Starlabs Consulting, CDDJAP and CAN-CEO Labs Convene Founders and Investors in Macau During BEYOND Expo 2026 to Explore the Future of AI, Web3 and Innovation
During BEYOND Expo 2026, Starlabs Consulting joined forces with CDDJAP, CAN-CEO Labs, and ecosystem partners to host a private gathering of founders, investors, startup operators, and ecosystem builders in Macau.
The event created an opportunity for candid conversations around AI, Web3, Real World Assets (RWA), entrepreneurship, and emerging opportunities across the innovation economy. Away from the busy conference environment, participants exchanged perspectives on building startups, navigating market shifts, identifying new growth opportunities, and fostering stronger connections across innovation communities.
Rather than focusing solely on technology trends, the discussions centered on the people and relationships that drive innovation forward. The gathering reflected a shared belief that meaningful conversations and trusted networks remain essential ingredients for building successful companies and vibrant ecosystems.
Building Connections Across Innovation Ecosystems
For Starlabs Consulting, the gathering forms part of a broader mission to connect entrepreneurs, investors, and innovation communities across Asia and beyond.
As emerging technologies continue to reshape industries, opportunities increasingly arise at the intersection of different ecosystems, markets, and disciplines. By bringing together founders, investors, ecosystem builders, and industry leaders, Starlabs seeks to create spaces where ideas can be exchanged, partnerships can emerge, and long-term collaboration can take root.
“Macau is genuinely surprising. Beyond its well-known strengths in tourism and finance, there is a serious and fast-growing startup ecosystem here — backed by forward-thinking policies, hands-on incubation programs, and a tight-knit community of founders who are deeply committed to building.
— Jenny Yang, CEO, Starlabs Consulting
Events like this one are exactly how we bridge global innovation communities with the opportunities emerging right here in Macau. This is only the beginning of what Starlabs Consulting has planned for the region.”
Macau as a Startup Destination
Once associated primarily with gaming and hospitality, Macau has in recent years developed a robust policy framework aimed at attracting technology startups and innovation-driven enterprises.
With direct access to the Greater Bay Area ecosystem, competitive establishment costs, and government-backed incubation support, the city is increasingly on the radar of founders seeking a strategic Asia-Pacific base.
Starlabs Consulting sees significant untapped potential in Macau’s startup landscape and intends to deepen its presence in the region through a series of upcoming events, ecosystem partnerships, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
As the regional innovation ecosystem continues to evolve, Starlabs remains committed to empowering founders, supporting emerging technologies, and creating platforms where meaningful connections can lead to long-term impact.
