Celebrating Cyber Leadership, Trust, and Collaboration Across Asia
Taipei, Taiwan — The Asia Pacific Information Services Industry Digital Summit (ASOCIO Digital Summit) officially commenced today at the Sheraton Grand Taipei Hotel. The regional digital economy event is co-hosted by the Taiwan Information Service Industry Association (TISSA) and the Asian-Oceanian Computing Industry Organization (ASOCIO), with guidance from Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) and the Administration for Digital Industries.
The opening ceremony was officiated by several distinguished leaders: Taiwan Vice President Bi-khim Hsiao, Minister of Digital Affairs Lin Yi-ching, ASOCIO Chairman Stan Singh-Jit, and TISSA Chairman Shen Bo-yen. Their joint presence underscored the importance of cross-regional cooperation in advancing Asia Pacific digital transformation, innovation ecosystems, and cybersecurity capacity development.
AJCCA Recognized with ASOCIO Special Contribution Award
This year's summit also features the Asian Japan Cybersecurity Community Alliance (AJCCA), which was officially invited to participate as one of this year’s awardees for the ASOCIO Special Contribution Award to be presented during the gala dinner award ceremony.
AJCCA is represented at the summit by:
- Dr. Rudi Lumanto — Chairman
- Dr. Hiroshi Esaki — Vice Chairman, and
- Mr. Seiichi Ito — Secretary General
Dr. Rudi expressed deep appreciation on behalf of the organization for the recognition:
“This award is an important motivation trigger for AJCCA. It encourages us to do more impactful work and continue contributing to the cybersecurity community across the region.”
In the latest ASOCIO bulletin, Dr. Rudi also emphasized that AJCCA recognizes the critical role of artificial intelligence in the future of cybersecurity, and the Alliance aims to continuously highlight major developments, risks, and emerging defensive paradigms in the years ahead.
Taiwan Positions Itself as Global AI Partner
In her keynote remarks, Vice President Hsiao highlighted the global shift driven by artificial intelligence, noting that AI is reshaping every industry at unprecedented speed — with profound socioeconomic impact.
She reaffirmed Taiwan’s position as an indispensable global partner in the AI supply chain. Taiwan’s world-class semiconductor foundation combined with strong software R&D capabilities make the island a core contributor to next-generation intelligent technologies.
Taiwan’s government is advancing the national vision of an “AI Island”, supported by the AI New Ten Major Constructions program, which covers:
Key AI technology research and development,
AI infrastructure expansion,
Cross-disciplinary AI application integration
The initiative aims to accelerate Taiwan’s transition into a digitally empowered, innovative, and AI-ready society.
Industry Outlook
The tone of the summit clearly demonstrates that AI, cybersecurity, and trust will be the center of the region’s next digital decade. From supply chain ethics to critical infrastructure protection, from defense against cyber-enabled threats to new business productivity models, the Asia Pacific region is rapidly moving toward AI-powered digital ecosystems.
With ASOCIO gathering government leaders, industry associations, and private technology innovators from across the region — collaboration remains the strategic key.
The participation of AJCCA this year and the ASOCIO Special Contribution Award reinforce the alliance’s crucial contribution to regional cyber resilience and capability building across Asia and Japan.
