This year, HTX is spotlighting the upcoming Milipol TechX Summit (MTX), which will take place in Singapore from 28 to 30 April at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore. Formerly known as Milipol Asia-Pacific – TechX Summit, the event has been rebranded as MTX – marking a new chapter in the platform’s evolution.

Born from a partnership between France’s Civipol and HTX, the refreshed identity was launched by Mr K Shanmugam, Coordinating Minister for National Security & Minister for Home Affairs, and France’s Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez at Milipol Paris. The rebranding reflects MTX’s aspiration to become a global nexus where technology, policy and operational expertise intersect to address today’s increasingly interconnected public safety challenges. The new brand encapsulates a mission to supercharge innovation for a safer tomorrow.
Visitors hit the MTX area at the Milipol Network Stand to sample Singapore-inspired treats such as kaya croissants and learn more about MTX 2026, which is expected to draw some 15,000 attendees and more than 3,000 senior delegates to an electrifying showcase.
In the same spirit of Milipol Paris, MTX 2026 will bring together government, industry, academia and frontline operations under one roof, offering opportunities to exchange ideas, explore solutions and forge partnerships that strengthen public safety across the region.

Going beyond the traditional trade show format, the event will boast an enhanced focus on artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, robotics and sciences, as well as thematic zones of Robotics, Developer, Cybersecurity and Science. Country Pavilions will offer targeted exposure to buyers and end-users of technologies.
Further energising the experience will be the inaugural DEF CON Singapore, colocated with MTX and set to draw a vibrant mix of cybersecurity professionals, technologists and ethical hackers.
We look forward to seeing you at MTX 2026.
