Welcome to another insightful issue of Intelligent CIO APAC!

As we hit mid-2025, the Asia-Pacific region continues to be a hotbed of digital transformation, innovation and, inevitably, new challenges. The pace of change here is simply breathtaking, setting global benchmarks for how technology can reshape economies and societies.
In this edition, we delve into the latest innovations that are redefining the regional landscape. We’ re seeing massive investments pouring into data center expansion, particularly driven by the insatiable demands of AI workloads. The financial sector, for instance, is making a strategic shift towards multi-cloud models, showcasing AI not just as a tool for efficiency but as a core driver for new business models.
This month, we also take a special deep dive into South Korea’ s dynamic innovation scene. Known for its technological prowess and rapid adoption of cutting-edge solutions, South Korea is a fascinating case study in digital transformation.
We explore how their enterprises are leveraging AI, 5G and advanced analytics to drive national competitiveness and navigate the unique strategies employed by their CIOs to remain at the vanguard.
We hope this issue provides you with valuable perspectives and actionable insights for your own digital journeys.
