BEIJING, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Fourth China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) has launched a dedicated Supply Chain Service zone, focusing on high-value, specialized business services that support every stage of the supply chain. The zone is built around four core pillars: Blue Channel, Integrated Logistics, Comprehensive Services, and Industrial Finance.

The Blue Channel section brings together global shipping leaders—China Merchants Group, Shandong Port Group, and international carriers Maersk, MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company), and FedEx. Their exhibits show how China’s port infrastructure connects to six continents, underscoring the essential role of maritime logistics in global supply chains.

The Integrated Logistics section features a mix of Chinese and international players such as China Henan Aviation Group, YTO Express, Hebei Logistics Group, Nippon Express, and Top Ideal, presenting the full scope of multi-modal transport. Displays cover air cargo hubs, smart cold-chain systems, and China-Europe Railway Express routes, illustrating how land, sea, air and rail networks work in concert to build resilient, adaptable supply chains.

The Comprehensive Services section demonstrates how business services are advancing beyond basic logistics into knowledge-intensive offerings such as legal counsel, data analytics, carbon trading, and AI-powered export tools. Featured exhibitors include Beijing Daxing Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone, National Immigration Administration Service Center, China Carbon Emission Registration and Clearing Co., Ltd., Dun & Bradstreet, and Easy-Biz.

Organized around payments, financing, and business collaboration, the Industrial Finance section brings together China UnionPay, Visa and Mastercard to build a global payment ecosystem. The Export-Import Bank of China, alongside ICBC and Bank of Communications, shows how policy-backed lending and commercial banking can work side by side to support Chinese companies going global. PICC is presenting risk coverage for trade credit and cross-border liabilities. The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) is leading a delegation from UOB, DBS, and OCBC to spotlight the Asia-Pacific region’s growing trade finance and banking capabilities.

From ocean-going vessels to cloud-based data platforms, and from trade finance to energy transition solutions, the Supply Chain Service zone brings together leading companies from China and abroad to address a defining question of our time: how to make supply chains more resilient, smarter, and greener. This is not merely a collective showcase of companies. It offers a clear picture of China’s ongoing services sector opening and points to where the global supply chain industry is headed next.

This collaboration equips local creative talent with the monetization infrastructure, networks, and market access needed to compete globally.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Coda, a global leader in digital commerce, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indonesia’s Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency (EKRAF) aimed at accelerating the growth of Indonesia’s gaming ecosystem.

Through the partnership, EKRAF and Coda will work together to equip Indonesian game developers with the knowledge, tools, and commercial capabilities needed to scale their businesses, reach global audiences, and compete internationally. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening Indonesia’s position as a leading hub for game development and digital creativity.

The MoU builds on the existing collaboration between Coda and EKRAF. With EKRAF’s endorsement, these efforts have ranged from enhancing the capabilities of more than 70 local developers through the Global Game Jam Pre-Workshop in Jakarta, Indonesia to expanding the international reach of Indonesian-made games through Codashop, Coda’s marketplace for in-game and digital content purchases. Beyond supporting developers, Coda and EKRAF will continue to promote digital literacy and safer online gaming experiences through initiatives such as the “Guard Your Game” campaign, which helps players identify and avoid online scams.

The initiative aligns with the Government’s vision of developing a commercially driven, resilient, and internationally competitive gaming industry that can showcase Indonesian talent on the global stage.

Empowering the Next-Generation of Game Creators

Coda CEO Shane Happach said, “Indonesia is home to a vibrant and fast-growing community of game developers. While creative talent is abundant, building a successful games business requires access to the right infrastructure, networks, and commercial opportunities. Through this partnership with EKRAF, we want to help more developers navigate that journey. By expanding access to the tools, expertise, and connections needed to grow, we hope to help more Indonesian studios build sustainable businesses and reach players around the world.”

“Coda was founded in Indonesia, and we remain deeply committed to the country’s digital and creative economy. We are proud to partner with EKRAF to help the next generation of Indonesian developers build globally competitive businesses and succeed in international markets.”

Seizing Opportunities in a Rapidly Expanding Market^[1]

Indonesia’s gaming industry generated more than USD 1.1 billion in revenue in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2030, according to Niko Partners. As the market grows, the way players discover and purchase content is changing. Across Southeast Asia, 38% of mobile game revenue now comes from out-of-app payments, up from 21% just two years ago. Consumer behavior is shifting alongside it, with digital wallets used by 55% of paying mobile gamers and carrier billing used by nearly one in four. These trends highlight the growing importance of localized payment and commerce solutions that help publishers reach more players and unlock new revenue opportunities.

Through its collaboration with EKRAF, Coda aims to help Indonesian developers capitalize on these opportunities by providing the tools, expertise, and infrastructure needed to grow their businesses and reach audiences both at home and abroad.

Irene Umar, Deputy Minister of Creative Economy/Deputy Head of the Creative Economy Agency, said this collaboration is a reflection of the Indonesian Government’s commitment to supporting the growth of the national gaming industry, while reinforcing the shared commitment between the public and private sectors to build a globally competitive gaming ecosystem.

“The collaboration between Coda, Ekraf, and game developers across Indonesia is beyond a memorandum of understanding signed on paper. It is a formal step that demonstrates the seriousness and commitment between the Government and industry players like Coda.”

“For every game developer here, Indonesia is not just a country with a vast player range or a promising target market. Through strengthening this ecosystem, we want to prove that we are capable not only of winning world championships as players, but also of commanding the global market as world-class creators.”

