PASAY CITY, Philippines — The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) brought together public-sector institutions, technology partners, and delegates from member economies of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) for the Beyond DX: AI Transformation Forum for the Philippine Public Sector on 22 October 2026 at Conrad Manila, providing a platform to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can strengthen government services, decision-making, and institutional capabilities.
About the forum
Organized under DAP's National Capability-Building Program on AI (AI CapB), the forum went beyond digital transformation (DX) to examine how government institutions can responsibly integrate AI into their services, workflows, and decision-making processes to create greater public value.
The discussions highlighted the importance of building the foundations for AI-ready government, moving from experimentation to adoption, and developing the leadership, workforce capabilities, and organizational culture needed to sustain AI transformation.
Showcase and learning
Through presentations, video perspectives, live demonstrations, audience interaction, and a curated AI showcase, participants explored practical applications and implementation experiences from government agencies and selected technology partners. These included solutions relevant to government operations, citizen services, procurement, experimentation, and institutional initiatives.
