[ANNOUNCEMENT] Cohort 12 Demo Day: 8 Startups, 2 Continents, One Stage
Demo Day is the most important milestone in the Accelerating Asia flagship accelerator program.
It represents the moment where months of execution, iteration, and learning come together — and where founders step onto the stage to share not just ideas, but real progress.
For Cohort 12, Demo Day will take place in two formats:
In-person in Singapore on January 15, 2026
Virtually via Zoom on January 22, 2026
Across both events, eight startups from South and Southeast Asia will present their journeys, traction, and ambitions to a global investor audience.
