G-P Unveils the Next Generation of G-P Gia™, First-of-its-Kind Agentic AI that Acts as an Extension of Your HR Team

Gia saved HR professionals 7,000+ hours in 6 months, and is now generally available with Gia Essential, Gia Pro and Gia Enterprise

BOSTON, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — G-P (Globalization Partners), recognized as the undisputed leader in global employment by industry analysts, today announced the launch of the next generation of G-P Gia, the first-of-its-kind agentic AI solution specifically designed for compliant global HR. Recognized as a 2025 Top HR Product by Human Resources Executive, Gia is available today in three tiered packages designed to support companies of all sizes and all compliance needs.

Gia is a comprehensive agent that provides HR guidance, creates policy documents, completes tasks and proactively monitors employment law changes and can make required updates on users’ behalf. Gia is backed by G-P’s decade-plus of global employment expertise and 100,000 G-P Verified™ sources, meticulously reviewed and validated by G-P’s HR and legal experts. Articles verified by G-P experts are exclusively available in Gia and provide clear citations so users can always trust that they are receiving the most accurate and up-to-date employment and HR guidance. In beta, Gia helped teams reduce policy management overhead by up to 50% and cut the time and cost of compliance by up to 95%.

HR leaders need trusted AI systems built for data integrity and compliance. Yet, in a study by G-P, 89% of HR professionals have used general LLMs for sensitive HR work, including 80% who create HR contracts and policies with them. Unfortunately, websites like Wikipedia and Reddit are among general LLMs most cited sources, meaning HR teams may be unknowingly getting guidance and basing decisions on unreliable, crowd-sourced information.

“In the same way that specialized medical problems require a dedicated medical specialist, complex, specific HR challenges require specialized AI and global HR expertise,” said Nat Natarajan, chief operating officer, G-P. “G-P Gia is purpose built for global HR and compliance, combining first-of-its-kind agentic AI with G-P’s unmatched knowledge base built on more than a decade of human legal and HR expertise. G-P Gia delivers trusted, verified sources to provide better outcomes and stronger compliance for today’s most pressing HR and business needs.”

With Gia, it’s done: Your global HR agent

Gia’s specialized agents take on global HR and compliance tasks, acting as an extension of your HR team. Through agentic AI, it can replace manual workflows and reliance on external HR and legal counsel. Gia provides compliant and accurate information across all HR functions, and completes tasks on your behalf.

G-P Gia Enterprise, Gia’s new premium package, gives customers access to advanced agentic use cases designed to meet the demands of complex global operations, including:

  • Proactive Compliance Management: Gia transforms HR policy management from reactive to proactive with continuous monitoring, significantly reducing legal and operational risks. Gia monitors your company policies against global compliance laws, notifies you when relevant updates occur that could impact your business and can make changes as needed.
  • Company Knowledge Sources: Teams can upload their own policies into G-P Gia as knowledge sources to turn static policy documents into dynamic, actionable intelligence. Gia will use company specific context in the uploaded documentation as the source of truth and will not give advice contrary to your organization’s policies.
  • Multiple Document Upload: Multi-document upload makes it easy to compare resumes with job descriptions, turn performance reviews into improvement plans or pull together multiple policies to create an employee handbook and more.
  • Worker Classification Check: Worker classification within Gia accurately classifies contractors versus employees helping ensure compliance and mitigate risk.
  • Team Management and Permissions: Centralized control over user roles, access levels and team structure ensures sensitive HR data and compliance information are only accessible to authorized personnel.
  • Coming SoonAdvanced Research: Gia’s advanced research creates detailed, expertly-researched reports on whatever broad subject you choose to explore —similar to what you’d get from a research analyst or consultant, but without the cost or wait time. Examples: multi jurisdictional research, complex HR compliance scenarios, HR strategy and competitive intelligence.

Gia is GDPR compliant, encrypts user data at rest and in transit, and provides role-based access control to ensure only authorized personnel can view sensitive information.

HR leaders are already experiencing the impact of G-P Gia:

  • “With G-P Gia, we’ve cut compliance costs significantly. If I need to write a policy, I plug in the parameters and jurisdiction, and Gia creates it instantly.

New Scientific Review Highlights β-Lactoglobulin’s Dual Benefits for Metabolic and Muscle Health

Emerging evidence positions this dairy protein as a powerful nutritional ingredient – and 21st.BIO’s precision fermentation could make it more sustainable than ever.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — β-Lactoglobulin (BLG), the most abundant whey protein in cow’s milk is drawing renewed attention as scientists uncover its unique dual benefits for metabolic regulation and muscle health. A newly published review by researchers at the University of Copenhagen synthesizes the latest research and positions BLG as a nutritional ingredient with therapeutic potential well beyond traditional dairy. 

