International Telecoms Week Asia 2026

About ITW Asia 2026

International Telecoms Week Asia (ITW Asia) is the region's dedicated connectivity and digital infrastructure event, organised by techoraco Limited — the company behind the ITW brand and Capacity Media. Building on the global ITW franchise, ITW Asia brings the same carrier-focused, bilateral meeting format to the Asia-Pacific market, recognising the region's growing importance to global connectivity infrastructure, wholesale voice, and digital services.

Held at the Shangri-La Singapore — one of Southeast Asia's most renowned conference venues — ITW Asia 2026 provides a concentrated setting for carriers, operators, submarine cable companies, cloud providers, and digital infrastructure investors to meet, negotiate, and collaborate. Singapore's status as a global connectivity hub and financial centre makes it a natural gathering point for the Asia-Pacific telecom industry.

The event covers the full spectrum of connectivity: from international wholesale voice and SMS to submarine cable systems, data centres, cloud infrastructure, and the policy environment shaping Asia-Pacific's digital economy. With a pre-event day on 1 December and the main conference on 2–3 December, the programme combines structured sessions with bilateral networking.

Why This Event Matters

Asia-Pacific represents the world's largest telecommunications market by subscriber volume, and one of its most complex in terms of infrastructure, regulatory diversity, and commercial opportunity. The region spans submarine cable-dependent island nations, densely connected urban markets like Singapore, Japan, and South Korea, and high-growth emerging markets across Southeast Asia and South Asia.

For wholesale voice operators, the Asia-Pacific corridor is one of the most active for international termination — driven by large diaspora populations, significant business-to-business call volumes, and growing enterprise demand across the region. For connectivity and infrastructure providers, the expansion of submarine cable capacity, data centre investment, and cloud adoption across the region presents substantial commercial opportunity.

ITW Asia sits at the intersection of all these trends. It is the event where wholesale carriers, submarine cable operators, data centre developers, and cloud providers meet the operators and enterprises that need their services. The bilateral meeting format ensures that commercial discussions — on voice routes, interconnect, infrastructure, and partnerships — can be advanced efficiently in a single location.
