Pan Finance Announces the Q2 Award Winners of 2024

Published

on

LONDON, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — While the USA and the UK recorded relatively modest declines in inflation rates, the Euro Area continues to grapple with a gradual rise. Overall growth remains hampered by geopolitical tensions, unsteady trade alliances, and extreme climate events. Additionally, election-year peculiarities continue to drive a slowdown in economic activity in key nations across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, with individuals and institutions watching their political scenes closely as a key metric in spending and investment decisions.

Major central banks, forced by mixed economic indicators, opted for a more cautious, steady approach than investors expected. This quelled initial optimism for summer rate cuts and increased market jitters.

Despite all this, energy, technology, sustainability, and ESG-driven initiatives remain key drivers of interest and growth. In the second edition of 2024, Pan Finance Magazine’s cover story explores the need to measure and improve the true impact of conventional investment models on real people, especially beyond city centres. Likewise, in the over xxx pages of thought-provoking and informative content that follow, we delve into the impact of climate conditions on market movements; we explore the LSE and its recurring loss to the US; and we examine the record plunge of the Japanese yen and what it says about the true state of her economy.

Furthermore, Pan Finance continues to shine a spotlight on a variety of topics by highlighting leading examples of best practice across the financial services sector and beyond. Established to be a true measure of excellence, the Pan Finance awards look beyond the realm of the balance sheet alone, measuring success through innovation, stewardship of the environment and positive impact on society.

Javier Beltrán, CEO of CG Capital Europe stated, “We are very glad to have been recognised as Most Reliable Real Estate & Infrastructures Bank in Europe 2024 by PAN Finance Awards.  This additional award to the Firm confirms our commitment to upholding the highest standards of investment banking within the European real estate sector and our dedication to the success of our Clients.  Over the last decade, CG Capital Europe has successfully structured and executed over €6.9 billion of sale & financing transactions, underscored by a 95% success ratio (over exclusive mandates to date), which is underpinned by our devotion to clients, well-done work, independence, innovation, honesty and confidentiality.  We remain fully committed to our Clients, continually striving to improve and innovate. The best is to come as we focus on exceeding expectations, delivering exceptional value and providing an outstanding service.

The dual-LAN configuration provides an efficient solution for general industrial computing, equipment control and edge applications, while the four-LAN configuration offers additional network connectivity for applications involving multiple devices or network segments, such as machine vision, industrial automation and IoT gateways.

For applications requiring greater system expandability, the KBox F-204-RPS provides one PCIe x16 or two PCIe x8 expansion slots, offering the flexibility to integrate graphics, networking, AI acceleration or other add-on cards according to specific application requirements. With support for up to four 2.5-inch SATA HDDs/SSDs, it also provides extensive storage scalability for data-intensive workloads. These capabilities make the KBox F-204-RPS particularly suitable for industrial edge computing, machine vision, video processing and applications requiring additional functionality or large local data storage.

Together, the KBox F-203-RPS and KBox F-204-RPS enable customers to select the configuration that best matches their requirements, from a slimmer, network-focused industrial computer to a highly expandable edge computing platform.

New offering gives developers, students, and customers access to the full power of Workato’s enterprise-grade engine to build AI agents and MCP servers

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Workato®, the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, today announced the launch of a new self-service offering that gives customers, developers, and students across Asia access to the Workato platform to govern and scale their AI initiatives, including building and productionizing AI agents and MCP servers.

Making AI accessible has been at the heart of Workato’s mission the past several years. Through the AI Institute Alliance, unveiled in September 2025, Workato partnered with leading institutes of higher learning across Singapore, including Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and the National University of Singapore. The initiative equipped students and educators with automation and AI skills.

The AI Lab, which opened a year later, extended that commitment further into the public sector through its partnership with EDB, and into inclusive hiring through SG Enable.

The newly launched self-serve platform will provide users access to:

A free account to start building immediately, with the option to upgrade to a paid plan, no contract required, as projects growThe ability to build recipes, Agents/Genies, and MCP servers directly on the platformThe same governed, enterprise-grade engine that powers Workato’s largest deploymentsA path built for independent developers, students, and small teams, as well as large enterprises

Since launching in 2026 in North America, Workato has seen rapid growth in the builder community. The platform is enterprise grade, but free to get started. As builders solve problems for their business, they can grow by upgrading to a paid plan. With this launch in Singapore, Workato is making an investment in the local builder community.

“The next era of AI won’t be defined by who has access to intelligence, but by who can turn it into action. We’re putting the same enterprise-grade power trusted by the world’s largest companies into the hands of every builder. We want everyone to be able to transform how their business operates,” said Rishi Mallik, Chief Growth Officer, Workato. 

Workato showcased its self-serve platform and broader community initiatives at World of Workato (WOW) 2026 in Singapore.
