The latest breakthrough from Market Logic Software in AI-powered customer insight, scales deeper understanding of customer segments.
BERLIN, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Market Logic Software is proud to announce the launch of DeepSights Persona Agents, a revolutionary new capability that transforms static customer profiles into dynamic, AI-powered conversational personas. Designed to bring customer segments to life, DeepSights Persona Agents enable real-time, natural language interactions that empower marketing, insights, and product teams to explore and test ideas at scale.
Market Logic Software’s new “DeepSights AI Persona Agents” let you simulate customer feedback through synthetic personas built from your own data
Unlike traditional persona reports locked in PowerPoint decks, DeepSights Persona Agents are synthetic representations of customer groups, built from segmentation data and behavioural insights. Guided by detailed prompts, each Persona Agent reflects a specific segment’s mindset, behaviours, and preferences.
Business users can engage with personas to ask questions, test creative content, and ideate products or campaigns without waiting weeks for traditional live research. Conversations can be conducted with one Persona Agent at a time or with several Persona Agents simultaneously in a virtual focus group.
“With DeepSights Persona Agents, we’re turning segmentation data into living, breathing conversations. This is not just a technical innovation – it’s a leap forward in how organisations can develop products and services that are truly customer-centric. It complements qualitative research with feedback cycles at the speed of thought,” said Olaf Lenzmann, Chief Innovation and Product Officer, Market Logic Software.
Many synthetic personas technologies provide all business subscribers with access to a common set of persona profiles. By contrast, DeepSights Persona Agents are modelled on data that is unique to each business:
Summaries of the reports research teams have already built using quantitative and qualitative data can quickly be incorporated into the platform and accurately, transformed into interactive characters.
Where companies do not have existing segment analysis, Market Logic can generate interactive personas from transcripts of interviews with their own human customers. Just five to ten transcripts grouped by segment type drive creation of the virtual persona.
DeepSights Persona Agents are available now. Market Logic experts provide an end-to-end implementation service of less than two weeks incorporating setup, testing and rollout support. For more information, visit our website or contact your Market Logic representative.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 September 2025 – AIA Hong Kong and Macau has announced a strategic partnership formed with Concord Healthcare1, a healthcare group in Mainland China which is listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, on 11 September 2025. As part of the collaboration, eligible insured members of AIA’s designated group insurance can have access to more affordable designated cancer proton therapy and health screening packages2,3 at Guangzhou Concord Cancer Center4 (廣州泰和腫瘤醫院)—one of the flagship institutions under Concord Group5 renowned for its advanced cancer treatment capabilities, including proton therapy. This partnership aligns with our strategies in supporting and enhancing holistic employee wellbeing under the WorkWell with AIA programme.
Cancer remains one of the most pressing health challenges. In Hong Kong, a new cancer diagnosis occurs every 15 minutes6, underscoring the importance of prevention, early detection, and accessible treatment. For employers, this gives rise to the growing need to support workforce health through comprehensive and proactive wellness strategies.
While proton therapy offers relatively precise and non-invasive treatment for certain cancers, the cost of treatment in Hong Kong can be a critical factor in decision-making. Through this partnership, AIA enables designated group insurance’s eligible insured members to access more affordable cancer care at preferential rate2,3 at Guangzhou Concord Cancer Center, helping reduce financial stress while improving health outcomes.
Ms Amelie Shen, Chief Corporate Solutions Officer of AIA Hong Kong and Macau, said: “At AIA, we go beyond traditional employee benefits by delivering holistic and innovative solutions that support Hong Kong’s workforce and their families. This partnership is more than a healthcare solution – it represents our commitment to helping organisations and their employees access to more affordable advanced cancer care — when they need it most. By leveraging this collaboration, we’re helping employers build more resilient and healthier workforces. Together, we’re enabling employees and their families to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Billion Watts today announced the official commencement of its solar-plus-storage project in Victoria, Australia. The project integrates solar PV with advanced battery storage to support the National Electricity Market (NEM) and is scheduled to begin operations in Q1 2026.
Construction is now underway at the 5.8MW/11MWh project site, where heavy machinery has been deployed for land leveling and foundation preparation, signaling the start of substantive development.
Project Highlights
The project has received full Development Approval (DA) from the Victorian government, covering land planning, environmental assessments, fire safety, compliance, and construction management. Featuring dispatch and fast-response capabilities, the system will enable charging during low-price periods and discharging during peak-price or frequency deviation events. This operational flexibility will support energy arbitrage, contribute to grid stability, and maximize asset value, making the facility a model for future solar-storage integration in the region.
The project is jointly developed by an international consortium:
Smart Power System will supply the Energy Management System (EMS) for real-time monitoring, energy arbitrage, FCAS services, and operational optimization.
