EBANX announces HQ in Singapore and forecasts a 30% growth for APAC merchants in 2026

  • Global technology company integrates local payment methods across emerging markets in Latin America, Africa, and Asia for more than 100 APAC enterprise merchants
  • 36% of EBANX’s TPV last year came from APAC companies, which will have a technology and commercial hub in the new regional HQ
  • The Headquarters will be a payments product and regulatory center for e-commerce global brands
  • EBANX’s CPO and regional CEO will be based at the new APAC center, alongside senior leaders in engineering, technology, treasury, business, and operations

SINGAPORE, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EBANX, a global technology company specializing in payment services for emerging markets, will inaugurate an Asia-Pacific Headquarters in Singapore on March 24. The HQ will further strengthen EBANX’s presence in the APAC region, where the company has been partnering with leading e-commerce merchants to support their expansion into emerging markets since its founding in 2012.

In 2025, 36% of EBANX’s Total Payment Volume (TPV) was processed for APAC. Founded in Brazil, the company serves over 100 enterprise merchants in the region, including AliExpress, Gravity Game Vision, Weverse, XTransfer, and Canva. EBANX expects 30% TPV growth in APAC in 2026, driven by purchases from consumers and businesses in over 20 emerging markets where the company processes payments.

“We keep seeing a strong expansion movement of APAC merchants into emerging markets, especially in Latin America and Africa,” said João Del Valle, CEO and Co-founder of EBANX. “In the current global landscape, companies are searching for diversified growth opportunities, strengthening South-South ties and building resilient global partnerships,” he added.

EBANX has strengthened its presence across Asia. Since 2019, the company has maintained its largest office outside Brazil in Shanghai, China, and, since 2024, a dedicated team in India. In 2025, it obtained a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Last month, Eduardo de Abreu, Chief Product Officer (CPO) of EBANX, was also appointed CEO of EBANX Singapore and relocated to the new HQ.

The expansion of EBANX’s position in APAC builds on its long-standing relationship with the region. “The first story of EBANX is truly the story of APAC merchants’ growth,” said Del Valle, emphasizing that the company’s first product, 14 years ago, was the integration of Brazilian payment methods for Chinese retail giants. Since then, the company has served more than 250 merchants based in the region.

Payment innovation and market expansion

Since 2015, Singapore has been EBANX’s primary center for funds transfer capabilities. “With the inauguration of the new Headquarters, we are strengthening our presence in one of the world’s leading hubs for innovation and technology,” said Abreu. In addition to the CPO, 25 professionals will be based at the HQ, including senior leaders overseeing engineering, technology, treasury, compliance, market development, and merchant success. 

According to the IMF, MAS has managed to strike the right balance between progress and safety and soundness, positioning the city-state as a leading example in fintech innovation and regulation. The most recent data from KPMG on Singapore’s fintech sector shows that this environment has attracted over USD 1 billion in investments in the first half of 2025 alone, with the payments vertical leading the way, accounting for 47% of the total deal value.

“EBANX’s HQ in Singapore will serve as one of the key anchors of our global product strategy, becoming a cornerstone for the development of payment solutions for e-commerce merchants around the world,” explained Abreu. The new center will also drive global market expansion, supporting North American and European companies to reach fast-growing economies such as India and the Philippines.

Precision for Medicine Continues Asia-Pacific Expansion with Opening of Japan Office

New Tokyo office strengthens local partnerships, regulatory alignment and global integrations in the world’s third largest pharmaceutical market

BETHESDA, Md., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Precision for Medicine (Precision), a global leader in biomarker-driven clinical research and development, has announced the opening of its new Japan office, deepening its commitment to the Asia-Pacific region and reinforcing its role as a bridge between local expertise and global development execution.

Japan is the third-largest pharmaceutical market globally and maintains specific expectations for locally derived clinical data in pivotal trials. This requirement has historically created challenges for sponsors incorporating Japan into their development plans. Precision’s Tokyo office and senior leadership embedded in Japan will ensure high quality delivery and consistent global governance while empowering local staff to navigate the regulatory, cultural and operational nuances that define successful trial execution in the market.

“Japan is a vital component of global clinical development,” said James Cheong, Senior Vice President, APAC, Precision. “By establishing our own office with dedicated leadership, we eliminate the gap between global trial design and Japanese regulatory expectations, offering our clients consistent global standards with the confidence that comes from genuine local presence.”

The Japan office also positions Precision to work directly with biopharmaceutical sponsors, investigators, key external experts and sites, enabling more agile operational delivery and stronger collaborations across Japan’s research ecosystem.

“Our Japan presence strengthens our ability to lead complex oncology, autoimmune and rare disease programs that are truly fit for Japanese patients, while aligned with global standards and relevancy,” said Jing Ping Yeo, Vice President, Clinical Operations, Precision. “Our on-the-ground presence ensures Japanese scientific insights, biomarker trends and regulatory expectations inform global trial design from the outset, especially in the highly specialized indications where expert local input is critical.”

