COLOGNE, Germany, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At gamescom 2025, the world’s largest and leading event for computer and video games, Tencent Cloud and WeTest—Tencent’s professional mobile game testing solution—have entered into a strategic partnership with Voodoo, the global mobile game publisher and leader in hyper-casual and hybrid-casual games. The collaboration enables Voodoo to maintain fast paced development while delivering high-quality releases that captivate players.

Headquartered in Paris, Voodoo has transformed the hyper-casual and emerged as a pioneer in the hybrid-casual genre, combining simple yet compelling game mechanics with rapid publishing cycles and a data-driven approach. With titles such as Block Jam 3D, Mob Control, Paper.io 2 and Hole.io, Voodoo reaches hundreds of millions of players globally and consistently tops mobile app store charts.

Meeting the Challenges of Hyper-Casual and Hybrid-Casual Gaming
Hyper-casual and hybrid-casual success depends on two things: speed and flawless player experiences. Voodoo’s market leadership relies on developing and launching a high volume of games within extremely tight timelines, requiring an agile and robust quality assurance process to catch and resolve issues quickly.

Key demands include:

• Ultra-Fast Development and Iteration: Rapid development cycles demand testing processes that can keep pace with fast-moving production cycles.
• Core Gameplay Quality: Even minor functional issues—such as unresponsive controls, inaccessible rewards, or misaligned user interface elements—can quickly undermine player experience and lead to user churn.
• Ad Monetization Stability: Ads must load, display, and close smoothly on all devices.
• Comprehensive Device Compatibility: Games must perform flawlessly across a broad range of devices and operating systems, including low- and mid-tier devices.

How the Partnership Delivers Value
To meet these needs, WeTest’s specialists designed hundreds of bespoke test cases covering the entire player journey—from login and tutorials to advanced validation of ad interactions, rewarded video ads and in-app purchases. Leveraging its extensive real-device testing infrastructure, WeTest conducted functional and compatibility assessments across a wide spectrum of Android and iOS devices.

For every identified issue—such as rewarded videos not playing on certain models, overlapping interface elements, or unresponsive buttons—WeTest provided detailed reports including clear descriptions, step-by-step reproduction guides, screenshots, videos and relevant logs. This allowed Voodoo’s developers to resolve problems rapidly, without slowing release schedules.

For advanced features, Voodoo provided test accounts, enabling WeTest experts to validate gameplay and monetisation features, fully supporting the studio’s agile workflows.

By enhancing and streamlining the testing process for every launch, WeTest empowered the studio to maintain rapid release schedules, strengthen player retention, improve app store ratings, and reinforce its position as a global hyper-casual and hybrid-casual gaming leader.

Fred Sun, General Manager of Europe, Tencent Cloud International, said, “Tencent Cloud is excited to support Voodoo’s pursuit of both excellence and speed in hyper-casual and hybrid-casual gaming. By combining our global cloud infrastructure with WeTest’s professional expertise, we empower Voodoo to deliver flawless, engaging experiences to millions of players worldwide. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with innovative partners like Voodoo as we continue to raise the standard for mobile gaming quality and reliability on a global scale.”

Benjamin Robert, Technical Director on Block Jam 3D at Voodoo, said, “At Voodoo, our top priority is delivering simple, fun, and seamless gaming experiences. Partnering with Tencent Cloud and WeTest allows us to streamline quality assurance, resolve compatibility challenges swiftly and focus on what we do best- creating chart-topping games for players everywhere. We’re excited to see what we can achieve together in player satisfaction and operational efficiency.”

SINGAPORE, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Asia Bio Innovation Summit 2025 is one of the premier industry-focused events in Asia and focus on the hottest topics of ADC and CGT. Asia Bio Innovation summit 2025 Singapore brought together 30+ world-class Speakers, 10+ Exhibitors and 200+ Attendees from regulatory authority, big pharma, biotech, academia, CXO and etc, to harness the full potential of ADC and Cell & Gene Therapy across 2 days of content.

Dual Engines of Innovation: ADC and CGT Drive Global Collaboration

The summit spotlighted antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and cell and gene therapies (CGT), fostering in-depth discussions through keynote presentations and panel discussions to address critical challenges and solutions from bench to bedside. Among the highlights, Dr. Mingyu Liu, Senior R&D Scientist at Biosyngen, delivered a keynote titled “Next-Generation TIL Therapies: Challenges and Strategies”, outlining key bottlenecks and future directions in tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy development.

Four major Challenges for Next-Gen TIL Therapies

Dr. Liu emphasized that while TIL therapy has demonstrated unique potential in certain cancers — such as advanced melanoma and cervical cancer—its efficacy in other solid tumors remains to be further unlocked. He detailed Biosyngen’s strategic approach to overcoming these hurdles:

High-Efficiency TIL Expansion Process – Enabling robust TIL expansion not only from surgical resection samples but also from biopsy samples, while preserving high antitumor activity. This addresses the challenge of obtaining surgical samples from late-stage cancer patients. Additionally, both primary tumor samples and final cell products can be cryopreserved, eliminating logistical constraints.

