BEYOND Expo 2026 Unveils Star-Studded Speakers for Billion-Dollar Investment Summit in Macao

The BEYOND Expo 2026 Global Investment Summit has revealed a powerhouse lineup of 19 venture capital leaders for its May 29 event.

Hosted at The Venetian Macao Cotai Expo, it expects over 900 top investors, 150 Asian tech giants, and 200 unicorn executives to converge.

Elite Speakers Driving Discussions

Akio Tanaka, Founding Partner at Headline Asia, will share insights on Asia's VC landscape.

Cyril Ebersweiler, General Partner at SOSV, joins alongside Magnus Grimeland, Founder of Antler.

Other key figures include Esther Wong of 3C AGI Partners and Chibo Tang from Gobi Partners.

Growth of BEYOND Expo

Launched in recent years, BEYOND Expo has exploded to attract 20,000 participants from 70 countries by 2024.

Macao's choice as venue underscores its pivot from gaming to a tech and innovation hub in the Greater Bay Area.

Why This Matters for Global Tech

The summit spotlights Asia's capital pull amid US-China tensions, signaling resilient investment flows.

A non-obvious angle: It positions Macao as a neutral bridge for cross-border deals in AI and green tech.

Startups gain matchmaking access to billions, spurring innovations like smarter devices and sustainable solutions.

For everyday people, this means more jobs, affordable tech advancements, and economic ripple effects worldwide.