BLG’s dual benefits 

Rich in leucine and capable of generating bioactive peptides during digestion, BLG offers a rare combination of metabolic and muscle-preserving benefits – two of the most pressing nutrition challenges in ageing and metabolic health. 

The review highlights several features that set BLG apart. It contains 1.5 times more leucine than standard whey or casein, providing a strong trigger for muscle protein synthesis. BLG ensures sustained amino acid availability, longer than with other proteins. Its structure also confers bioactive versatility: BLG can bind hydrophobic ligands such as fatty acids and retinol, and during digestion it releases peptides that have been shown to support glucose regulation. Together, these properties underpin BLG’s comprehensive metabolic actions – influencing insulin, GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon, supporting glucose uptake, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting satiety – and help create a favorable hormonal milieu that stimulates both muscle protein synthesis and glucose disposal. 

These combined actions position BLG as a unique nutritional solution for interconnected health challenges such as conditions causing muscle loss, immobilization and age-related muscle loss, and weight management,” explain researchers Morten Hostrup and Emil Lundgren, from the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. “Unlike current pharmacological approaches, BLG shows potential to both enhance appetite suppression and protect against muscle mass loss, which could prove particularly interesting for people under GLP-1 therapies.”  

“BLG isn’t only for people with specific health needs,” they say. “It’s a protein that can support muscle and metabolism, particularly beneficial if you’re active or managing your weight, or anyone seeking to optimize their nutritional intake. We can see ourselves adding it to our own diet.”

From dairy bottlenecks to biotech solutions 

The new review arrives at a time when global demand for BLG is soaring. Most BLG suppliers are sold out until at least 2026, with dairy supply constrained by structural challenges: fewer and ageing farmers, farm closures, and strict emission targets limiting herd expansion. Meanwhile, whey prices continue to climb. 

For the food industry, this science opens opportunities in functional nutrition, active ageing, sports recovery, and medical nutrition – particularly when paired with sustainable production methods. Traditionally sourced from dairy, BLG can now also be produced via precision fermentation, offering consistent quality, optimized bioactivity, and a dramatically lower environmental footprint compared to conventional dairy farming.

Precision fermentation as a resilient solution 

To meet both scientific promise and market demand, the review points to precision fermentation as a scalable path forward. The technology enables the production of BLG with consistent bioactivity, free from seasonal variations, and with a fraction of the land, water, and carbon footprint of conventional dairy. It also allows for tailored BLG variants with optimized amino acid profiles or enhanced bioactive sequences for specific applications. 

“This review article perfectly sums up why beta-lactoglobulin is setting a new standard for protein. As consumer education and global demand for high-quality protein rises, precision fermentation offers a way to deliver the nutritional and functional benefits of BLG at scale – without relying on cows,” says Thomas G. Schmidt, co-founder and CEO at 21st.BIO. “Our production technology enables food and nutrition companies to unlock these health benefits in a sustainable, commercially viable way.”

21st.BIO develops industrial-scale precision fermentation technology for high-value dairy proteins such as BLG and α-lactalbumin. Building on strain optimization expertise developed over decades within Novonesis (formerly Novozymes), the company provides licensing programs that cover the full journey from strain to scale-up. Its platform helps partners – from start-ups to ingredient manufacturers and dairy companies – to bring next-generation proteins to market at competitive cost and commercial scale.

Family Offices in Asia Pacific Prioritize Next-Gen Education Amidst Wealth Transfer, Demonstrate Proactive Response to Market Volatility: Citi Wealth 2025 Survey Reveals


Family offices in Asia Pacific leads in second-generation wealth control and education about family wealth, signaling a strong next-generation focus.

Demonstrating proactive response to market volatility and strong optimism for portfolio returns, with a significant portion expecting returns over 5% for the year.

HONG KONG SAR /SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 September 2025 – Citi Wealth today released its 2025 Global Family Office Report, offering a rare glimpse into the thinking and behaviors of some of the world’s most sophisticated investors, including the dynamic trends in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. The report was compiled by Citi Wealth’s Global Family Office Group, which works with over 1,800 family offices worldwide.

Amid trade policy uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and technological transformation, this flagship publication explores issues such as investment sentiment, portfolio actions and operational best practices. Its findings are drawn from an annual survey, in which a record 346 family office respondents from 45 countries participated – with 29% from APAC. Conducted in June and July 2025, the survey sheds light on how expectations and strategies have changed since the U.S. tariff announcements earlier this year, and highlights APAC family offices as proactive leaders in internationalization and next-generation wealth education.

