Shape the Conversation
AWE Asia × Scale X 2027 brings together five days of programming across two connected events in Shanghai from spatial computing and physical AI to the strategies powering Asia's AI companies as they scale into global markets. We're now inviting operators, researchers, founders, and investors shaping this next chapter to apply as speakers.
Whether your work sits in XR hardware, spatial AI, physical AI, or global growth and go-to-market strategy, this is where your audience is.
Where Does Your Work Fit
AWE Asia 2027's program follows the same path the technology does: from the hardware you build on, to the intelligence that understands space, to the systems that act within it. Find where your work fits.
Spatial AI
Perception & World Models
Teaching systems to read, map, and reason about physical space, computer vision, generative 3D, world models. We want the builders making machines understand where they are.
XR & Spatial Computing
Hardware & Interfaces
Building the headsets, glasses, displays, and SDKs everything else runs on. We want the engineers and product leads shipping the platforms, not just prototyping on top of them.
Physical AI
Robotics & Embodied Action
Moving AI off the screen and into the world, robots, autonomous systems, embodied agents. We want the teams taking that understanding and putting it into motion, and scaling it globally.
