Hi-tech Agriculture Summit – AgriS Agro Day 2025: Comprehensive Synergy, Elevating the Agriculture of the Future – was hosted by the People’s Committee of Tay Ninh Province, co-hosted and co-organized by AgriS (Thanh Thanh Cong – Bien Hoa JSC, HOSE: SBT), in collaboration with Nong Lam University Ho Chi Minh City. The event aimed to create a strategic platform to connect visions, share knowledge, and activate action toward developing a hi-tech, sustainable agricultural sector.


AgriS | AgriS Agro Day 2025 Quick Recap

A Strategic Forum for Hi-tech, Circular Agriculture

The strong global agricultural transformation presents not only challenges but also opportunities for Vietnam to define its own development path – modern, sustainable, and globally integrated. In this journey, Tay Ninh – one of the most dynamic agricultural economic centers in the South – has been affirming its role with clear vision, policies, and strategic orientation.

In his opening remarks,  Mr. Nguyen Minh Lam, Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Tay Ninh Province, emphasized: “Today’s conference marks a new milestone, affirming Tay Ninh’s determination to lead in implementing the Party and State’s Resolutions on ‘Innovation – Application of Science and Technology – Digital Transformation’ in modern agriculture, toward green, sustainable development and deep international integration.”

The four key Resolutions issued by Vietnam’s Politburo for the 2024–2025 period (No. 57, 59, 66, 68) form a unified framework of strategic thinking and action for national development in the era of transformation. AgriS Agro Day 2025 opened with the keynote “Potential and Vision for Vietnam’s Agriculture, Breakthrough Policies in Agricultural Technology, and the Role of the Private Sector,” in which Prof. Dr. People’s Teacher Tran Duc Vien, Chairman of the Vietnam National University of Agriculture, called for sector-wide restructuring, stronger R&D, greater private investment, and an innovative, globally competitive ecosystem.

That afternoon, three thematic panels built on this vision with practical, long-term solutions to enhance the value of Vietnamese agricultural products and strengthen Vietnam’s leadership in the global value chain, featuring experts from government agencies, international organizations, leading universities, and major enterprises.

The Agtech Panel highlighted that digital transformation and standardized data are prerequisites for rebuilding a sustainable agricultural value chain. The Foodtech Panel emphasized that processing technology and standardization are key tools to transform Vietnamese agricultural products from “raw materials” into “high-value-added products” for international markets. The Fintech Panel explored how to design data-based financial infrastructure, chain credit scoring, and green capital products to channel funds to the right place at the right time, creating economic leverage for a circular agricultural economy.

Linking Theory to Practice – A Call for Comprehensive Synergy Among the Five Stakeholders

As co-host and co-organizer of the Hi-tech Agriculture Summit – AgriS Agro Day 2025, AgriS, a leading Vietnamese hi-tech agriculture enterprise, with its 56-year journey, takes pride in being a pioneer in building a circular agricultural ecosystem integrating Agtech, Foodtech, and Fintech with ESG standards. Demonstrating its commitment to working alongside the Government, the scientific community, partners, and international organizations to advance a Green Economy, Digital Technology, and Sustainable Development, Ms. Dang Huynh Uc My – Chairlady of AgriS – presented the Project: Modernization and Digitalization of Agriculture based on ESG and Datafication for 2025–2030.

With two main focuses – Digitalizing and modernizing agricultural production through the AgriBrain and DigiFarm systems; and building a National Agricultural Data Framework – AgriS aims to create a hi-tech, transparent, and standardized agricultural sector. The site visit to the Demo Farm Ninh Dien, the Agricultural Research Institute, and the TTCS factory operated by AgriS, along with the interactive Agtech – Foodtech – Fintech exhibition, showcased an innovative agricultural practice model, consistently operated under ESG standards that AgriS has implemented for many years.

More than half of a century of development, AgriS has partnered with the “Five Stakeholders” through practical projects, creating a strong foundation for new commitments. This year’s Summit saw the signing of MOUs with strategic partners, including the Vietnam Institute of Advanced Technology, K-Best Research Group (Korea), Farmacist and Mort&Co (Australia), the Ho Chi Minh City Food and Foodstuff Association, and the Vietnam Coconut Association. These agreements reinforce the “Five Stakeholders” cooperation model – the “golden key” to driving breakthroughs in Vietnam’s hi-tech agriculture through shared responsibility, work, benefits, and growth.

In her closing remarks, Ms. Dang Huynh Uc My called: “AgriS does not walk alone. We are expanding our journey with the synergy of the ‘Five Stakeholders,’ built on the three pillars of Agtech, Foodtech, and Fintech, and an ESG foundation, to create a circular, multi-value agricultural ecosystem rooted in technology and ensuring fair and shared benefits.”

AgriS Agro Day 2025 has successfully established a strategic platform and clear action roadmap. An agriculture sector that deeply applies technology, closely links all stakeholders, and places farmers at the center of transformation is the path for Vietnam to rise strongly – from a “supplier of raw materials” to a “creator of value” on the global agricultural map.

