HONG KONG, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Yunji Technology (2670.HK), China’s leading hospitality robotic-based AI agent company, delivered a strong debut annual report since its October 2025 listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under Chapter 18C for specialist tech firms.

In 2025, the company reported revenue of RMB 301 million (+23.1% YoY), with gross profit reaching RMB 113 million.

A key highlight was the rapid shift toward a “hardware-software integrated” model. While robot and accessory sales remained the core at RMB 213 million (+12.9%), AI digital systems revenue surged 57.3% to RMB 87.9 million, now accounting for 29.2% of total income. Within this segment, AI-driven agent application revenue exploded by 194.1% to RMB 33.9 million, fueled by the rollout of its HDOS intelligent agent system. HDOS subscription clients skyrocketed from 237 to 2,430—a staggering 925% increase—validating market demand for embodied AI services.

Beyond its hotel stronghold—where revenue grew 20.1% to RMB 244 million across more than 40,000 properties globally—Yunji is successfully diversifying. Revenue from non-hotel sectors jumped 37.7%, led by tech facilities (+160.4%) and factories (+393%). Commercial buildings and hospitals also contributed meaningfully, with hospital deployments rising from 130 to ~200.

R&D spending exceeded RMB 60 million, maintaining a >20% R&D ratio to advance core algorithms and platform capabilities. Analysts remain optimistic: CCB International noted in February 2026 that economies of scale should stabilize margins and reduce expense ratios over time.

According to Frost & Sullivan, China’s robotics service agent market is projected to grow at a 29.3% CAGR—from RMB 3.7 billion in 2024 to RMB 13.5 billion by 2029. As the category leader, Yunji is well-positioned to capture this expanding opportunity through real-world deployments, scalable technology, and recurring software revenue.

TORONTO, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Shoplazza, a global commerce platform serving direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, today announced the adoption of an Agentic Commerce architecture across its platform, introducing AI agents that can directly execute operational tasks within e-commerce workflows.

Agentic commerce shifts e-commerce from tool-based management to goal-based execution. Instead of navigating multiple dashboards or configuring workflows step by step, merchants can simply describe the business outcome they want, and the platform coordinates the necessary actions across storefront operations, payments, marketing tools, and customer management systems. The platform can automatically execute tasks such as creating campaigns targeting specific customers, updating storefront merchandising, launching campaigns, and monitoring performance.

At the core of this capability is Shoplazza’s proprietary Ecom Agent orchestration layer, which coordinates how AI agents interact with the platform’s commerce systems. This infrastructure allows agents to securely access different parts of the platform and execute tasks across storefront management, payments, marketing, and customer data while maintaining merchant-defined permissions and safeguards. The platform also evaluates results using real transaction data, enabling the system to continuously improve how similar tasks are executed over time.

A recent industry report from 36Kr highlights Shoplazza as an example of how commerce platforms are evolving toward Agentic Commerce. The report notes that e-commerce infrastructure is moving beyond traditional SaaS platforms to AI-enabled systems that can automate operational tasks and assist merchants in running day-to-day commerce activities.

“E-commerce is entering its deepest waters. The merchants who survive aren’t looking for more tools; they need an intelligent co-pilot,” said Jeff Li, Founder and CEO of Shoplazza. “That’s why we’re building end-to-end AI agents that don’t just execute tasks, but think, analyze, and optimize across the entire customer journey.”

Founded in 2017, Shoplazza provides global commerce infrastructure that enables businesses to build and operate online stores while coordinating payments, marketing, fulfillment, and customer operations within a unified platform. Today, the platform supports more than 650,000 merchants serving consumers in over 180 countries and regions, and operates within an ecosystem of more than 500 global partners.

About Shoplazza

Shoplazza is a Canadian commerce infrastructure platform that enables global businesses to build, launch, and scale their online stores. Built with an agentic commerce architecture, the platform integrates storefront technology, payments, marketing tools, and operational intelligence to support merchants operating across multiple markets.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CFD broker Mitrade announced five awards, positioning the recognition against a backdrop of heightened volatility and monetary divergence across the region.

The US-Iran conflict and Tehran’s leadership transition have pushed oil past $109, rocking global markets. Asian equities face energy and shipping disruptions. A resurgent US dollar has strained the Vietnamese dong and pushed the Indonesian rupiah toward Rp17,000, while regional currencies track widening policy divergence.

For leveraged CFD traders, these conditions often result in shorter positioning cycles and increased margin sensitivity. Rising retail participation has also sharpened focus on broker credibility and overall financial safeguards.

Since 2025, Mitrade has provided aggregate client fund insurance coverage of up to US$1 million for clients onboard under its CIMA and FSC-regulated entities, later extended to include its FSCA-regulated entity. The coverage provides protection for eligible clients in the unlikely event of broker insolvency.

Kevin Lai, Vice President of Mitrade Group, said operational stability and fund safety are central to trading decisions in the region.

“In complex market conditions, traders assess both price direction and the resilience of the institutions they use,” Lai said. “At Mitrade, adherence to client money rules, independent audits and insurance coverage reflect the standards traders increasingly expect when choosing a broker.”
