MACAU, Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Today, TechNode and Macau International Grand Event Promotion Association

announce that the first BEYOND International Technology Innovation Expo will be

held in Macau next year.

As an emerging center of the global economy, the Asia–Pacific region needs an

international event that can display its most cutting-edge technologies to the

outside world and attract more investment and collaboration from the

international market. The BEYOND International Technology Innovation Expo is

that promising event.

The first BEYOND Expo will kick off on June 17, 2021 at the Venetian Macau. The

two-day event is expected to attract more than 10,000 attendees from around the

globe, and more than 1,000 exhibitors including Fortune Global 500 companies,

major multinational corporations, unicorns, and emerging startups. They will

show technologies ranging from life sciences to new infrastructure, smart city

applications, and future technology. The organizers will also invite more than

500 global investment firms and international media outlets to attend the

event. In addition to exhibitions and conferences, the BEYOND tech expo will

offer side events such as forums, innovation tours, product launch events,

startup demos, VC meetups, and afterparties.

BEYOND has already begun talks with many international companies, including CP

Group, Foxconn, BMW, Huawei, Mi, ZTE, AliCloud, and SenseTime.

Technology and its impact are the focus of the BEYOND Expo. BEYOND will

highlight how technology disrupts traditional businesses and addresses global

sustainability issues. BEYOND is meant to break boundaries across the global

tech industry and to create a platform on which innovation from corporates,

startups, universities around the world will be represented.
