Kong Continues Strong Momentum in Singapore as Demand for AI Connectivity Rises

SINGAPORE, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kong Inc., a leading developer of API and AI connectivity technologies, today announced two major expansions in Singapore: the availability of Dedicated Cloud Gateways and the regional hosting of the Kong Konnect control plane. Organizations across Singapore are showing growing interest in modern platforms to safely and reliably connect AI to data and applications, reflecting confidence in the city-state as a global hub for innovation and digital growth. Kong also continues to expand its investment in Singapore as a strategic hub for Asia Pacific operations.

The company is growing its regional go-to-market and site reliability engineering teams, while strengthening local leadership with senior technical roles based in Singapore, to best support enterprise customers, technology partners, and developers across the region. By combining local expertise with regional infrastructure, Kong aims to provide faster response times, deeper customer engagement, and stronger alignment with the evolving needs of organizations building AI-driven platforms.

“Singapore has established itself as one of the most important technology and innovation hubs in Asia Pacific, with both Enterprise and Government sectors leading the adoption of cloud and AI-first platforms,” said David Carless, Vice President, Asia Pacific and Japan, Kong. “We continue to see strong demand in the region for unified platforms like Kong Konnect that can provide secure, high performance connectivity across APIs, AI services, and events while meeting security, regulatory, and data governance requirements.”

Kong Konnect, the unified API and AI platform, is already adopted by many top enterprises across Singapore. These technologies are used by leading organizations including Seaco, a global provider of intermodal container leasing and asset management services, that implemented Kong Konnect to unify governance and streamline communications with partners worldwide.

Dedicated Cloud Gateway and Konnect In Singapore

With Dedicated Cloud Gateways now available in Singapore, organizations can deploy Kong Gateway and Kong AI Gateway on single tenant infrastructure while Kong manages the control plane, infrastructure lifecycle, and ongoing operations. Available on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, this fully managed approach delivers low latency performance, high availability, and in-region data residency while keeping sensitive API and AI traffic within Singapore to meet local compliance requirements.

In addition, Kong Konnect now supports regional control plane deployment in Singapore, allowing organizations to manage configuration, policy, and governance for their API and AI infrastructure from within the region. By hosting the Konnect control plane locally, enterprises can align with regional data residency and compliance expectations while reducing operational latency for teams operating across Asia Pacific. This capability complements Dedicated Cloud Gateways by enabling both management and traffic layers to operate within the same regional environment.

Long-Standing IMDA-Accredited status

This regional availability builds on Kong’s established presence in Singapore, including being accredited by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore. The IMDA Accreditation recognizes Kong as a trusted enterprise technology provider and validates the company’s ability to meet stringent technical, security, and operational requirements. Being accredited helps streamline procurement for public sector and regulated organizations, reinforcing Kong’s role of having a secure and compliant unified API and AI platform for enterprises operating in Singapore.

“Kong’s ongoing investment in local infrastructure and talent is helping organisations build advanced digital and AI-driven services, while simultaneously enabling best-in-class governance and compliance adherence,” said Mr. Edwin Low, Director, Enterprise & Ecosystem Development, IMDA. “Maintaining Singapore’s position as a global digital hub depends on strong collaboration with technology providers that demonstrate robust security, reliability, and compliance standards.”

Redox and Lapsi Health Collaborate to Bring Industry-Leading AI-Powered Tools Directly Into EHR Workflows

Published

Fragmented Clinical Workflows Stall Enterprise AI Adoption. Lapsi Health and Redox Connect AI Documentation, Clinical Reference, and Diagnostic Support Directly Into the EHR So Clinicians Never Have to Leave the Chart.

MADISON, Wis. and AMSTERDAM, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Redox and Lapsi Health today announced a collaboration aimed at addressing one of healthcare’s biggest challenges: workflow fragmentation.

As health systems and other healthcare organizations rapidly adopt AI technologies, clinicians are often forced to navigate multiple disconnected systems for documentation, clinical research, diagnostics, and patient care. While AI capabilities continue to improve, implementation and adoption stagnate when those tools fail to integrate into existing clinical workflows.

Together, Lapsi Health and Redox are helping healthcare organizations overcome that challenge by connecting the Keikku Clinical Platform with existing EHR infrastructure.

Keikku is an AI clinical platform that combines AI-powered documentation, contextual clinical reference, diagnostic support, and purpose-built clinical hardware within a single connected workflow. As Lapsi Health’s healthcare data interoperability partner, Redox provides a direct path to integrate with health systems’ EHRs, without building each connection from scratch. That’s possible through Redox’s Connection Network, spanning more than 12,000 healthcare organizations and systems, including over 100 EHRs, as well as revenue cycle platforms, state and regional HIEs, and more.

“Healthcare doesn’t need more disconnected AI tools. Teams need solutions that integrate naturally into existing clinical workflows,” said Rodrigo Alvez, Chief Technology Officer at Lapsi Health. “Our collaboration with Redox helps healthcare organizations reduce integration complexity, accelerate implementation, and connect AI-powered clinical intelligence with the systems clinicians already rely on every day.”

