Amid rapid technological change and evolving industry boundaries, today’s founders are more than product builders—they are visionaries shaping the future. They find clarity in uncertainty, direction in disruption, and turn bold ideals into lasting impact.

From May 22–23, the Founder Talk will take centre stage at the Venetian Macao’s Cotai Expo. This dynamic two-day forum will spotlight breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology and business innovation, with a special focus on four transformative sectors:

  • Health Tech
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Consumer Tech
  • Climate Tech

Bringing together pioneering minds from across the globe, the forum will feature keynote from each of the founders. These distinguished speakers—entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators—are shaping the next generation of products, industries, and global markets. Their stories of overcoming challenges, driving iteration, and delivering impact will provide a comprehensive picture of the tech-powered future.
