OVERVIEW

Procurement is entering a defining moment—one shaped not only by digitization and automation, but by agency: intelligent systems capable of reasoning, acting, predicting, and collaborating alongside human counterparts. As ASEAN organizations pursue greater resilience, transparency, and enterprise influence, the next chapter lies in designing a fully agentic procurement ecosystem—a connected network of intelligent agents that elevate decision-making, orchestrate complex operations, and position procurement as a core architect of business value.

The 4th ASEAN Procurement Innovation Summit & Award 2026 (APIS 2026) convenes senior leaders across procurement, finance, supply chain, and technology to explore how these agentic capabilities can transform the enterprise. This year’s theme centers on empowering people, strengthening systems, and redefining procurement’s strategic contribution across ASEAN’s fast-evolving economic landscape. Over two days, attendees will engage in practical strategies, case studies, and executive discussions that elevate procurement into a true enterprise value driver. Through keynotes, panels, fireside dialogues, roundtables, and breakouts, the summit equips leaders to operationalize intelligence, strengthen resilience, advance ESG goals, and leverage agentic systems at scale. “Agentic procurement isn’t a technology upgrade—it’s a redefinition of how value is created. Those who design for this future today will lead the businesses of tomorrow.”
