In 2026, discussions about AI Agents are abundant, but what's truly lacking are concrete cases of them running effectively within enterprises. Asia AI Frontiers is a recurring forum series hosted by SparkLabs Taiwan, exploring how the Asian AI ecosystem can transform regional advantages into global competitiveness. In the past, we've invited Naver Group headquarters (LINE) and its venture capital arm to share their insights in Taiwan. This time, in collaboration with the Taipei Exchange (TPEx), we are focusing on a question relevant to both enterprises and startups: How exactly do AI Agents transition from PoC (Proof of Concept) to production-grade enterprise deployment? We have invited enterprises and investors from Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan to dissect the key success factors and pitfalls encountered during the implementation process using real-world cases. Through a fireside chat, AI startups, implementing enterprises, and investors who are at the forefront of AI deployment will engage in direct exchange. This event is suitable for: - AI/Agentic AI Startups: Those who want to understand how enterprises and investors evaluate and implement agents, and to connect with potential customers, partners, and investors on-site. - Enterprise and Digital Transformation Leaders: Those who want to see practical implementation cases in manufacturing, finance, and other sectors, and to grasp the keys to scaling from pilot to production. - Investors and Corporate VCs: Those who want early access to the most cutting-edge AI Agent startups in Asia.
