Redington Limited, a technology ecosystem orchestrator, recently announced Global NEXT 2026, its flagship, invitation-only leadership summit, taking place from 2–4 September 2026 in Singapore.
The three-day forum will bring together approximately 400 leaders representing global technology companies, channel partners, enterprise customers, independent software vendors, innovators and policymakers from across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
More than a technology conference, Global NEXT is designed as a working ecosystem-connecting the organisations creating breakthrough technologies with the partners who can localise and implement them, the enterprises seeking measurable outcomes, and the leaders shaping the future of high-growth markets.
The summit comes at a pivotal moment for artificial intelligence. Enterprises, SMBs and Public Sector are moving beyond experimentation and asking a more consequential question: how can AI be deployed securely, governed responsibly and scaled to deliver meaningful business, economic and societal impact?
At the centre of the programme will be the Global NEXT AI Summit, addressing sovereign AI, national technology infrastructure, data governance, cybersecurity, enterprise adoption and the partnerships required to build locally relevant technology capabilities at scale.
From Fragmented Innovation to Orchestrated Outcomes
The next phase of AI adoption will require much more than access to individual technologies. Infrastructure, cloud, data, cybersecurity, applications, skills, services, financing and implementation capabilities must work together around clearly defined outcomes.
Redington’s role as a Technology Ecosystem Orchestrator is to make those connections work-linking global innovation with local market intelligence, specialised capabilities, partner reach and execution across more than 40 markets.
V.S. Hariharan, Managing Director and Group CEO, Redington Limited, said: “The next chapter of technology will not be shaped by one product, one platform or one company. It will be built by ecosystems. Customers need infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, software, data, skills and specialised partners to come together around the outcomes they want to achieve. Redington’s role is to orchestrate these capabilities-reducing complexity, connecting global innovation with local execution and creating a clearer path from possibility to adoption. This is especially important across high-growth markets, where ambition is immense but access to technology, capabilities and skills can remain fragmented. Global NEXT brings the ecosystem together to turn that ambition into secure, scalable and measurable progress”.
Participants will experience this orchestration model through technology demonstrations, enterprise use cases, leadership exchanges and visits to centres of excellence in Singapore, including the Redington AI Launchpad.
The programme will also showcase emerging technology companies and specialist ISVs across AI, cloud, cybersecurity, data infrastructure and enterprise applications. Redington’s wider ecosystem-including its AI Exchange, digital platforms, skilling capabilities and partner enablement programmes-will demonstrate how innovation can be discovered, evaluated, localised and taken to market more rapidly.
Creating New Pathways to Growth
For global technology companies, Global NEXT provides direct access to enterprise priorities, partner capability and growth opportunities across diverse markets.
For partners and ISVs, it creates pathways to new technologies, skills, use cases, customers and routes to market.
For enterprises and governments, it brings together an ecosystem through which complex technologies can be evaluated, secured, financed, implemented and scaled.
Puneet Chadha, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Redington Limited, said: “Global NEXT is where global innovation meets local ambition. It puts the people shaping technology, building capability and solving real-world problems in the same room. The measure of this platform will not simply be the conversations it hosts, but the partnerships it starts, the use cases it advances and the opportunities it unlocks. We want participants to leave Singapore with more than inspiration-with new connections, actionable possibilities and a clearer path to what comes next”.
The Global NEXT programme will combine strategic conversations with practical engagement, including technology demonstrations, enterprise success stories, ecosystem panels, leadership exchanges and visits to technology centres of excellence.
Discussions will span artificial intelligence, hybrid cloud, cybersecurity, software-led business models, responsible technology adoption and the evolution of routes to market. Together, these sessions will explore how the technology industry can move from selling individual solutions to orchestrating integrated outcomes.
With operations across more than 40 markets, relationships with 450+ technology brands and a network of over 70,000 channel partners, Redington sits at the intersection of global technology innovation and local execution.
Through Global NEXT 2026, Redington aims to strengthen that intersection-creating a platform where technology providers, partners, innovators, enterprises and policymakers can collectively shape the next phase of technology adoption across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
