Empowering Youth Skills Development: Neutech Group and WorldSkills International Cultivate Talent for a Digital Future

HONG KONG, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On October 13, the 2025 WorldSkills General Assembly was held in Croatia. Dr. LIU Jiren, Founder and Chair of Neutech Group, was invited to attend and sign the agreement as a WorldSkills Global Premium Partner, marking that Neutech Group has officially become the first Chinese enterprise to achieve the highest partnership level with WorldSkills.

According to the agreement, the two parties will join hands to promote the innovation of global vocational skill standards, the deepening of talent cultivation, and the enhancement of competition levels. Capitalizing on its core driving force in China’s leading software innovation, artificial intelligence, and big data technologies, and leveraging the opportunity of the WorldSkills Competition 2026 Shanghai, Neutech will provide software and hardware-related technical support for four skills: Software Application Development (formerly IT Software Solutions for Business), Software Testing, Digital Interactive Media Design, and Retail Sales.

Furthermore, Dr. Liu was invited to meet with Mr. Frances Hourant, President of the WorldSkills, and Mr. David Hoey, CEO of WorldSkills. During the talks, the two sides planned to jointly establish a Global Industrial Collaborative Innovation Center. Initiatives will include resource co-development and skills training in cutting-edge industrial technologies in regions such as Africa and Southeast Asia, aiming to bridge skill gaps across different countries and regions and empower the cultivation of top-tier skilled talent that meets the demands of the digital era’s industries.

“Neutech is honored to become a Global Premium Partner of WorldSkills. We will fully leverage the responsibility of a Chinese enterprise to deeply implement the ‘Skills China Action’ plan and advance the strategy of ‘Building a High-Quality Skilled Talent Workforce in the New Era’. Guided by the integrated Education-Healthcare-Eldercare strategy, Neutech will deeply empower education technology. We will work hand-in-hand with global partners to help bridge skill gaps across different countries and regions, provide more youth with opportunities for skills enhancement, and jointly cultivate versatile, highly-skilled talent capable of adapting to and leading the digital future.” said Chair Dr. Liu at the signing ceremony.

He mentioned that Neusoft’s industrial layout has always resonated with societal needs, actively and deeply participating in the construction of China’s digital society. Remarkable achievements have been made in fields such as healthcare, smart automotive connectivity, corporate digital transformation, smart cities, international software services, and artificial intelligence, establishing Neusoft as a leader in digital solutions spanning over 110 countries and regions worldwide. Leveraging Neusoft’s industrial background, Neutech shoulders the social responsibility of cultivating highly skilled talents in the digital era. It has invested in and established three universities, becoming a leader in digital talent education services. In response to the opportunities presented by the silver economy, Neutech proposed an innovative integrated development model of “education, healthcare, and elderly care.” Starting from the concept of “preventing aging through education” and driven by technology, the group promotes the synergistic development of education, healthcare, and wellness industries through initiatives such as urban cloud hospitals and smart elderly care platforms, creating a smart service system for urban wellness and laying a solid industrial foundation for cultivating composite skilled talents.

At the plenary session of the WorldSkills Croatian held on the 14th, Dr. Liu shared his insights on the “Role of Vocational Education and Training in Geostrategic Labor Transformation.”

In the face of educational transformations brought about by artificial intelligence, he believes that educational goals should shift toward cultivating students’ higher-order abilities—such as critical thinking, creativity, and emotional empathy. The role of teachers should transition from lecturers to collaborative guides, and AI literacy education should be integrated into the curriculum. Meanwhile, policymakers should act as “balancers of the educational ecosystem,” promoting sustainable and inclusive development of global vocational education by establishing standards, optimizing resource allocation, and deepening industry-education collaboration.

He emphasized that vocational education must closely align with industrial needs, and the integration of industry and education is the core link connecting talent and industry. As a practical example of enterprises deeply participating in talent cultivation, Neutech not only integrates real corporate demands and cutting-edge technologies into the curricula, practical training, and faculty systems of its three application-oriented universities but also digitizes and productizes its successful experiences, empowering nearly a thousand institutions. Through the co-construction of the “Belt and Road” Digital Industry College and online education platforms, it supports employees in continuously enhancing their skills. He pointed out that enterprises are not only users of talent but should also become participants in talent cultivation and co-builders of the ecosystem. Only through close collaboration between schools and enterprises and the joint development of teaching resources can the gap between industry and education be effectively bridged, unlocking the immense potential of vocational education in the era of technological transformation.

Neutech has repeatedly supported the successful organization of major international and domestic events: in 2024, it successfully supported the IT Software Solutions for Business skill at WorldSkills Lyon; in 2025, as a senior partner of the Third China Skills Competition, it provided technical support for four skills, including IT Software Solutions for Business, Smart Automotive Software Development, Software Testing, and Digital Interactive Media Design, achieving zero-fault operation. In the upcoming WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, Neutech will continue to provide technical support for four competitions: Software Application Development (formerly Business Software Solutions), Software Testing, Digital Interactive Media Design, and Retail Sales. This will fully demonstrate Neutech’s comprehensive capabilities in hosting international skills competitions and providing technical services, contributing to the integrated competition positioning goals of “hosting competitions, participating in competitions, promoting industry, and nurturing talent.”

