NEW for 2021
Here at Future Travel Experience we believe startups have an important 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 close collaboration with the FTE Innovation & Startup Hub we have launched a Startup Competition & Showcase for FTE APEX Asia Expo+ 2021. Eight Asia-based startups will be selected to exhibit in the Startup Showcase and one will be crowned “Asia’s Best New Air Transport Startup” at the show. The competition is designed to help discover new startups whose solutions can help improve end-to-end customer experiences and business performance for air transport industry stakeholders, especially airlines and airports.
The competition is open to any startup that is a member of the FTE Innovation & Startup Hub, Series A or earlier, headquartered in Asia, and founded within the last five years.
Please note, the FTE Innovation & Startup Hub is free to join for startups. Any startup that enters the competition but is not already a member of the FTE Innovation & Startup Hub will have a free profile created on their behalf.
Eight startups will be selected to exhibit in the Startup Showcase at FTE APEX Asia Expo+ 2021, Asia’s biggest free to attend passenger experience and business performance expo. This includes free entrance into the show, an opportunity to pitch to attendees, and an exhibition booth in the Startup Showcase. One startup will be crowned the overall winner during the show. Full event details can be found here: www.futuretravelexperience.com/fteasia/
Any startup that enters the competition and meets the entry requirements but is not selected as one of the eight finalists will be entitled to a discounted exhibition package or discounted Premium Delegate Pass.
The eight startup finalists will be selected by a panel of judges from the FTE Advisory Board and the Future Travel Experience team. The judges will be looking for startups based in Asia that have the potential to significantly improve end-to-end passenger experiences and business performance for air transport industry stakeholders (such as airlines and airports).
The overall winner will be chosen by an attendees’ vote at FTE APEX Asia Expo+ 2021, and the winner will be announced at the FTE APEX Asia Expo+ ceremony on Tuesday 10 November.

Delegate and exhibitor testimonials
“There is so much taking place in the Premium Conference and on the Expo Stage that I wish I could be in two places at once. In the exhibition, it’s great to see the improvements in technology and what’s new in the market. It’s also an opportunity to meet with my customers, clients and suppliers here in one location in Singapore. The attendees are right in the markets that we are interested in. I look forward to coming back next year.”
“The event is very good and very beneficial to airlines. The conference speakers have been real experts sharing their insights. Meanwhile, in the exhibition there are many IT and service infrastructure providers, so it’s very beneficial for new ideas.”
“It has been amazing. Connectivity and personalisation are two of our key objectives for 2023 and we’re seeing so much of it here at the expo, which has been so great for us. We’re really grateful that we had the privilege to come here. We’ve already decided to attend next year.”
“FTE APEX Asia Expo has been fantastic – it has been incredibly stimulating, with lots of great ideas, interesting people and fantastic talks, so there’s really a lot to take home and think about. The exhibition has had some fantastic suppliers and a lot of companies I didn’t know before. I’m already looking forward to coming back next year.”
“In 2023, this is one of the best shows we have attended. We have had a very busy stand with a lot of high-quality leads, so it has been an absolutely wonderful experience for us. For 2024, this event for the Asia Pacific region will absolutely be a must.”
“Our experience has been great. What we’ve enjoyed is meeting professionals across the aviation industry, having very deep conversations and learning from them, as well as sharing our own journey. It has been a very diverse range of people we have met in terms of networking, so it has been a very enriching experience. I would love to keep coming to this event.”
“FTE APEX Asia Expo has been a great networking event. We’ve had a steady stream of visitors, some very good meetings and made some good new connections. The social and networking events have been very strong. There’s been a good quality of visitor here and we’ve had the opportunity to meet people we otherwise wouldn’t have. We will definitely be coming back again next year – it’s an important event for us.”
“We have been able to showcase many new technologies to airlines and airports, so they can visualise how they are going to help them through transformation and digitalisation. The quality of visitors has been great. There has been a lot of regional, Asia Pacific customers coming through. This is one of the main events for us in Asia Pacific.”