Redox recently launched an industry-leading suite of AI capabilities built to help integration teams move faster, reinforcing its role as the healthcare data infrastructure layer that AI-powered applications like Keikku depend on to run in production.

By combining Keikku’s clinical AI platform with Redox’s interoperability capabilities, organizations can simplify implementation and create a more connected clinical experience.

“The question healthcare organizations are asking isn’t whether AI is ready; it’s how to get it running in their production environment without a twelve-month implementation and a dedicated team to maintain it,” said Rachel Witalec, Chief Product Officer at Redox. “What Redox brings to this collaboration is a data infrastructure layer that fast-tracks the hard integration work upfront and keeps it running. That’s the foundation Keikku needs to perform in the real world.”

Through Redox, health systems can integrate Keikku into existing EHR environments, reducing barriers to adoption and enabling clinicians to access documentation, evidence-based clinical support, and diagnostic insights without leaving the chart.

Organizations can deploy Keikku as a software-only platform or with hardware-enabled capabilities that support ambient clinical audio capture and diagnostic auscultation.

About Lapsi Health

Lapsi Health is a Dutch-American clinical AI company building multi-modal intelligence solutions for modern healthcare. Its flagship platform, Keikku, combines AI-powered clinical documentation, contextual clinical reference, diagnostic support, and purpose-built clinical hardware to help healthcare organizations transform patient interactions into connected clinical workflows. Lapsi Health’s mission is to transform how clinicians capture, structure, and act on patient data, moving from isolated signals to integrated clinical intelligence.

bidadoo Launches “SnapShot by bidadoo” Mobile Selling Solution, Empowering Equipment Owners to List Assets in Minutes

Published

on

By

SEATTLE, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — bidadoo, the largest and most trusted used equipment and truck auction provider on the world’s largest auction marketplace – eBay, today announced the launch of SnapShot by bidadoo. This innovative, mobile-first selling solution acts as an efficient “eBay on-ramp,” allowing fleet managers and equipment owners to instantly list machinery for sale directly from their smartphone, maximizing net returns while bypassing traditional transport, 3rd-party inspection fees and scheduling.

Backed by bidadoo’s 23 years of online auction expertise, SnapShot by bidadoo addresses a massive pain point for heavy equipment sellers: the high cost, coordination headache, and down-time associated with transporting heavy assets to physical auction yards. With SnapShot by bidadoo, equipment stays on-site and can list on eBay — the world’s largest auction platform — almost instantly.

“From the start, bidadoo has been a pioneer in the online remarketing space, from our strategic partnership with eBay to the efficiency of our ‘Sell-In-Place’ model,” said Loren Carlson, VP of Sales and Business Development. “SnapShot by bidadoo is the next step in this evolution, acting as an intuitive, high-speed onramp that supercharges our unique platform while paving the way for more exciting selling solutions to come.”

“The Snapshot by bidadoo app is intuitive and easy to navigate, providing detailed information that supports efficient decision making,” said Terry Sluder, District Service Manager at Sunbelt Rentals. “Additionally, the support team is top-notch, responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to help when needed.”

How It Works: The Five-Step SnapShot Journey

Capture in Minutes: Sellers download the SnapShot by bidadoo mobile app or open a secure inspection link to capture asset details, photos, and video right from the field. No specialized expertise is required.

Optimized by Experts: Once submitted, bidadoo’s professional production team reviews the asset details, guarantees data quality, and builds a professional, market-ready listing.

Launch & List: Listings go live on bidadoo and eBay’s massive online marketplace. The bidadoo team takes over full management of buyer inquiries, bids, offers, payments, and logistic support.

Global Marketing Reach: Using AI-powered, multi-channel marketing campaigns, assets are pushed to millions of global end-user buyers.

Secure Sale & Pay-out: Following a successful transaction, bidadoo collects the payment, coordinates the logistics and buyer pickup, and quickly distributes secure returns to the seller.

Disrupting the Traditional Auction Model

By keeping equipment on-site (Sell-In-Place) and automating the intake process via mobile technology, SnapShot by bidadoo provides equipment owners with higher net returns and total control over their sales schedule. Furthermore, because bidadoo eliminates the standard 10–15% buyer’s premium found at traditional auctions, buyers can put their full purchasing power directly toward their bids, driving higher final sales values for bidadoo sellers.

SnapShot by bidadoo integrates seamlessly with bidadoo’s versatile sales models, including their Weekly No-Reserve Auctions, 24/7 Buy It Now Marketplace, and the soon to be announced Fleet Exchange (FleetX) platform.

Equipment owners and fleet managers interested in trying the platform or scheduling a team training session can visit www.bidadoo.com/snapshot for more information or contact bidadoo at SnapShotGo@bidadoo.com to get started!
