  • 2023: Highest global score in the Digital Health Indicator (DHI) assessment
  • 2025: AMAM (Analytics Maturity Assessment Model) Stage 7
  • 2025: DIAM (Digital Imaging Adaption Model) Stage 7

Leading the Future of Smart Healthcare Worldwide Through Collective Commitment

Cho emphasized that the DIAM Stage 7 certification reflects years of dedication from CMUH’s entire team. “This is not just an institutional honor; it is the collective result of every colleague’s effort. We will continue to deepen our use of AI and digital health, with the ultimate goal of safeguarding patients’ safety and wellbeing,” he said.

By reaching the highest international benchmarks, CMUH has positioned itself as a world-class leader in smart healthcare, setting a standard that hospitals across Asia — and around the globe — will look to emulate.

2Stallions Showcases How AI Can Transform Productivity for Businesses

Awarded AmCham’s “Quantum Leap in AI & Digital,” 2Stallions digital marketing agency demonstrates how practical AI automations streamline operations and boost productivity for businesses.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 November 2025 – At the recent AmCham Singapore Represent Awards 2025, held at Raffles Sentosa and officiated by Guest-of-Honour Indranee Rajah, Second Minister for Finance, 2Stallions Digital Marketing Agency received the “Quantum Leap in AI & Digital” award. The recognition highlights the agency’s practical, integrated use of AI to improve team productivity and strengthen the value delivered to clients.

2Stallions Awarded 'Quantum Leap in AI & Digital' at AmChamREPRESENT Awards 2025
2Stallions Awarded ‘Quantum Leap in AI & Digital’ at AmChamREPRESENT Awards 2025

The AmCham Represent Awards celebrate organisations that advance innovation, workplace culture, and business excellence within the American Chamber of Commerce community.

The agency is using this moment to highlight a broader message for the business and marketing community: AI is becoming a practical lever for productivity, efficiency, and cost-saving across day-to-day operations.

AI as a Practical Time-Saver for Modern Organisations

Many companies today still spend hours each week on repetitive, manual tasks that drain bandwidth—compiling numbers for reports, categorising data, drafting routine content to preparing slides.

2Stallions’ experience shows that much of this can now be automated safely and reliably.

Some examples of AI-powered initiatives the agency introduced across its teams include:

1. Automated Data Reporting

Reporting is one of the most time-consuming tasks across marketing teams, traditionally involving an error-prone method of copying and pasting a large amount of numbers.

By connecting analytics platforms with ChatGPT and Google Docs using AI automation platforms such as Zapier and Pabbly Connect, data is now summarised and exported into slide templates automatically. This leaves the team to simply add their insights and recommendations before the report is ready.

Reporting tasks that once required hours of manual compilation now take minutes, freeing teams to focus on more strategic tasks.

2. Large-Scale Content Drafting

Traditionally, blog writing and other content production require many hours or days of research, structuring, and repetitive rewriting.

By supplying original ideas, brand guidelines, and outlines into AI platforms, writers can generate first drafts faster while keeping the gist of the content and strategic thinking human-led.

3. Cost-Efficient Visual Production

For brands that normally depend on photoshoots or video production for high-budget visual campaigns, AI-generated product shots, lookbooks with model imagery to video ads can drastically reduce production costs while still looking realistic and high-quality.

This approach benefits SMEs in particular, allowing them to achieve polished outputs without the overhead of traditional shoots or production.

The Productivity Equation: Human Strategy + AI Execution

2Stallions stresses that productivity gains do not come from outsourcing entire workflows to AI.

The real efficiency comes from pairing human direction with AI assistance:

  • Humans define the brief, strategy, and brand positioning.
  • AI accelerates execution for repetitive or mechanical tasks.
  • Humans refine, review, and finalise the output.

This hybrid approach helps teams produce higher-quality work while preserving authenticity and strategic oversight.

