Tech Week Singapore 2026 Draws 38,000 Visitors as Asia’s Digital Infrastructure Takes Centre Stage

Tech Week Singapore 2026 brought together 38,000 technology leaders, industry experts and professionals from across the region as the event examined the infrastructure and innovations supporting the next wave of artificial intelligence, quantum computing and other emerging technologies.

Held at Sands Expo & Convention Centre from 29 to 30 September 2026, the 12th edition of the event featured 720 international exhibitors across five co-located shows. The programme included more than 250 keynote presentations and panel sessions covering developments across cloud and AI infrastructure, DevOps, cybersecurity, big data, AI and data centres.

The event opened with an address by Mr Tan Kiat How, Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, on the Tech Week Singapore Mainstage. This was followed by a Minister’s Tour featuring companies and technologies showcased across the five co-located exhibitions.

The five flagship shows were Cloud & AI Infrastructure, DevOps Live, Cyber Security World, Big Data & AI World, and Data Centre World. Among the highlights was the Live Vehicle Cyber Hackathon, also known as the Geely Global Automotive Cybersecurity Challenge, held at Cyber Security World Asia across both days. Participants were challenged to identify and test potential vulnerabilities in designated connected vehicle systems.

Ahead of the main event, an Exclusive STDCT Tour @ NUS was held on 28 September, offering 40 participants an opportunity to see how next-generation technologies are being tested, validated and benchmarked in a live tropical operating environment. The initiative focused on supporting more sustainable data centre operations.

Data Centre World Asia also hosted the OCP Southeast Asia Tech Day for the first time. Under the theme “Architecting Inference: The OCP Path from Token Demand to Data Centre Design”, the programme explored the infrastructure required to support Southeast Asia’s AI inference workloads through 2030, with a focus on open compute principles.

Networking remained a key part of the event, with 15 dedicated luncheons held across the two-day programme to complement the exhibition and conference sessions.

Tech Week Singapore 2026 also saw the unveiling of Data Centre World Tokyo 2027, following a partnership between CloserStill Media and Nano-Opt Media, Inc. (NOM). The inaugural Japan edition will take place on 7 and 8 December 2027 at Makuhari Messe, with the Japan Data Center Council (JDCC) as its supporting partner.

At the launch during Tech Night 2026, Andy Kiwanuka, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, CloserStill Media, delivered a welcome address highlighting the expansion of the Data Centre World network across Asia.

Data Centre World Tokyo 2027 will bring together CloserStill Media’s international Data Centre World network with NOM’s established IT and digital infrastructure community in Japan. The event will cover areas including data centre design and construction, power and energy, cooling, networking, cloud, security, operations, facilities and sustainability. Exhibitor applications are now open.

Looking ahead, Tech Week Singapore will return to Sands Expo & Convention Centre on 13 and 14 October 2027. The next edition will continue to bring together technology professionals and industry leaders to discuss emerging technologies and developments shaping digital transformation across the region.
