Super AI 2026

SuperAI, Asia's largest AI conference, has unveiled its initial lineup of speakers for SuperAI 2026, gathering key figures from the global AI community as Singapore solidifies its role as a neutral hub for the AI sector worldwide.

Scheduled for 10-11 June 2026 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, SuperAI is set to attract over 10,000 participants, 1,500 AI companies, more than 100 exhibitors, and over 150 speakers from more than 150 nations. Now in its third year, the conference serves as a rare global forum where cutting-edge model developers, infrastructure providers, researchers, investors, policymakers, founders, and AI-focused startups converge.

The first group of confirmed speakers features Max Tegmark, MIT Professor of Physics and AI Research; Robbie Schingler, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Planet Labs; Min-Liang Tan, CEO of Razer; Andy Hock, CSO and SVP at Cerebras Systems; Ramine Tinati, Director at Google DeepMind; Charu Maheshwari, Product Finance and Strategy at Anthropic; Zixuan Li, Head of Z.ai; David Lee, EVP at Samsung Next; and Ned Koh, Co-Founder and President of Aaru.

They will be joined by industry leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Mistral AI, Unitree, Cerebras Systems, and others. Balaji Srinivasan, Founder, Investor, and Author of The Network State, will deliver a keynote on the personal, private, and programmable future of AI, while Benedict Evans will return to SuperAI to provide his annual AI outlook and industry trends briefing.

As export controls become stricter, sovereign AI strategies advance, and the competition for computing resources, talent, and capital grows fiercer, the necessity for collaboration on neutral ground is increasingly pressing. SuperAI 2026 is tailored for this critical juncture.

“While there are significant AI events globally, SuperAI plays a unique role. It's one of the few venues where the entire global AI ecosystem assembles—frontier model builders, infrastructure companies, investors, researchers, policymakers, and startups from the US, China, Europe, and Asia,” stated Peter Noszek, Co-Founder of SuperAI. “At a time when AI is becoming more fragmented due to geography, regulation, and compute access, Singapore offers the neutral platform the industry requires.”

The program will explore frontier models and AI systems; GPUs, data centers, energy, and compute scaling; agents and enterprise software; robotics and embodied AI; AI in finance; biotech and healthtech; and AI’s broader impact on safety, governance, workforce transformation, and public sector deployment.

SuperAI 2026 will also host Genesis, the SuperAI Startup Competition, providing AI founders direct access to leading investors, enterprise leaders, and potential partners. The Top 50 startups will be showcased on SuperAI Singapore, with 10 finalists selected to pitch live at Marina Bay Sands. The US$100,000 prize pool is sponsored by OpenAI.

Nanyang Biologics, the 2025 Genesis winner, is preparing for a Nasdaq listing through a US$1.5 billion business combination. Finalists will be judged by experts including Indranil Sarkar, Startups at OpenAI, and Anand Iyer, Founder and Managing Partner at Canonical.

SuperAI 2026 will be the cornerstone of Singapore AI Week from 8-14 June 2026, featuring Genesis, the NEXT Hackathon supported by AWS and Vercel, alongside labs, workshops, community events, and meetups throughout Singapore.

Recent speaker updates feature Carmen Li, CEO of Silicon Data. Earlier this week, CME Group revealed the introduction of a compute futures market based on Silicon Data's daily GPU benchmarks. Carmen and her company are at the forefront of converting AI compute from a hidden operational expense into a tradable asset class.

Other confirmed speakers include Charu Maheshwari from Anthropic, Ramine Tinati from Google DeepMind, and renowned analyst Benedict Evans.

This week also saw the announcement of the 50 finalists for SuperAI's global AI startup competition. With a total prize pool of US$850,000 and sponsorship from Microsoft for Startups and OpenAI, Genesis has become the largest AI pitching competition worldwide. The finalists represent frontier models, AI infrastructure, agents and developer tools, robotics and embodied AI, biotech and health, AI in finance, and applied AI for enterprises.