Practical Applications of AI for Businesses

Singaporean companies—whether in retail, financial services, B2B sectors, or SMEs—can adopt similar automated AI workflows to:

  • Reduce operational hours spent on low-value task
  • Improve reporting accuracy through automated data pipelines
  • Lower production costs for visuals and content
  • Boost team morale by easing workloads and repetitive task fatigue
  • Reallocate manpower to higher-level planning and strategic roles

Setting up AI automations and AI agents, as well as knowing how or when to use generative AI does require some level of expertise. Companies can upskill internal teams to build the skills they need as well as partner with external AI automation specialists. 2Stallions also offers Marketing Automation services that help businesses implement AI workflows to automate common marketing and sales functions.

Dhawal Shah, Co-Founder & Managing Director of 2Stallions quoted, “AI has allowed our teams to reclaim meaningful hours and reclaim work-life balance. The goal is not to replace expertise, but to extend it. When we automate the repetitive parts of the job, our people can focus on strategic thinking and creative work that moves the needle for clients.”

ArmourZero Secures Strategic Angel Investment to Accelerate Enterprise Cybersecurity Growth in Asia and the Middle East

Funding from Yang Teramat Mulia Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri enables regional market expansion and strengthens strategic enterprise partnerships

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ArmourZero, a cybersecurity company delivering automated vulnerability management powered by AI-driven remediation suggestions, announced today that it has received a strategic angel investment from YTM Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri. The investment will support ArmourZero’s expansion across ASEAN, North Asia, and West Asia (the Middle East), opening new doors for enterprises and building stronger trust with regional clients.

ArmourZero CEO and Co-Founder Tho Kit Hoong together with YTM Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri, marking ArmourZero’s new strategic investment.
ArmourZero CEO and Co-Founder Tho Kit Hoong together with YTM Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri, marking ArmourZero’s new strategic investment.

“Often we are mistaken as a reseller that resells other solutions or a service-oriented company instead of a deep-tech cybersecurity product company. Cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than ever, and organisations need intelligent, automated solutions to respond in real time. This partnership accelerates ArmourZero’s ability to reach key markets and build strategic relationships, ensuring our AI-driven solutions can deliver tangible impact where it matters most in particular when it comes to application security,” said Tho Kit Hoong, Co-founder & CEO of ArmourZero.

YTM Colonel(H) Tunku Syed Razman Ibni Tunku Syed Idrus Al Qadri, who chairs the Malaysia-Saudi Arabia Business Council (MSBC), commented: “ArmourZero is addressing a critical gap in cybersecurity with a strong AI-driven approach to safeguard all business applications. Our investment reflects confidence in their technology and its potential to set new standards in automated application security for the region.”

AI and the Rising Urgency in Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence has accelerated innovation in software development, with 84% of developers now using AI-generated code (often referred to as “vibe coding“) to build faster while increasing exposure to potential vulnerabilities.

A 2025 study by Schreiber & Tippe analysing 7,703 AI-generated code files found over 4,200 distinct vulnerabilities across 77 weakness types, with Python-based code showing vulnerability rates up to 18%. As AI becomes embedded in modern development workflows, the risk of introducing exploitable flaws into production systems continues to grow.

At the same time, IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that organisations using AI and automation in their security operations reduced average breach costs by up to USD 1.9 million compared to those without such technologies, underscoring the value of proactive, technology-driven security.

These findings highlight why AI and automation security are essential for modern software development. By applying AI to guide remediation and verify potential vulnerabilities, ArmourZero enables businesses to strengthen application security with greater speed and confidence.

Continuous Innovation

ArmourZero continues to advance its technology roadmap to address emerging enterprise risks. As part of its commitment to strengthening organisational resilience, the company will launch its API Security solution this month, addressing one of the most critical blind spots by empowering software developers and cybersecurity teams to automatically discover and remediate API related vulnerabilities early and prevent costly breaches before they impact operations.

About ArmourZero

ArmourZero’s Automated Vulnerability Management (AVM) platform provides real-time vulnerability discovery across applications, web domains, and cloud infrastructures. The platform provides AI to accelerate remediation through intelligent suggestions and advanced false-positive detection. This enables the software developer teams, risk teams, and cybersecurity teams to collaborate closely, focus on genuine threats and resolve them more efficiently.