J SPORTS Teams Up with TVU to Boost Live Sports Coverage in Japan

Japan’s Premier Sports Network Deploys Advanced Remote Production Technology for Enhanced Multi-Sport Broadcasting

CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Japan’s leading sports network J SPORTS has deployed four TVU RPS One remote production systems, revolutionizing live broadcast workflows across Rugby League One, Super GT racing, and university competitions. This strategic partnership addresses expanding coverage demands while elevating production quality.

J SPORTS Teams Up with TVU to Boost Live Sports Coverage in Japan
J SPORTS Teams Up with TVU to Boost Live Sports Coverage in Japan

Growing audience expectations for seamless, multi-camera live sports broadcasts required professional-grade results without traditional infrastructure constraints. J SPORTS found their solution in TVU’s RPS One system, delivering fully synchronized multi-camera feeds with low latency across four HD channels with complete HDR support over IP networks. Frame-accurate synchronization ensures tight camera alignment—critical for live sports coverage standards.

The RPS One extends beyond basic video transmission, offering comprehensive Remote Integration (REMI) functionality that transforms broadcast workflows. The system supports tally, bi-directional IFB, intercom systems, return program video, CCU control, and PTZ robotic camera control, enabling complete remote production rivaling on-site setups. Innovative VLAN tunnel technology allows field IP devices to virtually connect to studio LANs, seamlessly integrating REMI features while eliminating communication system complexity.

The RPS One adopts TVU’s latest ISX multi-network aggregation transmission protocol, a key factor in ensuring reliable transmission. ISX delivers ultra-low sub-second latency and provides unparalleled transmission stability through advanced algorithms that dynamically adjust to network conditions. Six integrated 5G modems work alongside this technology to ensure reliable performance. Combined with TVU’s Command Center platform, production teams gain comprehensive remote control, dramatically reducing on-site staff requirements.

The system offers compelling economic advantages over traditional outside broadcast systems. Its compact design and scalable architecture enable high-quality production for smaller regional events, expanding coverage without proportionally increasing logistics expenses.

J SPORTS envisions broad applications across their portfolio, from high-speed motorsports to challenging winter sports. This flexible, centralized production approach leverages complete REMI capabilities while positioning J SPORTS for continued growth in Japan’s competitive sports broadcasting landscape.

For TVU, the deployment signals growing momentum in the Japanese market. “We’re excited to see RPS One being deployed in such a diverse range of sports,” said Rick Asahina, Sales Director for TVU Japan. “It’s rewarding to support a broadcaster like J SPORTS that’s always pushing to innovate and improve the viewing experience.”

Insternity Group, Myint Mo Shyan, and MyanLife Partner with KBZ Foundation to Support Mandalay’s Post-Earthquake Reconstruction with Modular Building Technology

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2025 – In March of this year, a powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck the Mandalay region of Myanmar, causing severe casualties and widespread destruction. In response to this emergency, Singapore-based Insternity Group Pte Ltd swiftly partnered with local Myanmar enterprises Myint Mo Shyan and MyanLife to provide immediate relief through modular building technology. This joint initiative, executed in collaboration with the KBZ Foundation, fully demonstrates a firm commitment to social responsibility and long-term community support.

The photo shows the completed modular houses, which are now occupied as offices. From left to right at the donation ceremony are: Barbie Tsai (CEO of Insternity Group), Saw Dino Ku (MD of Myint Mo Shan), U Aung Ko Win (Chairman of KBZ Group), and U Nyo Myint (Vice-Chairman of KBZ Group).

Innovative Modular Housing: A Fast, High-Quality Solution for Reconstruction

Insternity Group and Myint Mo Shyan have long been advocates for sustainable and socially impactful architecture. As Myanmar’s only one-stop lifestyle platform combining e-commerce with food, travel, and other discount vouchers, MyanLife has a long history of dedication to philanthropy and is committed to enhancing local leisure experiences. Following the disaster, the three parties immediately launched their relief efforts. In Mandalay, the application of modular construction allowed for the rapid deployment of offices and residential units, which played a crucial role in restoring infrastructure and maintaining the continuity of services in the affected areas.

In the initial phase, Insternity Group and Myint Mo Shyan constructed modular offices and dormitories for the KBZ Foundation to ensure uninterrupted operations. MyanLife, leveraging its extensive charitable experience, helped coordinate relief resources and assess community needs, ensuring that reconstruction efforts precisely addressed the actual needs of the affected population. These high-quality units feature durable structures, effective insulation, and ventilation systems, and are designed to be flexible for emergency or transitional needs.

Financial Stability Supports Community Recovery

The KBZ Foundation’s new modular office facilities are now fully operational, with employee dormitories expected to be completed in the coming weeks. This development ensures the continued provision of essential financial services and economic support, highlighting the critical role of modular solutions in disaster resilience and sustainable reconstruction.

