Bringing together pioneers from the semiconductor, electronics, precision engineering, medtech, and green manufacturing sectors, the summit takes place in Johor, a rising hub for innovation and cross-border collaboration under the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) initiative.
Themed “Driving Sustainable Transformation in the New Industrial Era: AI, Innovation & Cross-Border Value Chain Resilience,” this year’s summit highlights how AI-driven technologies, digital innovation, and strategic partnerships are enabling industries to build more agile, intelligent, and sustainable ecosystems that transcend borders.
At its core, AIM Asia Summit 2026 explores how automation, data intelligence, and AI are revolutionising production and supply chains by optimising efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and strengthening regional interconnectivity. The discussions will also examine how collaborative frameworks like the JS-SEZ are redefining cross-border manufacturing, talent mobility, and investment flows between Malaysia, Singapore, and the wider ASEAN region.
Through high-level dialogues, innovation showcases, and partnership-building sessions, the summit aims to spark transformative collaboration across industries and borders, cultivating resilient value chains, advancing sustainability, and positioning Asia as the epicentre of next-generation industrial growth.
