AI Summit
Brings together leading voices in technology, business
Join us for EuroCham’s AI Summit: this half-day summit brings together leading voices in technology, business, and policy to explore how organisations in Singapore and across Southeast Asia are moving from AI experimentation to tangible results.
Discussions will delve into how companies have successfully implemented the governance structures and internal environments needed to drive AI experimentation and adoption, while adapting to the evolving external regulatory frameworks across the region. Speakers will also share insights from corporate AI implementation programmes, highlighting early signals of measurable returns and lessons learned from turning pilots into business value.
