The inauguration of the event is set to be held in Thailand from July 5 to 6 and in Philippines on October 25 to 26 will bring together, local and international businesses to create a platform, for businesses to explore opportunities, in the AI industry of Asia’s emerging markets.

Two of the editions will be presided over by Singapore Industrial and Automation Association and organised by LOD Events.

“We have chosen to organise AI Asia Expo to be in the epic centre of the digital transformation in ASEAN. We have chosen Thailand and Philippines because of the size of their population, the increasing funding for digital transformation and the initiatives that their government is driving,” remarked Mr. Alex Lin, director of LOD Events.

Thailand according to Mr Terence Teo,  president of SIAA has seen tremendous growth in its technology sector in recent years. Thailand’s objectives for the tech sector are based around its initiatives such as SMART Thailand, Thailand 4.0 model and the Eastern Economic Corridor. The initiatives are looking to propel Thailand into a regional hub status, moving aggressively towards positioning AI applications to drive sustainable business growth.

Meanwhile, in Philippines the government is driving digitisation and infrastructure development through the implementation of their AI Roadmap. Key sectors of focus include smart manufacturing, healthcare services, smart agriculture, autonomous vehicles, RPA and BPO – these are the key areas that would see immense opportunities in the application of AI. The Philippines market with the push from its government is an upcoming AI market in Asia.

The expo will feature: hybrid showcases for the exhibition; networking and collaboration zones for businesses to meet and explore opportunities together; conferences for thought leadership sharing; and AI Asia start-up competition that would gather the best ideas in artificial intelligence.
