The Asi@Connect project—co-funded by the European Union—in collaboration with APNIC, conducted Capacity Building training programs in ten (10) countries across the Asia-Pacific region in 2024. The topics covered ranged from Network Security, Internet Routing, and SDN to MPLS. The upcoming session will feature three presentations: the first by APNIC, which oversaw the program, followed by two presentations from representatives of two of the ten participating countries. In APNIC’s presentation, an overview of last year’s technical training program under Asi@Connect will be provided, highlighting key results, outcomes, and challenges. Additionally, brief information on this year’s collaboration will be shared. Representatives from BdREN (Bangladesh) and PREGINET (Philippines) will also present their perspectives on hosting the program, sharing their experiences, challenges, and suggestions for improvement. As two of the three countries (BD, PH & TH) set to host another session, their insights will be valuable for enhancing future training programs. We encourage you to take a moment to review last year’s achievements and explore opportunities to attend this year’s training program—either in your country or in neighboring countries.