The new office opening complements Precision’s extensive APAC footprint, which includes over 500 employees and offices in Singapore, Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia. Together these operations deliver fully integrated, regionally informed support for clients pursuing global market access.

“Our vision for APAC is one of full integration; not a regional add-on, but an indispensable part of how global precision medicines get developed and delivered,” said Daisy DeWeese-Gatt, President, Clinical Solutions, Precision. “The Japan office advances that vision and deepens our commitment to ensuring novel therapies reach the patients who need them most, with APAC populations fully represented.”

About Precision for Medicine

Roborock Becomes the World’s No. 1 Smart Cleaning Robot Brand, According to IDC

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock today announced that it has become the world’s No. 1 smart cleaning robot brand in 2025, according to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Smart Vacuum Robotics Tracker, 2025 (1). This recognition reflects Roborock’s technology leadership and accelerated global expansion in an industry that is currently entering a new stage of development defined by an expanding product portfolio. According to IDC, even when considering companies selling Robotic Vacuum Cleaners, Robotic Lawn Mowers, and other types of household clinic robots, Roborock has been found to be the #1 brand in terms of shipments (5.8m in 2025) and market share (17.7%). In terms of, specifically, Robot Vacuum Cleaners (RVC), Roborock has continuously ranked #1 in IDC’s ranking since 2023 H2, and repeats its success in 2025 H2 with an all-time-high 27.0% market share, becoming once again the number 1 RVC brand for third consecutive year.

Roborock Global No.1
Roborock Global No.1

Roborock is #1 Globally—and #1 in Major National Markets across America, Europe, and Asia

IDC’s analysis highlights the accelerating shift in global competitive dynamics, driven by rapid product iteration, AI development, and the growing influence of Chinese brands expanding overseas. Against this challenging backdrop, Roborock claimed for the first time the #1 global shipments and market share position not only in the Robotic Vacuum category, as it had done since 2023, but also, for the first time, as the number one vendor amongst all competitors that sell wider product categories that include robot vacuum, robotic lawn mowers, and other household cleaning products.

Narrowing down its analysis to, specifically, the Robot Vacuum Cleaner (RVC) product segment, Roborock dominated IDC’s tracking as the #1 vendor quarter after quarter, achieving its highest 27.0% market share in the second half of 2025. IDC further notes that Roborock ranked Number 1 in key national markets including the United States (Americas), Germany (Europe), and South Korea (Asia Pacific)—underscoring the strength of Roborock’s global brand and its product competitiveness across continents, diverse user needs, home types, and cleaning habits. According to IDC, Roborock’s success is supported by technological advantages, overseas expansion, and an expanded product portfolio.

Roborock’s milestone comes amid strong market momentum in the entire global household cleaning robotics industry. IDC’s latest tracking report indicates that global household cleaning robot shipments reached 32.72 million units in 2025, representing 20.1% year-over-year growth. Within that total, the Robot Vacuum Cleaner (RVC) segment shipped cumulatively in 2025 17.1% more units year-over-year, reinforcing the category’s role as the foundation of the broader household cleaning robotics market and indicating a strong momentum for its growth.

AI Capability and Cleaning Performance as Roborock’s Long-Term Differentiator

Looking ahead, IDC’s research emphasizes that the next phase of competition will be determined by sustained AI capability—including multi-sensor fusion, decision-making, scene understanding, and continual improvement in obstacle avoidance, path planning, stain recognition, self-recovery, and interaction. IDC also stresses that while “intelligence” is a key value driver, cleaning performance remains the product foundation most valued by consumers.

Roborock is widely recognized to have the most advanced cleaning algorithm in the industry. Which, powered with top-notch robotic cleaning modules, encompasses not just mopping and sweeping, but also tasks in the vertical axis thanks to the Roborock Saros Z70’s OmniGrip robotic arm.

The Saros Z70 is currently the only model on sale in the entire industry with an algorithm capable of recognizing, moving, and storing small objects according to the user’s pre-set locations. Unvelling its latest work-in-progress Roborock Saros Rover at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2026 earlier this year in Las Vegas, Roborock demonstrated a continuous trend in the investment of new AI algorythms that can enable its robot to clean stairs, move cross slopes of various degrees, and transition into new spaces not covered by any other Robotic Vacuum Cleaner.

At CES 2026, Roborock also redefined the premium home cleaning technology landscape with the global debut of the Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic, marking a significant improvement in ultra-slim, high-performance engineering, ensuring a truly autonomous clean that transitions seamlessly between rooms and floor surfaces, from delicate hardwood to heavy-duty carpeting.

Roborock’s global leadership in smart home robot cleaning comes as the company continues to broaden its product and technology roadmap. In September 2025, Roborock entered the robot lawnmower category in Europe. In January 2026, announced it for the United States. Together with the Saros Rover, they reflect the company’s wider ambition to bring robotics beyond a single room or task and into more areas of everyday life.

MELBOURNE, Australia, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CFD Broker Mitrade has been recognised with five international industry awards across broker education, regulatory standards and multi-asset trading, as Australian financial markets navigate heightened volatility driven by Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) policy expectations and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
