Lenovo CIO Playbook: Asia Pacific Enterprises Shift from AI Experiments to Execution in 2026

According to the Lenovo CIO Playbook, enterprises across the Asia Pacific region are entering a new phase of artificial intelligence adoption—one that prioritizes execution over experimentation. Recent data shows that 96% of organizations in the Asia Pacific plan to increase their AI investments in 2026, with spending expected to rise by an average of 15%. This momentum is mirrored across ASEAN+ markets, where enterprises are aligning AI initiatives with clear business outcomes rather than isolated pilots.

For CIOs in the region, AI is no longer just a technology upgrade—it is a strategic growth driver. Revenue growth, improved profitability, and enhanced business and customer experiences have emerged as the top AI-driven priorities. This shift reflects a broader move toward outcomes-led AI adoption, where success is measured by tangible returns. Notably, 88% of organizations now expect positive ROI from their AI investments, with an anticipated average return of 2.8 times their initial spend.

AI adoption is also expanding beyond traditional IT departments. Around 66% of enterprises are already piloting or systematically using AI, and many report that non-IT teams are actively funding AI initiatives. Functions such as marketing, operations, finance, and customer service are increasingly driving demand, accelerating enterprise-wide AI integration.

One of the most significant emerging trends is Agentic AI—systems capable of autonomous decision-making and task execution. Interest in Agentic AI is expected to double over the next 12 months as organizations explore its potential to improve efficiency and responsiveness. However, despite growing enthusiasm, only a small percentage of enterprises feel ready to scale Agentic AI due to persistent challenges around governance, security, data quality, and system integration.

From an infrastructure perspective, hybrid AI has become the default enterprise architecture. Organizations are combining on-premises, cloud, and edge environments to balance performance, regulatory compliance, and security requirements. At the same time, rising inferencing demands are reshaping CIO priorities, with projections indicating that AI compute workloads will increasingly shift toward inferencing by 2030.

Employee productivity is another key focus area. Half of all enterprise PC purchases are expected to transition to AI-optimized devices equipped with on-device AI agents, signaling a move toward more intelligent, assistive work environments.

Despite strong confidence in AI’s value, scaling remains a critical challenge. Only about half of AI proofs-of-concept successfully reach production, highlighting the need for better execution frameworks, governance models, and cross-functional alignment as enterprises move deeper into the AI-driven future.

Leading EV Logistics Firm Mober Partners With TESDA to Advance PH’s EV Workforce Training, Development

Manila, Philippines — Mober, the leading green logistics services provider in the Philippines, has entered into a landmark partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to help advance national workforce training and development for the country’s emerging electric vehicle (EV) sector.

The partnership was formalized through a handshake ceremony at the TESDA Central Office in Taguig, with the support of the Supply Chain Management Association of the Philippines (SCMAP). Under this collaboration, education and training programs in EV driving, EV maintenance, and specialized skills such as customer service and assembly work will be developed and offered under TESDA, with Mober supporting end-to-end education delivery and providing clearer pathways to employment in green logistics.

TESDA will ensure all competencies meet national standards. Mober, in turn, will provide trainers, facilities, access to its operational EV fleet, and industry expertise to provide trainees with hands-on exposure to commercial EV operations and real-world logistics environments. The initiative positions Mober as a key industry partner helping shape employment-ready EV workforce programs aligned with the country’s long-term transport and sustainability goals.

This partnership forms part of Mober’s broader commitment to being an industry leader in people care and inclusion. Its internationally recognized gender diversity campaign, MoveHer, promotes the meaningful participation of women in the traditionally male-dominated logistics industry by creating more pathways into green jobs.

The initiative highlights the high level of workforce readiness among female TVET graduates. TESDA’s latest report revealed they recorded a standout employment rate of 85.67%, outpacing the national average. By providing targeted support, Mober and TESDA aim to bridge gender gaps in technical industries by tapping into this highly capable talent pool.

“Mober is serious about building new pipelines of skilled female professionals for the green economy. This is where we can truly make a meaningful contribution to nation-building. As we grow our business, we are equally committed to strengthening the capabilities of our people. This is how we meet the needs of our global clients while growing responsibly, with both sustainable business practices and the country’s social needs in mind,” said Miguel Bermundo, Vice President for People and Sustainability of Mober.

The partnership also comes as commercial EV adoption gains momentum across the Asia-Pacific region. According to industry research, the Asia Pacific electric commercial vehicles market was valued at USD 114 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 221 billion by 2029, growing at a nearly 18% compound annual rate, driven by rising electrification of logistics fleets, urban delivery vehicles, and public transport systems.

“Having a partner like Mober can help us jumpstart localizing the competency standards we may find globally, and more importantly, create avenues of training for our people,” said TESDA Secretary/Director General Jose Francisco "Kiko" Benitez during the handshake ceremony.

Nelly Nita Dillera, CESO III, Deputy Director General at TESDA, added, "Through our partnership with Mober, we're particularly excited about the work we will be doing with women to upskill them in EV driving, repair, and maintenance. This partnership brings together education, local governance, and industry—three pillars that, when aligned, create real pathways to employment, enterprise, and community development.”

The initiative reinforces Mober’s reputation as a people-centered organization. Following its recognition as one of Asia’s Inspiring Workplaces at the ACES Awards last November 2025, Mober continues to prioritize inclusivity alongside its environmental goals.

This year, Mober intends to scale these training initiatives and further expand its all-electric fleet, cementing its position as the leading green logistics partner in the Philippines.

DVX Night Storm X3 Redefines Night Vision with Dual-Sensor AI Fusion Technology

DVX has officially raised the bar in advanced night-vision technology with the launch of the Night Storm X3, a next-generation imaging system designed to deliver true-color visibility in near-total darkness. Unlike traditional night-vision devices that rely on a single sensor and switch between different viewing modes, the Night Storm X3 is built around a powerful dual-sensor AI Fusion architecture that creates a seamless, continuous imaging pipeline across all light conditions.

At the core of the Night Storm X3 are two dedicated CMOS sensors working together in real time. One sensor is optimized for structural detail and micro-contrast, allowing the system to clearly define shapes, edges, and textures. The second sensor is tuned for accurate color reproduction. These two data streams are processed by a 20 TOPS AI Fusion Engine, which intelligently merges them into a single true-4K image. The result is full-color night vision even in environments as dark as 0.0001 lux, a level of darkness where the human eye is virtually blind.

This architecture eliminates the need for switching between disjointed night, infrared, and color modes. Instead, the Night Storm X3 maintains a continuous imaging pipeline, delivering stable, real-time visuals whether you are operating in low-light urban areas, deep wilderness, or complete darkness. The system also supports native 4K capture, with an option to apply AI-powered upscaling to 6K for even sharper imagery and enhanced digital zoom performance.
