In this talk, Sam Fok, Co-Founder and CEO of femtoAI, shares how ultra-efficient AI inference is enabling intelligence to run directly on embedded and edge devices. Drawing from real-world experience at the intersection of silicon and software, he explains why efficiency—not scale alone—will define the next wave of AI, how co-design unlocks major gains in power and cost, and what it takes to move edge AI from research prototypes into scalable, deployable systems.

From mind-bending virtual worlds to AI-driven spatial computing, four incredible startups, Geopogo, Mused, Zeality, and N.Link, lit up the stage with live demos and bold visions for the future of VR, AR, and XR. These founders are reshaping how we live, see, and interact with the world around us—proving that the line between human and machine is getting blurrier… and more exciting.
