Collabera Digital, a global provider of digital engineering services, is unveiling the first generative AI lab in the Philippines, in partnership with Katonic.ai, an Australian artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning company. The launch of the generative AI lab is part of the partnership between the two companies that aims to help businesses from various industries harness the power of generative AI.

The generative AI lab is one of the labs envisioned by Collabera Digital to open in key Asia Pacific cities. These labs are designed to create an ecosystem for innovation, collaboration, and development of new AI-based solutions for growth. Additionally, they will serve as a platform for knowledge transfer and research, bridging the gap between industry and academia.  

“Collabera Digital’s Generative AI lab underscores our unwavering commitment to driving groundbreaking advancements by fostering a collaborative platform. The world is abuzz with generative AI and the limitless possibilities it can unveil. Through the Gen AI lab, our goal is to bring the power of this technology to our clients in the Philippines and unlock enormous business opportunities for them and the country at large,” said Manan Mehta, senior vice president and country head of Collabera Digital Philippines. 

“Over the last three years, we have helped organizations across APAC derive value from traditional and generative AI. That experience will allow us to help organizations in the Philippines leverage AI for their growth and success with speed and efficiency,” added Prem Naraindas, the CEO and founder of Katonic.ai.

In January, Collabera Digital and Katonic.ai announced their strategic partnership to empower large and small organizations to adopt generative AI for fast and cost-efficient decision making without the traditional risks of data security.

The collaboration also aims to fine-tune generative AI models and integrate them directly in the infrastructure, ensuring precision and security. The integration enables the organization to instantly produce text, images, codes, or video content using the ability of large language models (LLMs) to understand user prompts and context.

In addition, the partnership offers an all-encompassing generative AI solution. Using the award-winning Machine Learning Operations Platform (MLOps) of Katonic.ai, businesses can manage data preparation, model training, deployment, monitoring, and end-to-end automation with high reliability and efficiency.

With over 25 years of experience in providing IT services for more than 300 clients, 160 of which are in the Fortune 500 list, Collabera Digital has a workforce of 6500 employees across Asia Pacific and Europe, 3500 of which are in the Philippines, particularly in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao.
