AI Builders × APAC: From Models to Market
About Event
An exclusive, closed-door gathering of global AI founders, regional enterprise leaders, and Singapore policymakers to bridge the gap between AI innovation and APAC market dominance.
Bridging Innovation: From Model to Market
Join TiDB, Granite Asia and the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) for a high-stakes, "no-slides" evening during SuperAI Summit.
While the summit hums next door, we are convening a curated group of 50 stakeholders to move beyond the hype. This is where the world’s most ambitious AI founders meet the architects of Singapore’s digital economy and the strategic capital fueling the region's growth.
Why Attend?
The "Global-Local" Bridge: Connect with the founders of China’s leading AI unicorns and global innovators to discuss cross-border synergies.
Investment & Scaling Velocity: Gain insights from Granite Asia on the venture landscape and the strategic capital flows driving AI adoption across the Asia-Pacific.
Direct Policy Access: Engage with senior officials from EDB and IMDA—the creators of the Agentic AI Governance Framework. Get first-hand clarity on tax incentives, talent visas, and regulatory sandboxes.
The Chatham House Rule: No media, no fluff. We’re discussing the real friction of scaling AI in the Southeast Asian financial and tech sectors.
The Evening
18:30 — Doors Open Drinks and canapes. Arrive, settle in, connect.
19:00 — Institutional Opening Remarks Why Singapore, why now, why this room?
19:30 — What should AI infrastructure actually look like?
The architecture questions every builder is wrestling with. What teams tried and rejected, where they keep hitting the same wall, what the infrastructure layer needs to become in the next eighteen months.
20:00 — What's growing between the model and the product?
Most of the attention's on the model layer. But between a model and a product that actually ships, a new infrastructure layer is forming. Memory, retrieval, serving, orchestration. Four builders working on different pieces of it, talking about what it looks like today and where it goes next.
20:45 — Open Networking Cocktails and conversation until 9 PM.
