Aboitiz Power Corp., in partnership with Aboitiz Data Innovation, recently launched its Data Innovation Program to help reduce the cost of electricity and improve power reliability and security in the country.
The program forms part of the company’s foray into the artificial intelligence (AI) and technology sectors. It is anchored to the Aboitiz Group’s aim to become the first “techglomerate” in the Philippines.
Aboitiz Power president and chief executive officer Emmanuel Rubio stressed the importance of innovation and data science in making impactful progress to move the bottom line of the company and at the same time benefit consumers.
“We seek to not just experiment for the sake of experimentation, but to experiment to solve real operational problems that matter and will provide financial return and the opportunity for market leadership,” he said in a statement.
The move is a concerted effort of Aboitiz Power to make innovation and data science a driving force on all fronts of the business including generation, distribution, and commercial operations.