Looking ahead, Coda and EKRAF will explore additional initiatives to support the sustainable growth of Indonesia’s digital creative industry. Together, the two organizations aim to help Indonesian creators access global opportunities while supporting the long-term growth, resilience and competitiveness of Indonesia’s gaming industry.

DALIAN, China, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions (AMNC, also known as “Summer Davos”) of the World Economic Forum was held from June 23 to 25 at the Dalian International Conference Center. Alex Yang, Co-Founder, COO, and CFO of Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA; HKEX: 2391), was invited to participate in multiple sessions, including “China’s Lobster Fever,” “AI and Future Growth,” and “Owning the Interface: Strategy in the Age of AI Agents,” where he shared his perspectives on the evolving global AI landscape and the future of innovation at scale.

Under the theme of “Innovating at Scale,” the forum convened more than 1,700 leaders and innovators from government, business, and academia across over 90 countries and regions to explore how artificial intelligence, industrial digitalization, and emerging innovation models are reshaping economic growth and technology adoption.

A New Phase of Global AI Innovation

Breakthroughs in foundation models and AI agents are accelerating the rise of artificial intelligence as a new frontier of global technological competition. China’s AI industry and technology enterprises have drawn growing international attention through rapid commercialization and extensive application scenarios. Reflecting this momentum, AI and digital transformation were among the most discussed topics at Summer Davos, with sessions exploring topics such as the boundaries of AI-first enterprises and the implications of increasingly autonomous cross-border AI agents.

Behind China’s “Lobster Fever”

The widespread adoption of AI tools was among the forum’s defining themes. During the session “China’s Lobster Fever,” Yang joined Cathy Li, Head of AI, Data and Metaverse at the World Economic Forum, and S. Alex Yang, Professor of Management Science and Operations at London Business School, to discuss the factors driving China’s rapid AI adoption and innovation.

Yang noted that China’s ability to achieve large-scale AI adoption is the result of several reinforcing advantages.

“First, the country has a vast number of developers who are actively exploring and building AI applications. Second, both individuals and businesses have demonstrated a remarkable openness for exploring and testing new technologies. More fundamentally, the strong aspiration across society for development and progress has become a powerful intrinsic driver of AI innovation.”

“At Tuya, we are dedicated to bringing AI into various real-world industry scenarios,” Yang added. “In the smart home sector, we lower the barriers to building AI-native products through standardized AI modules and an active developer community. In the energy sector, our AI solutions span the entire energy lifecycle—from generation and transmission to storage and consumption. By integrating real-time and dynamic electricity pricing data from more than 800 utility companies across Europe, our platform can intelligently optimize energy loads and help users efficiently reduce overall energy costs.”

Commenting on the commercialization of AI, Yang noted that the industry is shifting “from traditional usage-based pricing models toward an outcome-driven value-based pricing model.” He added, “For enterprises, the winners of the AI era will be those that not only adopt AI technologies early but also build AI-native organizations and talent.”

Advancing Global AI Applications Through an Open Developer Ecosystem

During Summer Davos, Yang also gave interviews to major global media outlets including CNBC, Bloomberg, and CGTN, sharing his views on the commercialization of AI applications, developer ecosystem development, and the large-scale deployment of AI hardware.

He emphasized that in an era of rapid technological change and accelerating industrial transformation, open innovation is essential to sustaining long-term competitiveness. Looking ahead, Tuya will continue to deepen its focus on AI Home, AI Energy, and AI Robot applications, working with global developers and ecosystem partners to advance AI from technological breakthroughs to large-scale deployment.

During the session “China’s Lobster Fever,” Yang joined Cathy Li, Head of AI, Data and Metaverse at the World Economic Forum, and S. Alex Yang, Professor of Management Science and Operations at London Business School, to discuss the factors driving China’s rapid AI adoption and innovation.

Yang noted that China’s ability to achieve large-scale AI adoption is the result of several reinforcing advantages.

“First, the country has a vast number of developers who are actively exploring and building AI applications. Second, both individuals and businesses have demonstrated a remarkable openness for exploring and testing new technologies. More fundamentally, the strong aspiration across society for development and progress has become a powerful intrinsic driver of AI innovation.”

“At Tuya, we are dedicated to bringing AI into various real-world industry scenarios,” Yang added. “In the smart home sector, we lower the barriers to building AI-native products through standardized AI modules and an active developer community. In the energy sector, our AI solutions span the entire energy lifecycle—from generation and transmission to storage and consumption. By integrating real-time and dynamic electricity pricing data from more than 800 utility companies across Europe, our platform can intelligently optimize energy loads and help users efficiently reduce overall energy costs.”

Commenting on the commercialization of AI, Yang noted that the industry is shifting “from traditional usage-based pricing models toward an outcome-driven value-based pricing model.” He added, “For enterprises, the winners of the AI era will be those that not only adopt AI technologies early but also build AI-native organizations and talent.”

Advancing Global AI Applications Through an Open Developer Ecosystem

During Summer Davos, Yang also gave interviews to major global media outlets including CNBC, Bloomberg, and CGTN, sharing his views on the commercialization of AI applications, developer ecosystem development, and the large-scale deployment of AI hardware.

He emphasized that in an era of rapid technological change and accelerating industrial transformation, open innovation is essential to sustaining long-term competitiveness. Looking ahead, Tuya will continue to deepen its focus on AI Home, AI Energy, and AI Robot applications, working with global developers and ecosystem partners to advance AI from technological breakthroughs to large-scale deployment.