“These are exciting times for family offices worldwide,” comments Hannes Hofmann, Head of Citi Wealth’s Global Family Office Group.” These sophisticated clients are finding new ways to address their families’ ever-increasing expectations. Our 2025 report highlights how they are refining priorities, reimagining their operations and seeking to build resilient portfolios. We are proud to partner with them, drawing upon Citi’s global reach and deep resources to help them seize potential opportunities and achieve their ambitious goals.”

Within APAC, key themes that emerged from this year’s survey include:

  • Top Concerns: Survey respondents highlighted trade disputes (61%) and U.S.-China relations (53%) as their primary concerns related to investment strategies.
  • Bullish Outlook: A strong majority (83%) of APAC family offices anticipate portfolio returns above 5% this year.
  • Strategic Investment Shifts: Asia Pacific family offices responded more vigorously to the tariff turmoil than global counterparts, leading the way in allocating to perceived defensive asset classes (39%), geographies (22%) and sectors (17%).
  • Strong Internationalization: Families from APAC were among the most international, with 76% having a global footprint.
  • Preparation for the Next-Generation: The region leads with 43% of wealth under second-generation control, indicating a maturing market. Opportunities for education about family wealth (73%) were most common, which may relate to the upcoming wave of wealth transfers between first and second generations.
  • Gaps in Technology Adoption: 44% of respondents lack cybersecurity offerings, highlighting a potentially urgent area for development.

“The 2025 report clearly signals a new era for family offices in Asia Pacific,” says Bernard Wai, Asia Pacific Head of Citi Wealth’s Global Family Office Group. “We are seeing a proactive and highly confident approach to investment, particularly in public equities, coupled with a commendable dedication to nurturing the next generation of wealth stewards and embracing a global outlook. This region is truly setting the pace for wealth management evolution, and Citi Wealth remains deeply committed to supporting their continued growth and strategic development.”

Globally, key themes that emerged from this year’s survey include:

  • Staying Resolute: Asset allocations were largely held steady, with family offices making fewer shifts than last year, pending greater clarity on trade policy. Among those implementing changes, bullish moves predominated. Private equity saw the most positive activity.
  • Optimistic Outlook: Family offices expressed optimism about 12-month portfolio returns, despite limited consensus about which asset classes might drive performance. Potential U.S. deregulation, interest rate cuts and advances in artificial intelligence may explain positive sentiment.
  • Active Response to Market Volatility: U.S. tariff announcements triggered swift, calculated adjustments to bolster portfolio resilience, with 39% of family offices favoring active management. They also pivoted toward perceived defensive asset classes and geographies as well as hedging strategies.
  • Strong Commitment to Direct Investments: Seventy percent of respondents said they were engaged with direct investments. Of those, four out of ten said they had increased or significantly increased their activity in the last year, suggesting confidence in their ability to select deals that drive returns.
  • Geopolitical Concerns: Global trade disputes emerged as a top concern (60%) for family offices, followed by U.S.-China relations (43%) and a resurgence of inflation (37%). Geopolitical tensions and government initiatives to attract capital are fueling interest in asset location and a re-evaluation of jurisdictions.
  • Professionalization Gaps: While family offices have made progress in professionalizing their investment function, more improvement is needed in operational risk management, cybersecurity and leadership succession planning.
  • Outsourcing Services: To manage their growing responsibilities in a cost-efficient manner, many family offices are considering external suppliers, but with decision-making authority largely remaining in-house.
  • Advancing AI Deployment: The proportion of respondents mentioning they had deployed AI has doubled since last year, particularly in the automation of operational tasks and investment analytics. However, full integration will take time.

“Family offices globally remain highly focused on direct investing, as they seek exposure to the key transformative technologies of tomorrow and attractively valued companies across sectors,” says Dawn Nordberg, Head of Integrated Client Engagement for Citi Wealth. “We have a specialist team that works alongside colleagues from Citi’s world-class investment bank. Our mission is to enable our sophisticated family office clients to access proprietary private capital raises, asset divestitures, and thought leadership across industries and geographies to support their direct investing.”

About the Survey
This year’s survey was initiated during Citi Wealth’s tenth annual Family Office Leadership Summit in June 2025. The event was attended by over 150 family office leaders from more than 25 countries, with an average family net worth of $3.8 billion. The 56-question survey was subsequently opened to the wider population of family office clients globally.

About the Global Family Office Group
Citi Wealth’s Global Family Office Group serves single family offices, private investment companies and private holding companies, including family-owned enterprises and foundations, around the world. The team offers clients comprehensive private banking and advisory services, institutional access to global opportunities and connections to a community of like-minded peers.
