Acer held its first-ever Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific on May 7 to 8, 2025, at the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel in Thailand. The event, themed “Shaping Tomorrow: AI and Digital Technologies in Education,” brought together educators, government officials, and tech leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region.
Why it matters: The summit highlighted how AI and digital tools are changing the way students learn and teachers work. It also showed how these technologies can help prepare schools for a tech-driven future.
Participants came from the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Taiwan. The two-day gathering featured talks and exhibits on how schools can better use digital technologies and AI to improve classroom learning, support teachers, and manage school systems more efficiently.
Acer used the event to showcase its digital education ecosystem, including AI-powered devices and EdTech solutions designed to boost student engagement and simplify school operations.
Andrew Hou, President of Acer Pan Asia Pacific, said: “Digitalization has shown it can improve and transform education. We created this summit to help drive more innovation in the space.”
Several technology partners joined the event. Intel, Windows, and Google featured interactive booths, while Aopen, SpatialLabs, and Predator Gaming demonstrated how esports and immersive tech could be used in education.
Altos, a subsidiary of Acer, also launched new AI server platforms during the event:
- Altos BrainSphere R680 F7: Supports up to eight NVIDIA RTX 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, made for compute-heavy and AI workloads.
- Altos BrainSphere R880 F7: Uses the new NVIDIA B200 Blackwell Ultra GPU. This system is built for large-scale AI training and is designed to be energy efficient.
Altos said these systems are meant to meet growing demand for generative AI and large language model (LLM) training in schools, businesses, and research.
The summit closed with a message from Hou: “The Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2025 shows our goal of giving teachers and students the right tools for today and for the future.”
