Bridge Alliance lights up Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand telco API markets for enterprise innovation

By

-

SINGAPORE, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bridge Alliance, the leading mobile alliance for operators globally, has announced the most impactful expansion of its telco API ecosystem to date. It has ‘lighted up’ Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand, making telco APIs available in those markets by connecting with top local operators in each market to obtain over 90% of API market coverage.

With this milestone, enterprises and application developers in these markets will be able to build and monetise new transformative digital services powered by secure, standardised telco APIs available on the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx). These comprise silent network authentication APIs such as Number Verify and SIM Swap which enable secure and seamless verification services that are critical in the financial, retail sectors and Over-the-Top services. 

Comprehensive market coverage in Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand

By onboarding all leading operators in these markets on BAEx, Bridge Alliance will enhance API adoption by providing enterprises with consistent, seamless and interoperable access to telco APIs. They will benefit from BAEx’s unified integration, simplified commercial framework and common operational support structure.

“Lighting up key markets is a pivotal moment in our journey to democratise access to telecom network capabilities,” said Dr. Ong Geok Chwee, CEO of Bridge Alliance. “Achieving nationwide API coverage means enterprise customers and developers access can unlock new possibilities powered by telco APIs on BAEx, built on GSMA Open Gateway and CAMARA standards. This positions Bridge Alliance at the forefront of the region’s telco API ecosystem, as we embrace and promote open innovation to all operators.”

Meanwhile, the BAEx Partner Programme which was launched in June 2025 continues to welcome any operator which is keen to engage in sharing of API expertise and best practices and participate in technical workstreams. The programme aims to drive API innovation and shared progress towards API standardisation and roadmap alignment for market readiness.

Henry Calvert, Head of Networks, GSMA, said: “Asia Pacific is a market leader and innovator in the deployment of CAMARA APIs, supporting enterprise needs for digital trust, network quality and customer experience. The Bridge Alliance’s expansion marks a significant step forward for the region. It demonstrates the power of industry collaboration and sets a benchmark for how open, interoperable APIs can unlock new opportunities and fuel digital growth across Asia Pacific and beyond.”

New channel partners on board

Besides making telco APIs easily accessible in the region, Bridge Alliance is also collaborating with multiple API channel partners to accelerate enterprise adoption and developer engagement. Alibaba, Infobip and 8×8 are the latest to join forces with Bridge Alliance alongside existing channel partners to drive deeper developer engagement, ecosystem outreach, technical integration and commercialisation across specific enterprise verticals for BAEx.

Alibaba will be offering telco APIs to their enterprise customers for a seamless secure authentication solution, and address Artificially Inflated Traffic (AIT) fraud for specific markets. Infobip’s customers could leverage the telco APIs to bring layered value beyond basic authentication and will look at augmenting existing authentication with other high value API signals. Meanwhile, 8×8 will be able to offer secure multi-channel authentication and fraud prevention leveraging telco APIs to its customers.

Max Wang, Head of Cloud Communication International Business Operations, Alibaba Cloud, said, “At Alibaba, we are committed to delivering secure and seamless verification experiences for our enterprise customers. To achieve this, we’re embracing Telco APIs as a next-generation verification channel which enables direct, network-level authentication that requires no user action, while enhancing security and mitigating AIT. We’re delighted to partner Bridge Alliance to deliver this trusted, carrier-grade verification infrastructure that will create a more secure, reliable, and future-ready digital ecosystem for customers.”

Matija Razem, Chief Commercial Telecom Officer at Infobip said, “Our partnership with Bridge Alliance allows us to collaborate with telcos across the region to go to market faster and more effectively. By combining our global experience and deep local expertise with Bridge’s extensive API ecosystem over their BAEx, we are set to empower enterprises to deliver secure, seamless, and conversational experiences at scale. We are confident this collaboration will create real impact and growth for telcos and enterprises across the Asia Pacific region.”

Igor Mostovoy, Head of Product, 8×8 said, “Collaborating with Bridge Alliance advances our vision of secure, intelligent communication everywhere. By tapping into telco network signals through BAEx, 8×8 is empowering enterprises to deliver safer, more frictionless customer experiences and build greater trust in every digital interaction.”

Driving the future of open innovation in Asia

Bridge Alliance continues to reduce API adoption friction, lower integration costs and shorten time to market for adopters. Looking ahead, BAEx plans to expand into additional markets in 2026 and introduce new API categories like Know Your Customer (KYC), and fraud prevention signals. By expanding the availability of telco APIs in more markets, BAEx will help to drive open innovation and deliver more meaningful value to operators, enterprises and developers in the region.

