Taiwan Index Plus and ICE launch indices for the Taiwan ETP market

TAIPEI, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan Index Plus (TIP) is proud to announce a strategic agreement with ICE Data Indices, LLC (“ICE”), a subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange, a leading global provider of technology and data, to expand index offerings tailored for local market participants.

Under this agreement,  both TIP and ICE will create co-branded indices, expanding the range of solutions available to Taiwan’s financial ecosystem. TIP’s indices under this arrangement will utilize fixed income indices administered by ICE. The first blended index to be launched under the agreement is the “ICE TIP Dual-Core Balanced Multi-Asset Index”, administered by TIP. This index is created by combining the “TIP Customized Taiwan Large-Cap Representatives 25 Index” and the “ICE 10+ Year BBB US Corporate Yield-Weighted Constrained Index TWD 3pm Taipei“. This new multi-asset index is designed to be one with global reach and asset diversification that can be used in a passive fund for domestic investors. It illustrates the strategic value of the agreement — seamlessly combining TIP’s deep expertise in Taiwanese equities with ICE’s capabilities in fixed income indices.

TIP and ICE have also agreed to implement a co-branding arrangement under which each party may distribute its indices through a shared branding program. Seeking to leverage ICE’s global footprint and fixed income expertise, TIP will continue to capitalise on its affiliation with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) to support and streamline the listing of ETPs on the exchange, strengthening the value of Taiwan’s capital market.

Sherman Lin, Chairman of TIP, said: “We believe that our strong complementary agreement will be a valuable addition to contribute meaningfully to index innovation both in Taiwan and globally, helping to drive the next wave of index development. TIP will continue to serve as a reliable partner to domestic asset managers by leveraging group resources and exploring index licensing opportunities through the co-branding arrangement.”

Varun Pawar, Chief Product Officer at ICE, said, “Taiwan’s ETF market is entering an exciting new phase with the introduction of multi-asset indices, providing investors with broader diversification. Our collaboration with TIP and TIP’s launch of the ICE TIP Dual-Core Balanced Multi-Asset Index reflect our shared commitment to innovation and to supporting issuers in delivering products that meet evolving investor needs. As Taiwan grows as a regional asset management hub, we’re proud to contribute our global insights and data expertise to deliver solutions that create opportunity for investors.”

CorestemChemon Expands Global CRO Reach with ATG Lifetech, Targeting Next-Gen Preclinical Services

Strategic partnership to deliver transcriptomics-powered, organoid-based preclinical testing for high-impact drug discovery 

SEOUL, South Korea, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CorestemChemon, a leading GLP-certified preclinical CRO based in South Korea, has entered into a strategic partnership with ATG Lifetech, a biotechnology company specializing in transcriptome analytics and organoid-based modeling. This collaboration aims to deliver next-generation, precision-driven non-clinical solutions to pharmaceutical companies and biotech ventures across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Through this partnership, the two companies will co-develop:

  • A transcriptome-based evaluation platform for predictive drug efficacy and safety profiling
  • Disease-relevant organoid models for liver, heart, and the blood-brain barrier (BBB)
  • A high-throughput transcriptomics analytics service for differentiating true vs. false positives in tumorigenicity studies
  • Shared access to regulatory-aligned expertise for global clients targeting FDA/EMA pathways

“ATG Lifetech’s disruptive transcriptome and organoid platforms will significantly elevate the scientific fidelity of our preclinical services,” said a CorestemChemon spokesperson. “This alliance positions us to compete as a global CRO partner offering best-in-class biological relevance and regulatory readiness.”

Organoid-based assays are increasingly recognized for their translational advantage, offering up to 5x greater predictive accuracy in toxicity and efficacy screening compared to conventional 2D cell cultures, according to industry benchmarks. When integrated with whole-transcriptome analysis, these platforms enable earlier go/no-go decisions in drug pipelines, helping clients de-risk clinical entry and reduce overall development timelines.

“Investors should note that this partnership directly supports CorestemChemon’s strategic growth plan to expand high-margin, IP-driven CRO services globally. Revenue-generating service offerings are expected to begin rolling out by late 2025, with significant global demand already projected.”

ATG Lifetech brings validated expertise from its international collaborations, including with ACROBiosystems (Switzerland), and has been selected as a core developer in several South Korean government-backed biopharma initiatives.

