space engineering solutions, signed an agreement with PT. Wahana Telekomunikasi Dirgantara (WTD), a leading provider of satellite services to satellite fleet operators and end customers with in-orbit satellites as a business for their fleets. The agreement sees QSTC Inc providing turnkey UHTP Ka and Q/V band services satellites using a dedicated smart Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite. The satellite will provide coverage over Southeast Asia while demonstrating new and innovative digital communication payloads.

The number of visitors on-site, which comprised C-Suite or key decision makers at their organisations, also presented significant networking and business opportunities for exhibitors.

“We are thrilled at the resounding success of ATxSG 2022. It demonstrates the welcomed return of large scale MICE events in Singapore, and the feedback we have received from our delegates, sponsors, exhibitors and partners has been very positive and encouraging,” said Mr. Tom Cuthell, Vice President of Global Festivals, Informa Tech. “The increasing pace of innovation and technological advancement will surface many new developments to explore and showcase, and we look forward to Informa’s continued role in shaping the region’s digital transformation with an even bigger, broader ATxSG in 2023.” 

Asia Tech x Singapore 2023 will return on 6 – 9 June 2023.
