Collaboration brings HUMAIN ONE to global markets, enabling generative artificial intelligence-driven operating models for organizations worldwide.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HUMAIN, a PIF company delivering full-stack artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities globally, today announced an expansion of its strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) through HUMAIN ONE, a new initiative to accelerate enterprise AI adoption globally. The first-of-its-kind generative AI enterprise operating system will redefine how organizations operate.

HUMAIN ONE, Powered by AWS, Will Be the Industry’s First Enterprise-Grade Operating System for Building, Deploying, and Governing Autonomous AI Agents at Scale

The collaboration will benefit from the upcoming launch of the AWS Region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Like all AWS Regions, the AWS Saudi Region will be a cluster of data centers, architected to meet the highest levels of availability, security, compliance and data protection, where organizations of all sizes can run cloud and generative AI workloads. With a sovereign-by-design approach, it will support sovereign generative AI deployments for regulated industries across the Kingdom.

HUMAIN ONE will also be available on AWS Marketplace globally, providing customers worldwide with seamless access to the operating system.

The collaboration brings together HUMAIN’s AI innovation with AWS’s global cloud infrastructure and advanced generative AI capabilities. Together, HUMAIN and AWS will enable enterprises and governments worldwide to transition from fragmented, application-based ecosystems to unified, generative AI-driven, agentic operating models.

Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, said: “Enterprise AI has reached an inflection point where organizations are no longer looking for experimentation, but for measurable value at scale. That requires a fundamentally new operating system for how work gets done. Our partnership with AWS gives HUMAIN ONE the global reach needed to deliver on that promise. Together, we are enabling enterprises to move from pilots to fully scaled, production-grade generative AI where it is embedded into every application and workflow and drives real, tangible outcomes at a global scale.”

Tanuja Randery, Managing Director and Vice President for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at AWS, said: “The next generation of enterprise technology will be built through deep partnerships that bring together AI innovation and global cloud infrastructure. That is what our expanded collaboration with HUMAIN represents. Innovators like HUMAIN are shaping the future of AI development and deployment, and we’re proud to be partnering with them to put the most advanced generative artificial intelligence tools in the hands of builders and business leaders across the Middle East and beyond, helping them turn ambition into real enterprise outcomes.”

Built with enterprise-grade security, data sovereignty and regulatory compliance at its core, HUMAIN ONE on AWS enables organizations to adopt agentic generative AI across their organization without compromising governance or control. The generative AI operating system integrates development, data, orchestration, and governance into a single, cohesive system.

Core components include:

• HUMAIN Code – A development workspace for designing, building, and deploying generative AI products
• HUMAIN Guardian – A quality assurance engine ensuring performance, reliability, and continuous validation
• HUMAIN Eye – An automated security engine designed to detect, monitor, and mitigate risk across generative AI systems
• H2O Platform + SDK – A developer toolkit enabling the creation and orchestration of intelligent agents within HUMAIN Code
• HUMAIN Fabric – A scalable data infrastructure enabling ingestion, processing, and governance of data across the enterprise

Through AWS, HUMAIN ONE will leverage scalable compute, and advanced generative AI infrastructure, across 39 global Regions and 123 Availability Zones to support deployments across industries and geographies.

Leveraging AWS’s proven Marketplace, HUMAIN ONE will be available to enterprises worldwide, making it faster and easier for customers to deploy and integrate the operating system within their existing AWS environments.

Today’s announcement advances the strategic partnership between the two companies and the joint plan announced in May 2025 to invest more than $5 billion in AI infrastructure, AWS services, and AI training and talent development in Saudi Arabia.

SOFTSWISS, a global technology company providing software for the iGaming industry, celebrates two years of collaboration with Rubens Barrichello, Non-Executive Director in Latin America.

SAO PAULO, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Over the past two years of collaboration with Rubens Barrichello, SOFTSWISS has significantly strengthened its presence in Brazil. In Q1 2026, compared to Q1 2025, the B2B tech provider grew total bets by 65% and GGR by 64%.

2 Years of Partnership: SOFTSWISS & Rubens Barrichello

The company has also scaled its local presence from a single representative to a dedicated team focused on business development, account management, and marketing. This expansion improves client service, ensuring timely assistance and project delivery across the region.

As one of Brazil’s most recognised racing figures, Barrichello plays a key role in bridging the company with the local market, supporting educational initiatives and engaging with partners. He has also represented SOFTSWISS at major industry events, including Futurecom 2025 and BiS SiGMA South America 2026.

