Acer Inc. successfully wrapped up the Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2026, reinforcing its commitment to transforming education across the region as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to redefine how learning is delivered and experienced.
Carrying the theme “Future-Ready Learning: AI, Innovation, and Human-Centered Education,” the summit gathered key education stakeholders to champion inclusive AI adoption and accelerate meaningful, system-wide transformation.
Held in Jakarta from April 22 to 23, the second edition of the summit built on its 2025 debut by convening delegations from across Asia Pacific—including Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The gathering underscored Indonesia’s growing role within Acer’s regional digital education ecosystem while fostering cross-border collaboration among educators, policymakers, and industry leaders.
Andrew Hou, President of Pan Asia Pacific Operations at Acer, emphasized the company’s long-term vision: advancing education through technology while ensuring innovation remains grounded in human needs. The summit, he noted, is part of Acer’s broader effort to empower institutions and governments to build inclusive, future-ready learning environments.
Driving Collaboration for Smarter Education
Over two days, the summit served as a dynamic platform for dialogue, featuring keynote presentations, panel discussions, and collaborative forums focused on the integration of AI in education. Core themes included personalized learning, digital literacy advancement, and the evolving role of educators in an increasingly tech-driven landscape.
At the heart of the discussions was a clear message: the future of education lies in balancing technological innovation with human-centered design—creating systems that are adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable.
Global Insights and Breakthrough Innovations
Among the highlights was the participation of the MIT Media Lab, which introduced its Learning Foundry for AI and Robotics (FAIR). Experts demonstrated how AI-powered platforms can deliver scalable, personalized learning experiences while equipping students to tackle real-world challenges.
Academic and industry leaders further enriched the conversation. Jun-Yu Fan of Chang Gung University of Science and Technology presented a forward-looking approach to education through AI-enhanced clinical training, while Charles Le of Altos Computing emphasized the importance of building robust infrastructure to support AI adoption in schools.
Altos Computing also showcased its advanced AI ecosystem—from high-performance servers like the BrainSphere™ R680 F7 to AI workstations and deployment platforms—highlighting how institutions can seamlessly transition from infrastructure setup to real-world AI implementation.
Technology Built for the Modern Classroom
Complementing these innovations, Acer introduced its latest Copilot+ PCs, powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors. Devices such as the TravelMate P4 Spin 14 AI and TravelMate P2 AI series are designed to support modern learning environments with portability, performance, and interactivity.
From touchscreen-enabled collaboration to all-day battery life, these tools aim to empower both educators and students in increasingly flexible and hybrid learning setups.
Shaping the Future of Learning
The Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2026 stands as a testament to Acer’s ongoing mission to bridge education, technology, and policy. By fostering collaboration and championing human-centered innovation, the initiative continues to push forward a vision of education that is not only future-ready—but also inclusive, adaptive, and deeply impactful.
As AI reshapes the global learning landscape, Acer positions itself at the forefront—helping institutions turn technological potential into meaningful educational outcomes.
