Zia Manzur, Country Business Manager for Intel in Bangladesh, presented a keynote speech highlighting that it has been another breakthrough year for Intel and the IT industry as a whole, with the Asia Pacific and Japan region being a major driver for significant change. With advancements in technology across all IT– from mobile devices and Internet of Things (IoT) to backend IT infrastructures– the rapid pace of innovation will continue into 2015. Intel is ushering into the age of integration, a time when technology and computational power will no longer be an adjunct to our daily lives, but an integral, immersive, and all-encompassing part.

Beyond technology itself, Intel believes that young people are the key to innovation, and this year at The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair– the world’s largest high school science research competition –15 year old Nathan Han won top prize for his machine learning software tool studying mutations of a gene linked to breast cancer. Demonstrating that APJ is a hub of innovation, fifty-one students from across the Asia Pacific and Japan region were recognized with awards this year for their designs.
