New features for 2023

We believe startups have a vital role to play in reimagining the future of air travel, which is why we are passionate about discovering the best of the best and providing a platform for them to spread the word about their pioneering products and services. Working in collaboration with the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub, FTE APEX Asia Expo will once again include a dedicated Startup Zone, providing a platform to many of the most exciting startups and scaleups from across the region and beyond whose solutions can help improve customer experience and business performance for airlines, airports and their partners.
