DIGITIMES ASIA: Asia's moment in the AI age: APAC rises as infrastructure powerhouse at OCP, Taiwan forges global tech ties
TAIPEI, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As AI infrastructure continues to reshape global supply chains, the Open Compute Project (OCP) APAC Summit held in Taipei on August 5, 2025, highlighted the Asia-Pacific region's expanding role in the development and deployment of open hardware technologies. Speakers from the OCP Foundation and Taiwan's tech industry emphasized the region's growing contributions to AI data center infrastructure and its significance in future technology roadmaps. Cliff Grossner, Chief Innovation Officer at the OCP Foundation, opened the summit by calling APAC an 'extremely vibrant community,' noting that participation from the region's corporate members has reached record levels. 'Thirty percent of our corporate members now come from APAC,' he said, highlighting that the region accounts for nearly 40% of OCP-certified data center-ready facilities and 28% of its experience centers. APAC emerges as OCP's growth engine Grossner pointed out that Asia's engagement with OCP goes far beyond attendance or certification—it's increasingly a source of technical leadership. Over the past year, 20% of contributions to OCP projects included an APAC-based corporate member. APAC is also the dominant marketplace for future infrastructure spending: IDC projects that 36% of the over US$190 billion in OCP-related equipment spending will come from this region. Grossner credited this surge to the region's urgent push to deploy scalable AI data center solutions, a need being accelerated by government policy, hyperscaler investment, and hardware innovation. He also confirmed OCP's plans to return to Taipei in 2026. 'It's because of you that I can make that statement,' he told the audience. 'We'll be back next year.' While Grossner framed APAC as an emerging tech engine, DIGITIMES Chairman and CEO Colley Hwang provided the local blueprint. Taiwan anchors global tech manufacturing In a keynote titled 'AI Supply Chain Reinvent: Building a Better Eco-System,' Hwang argued that Taiwan is no longer merely supporting the global tech industry—it is quietly anchoring it. 'Taiwan has the best infrastructure in the world for the tech sector,' Hwang said, pointing to a vast web of factories, suppliers, and engineering talent that together form an ecosystem unparalleled in scale and integration. The data he presented reveals Taiwan's central role: Taiwan (China) is the origin of 26% of the US server imports and 40% of China's, even when final assembly occurs in countries like Mexico or Vietnam. TSMC now accounts for more than 90% of the world's AI chip production, placing Taiwan at the center of the AI compute stack. He also noted that Taiwan's economy is structurally distinct. While most advanced nations are demand-side driven, Taiwan's economy is 38% reliant on manufacturing, compared to just 10% in the United States. 'It's not about consumption—it's about capability,' he said. Hardware drives AI evolution Beyond hardware, Hwang highlighted Taiwan's design innovation strength, claiming that its design industry is ten times the scale of South Korea's, despite having less than half its population. Taiwan's top eight server manufacturers operate more than 120 production sites globally, reflecting a global manufacturing footprint built through decades of specialization. Hwang aimed popular Silicon Valley narratives, suggesting that while 'AI is eating software,' in practice, 'hardware will eat AI.' As AI workloads push the boundaries of memory, bandwidth, and heat, performance gains increasingly depend not on algorithms alone, but on foundry technologies, advanced packaging, and system integration. Taiwan's golden decade ahead Hwang also offered a broader perspective on the global semiconductor market, arguing that the true value of the ecosystem—when accounting for foundries, fabless players, equipment makers, and materials suppliers—already exceeds US$1 trillion, a milestone often underreported. Looking ahead, Hwang predicted that Taiwan is entering a 'golden age' lasting at least 10 years, driven by its manufacturing base, dense industrial clusters, and commitment to long-term reinvestment. He described Taiwan as a 'small potato' and a 'humble partner'—a role that emphasizes contribution over dominance. He urged global players, including OCP members, to 'come to Taiwan more often,' noting that firms like TSMC and Foxconn reinvest nearly 100% of their net profits into partnerships and infrastructure development. From APAC to the Global Stage Asia's impact on AI infrastructure is only just beginning. The conversation will continue at the upcoming OCP Global Summit, where global hyperscalers, open hardware pioneers, and policy leaders will shape the next phase of AI-driven innovation.