“I am pleased with our productive partnership. In our third year, our focus is on continuing to build on what we have started. I look forward to helping the team engage partners through racing experiences – it’s a way to share something personal while building real connections,” commented Rubens Barrichello.

Following several rounds of strategic sessions with C-level management, the company has defined key business objectives for 2026. One of the priorities is inspired by Rubens Barrichello’s multidisciplinary experience – delivering solutions faster to accelerate product development and improve productivity across business functions.

Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, commented: “As a lifelong racing fan, I know that in business, just like on the track, milliseconds can define success. Speed and precision matter even more over long distances. This is exactly what Rubens inspires in our daily work. It is this mindset that has helped shape our position in the industry and will continue to drive us forward.”

This focus is already showing results. In just two months, the SOFTSWISS team launched a new B2B product. It enables iGaming operators to offer event-based wagering on real-world events via a fixed-odds model, meeting evolving audience demand while staying within their familiar business domain.

Its ESG Score ranks in the top 2% of the global insurance industry, driving ESG leadership through Climate, Health and Empowerment.

TAIPEI, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cathay Financial Holdings (Cathay FHC) has reinforced its position as a global sustainability leader, securing inclusion in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Indices (DJBIC, formerly DJSI) World Index for the eighth consecutive year and the Emerging Markets Index for the eleventh. Cathay FHC has been recognized as a Top 5% Member in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026. Notably, its ESG Score ranks in the top 2% of the global insurance industry, outperforming 98% of its international peers and highlighting its ability to translate ESG execution into a measurable competitive advantage.

The ranking highlights Cathay FHC’s strength across core governance and risk disciplines, with full scores in areas including Transparency & Reporting, Risk & Crisis Management, Policy Influence, Information Security, Sustainable Finance, Human Rights, Financial Inclusion, Customer Relations and Privacy Protection. Strong performance in Climate Strategy, Labor Practices, and Human Capital Management further signals a shift beyond compliance toward embedding sustainability into capital allocation and long-term value creation.

Cathay FHC’s strategy is anchored in three pillars—Climate, Health, and Empowerment—through which it is scaling its influence across the financial ecosystem. The company has established a Corporate Sustainability Committee under the Board of Directors as a functional committee to strengthen sustainable governance. The Committee oversees the executive-level ESG Strategy Committee and its six task forces, which are responsible for implementing sustainability initiatives.

On climate, the group is leveraging its balance sheet and investment capabilities to accelerate the low-carbon transition, influencing companies responsible for more than 200 million tons of annual carbon emissions to commit to net-zero targets, while advancing ESG disclosure standards across supply chains. Its subsidiaries, including Cathay Life Insurance, Cathay United Bank, Cathay Century Insurance and Cathay Securities were all named to the Taiwan Stock Exchange’s List of Institutional Investors with Better Stewardship Disclosure 2025.

The company is expanding its presence in renewable energy and climate finance, further strengthening its sustainability impact. Its banking and insurance arms were early movers in financing and investing in solar and offshore wind projects, while actively engaging with global initiatives such as RE100 and Climate Action 100+. Cathay Financial Holdings has stepped up its engagement with major global climate forums, maintaining a continuous presence at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP) since 2021. President Chang-Ken Lee has also been invited for three consecutive years to the World Climate Summit to present Asia-focused perspectives on climate finance.

In addition, in 2025, Cathay FHC further integrated biodiversity and natural capital into its decision-making processes and announced its endorsement of the Belém Investor Statement on Tropical Forests, demonstrating its support for global forest conservation efforts.

Beyond climate, Cathay FHC is extending its impact through financial health initiatives. Cathay Life Insurance has advanced its “Wellness” brand value since 2024, investing over NT$200 million to build “Wellness” promotion mechanisms, while embedding incentive-based wellness features across its health insurance portfolio to incorporate preventive care into customers’ daily lives. Its annual “Every Step Counts” campaign has drawn nearly one million participants, collectively logged over 272.7 billion steps and contributed more than NT$28 million to charitable causes nationwide.

Serving more than 60% of Taiwan’s population, the group is deploying integrated insurance, banking and asset management capabilities to enhance financial resilience. Its efforts span financial literacy, inclusive product design and anti-fraud infrastructure, where a multi-layered defense framework has delivered tangible results in fraud prevention, reinforcing trust in the financial system. Cathay United Bank prevented over 2,000 fraud cases in 2025, averting more than NT$1.7 billion in losses, according to the latest statistics from Taiwan’s National Police Agency.

