SUZHOU, China, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WuXi Biologics (2269.HK), a leading global Contract Research, Development and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO), announced that its Biosafety Testing Center in Suzhou has successfully passed a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) inspection by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) with zero critical findings. This marks the fourth time the facility has successfully received EMA GMP certificate.
The inspection supported the European Union marketing authorization application for a total of 19 biologics from 13 clients, with the majority developed and manufactured on WuXi Biologics’ integrated platform. These products span a range of biologics modalities, including antibodies, enzymes, and fusion proteins. The EMA inspection focused on biosafety quality control testing for cell banks and commercial unprocessed bulk associated with these products.
GMP-compliant biosafety quality control testing of commercial unprocessed bulk is a key part of pre-license inspections for biologics seeking marketing authorization in the European Union and remains a focus in routine inspections of commercial products. The four-day inspection covered areas such as quality management, facilities and equipment, testing methods, standard operating procedures, computerized systems and personnel. The Suzhou facility’s quality system, infrastructure, technical capabilities, data integrity and organizational management were highly recognized by the EMA.
Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, commented: “From preliminary safety validation at cell bank and harvest stages to final quality control at commercial batch release, biosafety testing spans critical stages across the entire lifecycle of biologics, ensuring compliance with rigorous regulatory requirements from development through commercialization. We remain committed to maintaining a high-quality system aligned with global GMP standards as a cornerstone to ensure product quality. This capability is consistently demonstrated and implemented across our global network, reflecting our long-standing commitment to enabling our partners and ultimately benefiting patients worldwide.”
WuXi Biologics’ Biosafety Testing Center has two facilities in Suzhou and Shanghai, offering comprehensive services including cell bank characterization for CHO, HEK293, and E. coli expression systems, diverse biologics biosafety testing, GMP-compliant release testing for commercial products, and GLP-compliant viral clearance studies supported by high-quality in-house virus production platform. As of December 2025, WuXi Biologics’ Biosafety Testing Center has successfully enabled over 1,700 IND or BLA applications. Its high-quality system and technical capabilities have been widely recognized by global regulatory authorities and clients.
In additional to EMA, WuXi Biologics’ Biosafety Testing Center has received multiple recognitions from other global regulatory authorities. It has successfully completed remote interactive evaluation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and has passed inspections by China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), Health Canada (HC), the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia, and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of Japan, as well as more than 510 quality audits conducted by global clients.

Scaling human-centred AI recruitment across 10 countries, Adecco is increasing speed, fill rates and candidate access through its growing network of AI agents.
ZURICH, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Adecco, the world’s leading workforce solutions provider, today announced a major milestone in its AI transformation: more than one million AI-powered candidate interactions delivered across ten countries. Supported by strategic technology partnerships, the business is already seeing measurable impact at scale, including faster hiring, stronger fill rates and improved access for candidates.
In total, Adecco has now recorded 1.2 million candidate-agent interactions – including 250,000 fully completed interviews across 50,000 jobs – equating to more than 12 years of continuous conversation time.
AI agents across the full recruitment lifecycle
Adecco has deployed AI agents across seven distinct stages of the recruitment lifecycle, covering pre-screening, talent pool management, recruiter support, customer service, onboarding and voice capability. Together, they represent a broader transformation of recruitment delivery, rather than a single-point automation.
Quality of experience is high, with 51% of interactions taking place outside traditional working hours. This gives candidates greater flexibility and access, while allowing recruiters to focus more of their time on meaningful human connection.
Business results are just as compelling. In lead markets, this transformation has helped cut time-to-deliver by 50% and drive fill rates above 80%, while achieving customer satisfaction scores of 4.3 out of 5.
Redeployment
One of the most distinctive innovations is Adecco’s Redeployment Agent. Rather than leaving candidates to restart their search when an assignment ends, it proactively reconnects within days, captures feedback and builds a personalised profile of future opportunities. The result is a smoother transition for candidates and a stronger path to continued employment.
These agents are also changing how Adecco’s recruiters work, automating repetitive tasks such as pre-screening, shortlisting and workflow coordination, and freeing teams to focus on what matters most: building relationships with clients and candidates to make better, faster placements.
