From 27 to 29 October 2026, Singapore will host the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2026, one of Asia's premier platforms for innovation, entrepreneurship and deep technology. The event brings together startups, investors, corporates, researchers and policymakers from across the global innovation ecosystem.

SWITCH features a comprehensive programme of conferences, exhibitions, networking opportunities and innovation-focused activities. Participants can discover the latest developments in artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, climate and energy solutions, healthcare and biotech, advanced technologies and digital connectivity.

A key highlight is the internationally recognised SLINGSHOT startup competition, where promising companies showcase their innovations to investors and industry leaders. Dedicated matchmaking sessions and market-access programmes further support international collaboration and business expansion.

With more than 25,000 attendees, over 400 exhibitors and participants from more than 100 markets, SWITCH offers an outstanding opportunity to connect with global innovation leaders, discover emerging technologies and explore business opportunities in Asia.

We look forward to seeing you there!
