A Salon On Open Distributed Southeast Asian Tech Futures

Last month (March 2025) we hosted an online salon (Silicon Archipelago) as a prequel taster to the workshop. We discussed technology futures in Southeast Asia, and the region’s potential to become a powerhouse of open, distributed computing protocol technologies, in particular distributed AI and blockchains.

Below is a video along with session slides and links shared by participants during the salon.
