Singapore, 16 April 2019 – With transformation at the top of their agenda,
business leaders are meeting at ConnecTechAsia, held in Singapore from 18 – 20 June 2019, to

(TMT) knowledge powerhouse, leveraging new partnerships with leading business
intelligence and research affiliates such as Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, Light Reading, McKinsey, Ovum and Tractica, to provide expert insights to all event stakeholders, not just during three event days, but throughout the year.

“Knowledge
has always been the most powerful asset to have, and today’s enterprises need additional clarity to optimise business
decisions and harness opportunities. ConnecTechAsia will bring the combined
value of its new knowledge partnerships providing TMT intelligence to our
stakeholders throughout the year, culminating over three event days in June
when the industry comes together to share, make deals and network. This new iteration
of ConnecTechAsia is testament to our ever-growing commitment to support the TMT
industry and facilitate its path towards successful growth in the region,” says

ConnecTechAsia Exhibition Highlights

Apex Pavilion, housing leading telecom operators and vendors to present a
comprehensive showcase of enterprise solutions vital to the digital
transformation of businesses.

the ASEAN Smart City Network (SCN), in
cooperation with country partners such as China, South Korea, Japan and
Singapore, and the ASEAN Smart Cities Communities (SCC), 2019 will see a new Smart Cities Arena at ConnecTechAsia.