Working Together to Rebuild Hope

Saw Dino Ku, Managing Director of Myint Mo Shyan, said, “When the earthquake struck Myanmar, I was determined to provide the fastest and most effective response for the victims. The concept of modular buildings, with their potential for significant impact, immediately came to mind. I immediately contacted the CEO of my partner, Insternity, and the MyanLife team to discuss the possibility of collaborating and donating for the earthquake relief efforts in Myanmar. We all saw the potential and decided to build and donate a ‘modular building’ for the KBZ Foundation’s disaster response center in Mandalay. Why modular? Compared to traditional timber-framed construction, it offers faster construction time, potentially lower costs, and higher energy efficiency. We believe this unique approach to emergency relief can make a significant difference.”

Barbie Tsai, CEO of Insternity Group, stated, “In the face of tragedy, we must respond not only with speed but also with empathy. Our goal is to rebuild hope through construction—creating not just shelters but foundations for a new future. Together with our partners, we stand proudly with the people of Mandalay.”

MyanLife also leveraged its long-standing charitable experience to serve as a community link, helping to integrate relief resources and assess the actual needs of affected communities to ensure that humanitarian aid provides maximum benefit. Later this year, MyanLife plans to launch more charitable initiatives to continue supporting vulnerable groups.

Corporate Social Responsibility and a Sustainable Future

This cross-national collaboration demonstrates the power of international cooperation and corporate compassion. The joint efforts of Insternity Group, Myint Mo Shyan, MyanLife, and the KBZ Foundation show how socially responsible business practices can play a key role in emergency recovery, community reconstruction, and building long-term resilience. By combining Singapore’s expertise in architectural technology, Myanmar’s local implementation capabilities, and MyanLife’s deep-rooted philanthropic experience, this model of cooperation sets a new benchmark for future disaster response.

  • Volkswagen Group Singapore customers can now pay for vehicles and aftersales service using major digital payment tokens such as BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, etc., with daily and cumulative transaction limits in place.
  • The move by VGS is in response to the growing adoption of digital currencies among consumers in Singapore.
  • This development is supported by FOMO Pay’s robust payment infrastructure, enabling merchants to accept and settle payments not only in fiat, but also digital currencies.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Volkswagen Group Singapore (VGS) has announced a partnership with a leading Singapore-headquartered major payment institution, FOMO Pay, to enable digital currency payments for its vehicles and services. Customers can now pay using digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and stablecoins including USDT, USDC, and more.

As the authorised distributor of brands such as Volkswagen, Škoda, and CUPRA, this latest move to enable digital currency payments reflects VGS’s commitment to offering consumers more flexible and future-ready ways to engage with the group’s brands.

Volkswagen Group Singapore elevates customer experience with digital currency payments

The move by VGS is in response to the growing adoption of digital currencies among consumers in Singapore, with recent data showing that 26% of residents now own digital assets. As consumers increasingly seek faster and more cost-effective payment methods, digital currencies are gaining traction not only for their speed and enhanced security, but also global interoperability and lower transaction costs.

Integrating DPT payments enhances the customer journey — by providing choice, speed, and a modern experience — in line with VGS positioning as a forward-thinking group ready for the next generation of mobility and commerce. DPT transactions per customer are subject to a daily cap of SGD 4,500, with a maximum of SGD 13,500 based on smurfing limits.

“An increasing number of consumers today are digital natives. They expect speed and convenience across all touchpoints, including how they pay,” said Dr. Kurt Leitner, Managing Director of Volkswagen Group Singapore. “Our partnership with FOMO Pay aligns with our broader vision of delivering premium experiences powered by technology and innovation.”

FOMO Pay fuels digital currency payment acceptance

With FOMO Pay’s digital asset payment infrastructure, VGS now supports digital currency payments for partial payments on new vehicle purchases, as well as aftersales services. All transactions are processed securely through FOMO Pay’s enterprise-grade gateway, ensuring compliance, transparency, and real-time exchange rates at the point of payment.

“FOMO Pay is excited to partner Volkswagen Group Singapore in elevating their consumer payment experience,” said Rose Wang, Head of Digital Payments at FOMO Pay. “As Singapore advances toward becoming a smart financial center, we believe digital assets will continue to play an important role in improving customer experience. At FOMO Pay, we remain committed to delivering a full suite of payment solutions, from digital currencies to fiat, and from online channels to offline channels. These payment solutions aim to empower businesses and enhance customer experiences.”

Accelerating towards a Smart Nation together

In the spirit of SG60, the partnership between VGS and FOMO Pay embodies the country’s sustained progress in economic growth and technological advancement. Both VGS and FOMO Pay share a strong alignment with Singapore’s vision of becoming a leading digital economy, where innovation enhances everyday life. By enabling digital currency payments, VGS not only modernizes its payment infrastructure but also signals a deeper commitment to offering greater flexibility and inclusivity for consumers. This is made possible through FOMO Pay’s robust digital payment infrastructure, which underpins the shift toward a more seamless and future-ready customer experience.
