Acer recently hosted its inaugural Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2025. The two-day event, which took place from May 7 to 8, 2025, at the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel in Thailand, centered around the theme “Shaping Tomorrow: AI and Digital Technologies in Education.”
Global Collaboration for Educational Innovation
The summit successfully convened delegates from eleven countries across the Asia Pacific region, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Taiwan. This assembly of participants created an optimal environment for cross-cultural exchange and collaborative innovation in the educational technology sector.
The main focus of the summit was to explore and enhance understanding of how artificial intelligence and digital technologies are revolutionizing educational methodologies and experiences. Digital transformation continues to accelerate across various sectors, and the education industry stands at the forefront of this evolution, with AI capabilities offering unprecedented opportunities for personalized and effective learning.
Bridging Technology and Education
The event served as a platform where educators, policymakers, and technology experts could converge to share practical insights on several key areas of educational technology. Discussions focused on strategies for integrating cutting-edge technology within classroom environments, methods for promoting digital literacy among students and educators alike, and comprehensive approaches to preparing students for future careers in an increasingly technology-driven global economy.
A significant component of the summit was the demonstration of Acer’s ecosystem of AI-powered devices and dedicated educational solutions. These have been specifically designed to support modern teaching methodologies, streamline administrative processes, and significantly enhance student engagement and participation.
“Digitalization has demonstrated its capabilities to complement, enrich, and transform education, and Acer created this summit as a catalyst for innovation.”