Scaling for high-volume markets
Leveraging a successful one-year experimentation phase across Latin America, Adecco is now preparing to expand its high-volume recruitment capability into additional countries, particularly in sectors that require large-scale talent deployment.
The move underlines Adecco’s view of AI as more than an efficiency tool. Instead, it’s seen as a scalable capability that can support consistent, high-quality candidate experiences and growth in markets where speed, volume and precision matter most.
Christophe Catoir, Global President and CEO, Adecco, comments: “At 1.2 million interactions, this is no longer about potential, it’s about proven impact.
“Our approach is built on talent, tech and touch: AI and human connection working together. With exclusive agents trained on an unparalleled volume of daily candidate engagements, we’re turning that belief into measurable outcomes – for clients, candidates and recruiters – without ever losing the local presence from our 3,500 branches that sets us apart.
“It shows that, when AI is designed around people, it can expand access, improve speed and deliver better results. That’s the opportunity Adecco is bringing to life at scale.”
Part of a broader AI transformation
Adecco’s AI rollout is accelerating as part of a broader business transformation. Additional agents and expansions are already scheduled over the next two months, extending Adecco’s AI-enabled recruitment model into further high-growth talent markets.
These milestones support The Adecco Group’s broader strategy to help transform recruitment through the responsible and ethical use of AI. Adecco is now translating that strategy into frontline outcomes with greater speed, scale and consistency.

Luvina Software Singapore officially launches as a trusted technology partner for AI-powered transformation and enterprise modernisation across APAC
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – After more than two decades of delivering enterprise-grade software engineering and digital transformation solutions to multinational corporations and leading Japanese enterprises, Luvina Software Singapore today officially launches its operations in Singapore, marking a significant milestone in its global growth strategy and reinforcing the Republic’s role as a regional hub for advanced technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital innovation.
Management, partners, and guests commemorate the official launch of Luvina Software Singapore. (Front row, second from left: Lynn Le, Director of Luvina Singapore; Ethan Lim, CEO of Luvina Software Singapore; and Le Quang Luong, Co-Founder and CEO of Luvina Software).
Established as a strategic joint venture between Luvina Software Vietnam and Singapore-based consulting firm GleamCore, Luvina Software Singapore aims to serve as a trusted gateway for organisations seeking high-quality, scalable and cost-efficient digital transformation solutions across the Asia Pacific region and beyond. The official inauguration was commemorated in the presence of Mr Cao Xuan Thang, Commercial Counsellor and Head of the Vietnam Trade Office in Singapore, alongside other senior representatives from the Embassy of Vietnam in Singapore, including senior diplomatic and trade officials, as well as strategic partners, enterprise leaders and key stakeholders from Singapore’s technology ecosystem.
The Singapore office represents a strategic move to bridge a growing gap in the digital economy, where organisations are under mounting pressure to modernise legacy systems, adopt AI and scale technological capabilities amid rising costs and talent shortages.
As businesses worldwide accelerate digitalisation, Singapore has emerged as one of the world’s most trusted technology ecosystems and a strategic gateway between East and West, with strong global connectivity, a highly developed regulatory environment and growing leadership in AI and Smart Nation initiatives.
Luvina Software’s decision to establish a presence in Singapore comes amid growing demand for trusted technology partners capable of delivering measurable outcomes. While many businesses prioritise digital transformation, organisations continue to face barriers including high implementation costs, delivery quality consistency, fragmented technology ecosystems and shortages in specialised engineering talent.
Singapore’s investments into frontier technologies, including more than S$1 billion committed towards National AI Research & Development between 2025 and 2030, further reinforce the nation’s position as a trusted global AI hub and a launchpad for regional and international expansion.
Founded in 2004 in Hanoi, Vietnam, Luvina Software has grown into a globally trusted software engineering company with over 750 employees, 1,000+ projects delivered, and more than 110 enterprise clients worldwide across sectors including insurance, banking, healthcare, manufacturing and retail. Impressively, 95% of its clients have remained with the company for at least a decade, underscoring its longstanding reputation for consistency, quality and reliability.
Luvina Software also operates delivery centres in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, alongside international footprints in Japan, the United States and now Singapore, enabling seamless hybrid and offshore delivery models for clients across global markets.
