Technology can sometimes feel distant from everyday life, confined to laboratories, corporate offices or the screens of our devices. CP Innovation Exposition 2026 aims to change that by bringing emerging technologies, ideas and the people behind them together in a format that the general public can experience firsthand.
Set to take place from October 20–22 at True Digital Park, the ninth edition of CP Group’s flagship innovation event will be presented as a “Future Fest” under the theme “RISE TOGETHER INNOVATE BEYOND.” The event is expected to be one of Thailand’s largest innovation expositions, bringing together innovators from CP Group’s businesses around the world alongside more than 60 experts and speakers from Thailand and abroad. The event is open to the public without an admission fee.
Rather than simply displaying new technologies, the event is designed to show how innovation can be applied to problems people and businesses encounter in the real world. Visitors can explore more than 90 innovations developed by CP businesses in over 10 countries, while learning about the ideas, challenges and development processes behind them.
The experience is organized around eight “Beyond” perspectives, covering areas ranging from AI, robotics and space connectivity to biology, retail, logistics, sustainability, food and finance. Sessions involving companies such as Microsoft, AWS, Huawei, IBM, Alibaba Cloud, Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company will offer a broader view of how technology is reshaping different industries.
For Ms. Sarinra Wongsuppalak, Working Committee Chairperson of CP Innovation Exposition 2026, the purpose is to demonstrate that innovation is not limited to technology specialists. Through exhibitions, hands-on activities, workshops and opportunities to meet innovators, technical concepts will be presented in ways that connect with everyday life and help visitors see how they could be applied in practice.
One of the event’s highlights will be “Meet the Innovator,” where visitors can hear directly from the people behind selected projects. Mr. Sakchai Buamoon, Chairperson of the Expo’s Technical Committee, said the 90 innovations on display are intended to show how identifying a problem, understanding a need and applying technology can turn challenges into practical solutions.
The event will also feature HealthyLicious, a future-food innovation platform where researchers, startups and SMEs present ideas combining health, nutrition, taste and consumer appeal. Five finalists will compete in the final round on October 22, with opportunities for further collaboration and business development with CP Group.
With its combination of technology, creativity, expert perspectives and hands-on experiences, CP Innovation Exposition 2026 offers a chance for students, entrepreneurs, professionals and the general public to look beyond today’s technology and consider how it could shape the way people live, work, eat and do business in the future.
CP Innovation Exposition 2026 will be held from October 20–22, 2026, at True Digital Park, with free admission.
