Since the establishment of the BEYOND Expo in 2020 until now, we have often been asked why we decided to create BEYOND and why we chose Macao. In the past 10 years, global technological innovation has increasingly focused on Asia, not only due to the rapid development of China’s technology industry but also because of the immense market potential in Asia. According to research published in 2020 by McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), Over the last decade, the region has accounted for 52% of global growth in tech-company revenues, 43% of startup funding, 51% of spending on research and development, and 87% of patents filed. Moreover, Asia is leading not only in consumer technology but also investing significant resources in technology-driven innovation in the fields of life sciences and sustainable development, from governments to industries. However, due to language and cultural barriers, the innovative forces in Asian countries have not received as much attention as those in Europe and America, and limited communication between Asian countries and the global innovation ecosystem. Therefore, we believe that Asia needs a platform that can bring together the innovation ecosystems of different countries and regions each year, to share and showcase the latest innovative ideas, products, and technologies, and to propel Asian innovation onto a larger global stage. These innovations extend beyond consumer technology to include life sciences and sustainable development. Although Macao has a small geographical area and local market, it is backed by the vast market of the Greater Bay Area, which includes Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. With its international and neutral positioning, world-class hotel facilities and exhibition services, and vibrant open city culture, Macao serves as a gateway not only between China and the world but also between Asia and the world. Therefore, we strongly believe that BEYOND Expo will become a unique world-class technology innovation platform in Asia.
Over the past three years, despite the uncertainties brought by the pandemic, we have steadfastly pursued our goals to become an international technology innovation platform . A few days ago, BEYOND Expo 2023 had total number of attendees 15000+, with over 600 companies mostly from the world participating in the exhibition. We curated more than 150 exciting panels, invited in excess of 200 media outlets to cover the event, and received over 11,000 coverage. BEYOND Expo has reached a new level in terms of scale and international influence. Here, we would also like to express our gratitude to all our partners for their support. When we saw so many entrepreneurs, experts, government representatives, venture capitalists, and media from around the world at BEYOND Expo for the first time, whether in the exhibition area, on stage, or at various banquets and parties, your full three-day itinerary is the greatest value that we hope BEYOND Expo can bring.
The pandemic is over, and the world is in urgent need of restarting cross-regional technological cooperation. Artificial intelligence is causing unprecedented transformations in various industries, and technological advancements are leading humanity into new realms such as virtual worlds, quantum fields, and outer space, among others. In this rapidly evolving technological landscape, where new trends and disruptions are constantly emerging, coupled with unnecessary factors such as geopolitical economics. It becomes crucial for individuals or organizations to have the courage to explore the unknown and embrace innovation and change. Therefore, looking ahead to BEYOND Expo 2024, we have chosen the theme for next year: “Embracing the Uncertainties”. We anticipate a more grand and diverse BEYOND Expo and boldly expect over 1000 exhibitors and more than 30,000 attendees, among which you will find a greater number of innovative forces from Asian countries and regions. BEYOND Expo will not only be a showcase platform for innovative technologies but also a gathering of global innovation leaders. We will make every effort to promote BEYOND Week, centered around technology and incorporating various elements such as music festivals, making it an international carnival. BEYOND Expo in 2024, “Embracing the Uncertainties“, will truly be exceptional!
We extend our most sincere invitation to you and your organization. Save the date – May 23-25, 2024, and we look forward to gathering with each and every one of you in Macao.
