From 29 to 31 May, Asia’s flagship tech platform, Asia Tech x Singapore (ATxSG) will host over 25,000 global leaders and industry decision makers to chart the path forward in building an inclusive global digital future that will impact the world’s economic ambitions. The fourth edition of ATxSG will explore the intersection of tech with society and the digital economy and facilitate debate around some of the most exciting tech developments and key challenges facing the industry today. ATxSG 2024, jointly organised by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Informa Tech, includes two main segments – ATxSummit and ATxEnterprise.
We are increasingly seeing and experiencing the growing disruptive impact of technology in the way we live, work and play. More so than ever, governments, enterprises and individuals need to make a collaborative effort to engage in strategic discourse and spearhead initiatives that will make a positive impact on our digital future. Given Singapore’s unique position as a global-Asia node to the world’s fastest growing digital economies, we look forward to hosting participants at this year’s ATxSG as they delve deep into these critical conversations
