GIBO.ai Articulates a Vision for AI as the Nervous System of Future Mobility Ecosystems

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GIBO Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIBO), Asia’s leading innovation-driven AI ecosystem, today outlined its long-term vision for GIBO.ai as a foundational intelligence layer designed to connect, coordinate, and evolve future mobility systems across air, ground, and digital infrastructure.

Rather than viewing mobility as a collection of independent vehicles, GIBO envisions a future where intelligence flows continuously across systems—where EV motorbikes, aerial platforms, logistics networks, and urban infrastructure operate as interconnected intelligence nodes within a single computational fabric.

From Vehicles to Intelligence Networks

As mobility platforms become increasingly electrified and connected, the defining challenge of the next decade will not be hardware capability, but how intelligence is shared, learned, and orchestrated across systems.

GIBO.ai is being architected to function as the computational nervous system of future mobility—enabling vehicles and infrastructure to sense their environment, exchange intelligence, and respond collectively to changing conditions. In this model, mobility assets no longer act in isolation; instead, they become participants in a living intelligence network that continuously adapts and improves.

This shift marks a fundamental transition from machine-centric mobility to system-level intelligence, where awareness, prediction, and coordination are embedded at the core of how movement is managed.

Intelligence That Moves Across Domains

The GIBO.ai Calculation Engine is designed to operate horizontally across multiple mobility domains, allowing intelligence developed in one context to inform others. Insights derived from ground mobility can enhance aerial operations; environmental data collected from the air can improve urban flow on the ground.

By enabling this cross-domain intelligence exchange, GIBO.ai lays the groundwork for mobility ecosystems that are not only connected, but contextually aware—capable of understanding how individual movements contribute to broader system behavior.

Over time, this architecture supports increasingly sophisticated coordination between air and ground mobility, logistics flows, and urban infrastructure, without requiring each system to be rebuilt from scratch.

A Foundation for Scalable, Responsible Mobility Intelligence

GIBO’s vision emphasizes that intelligence must scale responsibly. As systems become more autonomous and interconnected, the ability to manage complexity, ensure transparency, and maintain system-wide coherence becomes critical.

By positioning GIBO.ai as a centralized intelligence layer—rather than a collection of isolated features—the Company aims to support long-term scalability while preserving adaptability. This approach allows mobility ecosystems to evolve incrementally, integrating new platforms, sensors, and technologies without disrupting the underlying intelligence architecture.

“Mobility’s future will be defined by how intelligence flows, not how fast vehicles move.”

“Vehicles will continue to evolve, but intelligence architectures are what ultimately define eras,” said Zelt Kueh, CEO of GIBO Holdings Ltd.

“With GIBO.ai, we are focused on building the nervous system of future mobility—one that allows intelligence to move seamlessly across air and ground, enabling systems to learn collectively and operate as a unified whole.”

NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Smart Kreate Group Limited (SKG), a strategic partner for cloud logistics transformation, officially announced its establishment. The venture is backed by leading institutional investors Oceanus Family Office and Caelus Global Strategy Fund SPC. The group, composed of three industry leaders: Smart Minds Holdings Limited, Times Express Limited (TEX), and H2N Limited (H2N) was formed through certain transactions completed in August 2025, with key attendees including Mr. Carl Chan, Director of SKG, Mr. Ben Cheung, Managing Director of TEX, and Mr. Jimmy Ling, Managing Director of H2N. SKG has outlined a clear roadmap: leveraging the U.S. as a gateway to global markets, advancing long-term capital market expansion, and driving growth through an expanded global operational footprint.

According to research from Grand View Research, the global cloud logistics market is experiencing robust growth, with a market size of approximately USD 21.55 billion in 2024 and a projected value of USD 46.31 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9% from 2025 to 2030. SKG’s entry into this high-growth sector aligns perfectly with the U.S. market’s demand for scalable, data-driven logistics solutions backed by the group’s solid operational capabilities: processing over 500,000 orders monthly, serving more than 310,000 global B2C customers, boasting over 24 years of deep logistics industry expertise and more than 9 years of Software as a Service (SaaS) innovation expertise. Leveraging its robust local and global operational capabilities, SKG has partnered with KEC (Hong Kong) Limited (KEC), aiming to further enhance its SaaS innovation capabilities.

For the U.S. market, SKG’s merger will unlock key competitive advantages and achieve a milestone breakthrough in the capital market. By leveraging the synergies of its three core brands, the group aims to triple its revenue—representing 2 to 3 times growth—within three years and achieve a net profit margin of 15-20%. Its specific synergistic strengths are as follows:
