Acer has concluded its Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2026 in Jakarta on April 22 to 23.
Under the theme "Future-Ready Learning: AI, Innovation, and Human-Centered Education," the summit brought together education stakeholders in the region to drive inclusive AI adoption and accelerate meaningful transformation in education.
Attendees came from Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam, reinforcing Indonesia’s role as a key market in Acer’s digital education ecosystem.
Through this event, we are also strengthening regional collaboration among countries to drive collective progress in education, said Andrew Hou, president of Pan Asia Pacific Operations at Acer Inc.
Over the course of two days, the Acer Edu Summit Asia Pacific 2026 brought together discussion sessions, presentations, and knowledge-sharing forums exploring how AI can be effectively integrated into education. Key topics included personalized learning, the enhancement of digital literacy, and the evolving role of educators alongside technological innovation.
This year's summit also featured the latest work in AI education from the MIT Media Lab's City Science Group and introduced its Learning Foundry for AI and Robotics (FAIR). Dr. Michael Lin, Research Scientist at MIT, together with Dr. Wolfgang Gruel, Professor at Stuttgart Media University and Research Affiliate at the MIT Media Lab, shared how Learning FAIR leverages AI to enable personalized, scalable learning and better prepare students for the future.
The summit also brought together diverse perspectives on AI in education through sessions led by academics and industry leaders from across the region.
Acer also highlighted its latest Copilot+ PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, including the TravelMate P4 Spin 14 AI, TravelMate P4 14 AI, and TravelMate P2 AI series, as recommended devices for modern classrooms.
Designed to be lightweight and versatile, these devices support both teaching and learning needs. The TravelMate P4 Spin 14 AI, with its touchscreen and stylus, enables more interactive classroom activities, while the TravelMate P2 AI series offers reliable performance and long battery life for extended use, supporting flexible and collaborative learning experiences.
What do you think?
@That's Not My Neighbor I largely agree with Acer's approach because AI in education is no longer just a trend but is gradually becoming a mandatory skill. Personally, I think the most important thing isn't how many AI devices a school has, but whether teachers are adequately trained to use them effectively. Simply chasing technology without proper methods can easily backfire. I wonder if they will share any real-world case studies at this summit demonstrating how AI has improved student learning outcomes?
