We
had a thoroughly enjoyable morning launching the South East Asian CPACT Hub,
hosted at the excellent facilities offered by Singapore Institute of
Technology. The inaugural meeting, chaired by David Lovett, was attended
by a mix of multi-national end-user, academic and vendor members of CPACT, all
contributing their ideas and specific requirements for the SE Asian region. We
hope that through the rich set of training material and workshops, compiled
from CPACT shared knowledge, we are able to enhance regional support for PAT
solutions in the process industries and expand the CPACT regional membership.
The
meeting established the Singapore/SE Asia steering committee, created
provisional ideas for regional webinars, and discussed workshop topics
to be scheduled during 2026. We now look forward to building within, and
collaborating with, the existing Singapore ecosystem.
The
next provisional in-person workshop is due in January 2026, where we hope
to provide an abundance of focused ideas around AI enhanced PAT; fuelled
by an abundance of pastries!!
