Gorilla Technology Secures AI Government Intelligence Platform Win in Asia

Solidifies position as prime vendor for AI-based Internet Protocol Detail Record analytics in the APAC region


London, United Kingdom – Newsfile Corp. – September 8, 2025 – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today announced it has secured another major government win in APAC this year, reinforcing its position as the region’s trusted partner for AI-powered law enforcement modernisation and sovereign intelligence infrastructure. This newly awarded one-year contract is valued in the tens of millions of dollars and will enable AI-first smart policing GPU-as-a-Service for one of Asia’s most advanced national investigative bureaus responsible for high-level cybercrime and digital intelligence investigations.

Building on the momentum of its recent 5G AI Lawful Interception platform win, this project marks Gorilla’s second consecutive AI-led national enforcement deployment in 2025 alone and appoints Gorilla the prime vendor for ground-breaking AI-based IPDR (Internet Protocol Detail Record) analytics in the APAC region.

“Gorilla is delivering mission-critical security and intelligence systems to forward-thinking regions,” said Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology. “We have positioned Gorilla as a foundational AI partner in the APAC region, and we are building a strong track record in advancing AI-first national platforms across smart policing, GPU-as-a-Service data centres, cross-border intelligence, and digital forensics. As this is our second win in a fortnight, it is clear we are dominating the AI infrastructure market opportunity in APAC. This is what leadership in applied AI looks like and we are just beginning.”

The system is designed to enable national, investigative agencies to retrieve and reconstruct historical network traffic using advanced AI models-capabilities that were previously unattainable in the region’s cybercrime enforcement landscape. Gorilla will lead the delivery effort in collaboration with regional partners to ensure rapid execution and long-term scalability. Gorilla will also be focusing on AI compute scale-up, edge-cloud federation, and national model training capabilities.

The platform will deploy Gorilla’s proprietary AI inference engines, enabling authorities to mine historical digital footprints, reconstruct communication chains and identify anomalous behaviours across petabytes of network metadata. Designed for real-time decision support and post-incident forensics, the solution puts Gorilla at the heart of national cyber-resilience efforts across Asia.

“Governments across the region are no longer looking for point solutions. They are looking for long-term AI partners who can deliver scale speed and sovereign control,” said Jackie Wang, Gorilla Technology General Manager, ASIA (ex. India). “This win proves our strategy is working. That is exactly what Gorilla offers.”

Gorilla is positioned to become the market leader for AI-powered public safety and enforcement across Asia, please find more information on previously announced agreements, partnerships, and corporate milestones in the “Press Releases” section of the Company’s website, here.

•      Singapore’s iconic Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival returns with an expanded street light-up, captivating installations and festivities that honour the nation’s journey and community spirit.
•       This year’s edition pays tribute to SG60 with the theme “60 Glorious Years: Celebrating Mid-Autumn in Singapore” (辉煌六十载,月满新加坡), weaving together Singapore’s multiculturalism, cultural heritage and shared memories in a luminous celebration for all.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Singapore marks its 60th year of independence, the Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival 2025 returns with a vibrant celebration of light, heritage and community spirit. From 7 September to 20 October, Chinatown will transform into a festive precinct filled with handcrafted displays, community activities and cultural programmes that showcase our rich multiculturalism and Chinese traditions. Organised by the Chinatown Festival Committee and supported by the Kreta Ayer–Kim Seng Citizens’ Consultative Committee, this year’s edition reflects Singapore’s progress over the decades, while inviting people of all races and backgrounds to share in the joy of tradition, storytelling and togetherness.

This year’s celebration’s theme, aptly named “60 Glorious Years: Celebrating Mid-Autumn in Singapore“ (辉煌六十载,月满新加坡), brings together cherished traditions from across Singapore’s diverse communities in a festival that honours our multicultural heritage while looking towards the future. Against the backdrop of descriptive lanterns and moonlight, the celebration becomes a powerful reminder of resilience, unity and kinship that have carried the nation forward.

The Official Street Light-Up and Opening Ceremony (中秋亮灯仪式与开幕典礼) will take place on 18 September 2025 at 6:00pm at Kreta Ayer Square (牛车水广场). Mrs Josephine Teo, Minister for Digital Development and Information, Minister-in-Charge of Cybersecurity and Smart Nation Group and Adviser to Jalan Besar GRC GROs (Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng), will officiate the ceremony, alongside Dr Wan Rizal, Adviser to Jalan Besar GRC GROs (Kolam Ayer), and Mr Shawn Loh, Adviser to Jalan Besar GRC GROs (Whampoa).

Mrs Josephine Teo shared, “This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival takes on special significance as we celebrate both tradition and our nation’s 60th birthday. It is heartening to see Chinatown’s streets lit with joy and meaning and to witness how our rich multiculturalism continues to connect people of all races in Singapore. I hope this celebration brings families, friends, neighbours and visitors together in appreciation of where we’ve come from and where we are headed.”

Ms Guo Teyi, Director, Leisure Events, Singapore Tourism Board, added, “The Mid-Autumn Festival offers both locals and visitors an immersive experience of Singapore’s rich traditions and customs, made even more meaningful as we celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday. We warmly invite everyone to participate in the various activities across Chinatown and soak up the festive spirit.”

Centrepiece – A Radiant Precinct United in Celebration

At the heart of the festival is a striking 8-metre-tall centrepiece showcasing the number 60, flanked by rabbits, mooncakes, orchids and lanterns against the Singapore skyline. More than decoration, the installation is a tribute to resilience and progress. Chinatown Point’s façade complements the display with an “SG” installation, completing the SG60 tribute and reinforcing community ties.

Overhangs and Light Displays

New Bridge Road and Eu Tong Sen Street will feature a canopy of lotus flowers, fans with rabbits, jade pendants and a golden full moon, each symbol representing harmony, beauty and reunion. At Upper Cross Street, glowing moon palaces, mooncakes, orchids and golden lanterns echo the familial joy of Mid-Autumn. South Bridge Road offers a scene with Chang’e (嫦娥) rising above rooftops, surrounded by peonies, mountains, and fans.

  • From Memories to Tomorrow (回忆童年,喜迎未来): Childhood icons like the dragon playground, alongside themes of education and community.
