Next Stop, Shanghai: SPREEAI Named a Global Winner of WAIC Future Tech 2026

Next stop: Shanghai.

WAIC Future Tech named SPREEAI one of its global winners of the WAIC Future Tech 2026 pitching competition, one of a handful of AI companies invited to represent the future of applied AI at the largest AI conference in the world.

The World Artificial Intelligence Conference takes place in July 2026 at the WAIC Innovation Zone in Shanghai, reaching more than 300,000 attendees in person and over two billion online.

We did not build SPREEAI to be another AI-for-fashion demo. We built it for the way people actually shop, with photorealistic try-on, real fit, real sizing, and real personalization. That is the work that earned the seat.

A special thank you to StartupX for hosting the pitch competition. Shanghai, we will see you there.

Being named a winner of WAIC Future Tech is more than a milestone. WAIC, the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, is one of the most influential gatherings in the global AI community, and its Future Tech track spotlights the startups most likely to shape the next wave of applied AI. For SPREEAI, earning that recognition alongside a select group of companies validates a simple belief: AI should make online shopping feel effortless, accurate, and genuinely personal.

Above all, the Shanghai stage gives us a chance to show what photorealistic virtual try-on looks like at scale. Moreover, it connects us with researchers, investors, and partners who share our vision for the future of commerce. To learn more about the technology behind this recognition, explore our product experience. We are honored, and we are just getting started.
