Sessions explore AI's next phase, startup financing and growth, enterprise adoption, agent security, AI infrastructure and the technologies that could follow the smartphone. Speakers also examine how teams can build AI products, scale businesses and assess what autonomous systems are ready to do.
Startup pitches and industry conversations
The expo features more than 320 startups, while the Pitch Showcase Stage hosts rapid, one-minute presentations from companies representing different regions. Startup Battlefield's final is also on the agenda, with the 2026 winner set to be announced.
Other discussions look at early-stage acquisitions, fundraising before a product launch, AI's impact on software business models, and the changing relationship between people and technology. Attendees can also take part in roundtables and networking activities.
By bringing emerging companies and experienced technology leaders into the same conversation, the event offers a snapshot of ideas that may influence how future products and businesses are built. Continued exchange between these groups could help turn new technologies into practical tools.
