INSEAD Tech Venture Summit
INSEAD Tech Venture Summit
Overview
The Rudolf and Valeria Maag INSEAD Centre for Entrepreneurship is excited to host the INSEAD Tech Venture Summit on Tuesday, 28 October 2025. This event is a prelude to Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) Conference organised by Enterprise Singapore (ESG). The summit explores the theme of:
Reimagining the Future of Enterprises
The entrepreneurial landscape is at a critical inflection point. Driven by exponential technological change, shifting societal expectations, and unprecedented global challenges, the way we build and grow businesses is being fundamentally redefined. Under the theme "Reimagining the Future of Enterprises", this summit will explore what it truly means to innovate, lead, and create value in the decades to come.
From artificial intelligence and blockchain to climate change, the forces shaping our world demand new thinking and bold action. Entrepreneurs are no longer just disruptors—they are architects of systems, economies, and communities. This event invites founders, investors, policymakers, corporate leaders, and academic thinkers to come together and examine how enterprises can remain agile, impactful, and resilient in the face of continuous change.
The summit will feature an engaging mix of keynote speeches from visionary leaders, interactive panel discussions with industry disruptors, intimate fireside chats, and hands-on workshops designed to equip participants with actionable insights and tools.
Whether you're an early-stage founder looking to future-proof your startup, an investor seeking the next wave of game-changing ventures, an academic or educator shaping the next generation of changemakers, or a policymaker crafting frameworks for inclusive innovation—this summit offers something for you.
More than just a conference, Reimagining the Future of Enterprises is a call to action. It’s a space to challenge assumptions, share learnings, and co-create the next chapter of entrepreneurship, one that is more adaptive, ethical, inclusive, and sustainable.
Join us as we chart the path forward and unlock new possibilities for enterprise.
This event is part of the kick off of the INSEAD Asia Campus 25th Anniversary Celebration
