19th National Congress

11th IE Research Conference

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF SAN CARLOS

The University of San Carlos extends its greetings
to the Philippine Institute of Industrial Engineers
as you embark on your 19th National Congress,
11th IE Research Conference, 2nd AI Summit, and
CEO Forum. The theme, "AI at the Core:
Revolutionizing Business Strategies," aligns
perfectly with the University’s commitment to
fostering innovation and preparing our students
for the challenges and opportunities of the digital
age.

As a university deeply rooted in Catholic tradition and dedicated to academic
excellence, we believe that technology should serve as a tool for human
advancement, not a replacement for human ingenuity. The convergence of artificial
intelligence and industrial engineering offers immense potential to optimize
processes, improve efficiency, and create sustainable solutions.

We are honored to be participants in this event and look forward to the insightful
discussions, groundbreaking research, and valuable connections that will emerge
from these gatherings. May your deliberations inspire new ideas, foster
collaboration, and drive the Philippines towards a future where technology and
humanity work in harmony.

Congratulations to PIIE! The University wished you a successful and productive
conference.
