VCAT AI Officially Launches “CREAGEN,” a Conversational AI Solution for Image and Video Generation

An integrated GPT-5 platform combining over 30 global AI models enables brands to create high-quality visuals and videos through natural conversation

TOKYO, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — VCAT AI Corp., an AI-based marketing automation company, announced the official launch of CREAGEN, its innovative conversational AI solution for image and video generation.

CREAGEN integrates a GPT-5–powered conversational interface with more than 30 of the latest global AI generation models, including Kling, Sora, and Runway. The platform eliminates the need for complex prompts or multiple tools, allowing users to create brand-level visuals and videos simply by talking to AI.

Streamlining Creative Workflows with AI Conversation

Through the “Chat with AI” feature, CREAGEN enables anyone to generate high-quality content without specialized prompt skills. The AI interprets user intent and suggests tone, composition, and background—adapting results in real time to align with the brand’s identity.

By consolidating the generative AI workflow, CREAGEN helps companies overcome three common challenges in adopting generative AI:

  1. Cost Reduction: One-stop integration of 30+ AI models reduces redundant subscription costs by up to 80%.
  2. Professional Consistency: An end-to-end workflow allows anyone to produce expert-level visuals and videos with ease.
  3. Brand Coherence: Custom preset systems trained on each company’s tone, color, and style ensure consistent visual quality across all campaigns.

“Enabling Brands to Create with Their Own Data and Identity”

“Many companies understand the importance of generative AI but struggle to implement it effectively. CREAGEN is designed to help them internalize AI-driven content production step by step—without the need for external specialists” said Beom-jin Jung, CEO of VCAT A.

“Our mission is to empower brands to produce content grounded in their unique data and identity. CREAGEN represents our vision of enabling every brand to become its own creative powerhouse.”

Expanding the Ecosystem: CREAGEN Lab

In addition to the self-service platform, VCAT AI also operates CREAGEN Lab, an AI-powered video production service that supports tailor-made creative projects by professional teams.

While CREAGEN allows companies to directly generate AI content, CREAGEN Lab offers a fully managed production option—providing strategic and creative support for marketing campaigns.

This dual-service approach has already been adopted by major brands including Lotte, Samsung Electronics, and LG Household & Health Care, with successful production of TV commercial–style campaign videos and branded content.

Through both services, VCAT AI supports companies in building in-house generative AI capabilities, establishing itself not only as a service provider but as a strategic partner helping brands integrate AI into their creative operations.

Finmo Redefines the Treasury Landscape with a Brand Built Around “Connected Financial Intelligence and Control”

SINGAPORE, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Finmo today announced the launch of its new brand identity and positioning centred on Connected Financial Intelligence and Control for the Modern CFO. The refreshed brand marks Finmo’s evolution into a comprehensive Treasury Management System (TMS) – a unified platform that connects a company’s global financial infrastructure, powering real-time cash visibility, seamless money movement, and intelligent treasury automation.

David Hanna, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder at Finmo said: “For today’s CFO, finance is all about insight and foresight – anticipating challenges and responding with confidence. With Finmo’s platform, we give finance leaders a powerful “second sight”; the clarity to forecast outcomes, navigate uncertainty, and command greater strategic influence.

At the heart of Finmo’s evolution is its 4Cs framework – Connect, Control, Command, and Create – the foundation of a modern, connected treasury. By unifying these pillars together into one intelligent platform, Finmo gives finance teams a unified view of their entire financial landscape, sharper forecasting accuracy, and the agility to optimise liquidity and working capital in real time.

Mansi Chopra, Chief Marketing Officer at Finmo, said: “CFO expectations have evolved. In a world that moves fast, they want to complete their morning review in moments, with the intelligence, integration, and instant visibility to manage everything and see their entire treasury in one place. Our rebrand reflects that shift. Finmo gives CFOs instant visibility, automated control, and intelligent execution – turning the daily treasury review from hours into moments. Because in finance, control begins with clarity, and you can’t manage what you can’t see.”

