Has South-east Asia reached its AI inflection point or stalled at pilots?

AI ADOPTION across South-east Asia is accelerating. Investment is rising, experimentation is widespread, and leadership intent is clear. Yet for many organisations, turning AI ambition into measurable business impact remains elusive.

This sets the backdrop for the exclusive report launch of AI in South-east Asia 2026: An Era of Opportunity, brought to you by QuantumBlack (AI by McKinsey), the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), and Tech in Asia. Happening on Feb 11, this two-hour session brings together leaders from across the region to examine what the next phase of AI execution looks like for organisations operating at scale.

The session focuses on how South-east Asia’s enterprise leaders are evolving with the AI era. It will discuss strategies involving leadership alignment and organisational readiness, as well as the realities of scaling AI across markets and functions. This event is built to give senior decision-makers insights on how their peers are navigating similar execution challenges at scale.

What to expect from the session:

• A main-stage fireside conversation focused on enterprise AI adoption
• Key insights drawn from the AI in South-east Asia 2026: An Era of Opportunity report
