1st Singapore Hardware Meetup | SWITCH
We're hosting our 1st Singapore Hardware Meetup at the end of October! We're meeting during Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2025 (29-31 Oct) as leaders, builders, founders, investors, and partners join from across the world.
Hardware Meetups happen in over 40+ cities around the world, bringing together hardware professionals of all different backgrounds, skill sets, and years of experience to network, collaborate, and learn from each other.
Because this is a Hardware Meetup, if you're working on a product, don't come to the meetup empty-handed. One of the most exciting things about building hardware is that others can experience it in a tactile way that's simply not possible with software products.
Bring your prototypes, hardware demos, and inventions to show fellow attendees.
We have some great guest speakers lined up