MVGX Advances Maritime Green Transformation at the 2025 World Maritime Merchants Forum

SINGAPORE, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MVGX Tech, a Singapore-based leader in Sustainable AI and Green Finance Technology, took part in the 2025 World Maritime Merchants Forum in Hong Kong. Held under the theme “Steering Sustainability through Changes”, the forum brought together global maritime leaders to explore coordinated pathways for decarbonisation and digital transformation.

During the forum, two major industry group standards were officially released. Developed jointly by multiple authoritative organisations with strong involvement from MVGX, the standards are: Calculation Methods for Life Cycle GHG Intensity of Marine Fuels and Verification for Attained Annual Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity of Ships.

These two standards address critical gaps in the industry’s methodologies for low-carbon accounting and verification of marine fuels. Each standard introduces a systematic approach for calculating and verifying full life-cycle emissions, covering the entire process from raw material acquisition and production to transportation, storage, and onboard use. Together, the standards provide the sector with unified, scientific, and actionable technical frameworks. This alignment also brings domestic regulations closer to IMO rules, strengthening China’s technical influence in global green maritime governance.

The calculation standard offers structured support for fuel pathway assessment and emissions reduction strategy development, while the verification standard provides a complete framework for compliance assurance. The release of this standards series lays a quantitative foundation for the sector, while also builds momentum for the upcoming global launch of OptiFuel EU and AIPoS Platform.

Designed in line with tightening global environmental regulations and the maritime sector’s accelerating green transition, the OptiFuel EU fully complies with the FuelEU and the EU ETS. Its intelligent algorithms optimise fuel use and fuel mix, reducing both fuel-related expenses and regulatory compliance costs with precision.

Meanwhile, AIPoS Platform streamlines sustainability data management by automating the tracking, processing, and intelligent analysis of marine fuel data. This provides maritime enterprises with a strong data-driven foundation for strategic decarbonisation decisions.

By aligning closely with industry standards, these two products offer maritime enterprises worldwide a comprehensive solution that supports compliance, cost optimisation, and operational efficiency.

MVGX aims to help the sector move towards a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable future. More information on the global launch of both products will be shared soon.

About MVGX

MVGX Tech is a global leader in Sustainable AI and Green Finance Technology, specialising in three key areas: Green Asset Trading, Sustainable AI Services and Green Finance Solutions. By integrating expertise in artificial intelligence, sustainability and RWA-compliant green finance, MVGX provides end-to-end, internationally compliant solutions, from carbon tracking, reporting and compliance management to the integration of green assets into sustainable finance. Its mission is to empower organisations to accelerate their sustainability goals through technology-enabled transparency, trust and impact.

Gorilla Technology Reports Record Revenue in Q3; Issues 2026 Guidance


– Q3 revenue up 32% year on year delivering the strongest quarter in its history –
– Bottom line at breakeven versus a $7.8 million loss in Q3 2024
– Total cash $121.4 million including $110.2 million unrestricted at end of Q3
– $1.4 billion AI data centre mandate secured and an advanced AI and GPU infrastructure pipeline now above $7 billion with build already under way for phased implementation from early 2026 –

London, United Kingdom–(Newsfile Corp. – November 17, 2025) – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today reported its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reiterated the Company’s guidance for fiscal 2025 and provided guidance for full year 2026.

Key highlights include:

Record revenue growth: Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $26.5 million, compared with $20.1 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of approximately 32%. The increase was due primarily to the Company’s execution on AI infrastructure, public safety and enterprise projects across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.

Strong project execution: The Company delivered an operating income of approximately $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to an operating loss of $6.0 million for the same period in 2024. This swing of more than $6.4 million was due primarily due to disciplined operating expenses across people, professional services, and overheads, and stronger contracting and vendor alignment that improved efficiency. This performance validates Gorilla’s focus on core operations and improved efficiency as it expands its presence in large-scale AI data centre and GPU infrastructure programmes.