Its long-standing experience serving discerning Japanese corporations has shaped a delivery philosophy rooted in precision, accountability and rigorous governance, supported by globally recognised certifications including ISO 27001 and CMMI Level 3 for both Services and Development.
At the heart of Luvina Software Singapore’s proposition is a unique operating model that combines Singapore-based strategic advisory and governance with Vietnam’s large-scale engineering capability, allowing enterprises to modernise systems and accelerate innovation without compromising quality or control.
Enterprise Systems Modernisation & Managed Business Platforms
High-Performance Engineering Capacity Enablement
Through its AI-enabled Offshore Development Centre (ODC) model, Luvina integrates AI-assisted software engineering into software planning, coding, testing and deployment, helping organisations accelerate delivery timelines, reduce inefficiencies and improve operational scalability while maintaining strict governance and quality assurance.
Rather than merely acting as a software vendor, Luvina positions itself as a long-term transformation partner, offering end-to-end accountability from technology strategy and implementation to long-term support and optimisation.
As part of its Singapore growth strategy, Luvina Software Singapore intends to work closely with solution providers, system integrators, professional service firms, venture capital and private equity firms, as well as enterprises seeking to co-develop scalable digital products for regional and international markets.
The company has already secured momentum in the Singapore market, having acquired more than a dozen local projects, with plans to further expand its presence across Southeast Asia, Australia and Europe in subsequent phases of growth.
Among its growing portfolio of clients are Nomura Research Institute Ltd., Japan’s largest economic research, management consulting and IT systems integration firm; CRESCO Ltd., a prominent Japanese IT systems integrator and software development company; and CRESCO Vietnam Co. Ltd., the Vietnam subsidiary of the CRESCO Group providing offshore development and IT solutions for Japanese enterprises. The portfolio also included Soliton Systems K.K., a specialist in cybersecurity, identity management, and secure access technologies, reinforcing Luvina Software Singapore’s reputation as a trusted technology partner for enterprise transformation and high-performance software delivery.
Mr Le Quang Luong, Co-Founder and CEO of Luvina Software, said, “Singapore represents not only a new market for us but it’s also a strategic gateway for how we intend to co-create the future of enterprise technology across the region. As organisations face mounting pressure to modernise, adopt AI and scale with confidence, businesses do not simply need more technology vendors; they need trusted partners who can bridge strategy, execution and measurable outcomes.”
“Through Luvina Software Singapore, we bring together Singapore’s global connectivity and governance strengths, Vietnam’s engineering excellence, and Japan’s deeply rooted standards of quality and reliability to help organisations transform with greater speed, confidence and accountability. Ultimately, we are here to turn complex work into outcomes businesses can count on,” added Mr Ethan Lim, CEO of Luvina Software Singapore.
Looking ahead, Luvina Software Singapore intends to deepen its role in helping enterprises modernise legacy systems, accelerate AI adoption and co-develop scalable digital solutions that can be commercialised globally, reinforcing Singapore’s role as a strategic innovation hub for the region.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Amid the global wave of technological advancement, the next generation of young leaders is presented with unprecedented growth opportunities. As such, today’s youth must learn beyond the boundary of traditional classrooms, engage with real communities, tackle social challenges with creative thinking, and chart sustainable paths for the future of humanity. To nurture young talents and turn inspiring ideas into tangible action, the Third Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program is now open for applications.

Since its inception in 2024, the annual program has spent three consecutive years fostering outstanding young social innovators across Asia. The 2026 summer camp will be hosted by The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and will center on the theme “Art + AI for Social Good.” It equips participants with practical AI skills, inspires creativity through art, and encourages collaboration across disciplines and cultures. Top teams from the Creative Challenge will receive seed funding and one-on-one mentorship to further scale their projects, boosting youth-led social innovation across Hong Kong and the broader Asian region.
Representing much more than a regular summer camp, this long-term initiative empowers young people to take action and drive social entrepreneurship. The past two cohorts have gathered nearly 100 exceptional high school students from all over Asia, with around 90% of them giving overwhelmingly positive feedback on their learning experience.
“I used to believe leadership was all about individual excellence,” shared a former participant. “Working in teams taught me that true leadership lies in uniting people and moving forward together.”