LG Display wins two CES 2026 Innovation Awards with world-first automotive display technologies

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today that two of its world-first automotive display innovations – Dual View OLED and Under Display Camera-infrared (UDC-IR) OLED – have been recognized with CES 2026 Innovation Awards from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the organizer of CES, the world’s largest IT and consumer electronics exhibition.

LG Display wins two CES 2026 Innovation Awards with world-first automotive display technologies

Reaffirming LG Display’s leadership in next-generation automotive displays, the company was highlighted by the CTA, which selects the most groundbreaking technologies ahead of each year’s CES event. LG Display’s Dual View OLED and UDC-IR OLED were honored in the In-Vehicle Entertainment category for delivering differentiated customer value through maximizing space efficiency, superior picture quality, and high standards of safety, reliability, and durability.

Dual View OLED is the world’s first solution of its kind that allows a single automotive display to show different content depending on the viewing position – enabling a driver to view navigation information while the front passenger streams movies or other content. When installed between rear passengers, it also lets them watch separate content simultaneously, maximizing the use of limited space and facilitating greater design flexibility.

The optimized pixel structure of Dual View OLED ensures the driver’s touch operation of the navigation screen does not interfere with the passenger’s entertainment. This all means that passenger-specific, personalized in-vehicle infotainment can be implemented.

By applying a Tandem OLED device structure, this product delivers exceptional picture quality and operates reliably in extreme environments ranging from -40°C to 85°C.

Meanwhile, UDC-IR OLED, which was jointly developed with LG Innotek, is the world’s first full-screen automotive display to conceal an in-screen driver-monitoring camera. While increasing the display’s transmittance in the camera area, LG Display developed advanced algorithms making the driver-monitoring camera hole invisible, so the camera is imperceptible from the driver’s viewpoint. To ensure accurate driver monitoring, the display integrates LG Innotek’s high-resolution IR camera and image-enhancement software.

This is seen as a key technology due to global regulations moving toward mandatory driver-monitoring systems for safety. LG Display aims to lead the market by offering displays that integrate cameras seamlessly while maximizing functionality and aesthetics.

LG Display has consistently demonstrated its automotive display technological leadership, having won CES Innovation Awards for its Thin Actuator Sound Solution ahead of CES 2023 and its 57-inch Pillar-to-Pillar LCD, the world’s largest single-panel automotive display, in advance of CES 2024.

At CES 2026, LG Display will set up a dedicated booth for next-generation automotive display solutions in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), aiming to share them with top-tier automotive suppliers and equipment manufacturers.

The company also plans to unveil new large-sized OLED products at a customer-exclusive booth located at the Conrad Hotel near the main CES venue.

About LG Display

LG Display Co., Ltd. [NYSE: LPL, KRX: 034220] is the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, including thin-film transistor liquid crystal and OLED displays.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mentor List, Australia’s leading executive networking and development platform, is proud to announce the strategic acquisition of the Board Coaching Institute (BCI), a recognised leader in preparing senior executives for high-impact non-executive and board roles.

From AI governance and ESG considerations to cyber risk and heightened stakeholder accountability, the demands on directors are evolving rapidly, and executives need new skills, mindsets, and networks to succeed.

“This acquisition is about meeting the market where it’s going, not where it’s been,” said Mike Smith, Chairman of Mentor List. “We’re equipping executives with the guidance, frameworks, and networks to confidently navigate the full spectrum of leadership – from operational roles to impactful board positions.”

Founded in 2019, BCI has established itself as one of Australia’s most respected board career education providers, winning multiple international awards for innovative programs and tangible client outcomes. Its flagship Board Success programs have helped hundreds of senior leaders secure paid board appointments and enhance their influence at the board table.

Under the acquisition, BCI will continue to operate under its own brand, with founder Sally Parrish remaining as CEO. Together, Mentor List and BCI will launch a Non-Executive and Board-Level Community and Mastermind Program, designed to accelerate readiness and impact for executives stepping into, or deepening their experience in, board roles.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with Mentor List,” said Sally Parrish, CEO of BCI. “By combining BCI’s proven frameworks with Mentor List’s extensive executive network, we can prepare the next generation of directors for a more complex, dynamic world, enabling leaders to transition confidently from executive roles to meaningful board portfolios.”

The combined offering will be rolled out across Mentor List’s national membership base, creating tailored pathways for executives exploring board opportunities, first-time non-executive directors, and experienced directors seeking to sharpen their strategic impact.

This acquisition positions Mentor List at the forefront of modern executive development, not just teaching leadership, but preparing leaders for the future of governance.
