PALO ALTO, CA — PhilDev Foundation, in partnership with Philippine Artificial Intelligence Retreat (PAIR) and Stanford US-Asia Technology Management Center, will co-host the inaugural US-Philippines Artificial Intelligence Summit on June 20, 2025 at Stanford University’s Bishop Auditorium.
This groundbreaking gathering brings together Filipino and American AI leaders, engineers, researchers, and founders to explore how artificial intelligence can address real-world challenges and create opportunity in the Philippines and beyond.
“The AI revolution must include Filipinos,” said Olivia de Jesus, Executive Director of PhilDev. “Through this summit, we’re building bridges between local innovators and global leaders to help Filipinos thrive—not just survive—in tech and entrepreneurship.”
“We believe closer ties in AI between the U.S. and the Philippines accelerates progress in key areas such as education, healthcare, automation, and disaster response,” adds Oliver Segovia, co-founder of PAIR. “Through connections and conversations, we can leverage on the distinct strengths and resources of each nation.”
The event will feature keynote talks, fireside chats and panel discussions from prominent voices in the AI space, including Sheila Lirio Marcelo (Ohai.ai, Care.com), Raiza Martin (Google) and Beryl Li (Yield Guild Games). Joining the panels to showcase their AI ventures are 2025 PAIR Fellows: Gian de la Rama, Allan Tan, Adrian Cayaco, Dana Kathleen Redeña, Beato Bongco, JP Madulid, Eugene Rex Jalao and Criselle Peñamante.
PhilDev’s partnership with like-minded collaborators like PAIR reflects our renewed commitment to champion Filipino STEM talent, both in the Philippines and across the global diaspora. The summit aims to spark lasting leadership and innovation in AI by convening founders, researchers, and investors to build impact and an inclusive tech future.
Registration is now open for both in-person and virtual attendees.
