Collaboration combines market insights, practical workshops and community outreach to help investors build financial knowledge and use digital tools thoughtfully

SINGAPORE, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Longbridge Securities Singapore (“Longbridge”) and the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) (“SIAS”) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance investor education and enhance financial literacy in an increasingly AI-enabled investing environment.

The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration across investor education, community engagement and practical learning. It brings together SIAS’s longstanding commitment to investor education and advocacy with Longbridge’s technology and platform capabilities, with a shared aim of helping retail investors make better-informed decisions.

As AI changes how investors access information and research markets, both organisations believe that financial knowledge and the ability to assess information critically are increasingly important. The collaboration seeks to help investors understand market developments, build practical research skills and develop greater confidence in using digital tools, while recognising their limitations.

“AI is opening up new possibilities for investors to explore information, understand markets and ask better questions. Financial education is essential to helping people make meaningful use of those possibilities. Through our collaboration with SIAS, we want to bring technology and learning closer together, giving investors opportunities to build their knowledge and practise using these tools. This MoU reflects our commitment to supporting a more informed and confident investing community in Singapore,” said Gavin Chia, Singapore and Regional CEO, Southeast Asia, Longbridge Securities.

The collaboration will bring learning into a range of settings, from market outlook sessions and hands-on workshops at Longbridge Café to community and heartland programmes. These activities aim to connect financial concepts with practical experience, making investor education relevant to people with different levels of market knowledge and digital confidence.

“Investor education must evolve as the tools available to investors change. Alongside financial fundamentals, investors need to know how to question information, assess its relevance and understand the limitations of AI-generated responses. Our collaboration with Longbridge aims to make this learning accessible and practical, reaching people with different levels of investing experience and digital confidence. We look forward to helping more investors develop the knowledge and judgment to make informed decisions,” said Ang Hao Yao, Vice President, SIAS.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Music IP Holdings, Inc. (MIH) today launched a “Click-Through License Portal” that lets AI technology companies license its patented technologies online in minutes. MIH is a leading AI innovation licensing and technology development company setting the standard for authorized AI generation involving existing and new content.

The first-of-its-kind, custom-designed “Click-Through License Portal” allows MIH to quickly and efficiently provide cost-effective patent portfolio licenses to select companies so they can obtain the “freedom to operate” within and across AI markets. The new portal is designed for both technology and content companies that need to license the MIH AI derivatives workflow, Super Fan, Stems and other related patents in the portfolio: https://app.musiciprights.com/company-info

Today’s portal, offered to smaller companies through the MIH Strategic Innovation Partner (SIP) program, is separate from the licensing agreements with large content and technology companies that MIH began announcing in August.

“A great deal of work has gone into this process by our technology, legal and licensing teams. It represents a critical step in MIH’s evolution in 2026. We are laser-focused on protecting content owners and accelerating licenses for AI companies, all while enabling standards and value in the marketplace,” said Daniel Drolet, CEO of MIH.

MIH owns a patent portfolio built for the age of generative AI. The portfolio includes more than 28 patent families and more than 90 issued, allowed and pending assets that together claim the workflow by which AI generation services turn prompts of all types into finished outputs. That workflow runs from intake and interpretation of the request, through checks against rights holders’ content rules, generation, and post-generation review and marking, to controlled delivery under authorization and payment.

“Copyright asks whether something was copied; the MIH patents ask how it was made,” Drolet said. “The MIH portfolio covers those answers across all three major claim categories – methods, systems and software – so rights attach whether or not an output copies anything, and whether or not the output itself can be copyrighted.”

The MIH protections are directed to content in general rather than a single medium, and are being commercialized across music, voice, motion pictures, video, imagery, animation, publishing, and character and franchise IP, as well as name, image and likeness (NIL).
