Through the themed exhibition “Culturepreneurs” and five forums, the event will gather international investors, entertainment technology startups, film and media experts, and independent game development teams from eight countries—Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, France, the United States, and Malaysia—to delve into emerging trends such as AI, immersive XR experiences, cross-border IP commercialisation, and the next generation of the creator economy. Phygital Realities: When Fashion Enters the Virtual World From design to sampling to manufacturing, AI is becoming fashion's new ally. A fabric can now exist as a digital twin before it is ever woven. A garment can be tried on virtually before it is ever produced. An entire collection can be expedited through AI-generated design. Technology is not just altering how fashion is created — it's redefining how brands and consumers connect: you can "wear" that piece before you ever step foot in the store. When fashion intersects with AI, the entire industry experiences a structural transformation. How is digital technology emerging as a new medium for fashion content? Where is virtual fashion progressing? And how can start-ups navigate this wave?
