Aboitiz Data Innovation

What Aboitiz Data Innovation does

Aboitiz Data Innovation (ADI) is a Singapore-headquartered, wholly-owned Data Science and AI subsidiary of the Aboitiz Group, founded in 2021 to serve as the conglomerate's unified DSAI platform and to commercialize those capabilities externally across Southeast Asia. The company targets three verticals: financial services (banking, fintech, insurance), power and industrials (energy, manufacturing, smart cities), and the public sector (regulators and government agencies), with customers including UnionBank, Union Digital Bank, AboitizPower, a multilateral development bank, a global life and health insurance company, and an unnamed leading Philippine bank. ADI employs 51–100 staff sourced from nine countries and positions itself as an APAC leader in Data Science and AI innovation.

ADI's product portfolio rests on three pillars. The flagship is AVA AI, an enterprise GenAI virtual analyst that uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and orchestrates multiple large language models (OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude 3, Meta Llama 3) while integrating with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Office 365, Google Workspace, and Azure SharePoint. Analytics Solutions, marketed as Data Science as a Service, include the GeoSocio Analysis Engine (alternative credit scoring using over 900 data points for MSMEs and SMEs), AI-powered transaction monitoring with automated false-positive resolution and mule detection, Customer Intelligence (propensity modelling and stickiness analysis), and AI for Climate/ESG. Governance Solutions include Parlay, a privacy-enhancing data exchange platform that powers the Philippines' National Privacy Commission regulatory sandbox, and Data and AI Governance advisory covering ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act compliance.

ADI generates revenue through a hybrid model combining enterprise professional services (consulting, integration, deployment) and subscription/usage-based pricing for proprietary platforms, sold via direct field sales with quote-based pricing and no public rates. Go-to-market leverages direct enterprise sales, strategic technology partnerships (AWS Select Tier Services and Public Sector partner; Cloudera GenAI partner), an active thought-leadership program (Philippines' first AI Summit, the Casually Unboxed podcast, ADI Insights blog), and channel access through the Aboitiz Group ecosystem. Reported outcomes include a 100% increase in loan approval rates at a leading Philippine bank, 75% time savings in document retrieval at a multilateral development bank, and identification of 10–20% of borrowers rejected by traditional banks as creditworthy.
