Hosted at the Open Source Pavilion, co-organized by the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), TiDB and Yincubator, the event spotlighted how open-source innovation is shaping the next era of scalable, regulation-aware AI adoption in financial services.

Singapore’s Strategic Role as a Global Open Source AI Hub

The launch of the Global Open Source AI Hub was officiated by Guest-of-Honour, Mr Tan Kiat How, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, on 14 November, where he underscored Singapore’s continued commitment to strengthening the global open-source ecosystem.

Singapore’s emergence as a Global Open Source AI Hub reflects its unique strengths of neutrality, trust, and interoperability. With its pro-innovation governance, robust digital infrastructure, and strong legal foundations, Singapore provides an environment where global collaboration on open source can thrive. The Hub represents a key strategic contribution to the global AI ecosystem, serving as a neutral platform where policy, technology, and community can converge to build transparent, inclusive, and regulation-ready AI systems.

Three Pillars of the Open Source AI Hub: Talent, Community, and Commercialization

The Open Source AI Hub aims to advance open innovation through three core focus areas:

Talent: Partnering with academia and industry to build learning, certification, and reskilling programs that connect open-source contributions to real-world careers.
Community: Strengthening collaboration across regulators, developers, and enterprises to shape shared standards for responsible AI.
Commercialization: Turning open-source innovation into real-world adoption through trusted governance, high-value use cases, and cross-border data collaboration.

From Vision to Action

Yincubator introduced the Born Global Package at the event — a practical pathway built on its proven Full-Stack Globalization framework to accelerate AI-native and open-source startups from Singapore. It provides one-stop incorporation and IP domiciling, access to IMDA programs, global talent pipelines, open-source ecosystem connections, and B2B market acceleration supported by Yincubator’s investor network. “It is the first ‘Global Passport’ enabling startups to land, grow, and lead globally from Singapore,” said Gavin Gui, Partner at Yincubator.

Open Source and the Future of Financial AI

The newly launched report, developed by TiDB in collaboration with industry partners, explores how open-source technologies can enable scalable and regulation-aware AI adoption amid increasing global policy fragmentation. It calls for a new playbook that integrates scalable workloads, open infrastructure, workforce evolution, and governance frameworks aligned with evolving regulatory standards.

Cynthia Ding, Advisor to the Board, Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) said,

“The fintech sector has made remarkable progress in adopting AI, but the real challenge now lies in achieving regulatory alignment. Open source provides a foundation for transparency, interoperability, and shared governance. Through the Open Source Pavilion, we have seen how collaboration between developers, financial institutions, and regulators can close the gaps that currently slow down AI deployment.”

Max Liu, Co-founder and CEO of TiDB, added,

“We are honoured to collaborate with Yincubator and SFF to share our findings. Our research highlights that while AI’s promise is immense, realizing it requires systems that are regulation-aware by design. Open-source infrastructure enables precisely that, helping institutions scale responsibly, comply effectively, and innovate without compromise.”

Building a Connected Future

The Open Source AI Pavilion Showcase concluded the event with live demonstrations from contributors and companies across the ecosystem.

With over 70,000 policymakers, technologists, and industry leaders from 130 countries in attendance, SFF 2025 reaffirmed Singapore’s leadership in fostering global collaboration on responsible innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable finance.

OutSystems Agent Workbench Accelerates Enterprise Agentic AI Adoption

Pioneers like Thermo Fisher, Axos Bank, and Ascot Insurance have more than 5,500 AI agents in development, delivering measurable efficiency gains and optimizing workflows

SINGAPORE, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OutSystems, the leading AI-powered low-code development platform, today announced strong early momentum for Agent Workbench, its enterprise-grade platform for building and orchestrating intelligent AI agents across data sets, workflows, or systems. Following its general availability launch on September 30, enterprises across industries are already using Agent Workbench to accelerate agentic transformation, moving from pilots to production and orchestrating multi-agent workflows with built-in human oversight that delivers measurable business outcomes.

As showcased during today’s OutSystems ONE World Tour Miami conference, Agent Workbench is experiencing impressive growth, with more than 5,500 agents in development. A fast-growing community of nearly 1,500 certified developers is already building enterprise-grade agentic applications with Agent Workbench.

“The enterprise AI race isn’t won by faster experiments; it’s won by building trusted AI-powered systems that scale,” said Woodson Martin, CEO of OutSystems. “With Agent Workbench, enterprises are building an agentic future that connects data, managing the full agent lifecycle, and orchestrating human-AI collaboration to transform how work gets done and deliver unprecedented business value. The early momentum we’re seeing proves that enterprises are ready to move beyond experimentation and deploy AI that truly performs at scale.”

