Grow with Xiaomi: Building a Sustainable Open Ecosystem for Apps, Services and Contents

Published

on

SINGAPORE, Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Xiaomi Internet Partner Conference (MIPC Singapore 2025) successfully concluded on November 27th in Singapore, bringing together over 100 leading partners from across the industry.

During the conference, Mr. Qiang Song, General Manager of Xiaomi’s International Internet Business Department, outlined the department’s business strategy. Through its extensive device network and HyperOS platform, Xiaomi enables seamless connectivity across user scenarios. This foundation supports a comprehensive and efficient application and game ecosystem, alongside content and service solutions, enhancing user experience. The company offers partners comprehensive business solutions to accelerate growth, including advertising-based user acquisition, in-app ad monetization, and game publishing services.

In the realm of apps and games distribution, Xiaomi’s official app store, GetApps, is now available in over 100 markets, with over 260 million monthly active users and more than 30 million daily installations.

Beyond popular applications, GetApps offers curated content and exclusive discounts of up to 10% on in-app purchases. For developers, it provides an open ecosystem powered by Xiaomi’s proprietary OEM capabilities. The platform’s Minicard feature enables frictionless app distribution across Xiaomi devices through end-to-end optimization, helping developers achieve 26% higher conversion rates and a 20% increase in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) when integrated with Xiaomi Payment Solution for monetization.

In content and service distribution, Xiaomi has established a new content ecosystem featuring Granular Services, powered by Xiaomi HyperOS for instant accessibility. By deconstructing apps into core service modules, Xiaomi allows users to add these services as widgets directly to their home screens with a single tap. These widgets provide live previews with real-time status updates, eliminating the need to download full apps. Through a professional widget store operating across various scenarios, users can access developers’ core services more quickly and conveniently, significantly enhancing conversion rates.

Xiaomi also excels in digital marketing through its OEM native ad experience and AI-powered platform. Using OS-level data, intelligent algorithms, and a wide range of touchpoints, developers can execute highly effective user acquisition campaigns on Xiaomi’s platform. These unique capabilities helped secure Xiaomi’s No. 3 ranking in the 2024 AppsFlyer Power Ranking for Android Non-Gaming.

For monetization, Xiaomi maximizes the commercial value of applications through the Columbus Monetization Platform. This platform helps developers boost in-app advertising revenue by combining premium direct clients with demand-side platforms, providing SDK integration for standard ad formats and processes, and offering support from a dedicated team of specialists. It has successfully integrated three mainstream mediation platforms and collaborates with over 1,500 apps across 30 regions. Combined with on-device capabilities such as Minicard, the platform delivers improved monetization performance, achieving a 10% increase in Effective Cost Per Mille (eCPM).

Xiaomi’s overseas internet business continues to show strong momentum. According to Xiaomi Corporation’s Q3 2024 quarterly results, revenue from Xiaomi’s internet services reached a record high of RMB 8.5 billion, with a gross profit margin of 77.5%. Notably, overseas internet revenue grew by 18.3% year-over-year to RMB 2.7 billion, also reaching a historical high, accounting for 32.5% of the total internet services revenue.

“Through our core system capabilities, we remain committed to building a sustainable open ecosystem for apps, services, and content that delivers optimized user experiences and efficient user acquisition, while offering partners competitive monetization opportunities,” said Mr. Qiang Song, “Staying true to our user-centric vision and ‘Grow with Xiaomi’ strategy, we will continue to create value and explore boundless possibilities for our users and partners.”

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.
