Certification, audited by TÜV SÜD, places the Coimbatore-headquartered firm’s AI practice in an elite group of organisations worldwide to meet the standard

COIMBATORE, India, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quadrasystems.net India Private Limited today announced that its AI practice has achieved ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, following a successful audit by TÜV SÜD. A small number of organisations worldwide hold this certification; Quadrasystems.net is among the first in India.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 establishes auditable requirements for how organisations govern AI across its full lifecycle — risk management, accountability structures, data practices, deployment controls, and incident response. Certification requires an independent external audit; organisations cannot self-attest.

The certification arrives as enterprises face mounting pressure to demonstrate AI governance. Boards increasingly require assurance before AI systems touch revenue, customer data, or regulated operations. Procurement and vendor-risk teams in banking, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors have begun assessing AI governance as part of vendor due diligence. AI regulation across major markets, including the European Union’s AI Act, is converging on management-system requirements that ISO/IEC 42001 directly addresses.

For Quadra’s clients, the certification provides an independently verified answer to those demands. Organisations deploying AI systems built and governed by a certified practice inherit a documented, externally audited governance framework, reducing their own compliance and vendor-risk burden.

“Quadra’s proactive engagement in scoping, rapid prototyping, and iterative alignment significantly accelerated validation and progress across key use cases. Beyond just delivering the solution, the team also played a pivotal role in helping us define DevOps practices for Copilot and supported our internal teams in understanding and resolving copilot related queries.

Additionally, Quadra’s ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification reflects the level of rigor, discipline, and best practices that were clearly evident throughout the engagement.”
– Visharg Shah, Senior Specialist – Data Science, Asian Paints Limited

The certification scope covers Quadra’s AI practice, which designs and deploys production-grade AI systems for clients across banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Prashanth Subramanian, Co-Founder and Director, Quadrasystems.net India Private Limited, said, “For our clients deploying AI in regulated industries, ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification is a due-diligence answer. When a board or a regulator asks how their AI vendor is governed, our clients now hold an independently audited response.”

Quadrasystems.net already holds ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 27001 (information security management) certifications. ISO/IEC 42001:2023 extends the organisation’s independently audited governance framework to its AI practice. All three certifications are issued by TÜV SÜD.

CANGZHOU, China, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from Xinhuanet: 

Cangzhou, a coastal city in Hebei Province, China, is turning the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy into concrete gains in industry, transport and public services, local authorities said.

Located in southeastern Hebei along the Bohai Sea and the Grand Canal, Cangzhou is known for martial arts, acrobatics, canal culture and the thousand-year-old Iron Lion that gave it the nickname “Lion City.” The city is now positioning itself as a node in regional integration, linking resources from Beijing and Tianjin with Hebei’s coastal logistics and manufacturing base.

Since 2023, Cangzhou has signed agreements on 170 projects involving Beijing and Tianjin partners, with total planned investment of 68.4 billion yuan, according to a local government briefing. The city has also attracted 50 second- and third-tier subsidiaries of centrally administered state-owned enterprises, making it a destination for industrial resources from the two municipalities.

One of the clearest examples is biomedicine. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Cangzhou Biomedicine Industrial Park has attracted 70 companies. Three pharmaceutical formulation projects, including one involving Beijing Yimin, have been completed, marking a breakthrough in Cangzhou’s efforts to receive pharmaceutical production capacity from Beijing.

The industrial shift is also reshaping the city’s innovation network. Cangzhou has signed cooperation agreements with universities and research institutes in Beijing and Tianjin, including Tsinghua University, and has supported platforms such as the Hebei branch of the National Beidou Navigation Location Service Data Center and the Yanzhao Green Chemical Laboratory. Since 2023, the city has recorded more than 20 billion yuan in technology-contract transactions from Beijing and Tianjin, local authorities said.

Those industrial links are being reinforced by transport and logistics. Cangzhou has opened direct high-speed rail service with Shijiazhuang, while several railway and expressway projects are under construction or being advanced as part of broader regional connectivity efforts. The city is also using Huanghua Port to support logistics links with Xiong’an New Area.

Cangzhou is promoting a cross-regional customs and logistics model under which goods would be declared, inspected and released in Xiong’an before being exported by sea through Huanghua Port. Officials describe the effort as part of Cangzhou’s work to support Xiong’an’s access to maritime logistics.

Regional integration is also reaching public services. Cangzhou has established 27 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei medical alliances, while 57 local medical institutions have joined arrangements for mutual recognition of medical test results. It has also expanded cross-regional medical settlement and labor-service cooperation. In elderly care, the city said it has attracted 24,700 elderly residents from Beijing, Tianjin and nearby provinces.

Cangzhou also reported gains in environmental protection and tourism. According to local authorities, the city’s air quality composite index in 2025 fell by 15.14 percent from 2023, while average PM2.5 concentration dropped by 11.47 percent and the number of good-air days increased by 51. Centralized drinking-water sources met Grade III or better standards, and eight rivers flowing into the sea met water-quality targets.

Tourism has benefited from closer regional links and Cangzhou’s cultural resources. Drawing on the Grand Canal, martial arts, acrobatics, intangible cultural heritage and its “Lion City” identity, the city received about 57.3 million domestic tourist visits in 2025, generating 60.94 billion yuan in tourism spending, according to the local government briefing.

In 2026, Cangzhou plans to sign at least 50 new projects involving Beijing and Tianjin partners, with more than 10 billion yuan in planned investment. It will focus on biomedicine, hydrogen energy, apparel, the low-altitude economy, transport connectivity and cooperation with Xiong’an, aiming to deepen its role as an industrial, logistics and public-service link in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