Infobip Positions AI as the New Standard for Customer Experience in Asia-Pacific
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Infobip, the global cloud communications platform, today launched its latest report – The AI Advantage: How Leading Brands Thrive in a 24 x 7 Customer World – providing fresh insights into how Asia-Pacific's hyper-digital consumers are reshaping expectations for always-on engagement, and how artificial intelligence is fast becoming the only way for brands to keep up. Across Asia-Pacific, mobile connectivity has moved beyond saturation. Mobile penetration now exceeds 100% in nearly every market, with Hong Kong SAR at 264%, Singapore at 150%, Taiwan region at 145%, Japan and South Korea each at 140%, Malaysia at 130%, and Mainland China at 110%. Even in emerging markets like Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and India, penetration sits at or above 110%. This hyper-connectivity is driving a new kind of customer behavior: consumers move fluidly between super-apps like LINE, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Zalo, Viber and WhatsApp, sometimes switching platforms mid-conversation, and expect brands to follow them across channels with instant, context-aware, and culturally relevant responses. But while customers never switch off, many businesses are still struggling to meet them where they are. The IDC-backed research underpinning the Infobip report reveals that 43% of Asia-Pacific businesses cite improving customer experience as their single biggest operational challenge, hampered by siloed data, disconnected channel strategies, and the cost of delivering round-the-clock support across dozens of markets, languages, and regulatory environments. To address these challenges, the report highlights the growing role of AI technologies, including generative AI, agentic AI, and conversational AI, in helping brands simplify operations and deliver connected, real-time experiences across every customer touchpoint. 'The conversation around AI for customer engagement across Asia-Pacific has fundamentally shifted from 'if' to 'how' — 'how deeply and how quickly'. The 'always-on' customer now has a baseline expectation of instant gratification, which traditional business models cannot simply scale to meet. Hence, the new competitive frontier is not just about having AI but about orchestrating advanced capabilities such as generative AI and agentic AI, to craft proactive customer journeys that build lasting customer relationships,' stated Nikhil Batra, Senior Research Director, IDC Asia-Pacific. Velid Begovic, VP Revenue, APAC at Infobip, said, 'Asia-Pacific isn't just mobile-first. It's mobile-saturated. People here live their lives across five or six different messaging apps, and they don't think twice about jumping between them. They expect brands to jump with them, and that creates a zero-wait mindset where they don't want to be queued, redirected, or asked to repeat themselves. Unfortunately, the reality is that businesses can't meet that standard with outdated systems. Even early AI efforts like basic chatbots with no access to customer history miss the mark in delivering the hyper-personalized service today's customers expect. AI has gone from an experiment to the engine room of customer experience.' IDC predicts that by 2028, consumers across the region are expected to spend US$32 billion via AI agents that run independently on their smartphones to programmatically shop for goods, services and consider purchases. Businesses are racing to respond, with companies projected to invest over US$30 billion in AI infrastructure and platforms by 2027 to deliver the kind of personalized, always-on service customers now take for granted. According to IDC, enterprise AI investment in customer service and marketing across Asia-Pacific is growing at a compound annual rate of 35% through 2029, reflecting the scale and urgency of transformation. By 2028, 40% of mid-tier B2C brands in the region will be using autonomous AI agents to offer 'white glove' levels of service once reserved for luxury customers. 'What we're seeing now is a step change. AI is more than just an FAQ-answering tool. It's an agentic AI coordinating a product exchange across messaging channels without a single manual handoff. It's a generative AI composing a message that feels like it was written for one person, in their language, with their cultural nuance. Our job at Infobip is to take those possibilities and make them real for brands, giving them the infrastructure and local expertise to turn 24/7 engagement from a buzzword into a business advantage,' Begovic added. Infobip is at the center of this transformation, powering businesses with its Conversational Experience Orchestration Platform (CXOP) – a solution that places agentic AI at the heart of every customer interaction. CXOP unifies messaging, automation, and AI-powered assistance within a single, intelligent platform that adapts to behavior, sentiment, and intent in real time. This solution sets a new standard, one where brands and users engage in intelligent, meaningful, and outcome-driven conversations.
