MACAO, May 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The BEYOND Expo 2026 has shown what the future looks like as it delivers on its mission of ‘Empowering Asia, Bridging the World’ with a heavyweight showcase of the latest emerging technology and ideas from Asia. Held at The Venetian Cotai Expo with the theme “AI: Digital to Physical” the expo focuses on bringing AI from digital to the physical world. With the launch of many new products, nearly 800 exhibitors, the focus is on embodied intelligence, robotics, spatial computing, AI agents, open ecosystems, and global capital.

Following an Opening Ceremony that attracted over 1,000 guests from China, the EU, Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, UK, US and other countries, the show has already attracted high level visitors, including corporate executives, entrepreneurial leaders, investors, local government representatives, international partners. Over 500 international and leading tech media from all over the world have also joined creating a global innovation exchange platform that transcends regions, industries, and ecosystems.
At the opening ceremony, Jason Ho, co-founder of BEYOND Expo explained “BEYOND Expo aims to connect Asian innovation with global partners, creating more opportunities for exchange in technology, investment, sports, and entertainment. We don’t just have brilliant software companies building AI models; we have the powerhouse factories, advanced hardware innovators, and the infrastructure that actually gives AI its physical body. That is why we believe Asia is where BEYOND belongs. From next-gen chips to Physical AI, we don’t just design the digital future-we actually manufacture it.”
Setting the tone for BEYOND Expo, the Opening Ceremony speakers included Deepu Talla, Vice President Robotics & Edge AI at NVIDIA; Mark Nicholas Cutis, Senior Advisor for Strategic Projects in the Office of the Managing Director and CEO at the Abu Dhabi Investment Committee (ADIC); Felix Zhang, Founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics; Chi Xu, Founder and CEO of XREAL; and Matt White, Global Chief Technology Officer for AI at the Linux Foundation.
