Best Practices for Advancing Cloud and AI Transformation in APEC

We hope you will join the Coalition of Services Industries (CSI) and Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) for a discussion on advancing cloud and AI transformation in APEC.

Cloud services enable innovation, enhance competitiveness, and facilitate the deployment of emerging technologies. Cloud is the operational foundation for artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, supporting cross-border data flows and access to secure, reliable computing power. Making cloud adoption increasingly essential for digital transformation, economic growth, and public service modernization in APEC economies.

This event will explore the progress made by APEC since the Recommendations for Cloud Transformation in APEC were endorsed in 2023, and recent thought leadership from APSI on Establishing a Positive Regulatory Environment for Cloud Security in APEC, Accelerating Public Sector Cloud Adoption, and Cloud Infrastructure is the Missing Link in Regional AI Ambitions. Also to be discussed is the soon to be released "Best Practices for Trusted Cloud Adoption & Inteperability in APEC Economies." A draft will be shared with registered attendees prior to the event.
