Seet Teck Kiang Joins as Head of Business

A seasoned transformation leader with over two decades of experience, Seet Teck Kiang brings deep expertise across Asia’s enterprise and public-sector landscapes. A graduate of the National University of Singapore, Seet has held senior positions at ThoughtWorks, EPAM Systems, and Zühlke Group, where he guided clients through platform modernisation, digital transformation, and large-scale strategic initiatives.

Seet’s appointment aligns with Zenika’s ambition to scale its AI Multiplier FrameworkTM (SHAPE × SHIP × SYNC) — a comprehensive approach that unifies product engineering, AI-boosted delivery, and cloud-native architectures to help organisations move beyond experimental AI toward sustained business value.

 “What attracted me to Zenika is its ethos of engineering excellence and its ability to bring AI, product, architecture, and operations together with real discipline ,”  Seet said. The AI Multiplier Framework is a practical and powerful way to scale AI impact, and I look forward to accelerating Zenika’s growth across Asia using this model.

Zenika also welcomes back Michael Isvy, who helped found Zenika Singapore a few years ago. Michael returns to lead the company’s Engineering and AI strategy, focusing on scaling augmented development practices, rationalising AI usage, and industrialising AI workflows to support complex, real-world delivery.

With a career shaped across two engineering cultures — France’s heritage of rigorous craftsmanship and Singapore’s fast-paced innovation ecosystem — Michael brings a rare ability to bridge teams, practices, and delivery methodologies. His new mission: transform our Singapore division into Zenika’s living lab for AI engineering, enhancing collaboration with French teams and accelerating technical excellence across the group.

 “Returning to Zenika is about reconnecting the two cultures that shaped my approach to engineering ,” Michael said. My goal is to turn our Singapore division into a true experimentation hub for AI adoption — making AI more reliable, more useful, and more accessible for our engineers and clients.

Welcoming the dual appointments, Timothée Dufresne, MD of Zenika Singapore, said:

 “Seet and Michael each bring exceptional strengths that perfectly complement Zenika’s ambitions for the next decade. Seet strengthens our business strategy and regional growth, while Michael elevates our engineering and AI capabilities. Together, they will drive the expansion and shape the next chapter of Zenika Singapore and Asia.

IEI Secures TFDA QMS Approval and ISO 13485 Certification, Reinforcing Audit-Ready Manufacturing for MedTech Design Transfers

Dual certifications streamline global design transfers and regulatory compliance.

TAIPEI, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IEI Integration Corp. (“IEI”), a global provider of medical and industrial computing platforms, today announced that its New Taipei City (Xizhi) and Qidu (Keelung) facilities have passed inspection by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) and been awarded Quality Management System (QMS) approval (Xizhi Certificate No. QMS2376、Keelung Certificate No. QMS2377), while maintaining ISO 13485:2016 certification. As one of Taiwan’s manufacturers holding both domestic and international medical QMS credentials, IEI enables OEM/ODM/CDMO clients to accelerate regulatory readiness and scale production across Asia, the United States, and Europe.

For a Europe-based Class II endoscopic device program, IEI applied a highly automated smart-factory toolset—pick-to-light material handling, X-ray component counting, and automatic visual identification—to stabilize ramp.

Xinhua Silk Road: Chinese county Dehua stages Blanc de Chine-themed exhibition in Los Angeles

BEIJING, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — After the New York leg in March 2024, the “Blanc de Chine • Porcelain from Dehua” international itinerant exhibition opened in the United States again on November 20.

Organized by southeast China county Dehua, the exhibition saw 100-plus exquisite porcelain exhibits transported from Quanzhou City, a famous node of the Maritime Silk Road, to Los Angeles to meet with American ceramic lovers.

While marveling at the prowess and superb beauty of Dehua porcelains, Fred Stehle, a U.S. visitor, said he expected there would be more chances to appreciate the Chinese porcelain art and feel the unique beauty of Chinese culture in the future.

Dehua, where porcelain-making could be dated back to around 3,700 years ago, has borne witness to formation of the local ceramic industry as early as in late Tang Dynasty, making it a hallmark of the Chinese ceramics.

Since Song Dynasty, flourishing trade along the Maritime Silk Road has helped Dehua export local porcelains, known for their jade-like texture and skillful sculpture technique, to East Asia, Southeast Asia, Northeast Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.

Nowadays, Dehua County has become one of the largest ceramic artware production and export bases in China, with its ceramic products sold to more than 190 countries and regions around the world.

Denise Menchaca, mayor of San Gabriel, said that white porcelains of Dehua had been brought historically to different places along the Maritime Silk Road, linking the oriental philosophy, tradition and stories with the western ones.

Today, Dehua white porcelain, as a symbol of harmony, has become a bridge for closer friendship and communications as well, noted Menchaca.

During a promotion event held on November 21, Fang Junqin, Party Chief of Dehua County, said Dehua would leverage the Los Angeles exhibition to expand win-win cooperation with U.S. peers in ceramic design innovation, brand co-building and industrial collaboration.

On November 21, representatives of Dehua inked MoUs for strategic cooperation with China General Chamber of Commerce – Los Angeles and Thunder International Group to help Dehua optimize cross-border supply chains and explore overseas markets.

Via joining hands with partners of different sectors, Dehua is dedicated to widening its international “circle of friends” to make “Blanc de Chine”, the shared beauty of different cultures, a carrier of people-to-people bond, added Fang.

Taiwan Smart Security Alliance Expands into Thailand with “ACI Defense: Security and Rescue”


TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 November 2025 – As Bangkok ranked the world’s most visited city in 2024, the Thai government has accelerated smart city development and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) initiative. However, challenges such as the proliferation of firearms and armed conflicts in southern Thailand have increased the country’s demand for intelligent disaster prevention and public safety solutions.

Taiwan Smart Security Alliance Expands into Thailand with "ACI Defense: Security and Rescue"

Therefore, 11 Taiwanese companies specializing in software, hardware, AIoT, big data, edge computing, geospatial data, and cloud services have integrated to form the Taiwan Smart Security Alliance, launching the joint brand “ACI Defense: Security and Rescue.” Tailored to Thailand’s market needs, the alliance offers two major categories of solutions: “Urban Monitoring” and “Disaster Prevention Simulation,” utilizing AI image analytics, cloud computing, and related technologies. Its core products include a real-time crime hotspot analysis system, a 3D disaster simulation platform, anti-terror drone surveillance, and a VR firefighting training system, all designed to provide early alerts and support emergency response for high-risk enterprises and government agencies.

To enhance brand visibility and global competitiveness, the alliance leveraged support from the Taiwanese government to launch a brand website and run social media campaigns. It also organized a B2B “Smart Monitoring and Disaster Preparedness Seminar” in Thailand, complemented by international media exposure and the establishment of a local demonstration center. These initiatives fostered collaboration with Thai system integrators to implement smart security solutions, enabling alliance members to transition from exporting single products to offering high-value integrated solutions, ultimately creating business opportunities worth approximately US$3.16 million. This achievement highlights Taiwan’s innovation strength and international expansion in the field of smart security and disaster management.
