    WITH ongoing geopolitical tensions, labour shortages, and not least the impact of climate change and technology fails, there have been many seismic pressures on supply chains in the last 12 months, some of which have proved more manageable than others.

    In South-east Asia, artificial intelligence (AI) may take over. According to recent reports, the region is quickly becoming a global hub for AI innovation and adoption. With major investments in AI infrastructure and a growing ecosystem of startups and developers, the region is primed to harness the transformative potential of the technology across multiple industries.

    In fact, South-east Asia attracted over US$30 billion in AI infrastructure investment in just the first half of 2024, positioning itself as a key player in the global AI landscape.
