Sangfor Technologies, a global leader in AI-enabled cloud computing and cybersecurity, announced the successful conclusion of the Sangfor International Executive Forum 2026, a global roadshow spanning 16 cities across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe from May to August 2026.

About Sangfor Executive Forum

The Sangfor Executive Forum 2026 brings together CIOs, IT directors, and security leaders across 16 forums worldwide to explore how organizations can thrive in an AI-accelerated era.

This year's theme, “Run · Build · Protect: AI-Enabled Future," reflects how AI can help keep infrastructure reliable, prepare businesses for what's next, and protect operations end-to-end.

The forum centers on three pillars: Run, keeping systems stable and disruption-free; Build, creating a future-ready foundation for cloud and AI workloads without overspending; and Protect, using AI-driven security to detect and respond to threats faster across the environment.

The forums also highlighted Sangfor's accelerating momentum in two of its fastest-growing regions, Europe and the Middle East, alongside continued strength across its established Asia-Pacific markets.

Momentum Builds in Europe and the Middle East

Sangfor is an established player in the APAC markets and growing rapidly across Europe and the Middle East. There were total 6 forums organized focusing only Europe and the Middle East, covering:

Italy, Germany and Spain – at Milano, Italy

UAE, Oman and Africa – at Shenzhen, China

Saudi Arabia – at Jeddah and Riyadh

Türkiye - Istanbul and Ankara

And together accounted for six of the forum's stops across four countries: Italy, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and China. (Sangfor’ s Shenzhen headquarters hosted the dedicated Middle East regional session.)

In Europe, more than 150 customers and partners from Italy, Germany, Spain, and Poland gathered in Milan on 9 June for the forum's flagship regional session, held with Veeam, Cohesity, and the Cloud Security Alliance.

"Europe is a strategic market for Sangfor. We're building a genuinely localized organization here to support long-term growth." Jeffrey Zhang, Sangfor's Regional Manager for Europe.

In the Middle East and Türkiye, Sangfor hosted sessions in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as well as in Istanbul and Ankara. The regional program then concluded with a dedicated Middle East forum at Sangfor's global headquarters in Shenzhen, opened by Co-Founder Wu Xiong and co-sponsored by Veeam and Cohesity. Together, these sessions underscore the growing weight of Europe and the Middle East in Sangfor's global strategy.

Together, these sessions mark a new stage of growth for Sangfor across Europe and the Middle East.

The forum also drew strong turnout across Asia, including more than 400 attendees each in Bangkok and Hong Kong, reflecting the depth of Sangfor's customer and partner base worldwide.

The forum's global reach was supported by a broad ecosystem of technology and channel partners. Veeam and Cohesity appeared as vendor sponsors at nearly every stop, presenting on data protection, backup, and enterprise resilience alongside Sangfor's own AI Storage and HCI portfolio.

Beyond these core technology partners, each stop was further supported by a network of local distributors and market-specific sponsors, reflecting Sangfor's local-first approach to delivering AI-enabled infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions worldwide, like Red Hat and HYGON (platform and compute technology, Hong Kong), and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).
