The two-day expo, co-hosted by VRIGroup and DailySocial, brought together more than 2,800 business leaders, software providers, AI developers, and investors from across Asia.
JAKARTA, July 15, 2026 — B2B Tech Asia Expo 2026 (BTA ’26) officially opened on July 1-2, 2026 at AXA Tower, Kuningan City Grand Ballroom, Jakarta, delivering a clear message: artificial intelligence (AI) and software have become the core foundation of business operations across Southeast Asia. Co-organized by VRIGroup and DailySocial, the expo gathered business leaders, software providers, AI developers, investors, and digital transformation executives from across the region.
Held under the theme “The Dawn of Asia’s B2B Tech Mega Market,” BTA ’26 spotlighted the region’s growing corporate investment in automation, operational intelligence, cloud computing, and AI-powered productivity platforms. The opening day alone drew approximately 1,500 attendees, who took part in a series of keynotes and panel discussions covering enterprise AI adoption, workforce transformation, software scalability, and the role of data in business operations.
VRIGroup Founder and CEO Yuiichiro Sasaki noted that Southeast Asia has moved past the early stage of digital adoption and is now entering a period where AI and software integration is fundamental to how companies operate and scale. He added that BTA ’26 stands as clear evidence that the market for B2B solutions in the region has fully taken shape.
Echoing this view, DailySocial Group Founder and CEO Rama Mamuaya explained that BTA ’26 serves as a platform for companies to evaluate the AI and software solutions they need to boost business productivity.
As the global software market matures, Southeast Asia is increasingly viewed as a new frontier for B2B technology expansion, driven by its large digital workforce, accelerating corporate digitalization, and rising demand for AI-driven operational efficiency. AI is no longer treated as a supplementary technology; across industries it is being adopted as core infrastructure supporting customer service, HR operations, finance, analytics, cybersecurity, and overall enterprise productivity.
Beyond its conference sessions, BTA ’26 featured an exhibition floor showcasing a wide range of business solutions, including AI platforms, enterprise software, cloud services, HR tech, fintech infrastructure, cybersecurity solutions, and automation technologies from both regional and international companies. Day two of the expo focused on strategies for scaling enterprise innovation, cross-border software operations, business matchmaking sessions, and the broader development of Asia’s corporate technology ecosystem.
