At the recently concluded Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2025 held in Bangkok last May 7-8, Acer brought together delegates from the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Taiwan. With the theme Shaping Tomorrow: AI and Digital Technologies in Education, the inaugural Edu Summit Asia Pacific fostered a deeper understanding of the role of AI and digitalization in education.

The summit served as a platform for educators, policymakers, and tech luminaries to share practical insights on integrating cutting-edge technology in classrooms, promoting digital literacy, and preparing students for a tech-powered future. It also highlighted how Acer’s ecosystem of AI-powered devices, digital education solutions, and EdTech innovations can support teaching methodologies, streamline administrative tasks, and enhance student engagement.

“Digitalization has demonstrated its capabilities to complement, enrich, and transform education, and Acer created this summit as a catalyst for innovation,” Acer Pan Asia Pacific President Andrew Hou said.

Key event highlights included interactive booths from Intel, Windows, and Google, while Aopen, SpatialLabs, and Predator Gaming showcased how esports can be utilized in an educational setting. Altos also unveiled its latest advancements in AI server technology, showcasing powerful systems created to meet the increasing demands of generative AI and large-scale model training.

The spotlight fell on two high-performance platforms: the Altos BrainSphere R680 F7 is a versatile system that supports up to eight NVIDIA RTX 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs for compute-intensive, graphics-rich, and AI-driven workloads while the Altos BrainSphere R880 F7 is an HGX-based platform that’s optimized for Large Language Model (LLM) training and Generative AI, leveraging NVIDIA’s B200 Blackwell Ultra GPU.

Both platforms boast massive compute power that reflects Altos’ strategic focus on empowering AI innovation across education, enterprise, and research sectors. “The Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2025 reinforces Acer’s commitment to equipping educators and learners with tools that not only enhance education today but also prepare them for the evolving digital landscape of tomorrow,” Hou adds.
