The Asia Optoelectronics Expo (APE 2026) will be held from February 4 to 6, 2026 at the Marina Bay Sands Convention and Exhibition Center in Singapore. As Asia's leading optoelectronics industry event, APE 2026 will comprehensively present the latest achievements and applications in cutting-edge fields such as optical communications, optics, semiconductors, lasers, infrared, sensing and quantum, and strive to create an international high-end platform integrating exhibition, exchange and cooperation.
Specialized technology exhibition areas focus on cutting-edge technologies and the latest breakthroughs
This exhibition has specially set up a number of special technology exhibition areas to focus on key breakthroughs and innovative applications in the global optoelectronics and semiconductor fields. It brings together many internationally renowned companies and industrial resources to help participants deeply grasp technological trends and market opportunities.
l Semiconductor Exhibition Area: Semiconductor technology has become an important engine for the development of modern society. Southeast Asia is a key hub for global semiconductor manufacturing and innovation. Semiconductor exports will reach US$234 billion in 2023, accounting for 20% of total global exports. Countries have a clear division of labor in the industrial chain: Singapore occupies the top spot in the global semiconductor industry10% of the end-end R&D and design output value, Malaysia's back-end manufacturing accounts for 13%, Vietnam has rapidly emerged as an important undertaker of packaging and testing services, and Thailand has driven the continued growth of semiconductors with strong demand from the automotive electronics and PCB industries. APE 2026 will set up a semiconductor exhibition area for the first time to promote the in-depth integration of optoelectronics and semiconductors and help companies enter the strategic market of Southeast Asia.
l Quantum Exhibition Area: With Singapore launching the National Quantum Strategy (NQS) in May 2024, quantum technology research and development and ecological construction have entered the fast lane. The APE 2026 quantum exhibition area will systematically display cutting-edge achievements in quantum computing, quantum communications and security, quantum precision measurement and core components, build a high-energy platform for quantum technology exchanges and cooperation, and promote its application in fields such as communications, biomedicine, detection and measurement, and artificial intelligence.
l Integrated Photonics Exhibition Area:APE 2026 launches the Integrated Photonics Exhibition Area, which focuses on presenting key products and solutions such as silicon photonic chips and photonic integrated circuits. It is coordinated with the semiconductor exhibition area to connect the entire industry chain of "materials-design-manufacturing-packaging". The exhibition area will in-depth display the innovative applications of optical chip technology in data centers, telecommunications, medical, sensing, quantum and other fields, injecting "light" power into industrial upgrading.
Focus on the frontier of optoelectronics and empower the future of the industry
APE 2026 will hold a series of industry and application themed forums at the same time, focusing in depth on popular fields such as quantum technology, optoelectronics, and semiconductors, and conducting in-depth discussions around cutting-edge technologies and innovative applications, and is committed to creating a high-level communication and learning platform for practitioners in the global optoelectronics industry. The forum will invite well-known experts and scholars from top companies, scientific research institutions and universities as guest speakers to share the latest technological innovation results, industry development insights and future trends.
In addition, APE 2026 will also arrange a wealth of social activities, including an opening dinner, specially invited buyer matching, happy hours, and visits to local universities and optoelectronic companies in Singapore, etc., to provide attendees with more opportunities to expand high-end connections and cooperation.
As Asia’s optoelectronics industry continues to develop at a rapid pace, APE 2026 will become an excellent platform for companies to enhance their brand influence and connect with emerging markets. We sincerely invite colleagues in the global optoelectronics field to gather in Singapore and work together to create a new future for the industry!
