Singapore's positioning as a neutral meeting ground for the global AI industry gets its most prominent test yet next month, as SuperAI returns to Marina Bay Sands for its third edition on June 10–11.
The conference, billed as Asia's largest AI event, will draw 10,000 attendees, 1,500 AI companies, and more than 150 speakers from over 150 countries. The first wave of confirmed names includes Max Tegmark, Professor of Physics and AI Research at MIT; Robbie Schingler, Co-Founder and CSO of Planet Labs; Min-Liang Tan, CEO of Razer; Andy Hock, CSO and SVP at Cerebras Systems; and representatives from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and Mistral AI. Balaji Srinivasan, author of The Network State, will deliver a keynote on the personal, private and programmable future of AI, while analyst Benedict Evans returns to present his annual industry outlook.
The timing gives the event a sharper edge than its predecessors. Export controls on semiconductors and AI infrastructure have tightened considerably over the past year, sovereign AI strategies have accelerated across Southeast Asia, the Gulf, and Europe, and the compute, talent, and capital landscape is fragmenting along geographic lines.
SuperAI's co-founder Peter Noszek framed the conference's purpose in those terms directly. "As AI becomes more fragmented by geography, regulation and compute access, Singapore is one of the few places that can credibly convene the full stack — model builders, infrastructure companies, investors, researchers, policymakers and AI-native startups," he said in a statement.
The programme is organised around six themes: frontier models and AI systems; infrastructure including GPUs, data centres, and energy; robotics and embodied AI; biotech and health applications; AI in finance and enterprise adoption; and safety, governance, and workforce transformation. The partner and exhibition ecosystem spans Mistral AI, Unitree, Arm, Alibaba Cloud, Vercel, and Snowflake — a lineup that reflects the full AI stack from foundation models to enterprise deployment and embodied hardware.
SuperAI 2026 will also run Genesis, its startup competition, in which 50 emerging AI companies will be showcased and 10 finalists selected to pitch live for a $100,000 prize pool powered by OpenAI.
The conference anchors Singapore AI Week, running June 8–14, which will also include the NEXT Hackathon backed by AWS and Vercel, alongside labs, workshops, and community events across the city.
Tickets are on sale at superai.com . Further speakers will be announced on a rolling basis ahead of June.