The two companies plan to showcase their joint research outputs at a major toxicology and preclinical science conference in Q4 2025. Global service launches will follow, focused on biotech and pharmaceutical customers in need of high-content, biologically faithful preclinical testing.

CorestemChemon (KOSDAQ: 166480) is a full-service preclinical CRO with over two decades of experience in GLP-based toxicology, pharmacokinetics, and regulatory compliance. The company operates multiple AAALAC-certified facilities and partners with leading biopharmaceutical innovators across Asia, the U.S., and Europe.

The AI Agent Arms Race: Latest OutSystems AI Study Reveals 93% of Software Executives Plan to Introduce Custom AI Agents Within Their Organizations

AI-powered app development leader reports growing adoption of agentic AI, signaling shifts in workforce skills and software development dynamics

SINGAPORE, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — New research from OutSystems, a leading AI-powered low-code development platform, points to an increasing trend in agentic AI prioritization among software executives, with 93% of organizations already developing—or planning to develop—their own custom AI agents. The report, Navigating Agentic AI & Generative AI in Software Development: Human-Agent Collaboration is Here, was completed in collaboration with CIO Dive and KPMG, exploring the widespread use of AI across the SDLC in businesses around the world.

Today’s IT leaders are under immense pressure to deliver measurable business value while managing constrained resources and aligning technology investments with long-term strategic goals. The introduction of agentic AI helps address these demands by tackling challenges that traditional technology approaches can often exacerbate: fragmented tools, and limited ability to leverage data siloed across the organization and integrate its existing systems. With agentic AI, leaders can automate large-scale processes, create hyper-personalized digital experiences, and drive innovation with agility. Capable of enabling seamless enterprise-wide data access and upholding rigorous standards for compliance, security, and governance, agentic AI is poised to transform business processes and experiences and help organizations embrace an AI-first future.

“The software development lifecycle is undergoing a significant transformation as organizations increase AI investments to maintain their competitive edge. Blending AI with development tools enables IT leaders to manage this shift effectively and securely,” said Woodson Martin, CEO of OutSystems. “In a near future, AI agents acting as highly specialized teams will continuously monitor business needs, identify opportunities, and proactively refine software solutions, allowing developers and business leaders to play a more creative role and focus on strategic priorities. This report underscores how AI advancements are reshaping traditional roles and unlocking opportunities for innovation and collaboration between humans and technology.”

The OutSystems report, which includes survey responses from 550 global software executives, examines how AI adoption is transforming software development processes, with measurable impacts. More than two thirds of respondents reported increased developer productivity, and improved software quality through fewer bugs. 62 percent of respondents also reported improved scalability of development efforts, and 60 percent pointed to gains in enhanced testing and quality assurance (QA) efficiency. With AI acting as the catalyst for a reimagined software development process, these advancements go beyond efficiency gains. They’re empowering developers to shift their focus from repetitive tasks to crafting unique solutions in partnership with business leaders and solving more complex user challenges, leading to the creation of new roles and improved innovative agility and scalability.

The report also found that increases in and experimentation with agentic AI over the next 24 months will spur workforce transformation and innovation throughout the organization. The majority of software executives (69%), anticipate AI will introduce new, more specialized roles (e.g., oversight, governance, prompt engineering, agent architect, and agent orchestration) to accommodate the evolving role AI will play within organizations. More than three out of five respondents (63%) also feel that AI will require substantial upskilling or reskilling within existing development teams.

Additional key findings from the report include:

  • A growing shift toward AI-driven autonomy: Custom AI agents are becoming central to the shift toward more autonomous, AI-driven operations. Nearly half of software executives (46%) report that their organizations are already integrating agentic AI into applications and workflows, with another 28% of respondents actively piloting such solutions.
  • Customer service use cases top agent development efforts: Almost half of respondents (49%) are planning to adopt AI agents for customer support to autonomously handle inquiries and support tasks, underscoring a drive to improve customer experience and scale support efficiently. At this time, fewer executives are prioritizing agent-augmented applications in areas like product development (38%), sales and marketing (32%), supply chain management (28%), human resources (24%), or finance and accounting (23%).
  • Investments in AI to achieve critical business outcomes are increasing: Primary drivers for AI adoption—expressed by more than half of respondents— include improving the customer experience (56%), automating routine and repetitive development tasks (55%), expediting software development timelines (54%), and accelerating digital transformation (53%).
  • AI-driven automation introduces new governance, security, and scaling challenges: While AI-powered automation unlocks significant potential, its broader adoption has introduced significant governance, security, and compliance risks. More than three out of five software executives cite these challenges (64%) alongside concerns over the transparency and reliability of AI-generated decisions (64%).
    • At the same time, the rapid proliferation of AI tools has created new fragmentation and oversight issues, with 44% of software executives identifying increasing technical debt and AI sprawl as critical risks. Addressing these scaling challenges will be essential to realizing AI’s full potential in a responsible way.