Enhancing Memory T Cell Populations – Through proprietary rapid expansion protocols, Biosyngen has achieved an 8-fold increase in central memory T cells (TCM) within the final product while maintaining optimal CD8⁺ T cell ratios, which are critical for durable therapeutic effects.

Gene Editing to Augment TIL Functionality – Utilizing a lentiviral transfection system, Biosyngen ensures stable genetic modification of TILs, enhancing their persistence antitumor activity in vivo, with a transduction efficiency exceeding 50%.

Tumor Antigen-Specific T Cell Enrichment – By leveraging specific biomarkers or selective expansion techniques, Biosyngen enriches antigen-specific T cells, thereby improving clinical response rates.

From Singapore to China: Asia’s Biopharma Innovation Ecosystem Gains Momentum

Following the successful conclusion of the Singapore summit, the Chengdu and Shenzhen editions will take place in late August, focusing on regional biopharma policies, innovation ecosystem development, and industry-academia collaboration. A prevailing consensus among experts is that ADC and CGT technologies will serve as key drivers of oncology innovation over the next decade. With its dynamic R&D landscape, vast market potential, and strong policy support, Asia is rapidly emerging as the new global powerhouse for biopharmaceutical breakthroughs.

By facilitating cross-border knowledge exchange and cutting-edge technology sharing, the Asia BIO Innovation Summit has not only strengthened global collaboration but also injected fresh momentum into the leapfrog development of Asia’s biopharma industry.

• Swift IPO Process Amid Global Market Slowdown – Demonstrating Proven Competitiveness
• Business Expansion Driven by Proprietary Platform ‘NetsPresso®’ with 160% CAGR Over the Past Four Years

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nota AI, a company specializing in AI model compression and optimization, announced today that it has submitted its Securities Registration Statement to Korea’s Financial Services Commission, making the official start of its KOSDAQ IPO process.

Through this IPO, Nota AI plans to offer a total of 2,916,000 shares at an expected price range of 7,600 to 9,100 KRW per share, raising approximately 22.2 to 26.5 billion KRW. The institutional investor book-building is scheduled for September 12–18, followed by the public subscription period on September 23–24. Mirae Asset Securities is acting as the lead underwriter.

Despite a slowdown in the Korean IPO market and a sharp decline in new filings since recent regulatory changes took effect in July, Nota AI’s timely submission stands out. The move underscores the company’s strong business performance and a clear growth vision, proceeding according to plan and drawing significant attention from the market.

Founded in 2015, Nota AI has built its business around its proprietary AI model optimization platform, NetsPresso®, which enables high-performance AI models to run efficiently on resource-constrained edge devices. The platform automates the complex processes of model optimization and deployment, significantly reducing development and operational costs. Nota AI has achieved multiple commercial deployments through partnerships with leading global AI semiconductor companies such as NVIDIA, Samsung Electronics, Arm, Qualcomm, Sony, and Renesas.

In addition, Nota AI has successfully commercialized NVA (Nota Vision Agent), the first generative AI-powered intelligent video surveillance solution in Korea. NVA goes beyond simple object detection to recognize relationships between objects, detect procedural violations, and identify complex risk factors in real time. It is deployed across various sectors, including industrial safety, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), retail, and surveillance. Notable projects include a contract with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority in April and deployment at Kolon Industries’ Gimcheon Plant 2 in July.

Alongside these achievements, Nota AI’s technology-driven business model has also entered a stable growth trajectory, fueling rapid revenue expansion. The company recorded 480 million KRW in revenue in 2021, 2.01 billion KRW in 2022, 3.58 billion KRW in 2023, and 8.44 billion KRW in 2024, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 159.7%.

Myungsu Chae, CEO of Nota AI, said, “In a challenging IPO environment with tightened listing requirements, submitting our Securities Registration Statement as planned underscores our proven profitability and solid mid-to-long-term growth vision. With the proceeds from this IPO, we will further enhance our technology and accelerate our global expansion, solidifying our leadership in AI compression and optimization, while driving widespread adoption of AI across industries.”

Since establishing overseas subsidiaries in Berlin (2020) and Sunnyvale, California (2022), Nota AI has rapidly expanded into key global markets, including the Middle East, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Nota AI’s global competitiveness has also been recognized by CB Insights, which named it to the AI 100: Most Promising AI Startups list in 2025. Just last month, in July 2025, Nota AI was selected as one of five final elite teams in the Ministry of Science and ICT’s AI foundation model development project, in collaboration with Upstage, further accelerating its work on proprietary AI foundation models.
