ABOUT AI FOR ASIA

AI for Asia is a regional program organized designed to empower young leaders across the region with the knowledge, skills, and networks needed to thrive in an AI-driven future.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, economies, and societies across the world. In Southeast Asia, these transformations present both opportunities and challenges: unlocking innovation and efficiency while disrupting traditional labor markets. The inaugural AI for Asia fellowship seeks to bridge the AI skills gap by equipping the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers with future-ready skills, entrepreneurial mindsets, and collaborative networks.

Over a 6-week intensive program, fellows will engage with world-class speakers, industry leaders, policy experts, and innovators. They will participate in knowledge-sharing sessions, case studies, group discussions, mentorship opportunities, and capstone projects that apply AI to real-world problems.
