Singapore, 6 February 2026 – The third edition of the Asia Photonics Expo (APE) 2026 concluded today at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, following three days of exhibitions, conferences and business engagement that brought together the global photonics and semiconductor ecosystem.
The 3rd edition of the Asia Photonics Expo (APE) officially opened today at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, convening the global photonics and semiconductor ecosystem for three days of networking, conferences, and industry collaboration from 4-6 February 2026.
Under the theme “Driving Innovation Where Photonics Meets Semiconductors,” APE 2026 will showcase leading technologies across optical communications, optics, semiconductors, lasers, infrared, sensing, and quantum technology. The event is expected to attract over 300 international exhibitors and 6,000 industry professionals, fostering a dynamic environment for discovery, collaboration, and business growth.
In APE’s Photonics Spotlight series, Dr. Luo Xianshu shares his insights on how silicon photonics and co-packaged optics (CPO) are addressing AI interconnect bottlenecks, the ecosystem challenges for photonics heterogeneous integration (PHI), and the roadmap for emerging applications such as LiDAR, biosensing, and quantum computing. He also discusses NSTIC (Advanced Photonics) role in accelerating innovation and his outlook for Asia Photonics Expo 2026 as a catalyst for industry research collaboration.
