🤝 GenAI Fund Partner Kai Yong Kang at IGNITE 2025: Gateway ASEAN
GenAI Fund Partner Kai Yong, Kang recently joined the IGNITE 2025: Gateway ASEAN conference in Manila, Philippines, as one of the keynote speakers — sharing insights on how enterprises and startups can collaborate to accelerate AI adoption across Southeast Asia.
In a fireside chat with Jesha Vebrattie Effendie from Living Lab Ventures, Kai shared insights on how enterprises and startups can work together to scale AI adoption across Southeast Asia — and why the Philippines could be a powerful launchpad for this movement.
He highlighted key advantages that position the Philippines for an AI breakthrough:
– A globally connected, service-oriented workforce
– Enterprise readiness to co-create and pilot AI solutions
– Growing ecosystem and policy support for AI capability-building
– A BPO sector ready to evolve toward AI-driven value creation
“One of my secret missions this year is to bring what we’re building at GenAI Fund to the Philippines — and I’m glad to say some great conversations are already happening.” — Kai Yong Kang, Partner, GenAI Fund