The previous sessions were held at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), with official support from the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) under the Singapore Youth Programme. Under the guidance of seasoned practitioners from government, business, academia and social sectors, participants translated creative concepts into implementable projects. Standout initiatives including Silver Sayang which dedicated to alleviating elderly loneliness, and NourishMind which leverages AI to promote mental wellness and mindfulness, have secured seed funding and ongoing incubation support, delivering lasting social value. These success stories prove that young people can make a real difference when given the right platform and resources.
Richard Buttrey, Program Director at ARM, a world-leading semiconductor IP provider affiliated with the University of Cambridge and a veteran mentor of the program, commented, “Philanthropy is not always linked to young people. While youths may lack financial means, they hold a strong sense of fairness and justice, a quality widely recognized by top academic institutions, enterprises and the whole society.”
Viswa Sadasivan, former Member of Parliament of Singapore, also spoke highly of the program. “Participants will visit renowned charitable foundations and NGOs throughout the camp. We adopt immersive, experiential learning to make growth engaging and rewarding. Joining this program marks the first step toward a lifelong journey of giving and service.”
Keeping pace with AI trends, the 2026 program will select 50 outstanding young talents for a five-day immersive learning experience in Hong Kong. Participants will attend structured entrepreneurship workshops to develop sustainable business models, turning social solutions into financially viable and long-running public welfare projects. The core highlights of this year’s program are as follows:
Expert-led Workshops: Hands-on training in AI creative application, leadership development, public speaking and social project design.
Field Visits: On-site tours of local Hong Kong communities and NGOs to gain first-hand insights into social welfare issues.
Art + AI Creative Challenge: Cross-team competitions for innovative social impact solutions, with seed funding awarded to winning teams.
Concurrently, a dedicated Welfare Support Scheme is also launched alongside the main program. Full sponsorship, including travel expenses and accommodations, will be provided for students from remote impoverished areas in China and disadvantaged students worldwide, including student leaders among left-behind children supported by the Maitian Project. Online courses are additionally available for youth across Asia who are passionate about philanthropy. We welcome innovative-minded high school students to join us in Hong Kong this summer, and explore boundless possibilities where technology, art and social change intersect.
Program & Application Information
Venue: The University of Hong Kong
Eligibility: Youth aged 14 to 20, including high school and university students, with a passion for innovation, entrepreneurship and social welfare
Scholarship: All 50 selected participants will receive full scholarships covering all course and activity fees

Banque Franco-Lao and International Finance Corporation launched a USD10 million risk-sharing facility to expand SME financing, support business growth, and create jobs across Laos. Nicolas Pluchart, Deputy Managing Director of BFL Bred Group (left) and Thomas Jacobs, IFC Country Manager for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos (right). Vientiane, Laos. 17 June 2026.
On 17 June, Banque Franco-Lao Ltd. (BFL Bred Group) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) signed a new financing agreement aimed at widening access to credit for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Laos, targeting growth and job creation across the country.
The partnership establishes a Risk Sharing Facility (RSF) under which BFL and IFC will each contribute up to USD 5 million, creating a combined USD10 million SME loan portfolio.
The facility is designed to extend credit to businesses that typically struggle to access formal financing, while helping BFL manage lending risk in a challenging market environment.
SMEs form the core of the Lao economy, representing 99 percent of all registered businesses and accounting for 94 percent of formal employment. Yet access to bank credit remains limited, with only 27 percent of SMEs currently able to obtain financing, a gap the new facility directly targets.
Nicolas Pluchart, Deputy Managing Director of BFL Bred Group, said the facility would allow the bank to reach entrepreneurs who drive real economic activity.
“This risk-sharing facility strengthens our ability to safely extend capital to high-potential entrepreneurs who drive the real economy, create jobs, and support inclusive growth across Lao PDR,” he said.
Alongside the financial arrangement, IFC will provide technical assistance to strengthen BFL’s environmental and social risk management practices and support the bank in developing SME offerings for new market segments. Through the initiative, BFL has set a target to double its SME portfolio by 2028, with the expansion expected to generate both direct and indirect employment opportunities across the country.
Thomas Jacobs, IFC Country Manager for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, said the collaboration demonstrated how targeted de-risking tools can expand financing for underserved businesses.
