This is the largest single-themed pavilion in the expo’s history, showcasing approximately 1,200 advanced AI products from both domestic tech firms and international partners. Highlights include innovations such as large language models, robots, wearable devices, and intelligent application platforms, alongside technological achievements from ASEAN countries like Brunei, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The “AI CAEXPO” intelligent system, launched on the Saturday before, has been specifically designed to streamline on-site operations, integrating 17 scenarios including smart conferencing, navigation, and itinerary planning.

Core to the event, this system underpins the enhanced development of CAEXPO, offering exhibitors advanced intelligent experiences in itinerary management, customer engagement, business matchmaking, and multilingual negotiation.

In addition, the inaugural Ministerial Roundtable on Artificial Intelligence was held during the expo, fostering precise industry collaboration between China and ASEAN.

For the first time, the expo will reveal “China’s Top 100 Future AI Unicorn Enterprises Going Global” list and organize more than 10 AI-themed events.

To support robust decision-making for enterprises, this year’s CAEXPO has enlisted academics, industry experts, and renowned think tanks to compile the blue book “Outlook on China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Cooperation”.

The publication analyzes trends in two-way economic and trade collaboration, with a focus on exploring new business opportunities in nine key areas of the Version 3.0 China-ASEAN Free Trade Area.

Wei Zhaohui, secretary-general of the expo’s secretariat, said that CAEXPO is not only an economic and trade event co-hosted by China and ASEAN but serves as a “Nanning Channel” which strengthens cross-border people-to-people connections.

To solidify the public opinion foundation for a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future, the expo continues to implement the China-ASEAN Young Leaders Growth Program, with a report authored by the first batch of participants released during the expo.

Moreover, 30 participants have been selected for the second batch, and the program will continue to nurture young leaders as builders and inheritors of China-ASEAN friendship.

Comment from David Miskin (Cheif Creative Director)

“It is a great honor for us to receive the Gold Award at the Graphis Design 2026 Awards. Winning in the Branding Systems category as the first hotel brand is a groundbreaking achievement that reflects the success of our challenge and demonstrates new possibilities for Japanese hospitality on the global stage.

We have positioned seven x seven, not simply as a place to stay, but as a stage for brand experience, seamlessly connecting architecture, interior spaces, services, and communications through a unified design. As we expand, we are reminded that a true brand system is far more than a logo, it is an orchestration of all the senses, from the spaces guests move through to the sounds, textures, and experiences that shape lasting memories.

This international recognition is a tremendous encouragement, and we will continue to pursue creativity and consistency as we propose new locations for the future of hotel branding.”

Fescaro, TUV Nord join forces on auto cybersecurity compliance

SUWON, South Korea, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This is an article published in The Korea Herald:

South Korean mobility software solutions provider Fescaro(https://www.fescaro.com/en/) said Wednesday that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with TUV Nord, a German global testing and certification organization, to cooperate in the automotive cybersecurity regulatory compliance business.

Under the agreement, the two companies will develop a one-stop solution to help automakers and suppliers meet compliance requirements.

The service will encompass consulting for cybersecurity management systems, education and training, provision and validation of security solutions, and regulatory compliance.

By combining Fescaro’s automotive cybersecurity technology with TUV Nord’s certification expertise, the two companies aim to provide tailored services that maximize efficiency for clients.

As software content in vehicles expands, cybersecurity risks are becoming a pressing concern, prompting regulators worldwide to introduce new legal frameworks.

The European Union, China and India have all introduced regulations aligning with the UN’s Regulation No. 155 on vehicular cybersecurity. South Korea has also amended its Motor Vehicle Management Act to strengthen cybersecurity requirements.

TUV Nord, with more than 150 years of history and a global network of over 100 offices, is the first certification body worldwide to be designated as a National Certification Body in cybersecurity domains covering industry and internet-of-things standards.

Fescaro, which offers an integrated automotive security platform, became the first Korean firm to help global automakers obtain four major international cybersecurity certifications in 2023.

Its technologies have since entered mass production, and it was recognized as an innovator partner by Auto-ISAC in 2025.

“In automotive cybersecurity, regulatory compliance and technical reliability are essential, and FESCARO is the ideal partner that fulfills both,” said Leif-Erik Schulte, executive vice president at TUV Nord Mobility.

“Through this collaboration with TUV Nord, one of the world’s most respected certification bodies, we are committed to actively expanding our opportunities in the global cybersecurity market,” said Fescaro CEO Hong Seok-min.
