What happened
The EU and the Philippines have launched an AI lab to support businesses in testing AI solutions before investing. The lab, which will be established by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), will provide access to computing infrastructure, data, and technical expertise. It will focus on developing AI applications for energy, health, the environment, and disaster resilience.
The lab will be established as an allied lab under the National AI Center for Research and Innovation (NAICRI) program.
The initiative forms part of EU–Philippines digital cooperation under the Global Gateway Strategy, which now amounts to 40 million euros.
The lab will help develop AI applications for energy, health, the environment, and disaster resilience.
It will serve European and Philippine industry, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and startups.
The lab's "test before invest" approach will allow businesses to try promising AI solutions before committing funds.