“By combining our risk-sharing facility with targeted technical assistance, we are helping a leading local bank safely double its reach,” Jacobs said.
“Creative de-risking mechanisms can empower underserved smaller businesses, build market resilience, and generate sustainable employment.”
The transaction operates under IFC’s Small Loan Guarantee Program, backed by the International Development Association Private Sector Window Blended Finance Facility, a structure designed to scale up SME financing in fragile and low-income markets.
The IFC is the world’s largest development institution focused exclusively on the private sector in emerging markets, and a member of the World Bank Group operating in over 100 countries.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 June 2026 – Seafood Expo Asia/Seafood Processing Asia, organized by Diversified, announces its 2026 conference program ahead of the fourteenth edition of the event, taking place 2–4 September at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore. Free to attend to all registered visitors, this year’s program brings leading voices from the industry and across technology and policy to address the defining challenges and opportunities shaping seafood’s future across Asia and beyond.
Seafood Expo Asia/Seafood Processing Asia Conference Program
Consumer Trust & Market Dynamics
A session titled Seafood in the Spotlight: Trust. Taste. Tomorrow’s Consumer will present findings from a GlobeScan bi-annual survey commissioned by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), tracking consumer attitudes across 20+ global markets. Fresh from its debut at Seafood Expo Global in April, the research lands in Singapore at a critical moment. Attendees will explore how rising sustainability expectations, cost-of-living pressures and shifting retail dynamics are reshaping purchasing decisions and what it takes to build durable consumer trust.
The most pressing issues facing the Asian shrimp trade will be discussed in a session around rebalancing export-dependent supply as demand and price signals shift across major markets. Amid reduced China import pull, elevated US tariffs and uneven farm output trends, these forces are already reshaping trade flows, pricing power and production planning decisions and will determine which Asian producers can protect margins and maintain market access in 2026–2027.
Innovation & Technology
A panel of industry insiders will discuss the rapid rise of recirculating aquaculture systems across the region in RAS Fish Farming: Why is Asia Leading the Way. The panel will deliver an honest assessment of real-world challenges alongside compelling results already being achieved in markets across Asia, and what this leadership position means for the future of sustainable fish production worldwide.
A session around Asia’s growing demand for seafood processing will discuss how advanced automation, productivity gains and a sharper focus on consumer trends are significantly changing the industry across Asia. Challenging market conditions are driving the industry to rethink the future of the processing environment, with innovative tools and precise systems now enabling processors to optimize resource utilization and promote sustainability to drive maximum profit. The session features Marcel Franz, Managing Director of BAADER Asia and Nils Rabe, Global Sales Director Fish at BAADER.
Eric Enno Tamm, CEO of ThisFish Inc. will map the practical and transformative applications of AI across seafood supply chains in The Definitive Guide to AI & the Tuna Value Chain. From machine learning and computer vision to generative AI and AI agents, Tamm will outline how these technologies are already reshaping operations and offer a forward-looking vision of what an AI-optimized tuna value chain could look like from boat to plate.
Food Integrity & Digital Resilience
FAO GLOBEFISH convenes a timely session on Aquatic Food Fraud: Mislabeling, Market Demand and Consumer Trust. Drawing on FAO’s recent technical paper on food fraud in the fisheries and aquaculture sector, the session will examine a problem of significant scale: up to 20% of fisheries and aquaculture products may be mislabeled globally, with fraud particularly prevalent in processed products, restaurants and catering. The session will examine how price incentives, supply chain complexity and governance gaps interact to enable fraud, and what governments, industry, retailers and standard-setting bodies are doing to address it.
The Invisible Net: Securing the Digital Integrity and Resilience of the Asian Seafood Supply Chain is a session led by the President of the Cyber Security Alliance for the Seafood Industry (CSAFI) that will discuss the emerging risk for the sector. As seafood supply chains become increasingly powered by IoT-enabled processing plants, AI-driven logistics and blockchain-backed traceability, they also become vulnerable to cyberattack. With incidents on global logistics networks rising over 900% in five years, a single breach can trigger immediate product spoilage, financial loss and reputational damage.
The session will present a 2026 roadmap for protecting operational technology, defending traceability data against digital fraud and making the business case for cybersecurity as a core ESG and trade compliance imperative.
