AIM ASEAN is a two-year initiative led by the ASEAN Foundation, in partnership with AVPN through the AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific Phase 2. Through practical, localised AI training, AIM ASEAN will help small business owners use AI tools to improve their operations, grow their markets, and build resilience. It was out of this concern that ASEAN leaders established the ASEAN Foundation during ASEAN's 30th Anniversary Commemorative Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 15 December 1997. The ASEAN Foundation is an organization by and for the people of ASEAN. As an ASEAN body, the Foundation is tasked to support ASEAN mainly in promoting awareness, identity, interaction, and development of the people of ASEAN.