“A lot of organizations started with pilots a year ago or even prior to that, but now they’re starting to see real efficiency gains in areas like code generation and application testing,” says Michael Harper, Managing Director at KPMG LLP. “Those activities are giving organizations more confidence in using these tools and helping them to move forward.”

SKINARMA’s JAGER collection redefines street-smart carry with raw utility and urban edge


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2025 – SKINARMA has launched the JAGER collection, a versatile lineup built for everyday explorers who need gear that keeps up with their pace. Crafted with functionality and durability in mind, these five bags blend classic styling with modern features, offering earth-toned designs that work from city streets to off-grid escapes. Whether for daily commutes, weekend travel, or outdoor use, JAGER is made to look sharp and perform under pressure.

SKINARMA introduces new functional ripstop bags in a range of sizes and colors with the JAGER carry collection.
SKINARMA introduces new functional ripstop bags in a range of sizes and colors with the JAGER carry collection.

Each bag in the JAGER collection is made with water-resistant ripstop nylon, woven to handle everyday wear while keeping your essentials protected. Smart pocket placement and padded compartments make organization simple, whether you’re commuting, traveling, or moving through your day. With a clean, modern design and functional details, JAGER delivers practical performance with a street-ready look.

The Foldtop Backpack is the standout of the JAGER collection, created for those who need a reliable carry that does it all. It holds a 14” laptop with room for everyday gear, and side pockets keep bottles or small items close at hand. Front utility loops offer quick-access storage, while its foldtop closure adds extra protection and a sharp urban silhouette. It’s built tough for travel, work, or outdoor use—so your backpack is never what holds you back.

Next, the Zip Utility Tote gives you space without bulk. Its wide-mouth opening makes packing easy, and five interior pockets keep things organized. Three outer pockets let you grab essentials quickly. With adjustable straps, you can carry it how you want—over the shoulder, by hand, or crossbody. It’s a solid upgrade from the usual tote bag.

The Cargo-Pocket Crossbody is compact but built for flexibility. Dual compartments, utility loops, and an expandable bottle pocket give you plenty of space for daily items. Meanwhile, a magnetic strap clasp makes it quick to take off, and a full-length back zip pocket keeps your go-to items close. Small in size like most crossbodies, but amplified with clever features to achieve more.

The lineup continues with the Clutch Bag, lightweight and easy to carry with four interior pockets to keep your items in place. Interchangeable straps let you wear it your way—shoulder, wrist, or crossbody. The rugged cross-hatch material nods to outdoor gear, but the clean shape keeps it ready for the city.

Lastly, the 14” Laptop Sleeve is padded to protect your device on the move. Utility pockets give you extra space for cables, chargers, or other gear, and a hidden handle makes it easy to grab and go. Designed for people who take their tech everywhere, it combines day-to-day utility with outdoor-inspired cues.

JAGER breaks down the walls between tech, fashion, and lifestyle. Shattering the outdated idea that function means dull or boring, SKINARMA delivers tech-integrated designs inspired by expedition-level durability—not limited by traditional carry gear. When your gear understands your hustle, everything falls into place.

“The JAGER collection represents the brand’s signature take on practical, functional carry,” said Darren Tan, Lead Principal Designer at SKINARMA. “We put careful thought into all aspects—the exterior material, combination of pockets and compartments, and even small details like zip-closures—in order to meet the traditional needs of everyday carry items while still standing out in a bold and distinct way.”

Upgrade your old carry. The full JAGER collection awaits at SKINARMA.com, ready to prove that raw utility and urban edge don’t have to lead separate lives.
