Set in a dynamic blend of digital technology, creativity, and hands-on learning, the three-day event runs from 20 – 22 October 2026 at True Digital Park. Under the theme “RISE TOGETHER INNOVATE BEYOND”, the event creates a space for people from different fields and backgrounds to connect. Entrepreneurs can discover ideas and technologies to build on their businesses; professionals can explore new tools and ways of working; students can meet developers and see new career possibilities; and the wider public can experience innovations relevant to everyday life, from food and health to lifestyle. By welcoming ideas from both within and outside CP Group, the event aims to turn every encounter into a starting point for learning, collaboration, and further development.

Discover innovation in a way that is fun, engaging, and closer to everyday life.

Meet gurus and experts from leading global organizations including AWS, Microsoft, Huawei, Tencent, Thoughtworks, Unitree, and GalaxySpace, who will share perspectives, ideas, and new opportunities emerging from future technologies. Through “Ask the Expert”, visitors will also have the opportunity to ask experts from diverse fields directly. Across all three days, visitors can take part in hands-on activities and workshops, experiment with new technologies, discover fresh ideas, enjoy fun experiences and great food, and explore HealthyLicious, a platform for discovering food innovations with the potential to grow into future business opportunities.

Sigve Brekke, Group Chief Executive Officer of True Corporation Plc., as Chairman of CP Innovation Exposition 2026, said, “Technology today goes beyond responding to existing customer demand. It is evolving rapidly, changing what is possible, and creating new opportunities that customers themselves may not yet have imagined. The faster technology changes, the faster organizations and people must learn, experiment, collaborate and turn those possibilities into real value. This is what we want to create at CP Innovation Exposition 2026. We believe everyone can be an innovator, so we are creating a space where people can experience technology firsthand, ask experts questions, learn directly from innovators, exchange ideas with others, and discover how these technologies can be applied to their lives, work, or businesses. By bringing together knowledge and innovations from CP Group around the world with partners from across countries, we aim to create new possibilities through collaboration and turn innovation into tangible value for businesses, people, and Thailand.”

Global Perspectives and Direct Dialogue through ‘Ask the Expert’

One of the event’s key highlights is a platform bringing together perspectives and experience from global business leaders and experts, alongside startup founders, SME entrepreneurs, creators from gaming and entertainment, influencers, and business advisers. It creates a space where knowledge and experience from diverse fields can meet, with contributors from leading organizations including AWS, Microsoft, Huawei, Tencent, Thoughtworks, Unitree and GalaxySpace. Across the three days, visitors can explore technologies reshaping the world and how they can be applied to life and business from AI, robotics, quantum, and space to content creation, gaming and entertainment, startup and SME growth, and the future of retail, food and health, energy, and financial services. Participation deepens through “Ask the Expert” segments in selected sessions, giving visitors the opportunity to ask experts directly about topics that matter to them.

Experience Future Fest: Where Technology, Creativity, and People Come Together

CP Innovation Exposition 2026 brings a fresh festival feel to the innovation exposition, blending the digital world with creativity and connecting showcases, idea stages, and activities across all three days.

Meet the Innovator: Meet the Creators Behind Innovations from CP Group Worldwide and Partners

The event will showcase selected innovations from more than 20 countries and economies where CP Group operates, together with innovations from partners. Through “Meet the Innovator”, visitors can speak directly with developers and explore the journey from the challenge being addressed and experimentation to development and real-world deployment uncovering ideas that may inspire their own work or business.
