The Asia-Pacific region will be home to 5.2 billion screens by 2031, Media Partners Asia’s Vivek Couto said in his opening address at APOS, and the key to effectively monetizing that base lies in “closing the transaction loop” as video, social, and commerce converge.

APOS's impressive agenda will feature the AsiaPac heads of Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and HBO Max on a panel discussing how they're navigating the region's streaming sector.

Viewing content libraries as potential training models and honing in on authenticity were among the themes to emerge from Media Partners Asia's inaugural AETHER Summit, convening a diverse array of industry leaders for a focused summit on AI, among them Uday Shankar and Simon Fuller.

Asia-Pacific screen revenues will continue to grow over the next five years, according to Media Partners Asia, driven by streaming, social, and CTV, with creator-led platforms emerging as the largest growth engine.

Media Partners Asia is hosting an invitation-only event in Singapore in January focused on AI, with speakers from across the ecosystem.
