AETHER 2027: Distributed Intelligence

26–27 January 2027 · Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

Looking Back at AETHER 2026

Themes

From the Network Edge
to the Policy Table.

Eight themes, one lens: measurable business outcomes in revenue, cost, capital efficiency and returns.

All Themes

Distributed Intelligence
The network becomes the delivery layer: AI-RAN, the AI grid and the edge.
AI Factories & Power
Asia’s gigawatt build-out, and the power, land and time it needs.
Compute Capital
Financing the machine: GPU-backed debt, backstops and the banks.
The Token Economy
Inference is the business model: who captures the margin per token.
Frontier, Sovereign & Physical AI
Asia’s parallel model economy, from open weights to robots.
Media, Streaming & Commerce
Studio 3.0: AI-native creation, streaming, advertising and commerce.
Investing in Intelligence
Where capital goes next: concentration, sovereign wealth and returns.
Policy, Sovereignty & Society
The rules of distributed intelligence, and AI as a public good.
