From humanoids for industry, retail and the home, to aviation, education, food, healthcare, marine, sport, smart homes and wearables, this powerful event brought the latest tech breakthroughs into the spotlight. With a focus on Asian tech, over 30,000 visitors from more than 120 countries flocked to The Venetian Cotai Expo to see nearly 800 companies. 400 speakers shared their perspectives on tech-related topics via keynote presentations and panel discussions.
At the BEYOND Expo Closing Ceremony, Kun Gao, Founder of Crunchyroll talked about the common problems faced by tech startups. He encouraged founders to think beyond their brilliant technology and learn how to tell their story to attract investors and partners.
The final day of the event included BEYOND AI Day which featured Demo Hack Day presentations, followed by the first ClawCon Macao attracting builders, makers, and developers from junior-school age upwards applying AI tools across diverse work and life scenarios.
Dr Lu Gang, Co-Founder of BEYOND Expo concluded over three days of activities by saying "BEYOND Expo remains committed to its mission of 'Empowering Asia, Bridging the World' by being at the forefront of technology. We didn't just invite so-called big names in AI. This year for the first time we focused on OPCs (one-person companies) and paid more attention to programmers, because they have the potential to become unicorns in the future. The youngest hacker in our AI HACK Day was just nine years old. This is really the future."
