AI Salon Singapore (12 June 2026)
AI Salon Singapore — June Edition
AI is moving from hype to execution.
Across every industry, founders, builders, investors, corporates, and operators are asking the same question:
What does it actually take to build, deploy, fund, and scale real AI products and AI-first companies today?
This June, AI Salon Singapore returns for another evening of sharp conversations, practical insights, founder energy, and high-signal networking with the people building the future of AI.
AI Salon is one of the largest global communities of AI startup builders, founders, investors, and ecosystem partners — spanning 75+ cities, 1,000+ events, 4,000+ investors, 3,000+ startups, and 40,000+ attendees worldwide.
In Singapore, we are building a recurring community for the people who are not just watching the AI wave, but actively shaping it.
Since launching the Singapore chapter, we have brought together 600+ sign-ups, 300+ attendees, 20+ speakers, and a growing network of founders, builders, investors, corporates, and AI operators across the ecosystem.
This is not another generic AI talk.
It is a room for real conversations, early signals, honest perspectives, and meaningful connections.

Meet the Partners
AI Salon is the global community bringing together AI founders and builders, investors, and partners to connect and collaborate. We are starting new chapters in every city so join us to build the largest Global AI community.
StartupX is a global innovation partner for those building what’s next. We collaborate with corporates, governments, and startups to launch ventures, scale businesses, and drive bold transformation. Since 2018, we’ve supported startups from 110+ countries and partnered with some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies. Founded by entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders, we built StartupX to challenge the status quo of how innovation gets done in Asia.
The Singapore Global Network (SGN) is an initiative by the Economic Development Board (EDB) to create a community of overseas Singaporeans and non-Singaporeans interested in Singapore. Founded in June 2019, its goal is to leverage its community to create opportunities for its members and Singapore more broadly.
This event is supported by the Singapore Global Network — Connecting Singapore’s global network of family, friends and fans. By registering, attendees consent to the sharing of their registration and attendance information with Singapore Global Network for event reporting and to receive relevant news, updates and invitations.