The conference attracted approximately 400 policymakers, experts, scholars, and industry leaders from around the world to discuss how technology, vocational education, and training can drive the cultivation of skilled talents in an era of rapid change and transformation. WorldSkills International, formerly known as the “International Vocational Skills Training Organization” initiated by Spain and Portugal in 1950, is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. As of March 2025, it has 89 member countries and regions. As a non-governmental international organization, its core mission is to enhance the vocational skill levels of youth and trainers through collaboration among members. By organizing the “WorldSkills Olympics”—the WorldSkills Competition held every two years—it communicates the value of skills for economic and social development globally and encourages youth to pursue skills-based careers.

Storyblok unveils CMS innovations that enable brands to stay visible and confident on the new web

With these new features and partnerships, brands can keep their content healthy and fully understand how its performing so they can win in the new AI-powered buyers journey

NEW YORK and AMSTERDAM, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the start of JoyConf, Storyblok’s first-ever conference, the company announced new product features and partnerships that support its mission to be the headless CMS that enables marketers and developers to create with joy and succeed in the AI-driven content era.

Dominik Angerer, CEO and Co-Founder of Storyblok
Dominik Angerer, CEO and Co-Founder of Storyblok

Dominik Angerer, CEO and Co-Founder of Storyblok, said: “The web looks a lot different than it did even a few months ago. Now people trust AI more than your website. Search traffic is down, zero-click AI answers are up, and brands are still in shock about how fast the rules have been rewritten. The focus used to be on publishing as much content as possible, but now all of that unmanaged content debt is backfiring. Outdated and irrelevant content can be used as a source of truth in AI answers to misrepresent a brand, decrease its authority, and end the buyer’s journey before it even begins.

“The good news is that the product features and partnerships we’re unveiling for content operations and observability give brands a new playbook for success. Now they will feel more confident about their content than ever before at a time when AI search is the new front door to your brand.”

Storyblok Strata: See everything, solve anything (Available next year)

Storyblok already understands content based on its context. With Strata, companies will have access to that intelligence and more through a vector data layer that makes content transparent and understandable in entirely new ways. Strata analyzes your content and builds a vector database that adds meaning and connection to every piece of content in Storyblok.

With this enhanced content foundation, brands can quickly identify and eliminate content debt, create new content that’s on brand, improve AI access and understanding, and deliver personalization at scale. Strata will also power new and enhanced use cases where content is critical, such as customer support that’s relevant, accurate, and immediate.

Storyblok FlowMotion: Your content on autopilot (Available in Q1)

Changing a piece of content often leads to a series of manual steps that need to be completed for the task to truly be complete. FlowMotion is the new automation and integration layer inside Storyblok that connects your content with your entire tech stack. Now you can visually design intelligent content workflows and orchestrate AI agents that handle the repetitive work for you.

FlowMotion is powered by n8n and integrates with 500+ of the most popular enterprise tools and platforms.

Partnerships to enhance content delivery and observability

During the keynote, two partnerships were announced that make it easier for companies to deploy content and measure its visibility in AI search:

  • Netlify – Customers can now manage content in Storyblok and instantly deploy it worldwide with Netlify’s AI-native web platform. This partnership combines Storyblok’s content management with Netlify’s build, deploy, and global edge network—giving teams a faster, more secure, and scalable way to deliver digital experiences.
  • OtterlyAI – With this partnership, customers can use OtterlyAI alongside Storyblok to monitor how their content performs in multiple AI search engines against their competitors, and discover how they can optimize it to improve their AI search visibility. OtterlyAI currently supports ChatGPT, Google Gemini, AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Copilot, and Perplexity.

Tools to strengthen content operations

The following tools were introduced to make content management smoother from beginning to end:

  • Enterprise Content Planner (Q4) – Track all of your scheduled content releases
  • Global Asset Library (Q1) – Upload assets once and use them across all of your projects and spaces
  • Environment Spaces (Q1) – Safely manage content across development, testing, staging, and live environments
  • Figma Connect – Easier and faster component creation from Figma designs
  • Storyblok React Native Live from Virgin Media O2 (Q4) – VMO2 achieved multimillions in savings by switching to Storyblok and wanted to bring its live visual preview to React Native so content can be previewed directly on mobile devices. They built the solution and are open sourcing it for the Storyblok community to use.

“All of these announcements contribute to making Storyblok the single source of truth for all of your content,” added Angerer. “Content is critically important, just like your data. It’s no longer about the quantity of your content, but the quality. When you trust that your content is healthy, you can trust that it’s representing you well in AI search and every other channel you care about.

“And the structured, headless approach to content that we’ve had since the very beginning means that your content is ready to be visible and succeed no matter what happens next. It’s why you can start thinking of your CMS as your Confidence Management System.”
