[Update on 28 February, 5:15pm] Artificial Intelligence stage has been replaced with Blockchain stage.

On May 15 & 16, Tech in Asia’s signature conference in Singapore will be back with its seventh edition – bigger and better than before. This time, we’ve got six exciting content stages lined up, 60 participating investors you can pitch directly to, 250 unique startups showcasing their products, and over 5,000 tech fans present from all walks of life. From networking to learning opportunities, you’ll have them all covered in 48 hours.
The best part? You can access all these and more at just half the price when you register for a 1-for-1 code.
Last year, we hosted a star-studded lineup of speakers such as Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Lazada CEO Maximilian Bittner, CXA Group CEO Rosaline Chow Koo, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan, and Houzz CEO Adi Tatarko who joined us and shared their insights into building a startup.
This time round, apart from our power-packed stages, you can look forward to conference staples and all-time favourites, including Startup Factory (previously known as Bootstrap Alley), Startup-Investor Speed Dating, and the hotly-anticipated Arena Pitch Battle. Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect in May:
Multistage Access
Learn from experts in their fields at our six content stages: Main Stage, Developer and Product Stage, Revenue Stage, Startup 101 Stage, Marketing Stage, and Blockchain Stage (newly introduced this year)! There will be something for everyone – expect to also hear trends and insights about the latest talk of the town – blockchain technology.
Startup Factory
Startup showcase packed with 250 early-stage companies introducing their innovative and exciting technology to the marketplace. To allow more startups to benefit from exhibiting, we are opening applications to those who have raised less than US$3 million in external funds.
Startup-Investor Speed Dating
A much sought-after conference segment for startups. This year, we present an upgrade to our ever-popular Speed Dating segment. Apart from having 60 participating investors on board, we’ll be curating all applications to help startups and investors find their perfect match.
Arena Pitch Battle
A crowd favourite, where seven handpicked startup founders face off onstage in front of a live audience to win attractive prizes and bragging rights.
Networking Parties
Get ready for a series of networking parties across the island from evening till late! Say cheers to more business deals and connections over food, drinks, and great company.