Continued focus on profitability: EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $0.8 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of $5.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, while net loss was close to breakeven at $0.03 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $6.8 million, up 21% from $5.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted Net Income increased 72% year on year to $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Maximizing working capital flexibility: As of September 30, 2025, total debt was $15.1 million, a decrease of 30% from $21.4 million at the end of 2024. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, Gorilla’s unrestricted cash position increased to $110.2 million from $21.7 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of ~ 408%, and $10.1 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of ~ 990%. Gorilla continues to manage its working capital debt ensuring flexibility to fund existing contracts and convert its client pipeline without balance sheet strain.

Earnings per share inflection: Basic and diluted EPS were approximately breakeven for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, while adjusted basic EPS was $0.26 and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.24 for the same period.

Statement from Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO:

“The third quarter marks a turning point where Gorilla became a recognized leader in AI infrastructure. Our contracted projects, strong balance sheet and clear line of sight to scale differentiate us from peers that have yet to deliver beyond the promise of AI. We are optimistic about our revenue growth in the coming years, driven by secured mandates, including our recently announced $1.4 billion AI data centre contract in Southeast Asia, as well as ongoing deployments and a robust pipeline.”

“We have built a platform that designs, builds and operates sovereign-grade AI infrastructure alongside governments, telecommunications providers, and leading institutions. From here, our priorities are clear; convert our pipeline, grow high quality recurring revenue, maintain our cost discipline and deliver consistently strong quarters to drive a complete re-rating of Gorilla in the eyes of global investors.”

Update on Key Projects:

In Southeast Asia, Gorilla is now executing its 5G and AI infrastructure projects across the region, with deployment activity accelerating through the last quarter. In MENA, Gorilla’s projects are entering the final execution phase. With strong collections and solid delivery momentum across both regions, these programmes highlight Gorilla’s ability to execute large-scale national infrastructure with precision and reliability.

Financial Outlook:

2026 Guidance

For full year 2026, Gorilla currently expects revenue in the range of $137 million to $200 million. This estimate is underpinned by the expected completion initial phase of the $1.4 billion Southeast Asia AI data centre project in the first quarter of next year, which is expected to contribute $100 million of revenue per year from 2026 to 2028. This guidance is further supported by two major Asian law enforcement contracts that Gorilla announced in September 2025. The Company has already begun working on both and expects these projects to contribute meaningfully to full year 2026 financial results.

The Company is only able to provide guidance based on its contractual backlog, which is the revenue it expects to recognize from signed contracts, based on currently scheduled delivery timelines and specified contractual milestones. Where project mandates have been awarded but timelines and parameters are still in discussion with our customers, it is not currently possible to forecast the periods in which anticipated revenue would be recognized. Therefore, investors are advised that the current guidance does not include contracted but presently unfinalized projects (such as the remaining phases of the Southeast Asia AI data centre project) and also does not reflect any additional projects that the Company is seeking to secure.

The Company’s pipeline currently stands in excess of $7 billion, which has increased largely due to advanced stage AI and GPU infrastructure opportunities in key markets.

2025 Guidance

The Company’s full year 2025 guidance remains unchanged: revenue is expected to be in the range of $100 million to $110 million; Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million; Adjusted net profit, excluding extraordinary items, is expected in the range of $15 million to $20 million; and the Company expects positive operating cash flow.

Statement from Bruce Bower, CFO:

“With our capital structure now a strength, not a constraint, we are operating from a position of exceptional financial flexibility. Reducing debt to $15.1 million, lifting total cash to $121.4 million, and beginning to fund major AI data centre projects has transformed our balance sheet into a source of funding for growth. This financial capacity underpins our ability to execute existing mandates and accelerate our multi-billion-dollar pipeline with both discipline and agility.”

“We look forward to finishing 2025 by continuing to strengthen our financial position. Apart from executing on our key projects, certain stages of projects expected to be completed and invoiced in the fourth quarter are among the higher margin portions of these projects, which we expect to further enhance our cash position.”

Financial Statements:

In addition to the financial information presented below, investors are advised to review additional financial statements included on the Company’s Form 6-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shortly following this press release.