Lixma & Legacy will provide PV modules and EPC services, leveraging proven experience in large-scale projects in Taiwan and Australia to ensure timely and high-quality delivery.
Kingstone Energy Technology will act as legal and financial advisor, supporting cross-border investment, compliance and financing.
Environmental and Economic Impact
Once operational, the facility will deliver returns through a diversified revenue model, including participation in the wholesale electricity market and ancillary service markets. Beyond the financial benefits, the project is expected to cut approximately 6,896 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, equivalent to planting more than 320,000 trees. This outcome directly supports Australia’s strategy and the broader global energy transition goal.
Growing Pipeline in Australia
Billion Watts is advancing six additional solar-storage projects in Victoria and New South Wales. The sub-5MW segment is particularly attractive as such projects connect at the distribution level, benefit from simplified approvals, shorter construction timelines, and faster grid connections.
With NEM spot prices ranging from –AUD 1,000 to AUD 20,700/MWh since July 2025, price volatility is increasing, providing strong opportunities for both merchant sub-5MW solar-storage and standalone storage assets to capture arbitrage value.
“With these developments, Billion Watts extends its expertise from Taiwan to Australia, showcasing its ability to deliver integrated solar and storage solutions that combine technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and long-term investment value,” said Elaine Chen, Director of Billion Watts Australia Pty Ltd.
The Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, together with Friends-International (Peuan Mit), organized a half-day meeting to review progress under the Phase 5 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Social Welfare Centers across Laos will expand their vocational training and job placement programs as part of a new five-year initiative aimed at supporting at-risk youth and strengthening child protection systems nationwide.
The move comes under a joint plan between the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare and Friends-International (Peuan Mit), which held a half-day review meeting on 15 September in Vientiane.
The program, running from 2025 to 2029, focuses on creating safer environments for children and offering practical pathways for young people facing social and economic challenges.
In addition to scaling up vocational services, the initiative includes the development of child-friendly educational materials, including cartoon-based tools, to help children understand their rights and identify unsafe situations.
These materials will be used in schools, temples, and community spaces as part of a broader child protection strategy.
The plan also prioritizes collaboration with local authorities, especially in target provinces such as Luang Prabang, where a follow-up meeting and reassessment are scheduled. Mapping activities will help identify new high-need locations for program expansion.
By combining vocational training, education, and community-based protection measures, the program aims to address both immediate risks and long-term development for vulnerable children and youth across the country.
Friends-International, through its Peuan Mit program, has worked in Laos for over 20 years, supporting marginalized urban youth through services that promote independence, employability, and social reintegration.

Green SM’s expansion to Bekasi follows its successful debut in Jakarta, where it quickly gained strong public support and became a symbol of green urban mobility. By expanding into Bekasi, the company enhances the city’s transportation network through direct connections to TransJakarta, LRT Jabodebek, and Commuter Line stations, making it easier for commuters to access first- and last-mile options. This is especially significant in Bekasi, known as Indonesia’s “city of workers” and an important industrial center where hundreds of thousands of trips are made daily to Jakarta for work and school. Green SM’s dependable all-electric taxi network is expected to reduce dependence on private motorbikes and cars, ease congestion, lower emissions, and improve local air quality, while offering affordable and safe transportation choices for families and workers.
The expansion also represents a major milestone in Green SM’s Jabodetabek growth plan. By promoting clean energy transportation in one of Indonesia’s busiest metropolitan areas, the company supports national carbon reduction goals and contributes to Bekasi’s smart city vision. This initiative is not only about launching a new service but also about building a long-term ecosystem where technology, mobility, and community needs move forward together toward sustainable growth.
Deny Tjia, Managing Director of Green SM Indonesia, shared: “Our expansion into Bekasi is more than just launching a new service; it reflects a deeper commitment to the people and rhythm of the city. Bekasi is a place full of energy and resilience, where industry, families, and commuters influence daily life. We see Green SM as a partner to that vibrant community, providing clean and modern transportation that seamlessly fits into busy routines while supporting Indonesia’s climate goals. This launch demonstrates how the public and private sectors can collaborate to advance smart city development through practical, low-carbon solutions.“
Looking ahead, Green SM plans to expand further across Indonesia, with Surabaya and Makassar set to join the network soon. This eastward growth beyond Java’s core highlights the company’s ability to operate at scale across diverse urban environments, reinforcing its role as a key player in greening Indonesia’s transportation sector. Bekasi thus marks not only the latest milestone but also a gateway for Green SM’s broader mission to accelerate sustainable mobility in rapidly growing cities nationwide.
To celebrate this achievement, Green SM is offering launch promotions worth up to IDR 150,000 for new users, encouraging residents to experience premium electric rides that are both convenient and affordable. By combining global expertise with a deep understanding of local needs, Green SM reaffirms its long-term vision: to make every journey in Indonesia safer, cleaner, and truly green.