On empowerment, Cathay FHC is advancing both workforce and societal inclusion as a driver of sustainable growth. Internally, it promotes a “Place for All” culture focused on workplace inclusion, supported by progressive workforce policies that address demographic and generational shifts. In 2025, its “Employee Engagement Survey” reached new highs in overall satisfaction, while retention within one year after parental leave approached 90%. The company was also recognized for the seventh time as one of Asia’s Best Employers, underscoring sustained external validation of its workplace strategy.

Externally, the group continues to invest in youth and women’s empowerment through education, entrepreneurship, and sports development, expanding its long-term social impact footprint.

Looking ahead, Cathay FHC is deepening its focus on low-carbon investment and financing, product innovation, and international engagement. By aligning its financial capabilities with global sustainability agendas, the company is positioning itself not only as a participant, but as a catalyst in Asia’s transition toward a net-zero economy—while strengthening its role as a benchmark institution in sustainable finance.

Joint solutions combine Blaize’s energy-efficient and industrial-grade AI chips with Winmate’s rugged platforms – including drones, handhelds, vehicle-mounted units, and embedded edge devices used by defense, border security, maritime, and healthcare operators.

TAIPEI and EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Blaize Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BZAI, Nasdaq: BZAIW) (“Blaize,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), and Winmate Inc., a publicly traded company in Taiwan, today announced they have signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement (“Agreement”) with an intent to close approximately $15 million in business during the first year. The two companies will integrate Blaize’s AI chips into Winmate’s rugged systems, including drones, handhelds, vehicle-mounted units, and embedded devices that have to keep working in the field, often in places where regular hardware can’t survive.

The companies expect the Agreement to be the start of a much larger, multi-year relationship.

Why this partnership matters

Most AI today runs in large data centers rather than at the edge, where decisions must be made in real time. This model is often impractical for soldiers at remote posts, Coast Guard crew at sea, or medics in field clinics. They often don’t have a reliable network connection, and even when they do, they can’t afford to wait for an application to respond from halfway across the globe.

That’s the gap Blaize and Winmate intend to address through this partnership. Blaize’s chips were designed to industrial grade specifications and run AI directly on the device, with no cloud dependency. Winmate’s systems are purpose-built to perform in extreme environments, including heat, cold, dust, vibration, and rough handling. Together, they deliver real-time AI capabilities exactly where it’s needed, whether in drones, field units, the patrol vehicles, or diagnostic devices.

A fast-growing market

Demand for on-device AI is accelerating. According to BCC Research^[1], the global edge AI market is projected to grow from $11.8 billion in 2025 to $56.8 billion by 2030, a 36.9% compound annual growth rate. Defense agencies, governments, hospitals, ports, and critical infrastructure operators all demand AI that can run securely on their equipment, without sending sensitive data over public networks.

From the leaders

“Our customers can’t wait, and they often can’t rely on the cloud. They need AI that runs where the work happens. Winmate makes some of the most capable rugged systems in the industry, and our chips are designed to run AI inside exactly those kinds of devices. This partnership turns a years-long vision into a practical, deployable answer for defense and critical infrastructure operators,” said Dinakar Munagala, CEO of Blaize, Inc.

“Our platforms are deployed on naval vessels, in border outposts, on industrial sites, and in disaster zones – environments where most hardware fails. With Blaize, we can now deliver those same systems with on-device AI built in, giving customers real-time intelligence wherever they operate,” said Ken Lu, Chairman and CEO of Winmate Inc.

Target applications

• Border security and surveillance: Real-time threat detection and perimeter monitoring
• Mobile command and control: On-site intelligence and situational awareness for field teams
• Drones and unmanned systems: Autonomous navigation and mission execution for UAVs and ground vehicles
• Critical infrastructure: Continuous monitoring and predictive analytics for power, ports, and transportation
• Maritime domain awareness: Vessel tracking and anomaly detection at sea
• Field healthcare: Portable diagnostics and decision support in remote and disaster environments

Deal at a glance

• First-year revenue: the parties intend to work in good faith to close approximately $15 million in business, expected to scale meaningfully in subsequent years
• Term: Three-year initial term, with automatic renewal
• Next steps: Joint engineering, sales, and marketing execution to bring integrated systems to market, with additional opportunities to be added through follow-on programs