Finmo’s platform brings this vision to life by unifying banks, ERPs, accounting systems, and payment gateways in one secure environment. Finance teams gain real-time cash and liquidity visibility, automated reconciliation, scalable cross-border payments, and proactive FX management – all in one place. The result: a smarter, connected treasury that doesn’t just track financial activity – it drives it.

About Finmo

Founded by David Hanna, Akhil Nigam, Richard Oh, Raj Vimal Chopra, and Thomas Kang, Finmo is purpose-built for today’s cross-border businesses.

Singapore Businesses Go Global: One in Four Sell Internationally with PayPal

  • Top 3 industry verticals fueling Singapore’s cross-border growth are gaming, beauty, and fashion, which generated over US$1.6B1 in transaction value.
  • Beyond the U.S., Singapore businesses are capturing new consumer demand in Mexico, where shoppers are turning to Singapore for beauty and fashion products.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — More than 90,000 Singapore-based businesses are selling internationally with PayPal. This represents one in four of Singapore’s 356,1002 registered businesses, underscoring how digital commerce is powering global reach for local businesses. Collectively, over 14 million global customers shopped from businesses in Singapore using PayPal.

The latest insights, based on a year of PayPal global cross-border transaction data 3, spotlights Singapore as a rising force in global digital commerce. With more than 60 million cross-border transactions processed during the period, the findings highlight the resilience and international relevance of Singapore businesses, particularly in high-growth verticals such as gaming, fashion, beauty, digital goods, and software.

“PayPal continues to be a trusted partner for Singapore businesses expanding globally. Our brand gives international shoppers the confidence to buy across borders, and today, one in four local businesses sell internationally with PayPal. With our secure digital payment solutions and infrastructure, even the smallest business can reach customers around the world. For example, Singapore brands are gaining traction in high-growth markets such as Mexico, particularly in the beauty and fashion sectors. With product offerings like PayPal Ads and PayPal Rewards now available in selected international markets, we’re helping local businesses grow their global customer base and build resilience in today’s dynamic trade environment. We look forward to introducing even more solutions in 2026 to further simplify international expansion for businesses,” said Matthew Lucas, Vice President and Head of Cross Border Trade at PayPal.

Top 3 Verticals with the Highest Annual Transaction Value: Gaming, Beauty, and Fashion
Singapore’s cross-border growth is being driven by three key sectors – gaming, beauty, and fashion – which together generated more than US $1.6 billion in transaction value. Gaming emerged as Singapore’s most shopped cross-border category, generating more than US$593 million in transaction value and averaging 1.7 million transactions each month. The United States (U.S.) led as the top country buying from Singapore businesses with more than 500,000 monthly purchases, followed by Germany (230,000+), Japan (175,000+), the United Kingdom (100,000+), and France (84,000+), pointing to strong demand across developed economies.

Beauty, Singapore’s second strongest lifestyle export, generated over US$411 million in transaction value and averaged 898,000 monthly transactions. Demand was concentrated in emerging trade corridors such as Mexico with over 297,000 monthly purchases, followed by the United States (25,000+), Australia (21,000+), and China (16,000+). This mix shows the global appeal of Singapore’s beauty and wellness brands, resonating well outside Asia in both niche and competitive markets.

Fashion exports reached more than US$636 million in transaction value, averaging 737,000 monthly transactions. Demand was led by the United States (230,000+ monthly purchases), Mexico (194,000+), Japan (118,000+), and Germany (18,000+). From independent labels to established names, Singapore’s fashion sector is finding loyal followings abroad across both developed economies and fast-growing corridors.

In addition to these leading lifestyle exports, Singapore businesses are also building scale in digital goods, and in computers & software. Digital goods, spanning in-app purchases, subscriptions, and digital content, generated over US$276 million in transaction value with 665,000 monthly transactions on average, led by demand from the United States (254,000+ monthly purchases), Germany (92,000+) and Canada (34,000+). Together, these figures highlight the scalability of Singapore businesses and the critical role of trusted payment infrastructure in enabling their international growth.

Diversification Beyond Traditional Corridors
While the United States remains Singapore’s largest corridor, accounting for more than US$830 million in purchases, the latest insights show that Singapore businesses are increasingly tapping into new growth beyond traditional markets. Mexico has emerged as a fast-growing destination, with more than 7 million purchases worth over US$370 million, primarily in fashion and beauty.

