Over two action-packed days on 27–28 August, the event brought together thousands of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and industry disruptors from across the region, solidifying its position as Asia’s leading platform for business growth and innovation.

This year’s edition welcomed 8,135 visitors, 250 exhibitors, and 150 renowned speakers spanning industries from finance and technology to marketing, e-commerce, and more.

2025’s Highlights

Bustling Speed Networking: One of the most talked-about features of the show was the high-energy speed networking sessions. Hundreds of participants took part in structured, fast-paced meetings designed to spark meaningful connections. The sessions created an electric atmosphere, enabling entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders to meet face-to-face, exchange ideas, and explore collaboration opportunities in just minutes. Many attendees cited this feature as a standout element that maximized their event experience.

At Keynote Theatre 2, Melanie Sharpe Nseir, Microsoft’s Head of Partner Solution Sales for Asia, delivered a powerful session titled “Empathy. AI. Scale. Welcome to the Frontier Firm.” Using Microsoft’s internal adoption of the Frontier Firm model, she illustrated how AI-driven scale works best when underpinned by empathetic leadership and culture. Attendees were visibly engrossed and her balance of data, real-world storytelling, and actionable leadership insights sparked lively conversations long after the talk ended.

At Keynote Theatre 1, Tatiana Sheremetieva, Luxury Influencer and award-winning serial entrepreneur, delivered a compelling address on how to start and scale a business in Singapore. With over two decades of international experience and more than ten years of proven success in Singapore, she offered a rare blend of strategic know-how and entrepreneurial resilience. The audience was completely absorbed, nodding along in agreement, taking notes, and later sharing that her presentation was both eye-opening and deeply human, offering not just tactics, but tangible mindset shifts that they could immediately apply to their business journeys.

Two of the most sought-after sessions at the show were the interactive masterclasses led by HubSpot and Odoo, which drew jam-packed theatres and eager attendees from start to finish. These intimate, hands-on experiences delivered valuable mentoring and real-world strategies, clearly striking a chord with business leaders aiming to sharpen their capabilities in growth, CRM, and digital transformation.

Testimonials

Clifford Tan, Exhibitor - Harvest Point Consulting 

“I have to admit, this was my very first time at The Business Show Asia but the two full days were intense but eye-opening.

What struck me most was how grounded the show felt. It wasn’t the usual hype about AI or futuristic tech. The booths leaned into what businesses actually need - practical services, smarter tools, financial options, and growth partnerships. It was less about flash, more about real help.

The audience reflected that too. SMEs came looking for ways to cut waste and simplify processes. Startups were chasing partnerships and credibility. Founders were searching for clarity on how to grow without burning out. And tech firms were exploring how to collaborate and integrate into the wider SME landscape.”
