BEYOND has announced the return of one of Asia’s biggest tech expos- BEYOND International Technology Innovation Expo (BEYOND Expo), from 10 May – 12 May 2023 at the Venetian Macao Convention and Exhibition Centre.
BEYOND will also partner with startup ecosystem builders like Singapore Management University’s Institute of Innovation & Entrepreneurship to ensure the local startups and young entrepreneur community have an opportunity to be part of Asia’s largest technology events.
BEYOND Expo comes at an opportune time, considering the hiring slowdown and tech layoffs that the Singapore tech industry is currently facing due to economic uncertainty.
With most Singaporean tech companies paying 10% higher than the median, companies with stable and strong cash flow and profitability will have a greater chance of retaining and attracting tech talents.
Key highlights:
● Focus on: BEYOND Healthcare, BEYOND Sustainability, BEYOND ConsumerTech
● Opening speakers include the Founder and Chairman of Hillhouse, Lei Zhang; Global Head of Digital Services Milton Santiago; the Founding Chairman of International Digital Economy Academy, Xiangyang Shen; and Chairman of Contemporary Amperex Technology, Yuqun Zeng
● Key events include: Summit (Healthcare, Sustainability & ConsumerTech), Fund at First Pitch, BEYOND Awards Ceremony and Demo Day
To remain relevant and stay on top of the latest trends to provide the best possible solutions for their consumers, these industries must constantly leverage the latest technologies available.
In a rapidly advancing world, industries such as healthcare, sustainability and consumer-tech are some of the crucial sectors that will continue to play a significant role in the upcoming years.
The healthcare industry, for instance, has long been recognised as one of the most critical industries that should integrate technology to achieve greater accuracy at diagnosing and treating, higher efficiency, and most importantly, making Healthcare more accessible.
“We believe that sustainability and consumer-tech tie very closely together. Technology has shaped and changed our lives extensively within the past 3 years and will continue to do so rather exponentially in 2023 and in the coming years.
“Specifically in Singapore, the National Environmental Agency stated that 60,000 tonnes of e-waste are generated each year equating to about 70 mobile phones being thrown by each Singaporean.
“Hence, it is now our social responsibility to place greater emphasis on leveraging
technologies and focus on developing sustainable tech solutions to ensure Singapore sticks to its journey of achieving net zero by 2050,” said Dr Gang Lu, co-founder of BEYOND Expo.
“We are eager and excited to extend this opportunity to a greater number of Singapore’s innovative businesses to exhibit their latest technological offerings to a global audience in Macau,” he added.
Through having the platform and environment to learn from one another across various experience levels and skill sets, the tech ecosystem can continue to grow and progress in 2023.
BEYOND expo will provide Singaporeans with the opportunity to stay ahead of the curve, gain insights into the latest technological advancements, and be able to experience what the future of technology has to offer in order to remain competitive and relevant.