  • The existing Swiss and French subsidiaries maintain fully operational, focusing on preclinical and clinical development.
  • All licenses, IP rights, and ongoing R&D projects remain unchanged.

TAIPEI and LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Onward Therapeutics today announced the completion of a share exchange, under which Onward Therapeutics, Inc. (Onward Taiwan) has become the group’s global holding and headquarters, while Onward Therapeutics SA (Onward Switzerland) has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Onward Taiwan.

The group reorganization involved the exchange of all shares in the former Swiss parent company for shares in the new Taiwan entity, maintaining ownership ratios and board composition. This milestone marks a strategic step in aligning Onward’s global operations and expanding its presence across Asia and Europe. The Taiwan entity brings together Onward’s scientific and corporate teams across Taiwan, Switzerland, and France under a unified corporate structure.

Over the past six years, Onward has built a robust pipeline of four innovative programs targeting both solid and hematologic tumors, through in-licensing, acquisition, and internal discovery. The group reorganization was designed to align Onward’s corporate structure with Taiwan’s dynamic biotechnology capital market and to support the company’s long-term growth plans, including future fundraising and potential public listing.

Building on its strong base of Taiwanese and multinational shareholders, Onward aims to leverage Taiwan’s scientific excellence, robust clinical trial infrastructure, and proven capabilities in advanced biopharmaceutical manufacturing to accelerate global development programs and partnerships. Taiwan’s supportive regulatory framework and innovation-driven investment environment further reinforce Onward’s ability to pursue sustainable growth and its role as an international enterprise.

Dr. C. Grace Yeh, Founder, Chairperson and CEO of Onward Therapeutics, stated “I am very grateful for the unanimous approval of the share exchange by all shareholders. Establishing our global headquarters in Taiwan represents both a symbolic and pragmatic achievement for Onward. Taiwan combines innovation, efficiency, and connectivity, the essential elements for the next stage of our global growth. With an outstanding scientific community and a strong investor base, Taiwan provides the ideal environment for Onward to expand its mission of developing transformative cancer therapies worldwide.”

Diplomacy gets delicious: Consulate General of Italy partners with Aperol Spritz as the ‘Official Taste of Italian Summer’ Down Under

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For the first time in Australia, the Italian Consulate General has partnered with Aperol, the number one cocktail in Italy, to share the official taste of Italian summer Down Under.

 

In a stately address alongside Jacopo Borsa, Managing Director for Australia at Campari Group Consul General, Gianluca Rubagotti officially recognised the iconic orange tipple as the perfect Aperitivo companion marking the launch of Italian Summer Down Under.

To celebrate the launch of Italian Summer Down Under, the Italian Consulate invited Aussies to raise an Aperol Spritz over the weekend. Taking summer to the streets of Sydney and Melbourne, a parade of Aperol waiters descended on the two cities offering complimentary Aperol Spritzes. The waiters were spotted at popular Sydney locations like Watsons Bay, Bondi Beach and Circular Quay while in Melbourne they travelled to St Kilda Pier, Federation Square and Hozier Lane.

The Consul General, Gianluca Rubagotti said: “The aperitif is more than a drink—it’s a ritual pause between a day’s work and night’s promise. Few capture this better than the Aperol Spritz. Its magic lies not just in the glass, but in the company, – picture it paired with a plate of prosciutto crudo di Parma o San Daniele, green Castelvetrano olives, and Parmigiano-Reggiano shards drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar from Modena. From Venice to Sydney, Aperol Spritz and its culinary companions remind us that summer is best served slowly, with flavour and friends.”

Jacopo Borsa, Managing Director – Australia at Campari Group, said: “Aperol is proud to be championing this aperitivo moment by bringing over a century of heritage and Italian flair to every glass. Partnering with the Italian Consulate General marks a cultural milestone: aperitivo is no longer just a taste of Italy, it’s becoming part of the Australian summer lifestyle.”

For those looking to get a flavour of Italy this summer; slow living, long lunches, and Aperitivo culture, consider this your sign to enjoy the sun on your back and bask in the glow of Italian summer right here in Australia.
