SINGAPORE, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tech Week Singapore 2026 returns to the Sands Expo & Convention Centre on 29–30 September 2026. Organised by global events producer CloserStill Media, this year’s edition, themed “The Infrastructure Era”, will welcome Mr Tan Kiat How, Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, as Guest of Honour on the first day of the event.

Tech Week Singapore 2026 will see the return of its flagship co-located shows, including Cloud & AI Infrastructure, DevOps Live, Cyber Security World, Big Data & AI World, and Data Centre World. The 2026 edition is set to host over 600 regional and international speakers with special conference theatres.

“As AI moves from experimentation into enterprise operations, the question for technology leaders is no longer whether to adopt new systems, but whether the infrastructure beneath them is ready. Across Asia, that means focusing on the foundations required to scale responsibly, including resilient infrastructure, strong governance, sustainable usage of energy and the right technical capabilities,” said CloserStill Media’s Managing Director for Asia Pacific, Andy Kiwanuka. “Now in its 12th edition, Tech Week Singapore remains a major meeting point for the region’s technology ecosystem. With the launch of Tech Week Shanghai earlier this year, we are building on that foundation to extend these conversations across Asia, connecting government, enterprise leaders and the infrastructure ecosystem shaping the next phase of digital growth.“

What’s New at Tech Week Singapore 2026

• This year’s show marks the first time the Open Compute Project (OCP) will host OCP Southeast Asia Tech Day at Data Centre World Asia, as industry leaders convene to explore how open hardware and next-generation infrastructure are accelerating Asia’s digital infrastructure growth.
• For the first time, Cyber Security World Asia will introduce a Live Vehicle Cyber Hackathon. The competition challenges participants to test a vehicle’s cyber defences, driving innovation in AI-enabled vehicle security while bringing together future cybersecurity talent.
• Big Data & AI World will also host an AI Consultation Clinic by Beyondsoft, where enterprises can learn how to harness data and translate them into AI-driven business solutions.
