Guided by its “Cable Resources, PoPs, and IDCs” strategy, China Mobile provides a full range of international telecommunications services to enterprises, carriers, and mobile customers around the globe.

China Mobile has co-developed several global cooperation platforms with international partners:

• The “Hand-in-Hand Program” brings together 29 global members, covering over 3 billion mobile subscribers.
• The “iSTAR Program” connects 500 partners to support Chinese enterprises in digital globalisation.
•  The GTI International Innovation Platform has expanded to 147 members and 242 partners, fostering cross-border collaboration in 5G, 6G, and AI.

The alliance aims to forge a global digital collaboration network that fosters mutual growth, shared prosperity, and collective progress, uniting in partnership to usher in an era of ecosystem co-development.

The launch of the revamped CMobile brand and the International Ecosystem Alliance marks China Mobile’s contribution to the development of a global digital civilisation — a “Chinese Solution” for the interconnected era. Looking ahead, China Mobile will continue to advance its brand internationalisation, serving as an information connector, value enabler, and ecosystem co-builder to seamlessly link China’s leading digital technology with the vast opportunities worldwide.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Personalised experiences are what travellers are looking for today, as Trip.com Group shared strategic insights on how it is redefining the traveller’s journey through AI-powered tools at ITB Asia 2025, held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.

Focused on creating value and customised experiences for travellers, the company showcased its latest features, data insights and strategies that it is taking to shape the future of travel.

Personalising Travel Experiences and Growing Partnerships

In a panel gathering top leaders in the industry – Driving Innovation in Travel through Technology – Edmund Ong, Senior Regional Director, SEA and General Manager, Singapore, Trip.com Group, outlined how the company is staying ahead of change by harnessing AI for personalised travel experiences.

He highlighted how travellers today receive highly tailored recommendations through AI-powered tools such as TripGenie, Trip.com Group’s AI travel assistant. This has proven popular and driven an increase in bookings, as users are given recommendations that are more likely to resonate with them. Just last month, TripGenie’s traffic rose 125% year-on-year (YoY), with over 200% increase in users and conversations made.

To provide more options and greater convenience for travellers, Trip.com Group also collaborates with local players from across the industry to bring in unique offerings at every level.

Mr Ong said, “When we look at the traveller journey, we see the power of AI in enabling personalised experiences for our users who are seeking the best options at the best value. To do so, we believe that collaboration is the right way forward. It allows us to leverage the strengths of our partners to build a trusted and tailored experience for our customers from end-to-end.”

Revolutionising the Traveller’s Journey

In a deep-dive session titled – How Intelligent Personal Technology is Reshaping the Traveller’s Journey – Trip.com Group’s Senior Product Director, Amy Wei,  shared her observations on how AI can transform the travel experience into one that is personal, intelligent and anticipatory.

She explained that consumers today expect hyper-personalisation, from real-time travel inspiration to dynamic itinerary crafting. With tools like TripGenie, travellers now have an intelligent travel co-pilot that provides a simplified and frictionless overall experience.

Ms Wei said, “There is a huge change in how we interact with technology today. Generic travel searches have evolved into AI-driven discovery and natural conversations. We designed TripGenie with this in mind, re-architecting the entire traveller journey. This allows travellers to instantly turn their travel inspirations into bookable itineraries and recommendations that cater to their preferences and needs at every step.”

She highlighted how Trip.com’s intelligent Widget is the company’s first step in creating a truly ‘connected trip’ of the future for travellers. It extends AI from inside the app to the user’s phone desktop, proactively offering the right tool at the right time. This has resulted in a 30% higher 7-day app revisit rate among Widget users.

She added, “The road ahead is built not just on technology, but also trust from our users. Our ultimate goal is to make the technology so effective, reliable and intuitive that it fades into the background and allows the traveller to focus on the joy and wonder of the experience itself.”

Driving the Future of Travel

AI-driven travel is no longer a novelty but a growing trend amid the wealth of information available online. Trip.com Group’s latest report with Google found that Google search interest for “help plan my trip” grew by 190% YoY, showing a growing reliance on technology to simplify trip planning. More than just trip planning, travellers are also looking towards AI to help them during their travel journey, such as translating menus or having conversations with locals.

Through its suite of AI-powered tools, including TripGenie and the recently launched Trip.Planner travel planning hub in August, along with its commitment to service excellence and a growing network of industry partners, Trip.com Group is driving the next wave of change in travel as it continues to bring personalised and seamless experiences to every traveller.

LONDON, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CUBE, a global leader in Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM), announces the acquisition of Kodex AI, a Berlin-headquartered technology business pioneering the use of agentic AI to transform compliance and risk management across the global financial industry.

Kodex AI co-founders on stage at CUBE Connect

This acquisition marks a major milestone in CUBE’s strategy to build the third pillar of its AI platform. It adds co-worker functionality, where AI acts as a digital colleague within compliance workflows, through agentic architecture on top of CUBE’s leading compliance and risk foundations. By integrating Kodex AI’s technology, which combines fine-tuned AI models with regulatory data and knowledge graphs, CUBE will further enhance its AI-based platform, RegPlatform^TM, helping customers stay on top of evolving regulatory requirements with greater confidence and automation.

The transaction also brings exceptional new AI talent into CUBE, with Kodex AI’s experienced Berlin-based team joining the business. Recognised by Meta as one of the top European AI start-ups in 2024, Kodex AI has been at the forefront of disruptive technology innovation by applying agentic AI to regulatory use cases. Deutsche Bank was an early investor of Kodex AI, which joined the bank’s Entrepreneur in Residence Program in 2023 to develop a specialised large language model (LLM) for financial document analysis, demonstrating the precision and domain expertise of its AI technology.

CUBE’s Founder & CEO Ben Richmond, said: “Thomas and Claus have built an exceptional and disruptive European technology business, pioneering the use of agentic AI through an agent-based architecture to solve regulatory complexities. Kodex AI is a natural next step in CUBE’s strategy, allowing us to instantly deliver enhanced, AI-based compliance and risk capabilities to our global customers.”

Thomas Kaiser, Co-founder at Kodex AI, commented: “Combining Kodex AI’s technology leadership with CUBE’s market-leading regulatory and risk data is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine the compliance and risk space. This is the perfect use case for advanced AI, and together we’ll push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

CUBE currently serves 1,000 customers globally and has grown its team to more than 800 employees across 20 countries. Hg, a leading investor in European and Transatlantic software and services businesses, established a strategic partnership with CUBE in March 2024 to support continued growth and scale. This follows the acquisitions of the Thomson Reuters Global Regulatory Intelligence and Oden businesses, Reg-Room and most recently Acin, bringing together regulatory compliance and operational risk within a unified platform: RegPlatform^TM.

Thomas Martin, Director at Hg, added: “This acquisition once again highlights CUBE’s ambition and drive to change the status quo for the RegTech industry. Since inception, Ben has been driving the business to embrace the latest technology and the addition of Kodex AI will significantly boost the team’s agentic AI capabilities.”

Transaction details were not disclosed.
