Aboitiz Data Innovation, the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence arm of the Aboitiz Group, kicked off its "ADI: Let's Press Start" event at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore on 27 October. ADI showcased the possibilities DSAI can contribute to accelerated transformation in its key sectors — financial services, power, and smart cities — to help build a data-driven future and advance businesses and communities in the region.
It was a successful launch attended by over a hundred valued partners and stakeholders from both Singapore and the Philippines. Among the key Aboitiz executives in attendance were Aboitiz Group President and CEO Sabin Aboitiz, AboitizPower President and CEO Emmanuel Rubio, Aboitiz InfraCapital President and CEO Cosette Canilao, UnionBank President and CEO Edwin Bautista, Aboitiz Food Group Business CEO Eric Nojac, and ADI CEO Dr. David R. Hardoon.
In their company were key members of the business community in Singapore, alongside Singaporean government officials, members of the academe, and top officials from the Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Singapore led by Charge d'Affaires and Consul General Dr. Emmanuel R. Fernandez.

Integral to the Aboitiz Group's "Great Transformation" plans in making the company more resilient and future-ready, ADI aims to simplify the complex world of data and drive the Group's journey in becoming the Philippine's first techglomorate through the operationalization of DSAI across all business units.
"Data is the new oil or gold. Its value and currency are firmly and permanently established, and strengthening by the minute. To seize it would be imperative, which is exactly what we are doing here today with the launch of Aboitiz Data Innovation, and with our ongoing Great Transformation into a fully data-driven Techglomerate — the first of its kind in the Philippines. Companies around the world are embarking on this journey themselves, and the ones that are able to create the most value from data-supported capabilities will progress the fastest," said Aboitiz Group President and CEO Sabin Aboitiz.
