SWITCH 2026 in Singapore Focuses on AI, Deep Tech and Startup Growth
Published
Industry leaders gathered at SWITCH Singapore to discuss some of the most important topics in the technology sector. The event focused on artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, the commercialisation of deep tech, and ways for startups to get funding. Talent development was also a key subject of the discussions.
AI was one of the main themes of the event. Speakers talked about how businesses can use AI in their daily work and what challenges they may face when they introduce new technology. For many companies in Singapore, using AI is becoming a practical question rather than a future idea.
Deep tech, which refers to technology based on scientific research and engineering breakthroughs, was another major topic. Participants discussed how research ideas can be turned into products and services that can be sold. They also looked at how startups can raise money to grow, which is often difficult for young companies working on complex technologies.
Finally, the discussions highlighted the importance of developing skilled workers. As AI and deep tech continue to grow, companies need people with the right knowledge and abilities. Singapore's startup community depends on this talent, so training and education remain central to its long-term success.
