Echelon Singapore

About the event

Echelon is the flagship technology conference run by e27, a Singapore-based media and community platform covering the Southeast Asian startup scene. The series was long known as Echelon Asia Summit and is now held under the name Echelon Singapore, usually as a two-day event in Singapore in early summer.

The programme mixes stage talks with practical formats: an exhibition floor with startup, marketplace and corporate booths, a demo stage where founders show working products, small roundtables, and an AI-assisted matchmaking service that pairs startups with investors by stage and sector. Recent editions have focused on applied AI and frontier technology, with sessions on AI deployment, cybersecurity and new energy. The 2026 edition took place on 3 and 4 June at Suntec Singapore, and dates for the following edition have not yet been published.
