At BEYOND EXPO 2025, a Conversation on Tech Innovation | Linear News

Recently, BEYOND Expo 2025, Asia's largest tech innovation and ecosystem expo, was held in Macao, China. The event brought together over 800 global frontier companies and 25,000+ attendees from around the world.

This year, Harry Wang, founder and CEO of Linear Capital, along with several portfolio companies, also came to BEYOND to explore the possibilities of tech innovation with partners across industries.

From May 21 to 24, 2025, the BEYOND International Technology Innovation Expo was grandly held in Macao, China, under the theme "Empowering Asia, Connecting the World."

As Asia's largest tech innovation and ecosystem expo, this year's BEYOND Expo attracted leading figures from global tech companies, investment institutions, government, and academia. Over 800 global frontier companies and 25,000+ attendees gathered to showcase cutting-edge technology and innovation.

The expo featured innovations across core tech sectors including artificial intelligence, large models, AR/VR/XR, robotics, smart mobility, and sports tech. On site were overseas companies looking to expand into the Chinese market as well as Chinese innovators accelerating their global footprint — together building an international tech ecosystem of "two-way connection and mutual integration."

As an early-stage investment firm focused on frontier tech applications, Linear Capital and several portfolio companies came to BEYOND this year to explore the possibilities of tech innovation with partners across industries.

On the 23rd, Harry Wang, founder and CEO of Linear Capital, was invited as a speaker to two summit forums.

At the Global Investment Summit, Harry joined Wan Haoji, partner at Matrix Partners China, and Kwon Ho HYOUNG, CEO of South Korea's FuturePlay, to share their investment experience in deep tech innovation projects with the audience.

At the AI Summit, Harry and Qiao Yuting, general manager of OPPO's Xingxun Investment, discussed the current state and trends of AI investment from seed stage to scale.

During the event, Harry also gave special interviews to media including Bloomberg and Caixin Global. Harry noted that since its founding, Linear has adhered to the core belief of "Frontier Tech, Frontier Productivity, Frontier Lifestyle." While blindly predicting technology ten years out may be too far a stretch, Linear aims to continuously invest in technology-driven projects that could deliver massive efficiency gains in the next five to ten years.

At this year's BEYOND Expo, multiple Linear portfolio companies were featured, including Rokid, Tezign, WellSens, Lightin, Boolv, and Style3D.

The BEYOND Awards established two prestigious categories to recognize breakthrough innovations in technology. Over the past five years, more than 200 industry-leading companies have been selected from over 1,500 nominated projects. In 2025, with even more rigorous standards, BEYOND Expo selected 25 outstanding companies from over 300 nominations for the Innovation and Impact Awards, granting them the BEYOND BEST CHOICE Awards.
