Operators are modernizing infrastructure while continuing to rely on proven technologies, balancing capital discipline, operational reliability and growing decarbonization mandates. Rather than wholesale disruption, the region is seeing parallel evolution, where legacy systems coexist with advanced digital platforms to meet near-term performance goals and long-term sustainability targets.Despite the rapid expansion of lithium-ion technologies, lead-acid batteries remain strategically important across APAC. Demand continues to be anchored in automotive SLI applications, telecom backup power, and industrial stationary systems. Manufacturers are prioritizing incremental innovation, like enhancing cycle life, improving sealed and maintenance-free designs, and investing heavily in recycling infrastructure to comply with tightening environmental regulations. In oil and gas operations, OSIsoft PI software, now part of the AVEVA portfolio, has evolved into a foundational digital infrastructure. Across upstream and midstream assets in APAC, PI systems are increasingly deployed beyond real-time monitoring to support predictive maintenance, emissions measurement, and asset performance management. This reflects a maturing digital strategy, where data platforms are embedded into core operations to improve uptime, safety, and regulatory compliance, rather than positioned as experimental digital initiatives.Energy storage brings these threads together as renewable capacity expands rapidly across the region. Grid-scale and hybrid storage deployments are accelerating, with APAC markets adopting a diversified mix of lithium batteries, established storage technologies, and pumped hydro, shaped by grid conditions and policy frameworks. Project developers and utilities are prioritizing bankability, system integration, and long-term reliability amid aggressive pricing pressures and policy targets that are testing commercial viability.This edition highlights the expert perspectives of Kreecha Puphaiboon, Head of AI/ML at BANPU Public Company Limited[BKK: BANPU], and Zulfa Ashida Zulkifli, Vice President of Human Resources, at Velesto Energy Berhad[KLSE: VELESTO]. These esteemed professionals share their invaluable insights on developments and challenges within the sector, along with potential solutions.We hope the valuable insights from industry leaders featured in this edition will help you make informed decisions for your businesses.Let us know your thoughts.Charlotte SmithManaging Editoreditor@energytechreview.comIndustrial Transformation and Data-Driven Progress across APAC*Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOsEditorial StaffAaron Pierce Ava GarciaBarbara JacksonVincent HoffmanJoshua Parker Kenny PeruzziEmailsales@energytechreview.comeditor@energytechreview.commarketing@energytechreview.comRobert Grey Smith
