Founded in 2018, Arothinking specializes in experiential learning platforms that integrate VR and AR content with artificial intelligence, English education, and coding. The company has established a strong foundation in its domestic market, with its programs currently implemented in approximately 1,200 kindergartens, daycare centers, and elementary schools nationwide. This extensive operational track record has positioned Arothinking to scale its education model internationally.

These platforms are designed to enhance logical and critical thinking, creativity, and interactive communication.

In 2025, Arothinking is strengthening its overseas footprint, with Vietnam serving as a core regional hub. The company has established a local entity, CEEREDS, to support long-term operations and partnerships in the Vietnamese market. Through this local presence, Arothinking is actively pursuing supply and distribution agreements with regional partners, aiming to localize its AI and XR education solutions to align with local curricula and learning environments.

Beyond Vietnam, Arothinking has completed its first export to an international school in Thailand and is currently in discussions for additional deployments.

The updated website is designed to address the logistical and administrative challenges Singaporean families face when employing Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs), with a primary focus on regulatory education and process transparency.

The launch comes in response to feedback highlighting the confusion many employers experience regarding Ministry of Manpower (MOM) regulations, paperwork, and candidate selection.

By centralising these resources, Inter Great Employment aims to reduce the friction often associated with the hiring process. The agency emphasises that while the platform improves efficiency, the core of their service remains grounded in rigorous vetting and ethical placement practices.

“Technology allows us to streamline the administrative burden, but the human element of understanding a household’s specific needs remains paramount,” added Mr Chew. “This platform supports our commitment to professional and sincere service by ensuring every employer has the right information at their fingertips.”

A Global Answer to Waste? SUS ENVIRONMENT Fast-Tracks the Development of a Worldwide Waste-to-Energy Network

SHANGHAI, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Since the full implementation of its internationalization strategy, SUS ENVIRONMENT has been continuously driving the steady and high-quality development of the overseas business.

On December 8, the Nonthaburi Waste-to-Energy Project in Thailand achieved a critical milestone—the successful hoisting of the first boiler steel frame. This marks the full completion of the boiler foundation works and the official transition of the project into the equipment installation phase. During an on-site inspection, the Governor of Nonthaburi Province and his delegation highly commended the project’s significant role in achieving waste “reduction, harmlessness, and resource recovery.” He expressed anticipation that the project would provide a lasting and efficient solid waste management solution for the local area.

On November 30, in Uzbekistan—another key country along the Belt and Road—the first boiler steel frame lifting was successfully completed for the Kashkadarya Municipal Solid Waste-to-Energy Project. This milestone marks the project’s official transition into the ground facility construction and rapid equipment installation phase. Meanwhile, construction of the Samarkand project is also progressing steadily. On December 8, the critical step of pouring the base slab for the waste pit was successfully finished, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent main structural work.

On November 24, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the TSN WtE Project welcomed an on-site inspection by a delegation from the municipal party committee and government. The municipal party secretary stated that Ho Chi Minh City has clearly prioritized advancing the construction of waste transfer stations and equipping them with specialized facilities, fully supporting the steady implementation of waste-to-energy projects.

The shift from “viewing waste as trash” to “viewing waste as a resource” is increasingly becoming a developmental consensus among more and more cities. With its advanced technology, extensive experience, and sustainable operational model, SUS ENVIRONMENT has earned widespread trust from local governments, partners, and communities in the project locations.

About SUS ENVIRONMENT

SUS ENVIRONMENT is the global leading comprehensive environment provider.* As of June 2025, SUS ENVIRONMENT has established 11 management centers worldwide, invested in and constructed 90 waste-to-energy projects, with a daily processing capacity nearly 120,000 tons of MSW and annual green power generation of approximately 18,000 GWh.

Tilda Targets Vietnam’s Industrial Energy Market with AI-Based ESS Optimization Solutions

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tilda, a South Korea–based AI optimization technology company, announced that it is accelerating its expansion into Vietnam in 2025, bringing its AI-based optimization solutions for self-consumption solar power and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to the country’s rapidly growing industrial sector.

As Vietnam expands renewable energy deployment amid rising electricity demand and increasing grid constraints, manufacturers and industrial park operators are seeking solutions that can reduce energy costs while maintaining operational stability. Tilda aims to address these challenges through its proprietary ArgMax Power platform, which applies artificial intelligence to both the design and operation of solar PV and ESS systems.

Tilda is currently engaging with local industrial park developers and EPC companies in Vietnam to support ESS investment decisions and operational optimization. The company is also discussing technical and business cooperation with VINAtech, a Korean enterprise with an established presence in Vietnam, to jointly introduce AI-based energy optimization solutions tailored to local industrial and regulatory conditions.

“Vietnam is one of the most dynamic manufacturing and renewable energy markets in Southeast Asia,” said Ji Ryang Chung, CEO of Tilda. “As solar and ESS deployment accelerates, the key challenge is no longer installation, but how efficiently these assets are designed and operated. Our AI technology is designed to help Vietnamese manufacturers maximize cost savings, reduce peak demand, and achieve meaningful progress toward RE100 and carbon reduction goals.”

ArgMax Power integrates two core functions: optimal system design at the investment stage and real-time AI control during operation. By simultaneously reducing total electricity consumption and peak demand, the platform enables electricity cost savings of up to 30 percent, even for facilities with existing solar and ESS infrastructure.

The effectiveness of Tilda’s technology has already been validated in Japan, where the energy market is rapidly transitioning to self-consumption models. In a 2025 pilot project at a manufacturing facility in Okayama City equipped with 200kW of solar PV and 200kWh of ESS, Tilda conducted a comparative operation under identical conditions. While a conventional Power Management System recorded an average monthly peak demand of 127.53kW, Tilda’s AI control reduced peak demand to 82.58kW without impacting production. For a factory with an annual electricity bill of approximately USD 115,000, this resulted in additional annual savings of around USD 25,000.

Beyond operational control, Tilda offers a cloud-based Optimal Quotation and Simulation Service to support data-driven investment planning. By analyzing historical electricity usage and site data, the platform simulates load, solar generation, grid usage, and ESS state of charge over a full year, enabling enterprises to clearly assess capital expenditure requirements and expected operational savings.

Tilda’s global expansion is supported by an overseas expansion assistance program operated by Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency, reinforcing the company’s efforts to introduce AI-driven energy optimization solutions to international markets, with Vietnam positioned as a core growth hub.