From Pilots to Production: Enterprises Are Going Live with Agentic AI

  • Axos Bank is using Agent Workbench to accelerate operational efficiency and automate critical internal workflows. The team developed an intelligent log analysis agent that interprets error logs and provides real-time recommendations, reducing the need for manual analysis. They also built an automated document mapping agent to improve accuracy and eliminate repetitive data entry tasks.
  • Thermo Fisher Scientific is transforming its customer operations with a Customer Escalation Agent built in Agent Workbench. The solution interprets unstructured data from customer interactions to automate triage and accelerate resolution, reducing manual intervention and improving time to resolution.
  • Ascot Insurance is leveraging Agent Workbench to instantly assess critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within their “Avail Claims” system. Where traditional systems fail to read unstructured data, the new workflow utilizes AI to intelligently interpret agent activity logs and notes to accurately determine KPI status—data previously inaccessible without Agent Workbench.
  • MAGnet Auctions developed an AI agent within OutSystems to dramatically streamline the vehicle entry quality assurance process. The agent automatically identifies and reads odometer photos, comparing the detected mileage against the database record to flag potential discrepancies. By introducing this intelligent automation, MAGnet reduced the number of photos requiring manual human review by over 90%, delivering significant cost savings, improved data accuracy, and an enhanced customer experience. The initiative also enabled the reallocation of human resources from repetitive QA tasks to higher-value work — a clear example of how agentic AI can transform operational efficiency.

“Our work with OutSystems on Agent Workbench is a significant step in our AI strategy. We’re expanding the use of AI capabilities within OutSystems to realize immediate gains, without needing to invest in specialized AI roles,” said Kevin Hearn, SVP, Head of Consumer Bank Development at Axos Bank. “With Agent Workbench, we can quickly and safely create agents for specific use cases, such as analyzing error logs and automating data entry from documents. By creating and embedding agents into our operations, we are building a more intelligent and responsive banking ecosystem that is ready for the future of finance.”

An Open Ecosystem: Deploying Agents Where Work Happens
OutSystems is building an open agentic ecosystem that allows enterprises to deploy AI agents across critical workflows and lets enterprises plug in any LLM and put it to work where it matters.

Connect a model once in Agent Workbench and reuse that connection across multiple agents and applications without rewrites or reconfiguration. With support for Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Cohere, Mistral, Databricks, AI2, IBM watsonx, Vertex AI custom models, and Hugging Face open source options, teams can route, mix, or swap models per use case to balance accuracy, cost, and latency while staying flexible as the AI landscape evolves.

On top of this open LLM layer, teams can tap into a fast-growing library of ready-to-use agents and agentic applications for the systems where work happens every day:

  • Productivity and scheduling platforms such as Google Calendar, where smart schedulers create meetings, set agendas, and capture follow-ups.
  • Collaboration and knowledge systems like Confluence, and Notion, where agents post updates, summarize channels, and send reminders to accelerate decision-making.
  • Work management tools including Trello, Asana, Monday.com, and Jira, where agents automate intake, create or update tasks, assign owners, and track progress.

As part of its mission to make enterprise AI adoption accessible, OutSystems has trained and certified nearly 1,500 AI developers on the Agent Workbench platform, enabling organizations to rapidly scale their agentic capabilities. As OutSystems expands its global enablement programs, enterprises are encouraged to onboard their AI developers before the end of 2025.

Agent Workbench is now generally available worldwide. To learn more about how enterprises are using agentic AI to drive innovation, visit the OutSystems Agent Workbench homepage.

Silk Road International Arts Festival Bringing Global Voices Together Through Culture

XI’AN, China, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This is a news release from the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism: As the strains of Nessun Dorma from Puccini’s Turandot filled the Shaanxi Grand Theatre on the afternoon of November 9, the curtain fell on the 11th Silk Road International Arts Festival—a 25-day celebration that transformed the ancient capital into the epicenter of global cultural exchange.

Hosted by the Shaanxi Provincial Government and co-organized by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and the Xi’an Municipal Government, the festival painted a modern portrait of East-West dialogue at one of the world’s most historic crossroads.

Between October 16 and November 9, Xi’an welcomed over 1,900 artists from 84 countries and regions, staging more than 60 performances and 30 cultural events attended by 80,000 in-person visitors. Online broadcasts reached audiences well into the hundreds of millions.

This year, China’s new 240-hour transit visa-free policy permits eligible travelers to enter China through Xi’an Xianyang International Airport and stay in Shaanxi for up to six days without securing a visa in advance. Festival officials noted a marked rise in international attendees—artists, tourists, and cultural delegations—who routed through Xi’an en route to third destinations, taking advantage of the city’s increasingly open gateway to the world.

For the first time, architectural works from the Politecnico di Milano were featured, signaling deeper cooperation between China and Italy in design and visual arts. Artists embraced cross-cultural creation with enthusiasm: an Argentine painter composed poems for his pieces inspired by Chinese aesthetics; Russian artists integrated the Chinese character “福” (fortune) into their oil paintings as a blessing for the Silk Road.

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Clarinet Quintet introduced American chamber music traditions, while Broadway and London’s West End talent headlined a star-studded musical gala.

“It’s not just an exhibition,” one Slovenian artist commented. “It’s a conversation between people, and between ideas.”

The China–Central Asia joint exhibition, displaying over 100 representative works across painting, silk art, and intangible heritage, invited audiences to witness the shared beauty found amid cultural differences.

The 11th Silk Road International Arts Festival stood as a compelling testament to the power of culture to connect civilizations. The Silk Road, once defined by caravans and distant horizons, now shines anew — illuminated by creativity, shared humanity, and the enduring power of cultural exchange.
