SINGAPORE, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As organisations accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) beyond pilot projects and into enterprise-wide deployment, AIMX Singapore 2026 will convene business leaders, policymakers, technology innovators and researchers from more than 60 countries to showcase how AI is delivering measurable impact across industries.
The event will open with an Opening Address by Guest-of-Honour Mr Tan Kiat How, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, Republic of Singapore, before bringing together global AI ecosystems to drive business collaboration, technology adoption and international partnerships across healthcare, robotics, logistics, transportation, retail and other key sectors.
Catalysing Conversations around Industry Innovation
Building on Singapore’s ambitions to become a global hub for responsible AI innovation and deployment across industries, AIMX Singapore 2026 will present a conference programme focused on one of the most pressing challenges facing organisations today—moving AI beyond pilot projects into enterprise-wide implementation. Through expert-led discussions and real-world case studies, delegates will gain practical insights into deploying AI responsibly, scaling adoption and delivering measurable outcomes across key sectors of the economy.
A key highlight will be a fireside conversation featuring Ho Kwon Ping, Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Group, on “Human-Centric AI: Redefining Trust, Experience and Leadership in the Intelligent Economy.” Drawing on his experience building and leading a global hospitality business, Ho will explore how organisations can embrace AI while preserving human connection, trust and purpose, and how leadership must evolve as intelligent technologies become increasingly embedded in business and society.
The other highlights in the programme include Embodied Intelligence: Bridging AI and Physical Action, which explores the next frontier of autonomous AI systems; Optimising Clinical Workflows with AI: Hospitals of the Future, examining how AI is transforming healthcare delivery; Autonomous Operations: AI in Ports, Airports & Freight Hubs, showcasing AI’s role in strengthening critical infrastructure; and From Experimentation to Enterprise-Wide AI Deployment, where industry leaders will share practical lessons on overcoming implementation barriers and successfully scaling AI initiatives.
“AI is entering a new phase where success depends on how effectively organisations can deploy and scale it in the real world. Through our partnerships with TechInnovation and AI Gravity, AIMX Singapore 2026 brings together the expertise, technologies and collaborations needed to accelerate AI adoption, create new business opportunities and strengthen Singapore’s position as a leading hub for AI innovation.” Jason Ng, Managing Director, MP Group.
Co-organised with TechInnovation, AIMX Singapore 2026 extends beyond knowledge-sharing to drive tangible collaboration and commercialisation of diverse technologies that extends beyond AI. Through TechInnovation’s tech-matching programme, participants can explore curated business meetings with enterprises, technology providers, researchers and investors to identify partnership and innovation opportunities. Delegates will also get the chance to speak with Innovation Advisors where they can receive guidance on business and technology adoption at IPI’s booth at the event.
“Most organisations today are not short of awareness about AI and innovation. What they need is a clear path from interest to implementation. Through TechInnovation we present a platform for businesses to cut through the noise, identify use cases that are grounded in real operational needs, and map out the next practical steps that will bring them close to create impactful outcomes.”, Michael Goh, Chief Executive Officer, IPI Singapore.
