03 JUNE 26 | Growth Stage | Ecosystems in the Era of AI Convergence

Startup ecosystems have evolved significantly over the past decade, moving from isolated local hubs to interconnected networks shaped by global capital, talent flows, and technological convergence. This session will explore how regional ecosystems have developed over time and how AI is accelerating the integration of industries, technologies, and geographies. It will examine how innovation now emerges at the intersection of markets and sectors, and what this means for the next phase of ecosystem growth in an increasingly connected world.
