AI & Data Summit 2026 Singapore brings together ASEAN’s leading technology and business decision-makers at a pivotal moment for the region’s digital future. By 2026, making responsible and trusted AI a top priority for boards and technology leaders. This summit gives you the insights, strategies, and frameworks needed to build AI systems that are secure, resilient, and scalable.

ASEAN is entering a high-growth data era. The big data and analytics market is projected to reach US$47.2 billion by 2028, as enterprises race to operationalize data at scale, modernize their architectures, and deploy AI that delivers measurable business impact. By 2027, business leaders will demand an 80% success rate for GenAI initiatives, pushing organizations to adopt more robust, value-driven AI models.

Governments across the region are also accelerating innovation. By 2026, half of ASEAN governments will fine-tune large language models (LLMs) on public-sector datasets, reshaping citizen services and unlocking new cross-sector collaboration opportunities. And by 2028, 60% of organizations will adopt distributed edge infrastructure, shifting AI toward real-time inferencing to improve latency, responsiveness, and data sovereignty.

As AI scales, trust becomes the foundation it rests on and this year the summit brings security and digital trust into the same conversation. With over 76% of Asia/Pacific enterprises not yet fully confident in their ability to detect and respond to AI-driven threats, building AI that is secure, compliant, and sovereign by design has moved from a technical concern to a board-level priority.

 

Join us at AI & Data Summit 2026 to explore the latest trends, technologies, and use cases transforming the region. Experience thought-leading keynotes, expert panels, hands-on demos, and strategic conversations that will help you architect trusted, high-performing AI and data ecosystems. Connect with peers, solution providers, and innovators shaping the next frontier of AI-powered growth in ASEAN.

IDC FutureScape: 2026 Top 10 Predictions

Data Readiness

By 2027, APEJ companies that do not prioritize high-quality, AI-ready data will struggle scaling GenAI and agentic solutions, resulting in a 20% productivity loss.

Pricing

By 2029, pure seat-based pricing will be obsolete as AI agents rapidly replace manual repetitive tasks with digital labor, forcing 70% of vendors to refactor their value proposition into new models.

Agentic AI Project Failure

By 2028, 65% of build-your-own agentic AI projects will have been abandoned after failing to meet ROI goals as organizations struggle to understand the actual costs and value of implementations.
