By putting policymakers, technology companies and enterprise leaders in the same conversation, we want to give the industry a clearer view of what is changing across the region, and what those changes mean for their organisations.”

Launch of Data Centre World Tokyo 2027

Data Centre World Tokyo 2027 will be officially unveiled at Tech Night 2026, the event’s flagship networking event that will take place on the opening day (Refer to Annex A).

At a pivotal time for the technology landscape, organisations across Asia are strengthening their digital infrastructure and cross-border partnerships to keep pace with rapidly emerging technologies.

Speakers from Meta, Google, Micron, NVIDIA and more will be present.

“Standardisation and resilience are becoming increasingly important priorities for organisations looking to scale,” said Steve Helvie, Chief Emerging Ecosystem Officer, Open Compute Project Foundation. “As demand for resilient infrastructure accelerates, open standards are playing a critical role in helping hyperscalers, cloud providers, semiconductor companies, hardware manufacturers and enterprises build future-ready foundations.

Tiger Brokers Singapore Named Best Personal Investment Platform at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tiger Brokers Singapore has been named Best Personal Investment Platform at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026, recognising a breakthrough year for the platform in Singapore and its growing appeal among self-directed investors. The award follows Tiger Brokers’ recent recognition as one of CNBC and Statista’s World’s Top Fintech Companies of 2026, capping a run of industry accolades for the platform. This milestone comes on the back of a record year for the business.

In 2025, net profit rose 96% year-on-year and trading orders increased 52%, both reaching all-time highs. Most recently, Tiger Brokers saw its total trading volume further reaching a record high in Q2’26, up 92% YoY with active trading accounts growing for the tenth consecutive year in Singapore, underscoring the platform’s ability to attract new clients while sustaining engagement across an expanding base.

At a time when investor attention is increasingly difficult to earn, Tiger Brokers distinguished itself by delivering a strong return on that attention through tools, education and insights.

Central to that success is Tiger Brokers’ focus on making investing easier and more accessible. Through the Tiger Trade app, clients can access stocks, ETFs, options, futures, bonds and funds across multiple global markets from a single account, while integrated market data, news, community features and educational resources reduce much of the complexity traditionally associated with investing.

In July 2025, Tiger Brokers widened access further by introducing Central Provident Fund (CPF) and Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) trading capabilities, allowing eligible clients to invest their retirement savings through the platform. The breadth of the offering and its intuitive experience helped Tiger Brokers maintain a 98% customer retention rate in 2025.

Investment in decision-support tools reinforced that momentum. Following the February 2025 upgrade of TigerAI with the DeepSeek-R1 model, use of the platform’s AI investment assistant rose sharply — monthly user interactions increased 83% and monthly active users grew 54% over the following three months. Alongside TigerAI, financial literacy platform Tiger Academy, community discussions, webinars and market insights give users multiple ways to build knowledge, test strategies and navigate markets with greater confidence.

Tiger Brokers has also extended its offering beyond investing. Tiger Vault, a cash management solution for idle cash, and the Tiger BOSS Debit Card, which rewards spending with fractional shares, enable clients to keep more of their cash within the Tiger ecosystem while retaining the flexibility to invest or spend as needed. Annual spending volume on the card increased nearly 40% year-on-year in 2025, with total cardholders growing 22% in the latest Q2’26, signifying how this integrated approach is resonating with customers.

Concurrently, Tiger Brokers continues to strengthen its brand presence by integrating its customer touchpoints into local lifestyle scenes to deepen engagement with the younger audiences.

“This recognition reflects the trust our clients place in us and the work of the team behind the platform. Our focus has always been on giving self-directed investors the tools, education and access they need to invest with confidence — and we’re honoured that Euromoney has recognised that commitment.” said Ian Leong, CEO, Tiger Brokers Singapore.

The Euromoney Awards for Excellence honour institutions that set the standard in the global financial industry.

M31 Expands Rambus Collaboration, Strengthening Its One-Stop MIPI Subsystem Solution

Published

on

By

HSINCHU, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — M31 Technology (M31), a global silicon intellectual property (IP) provider, today unveiled a technology collaboration with Rambus Inc. for its MIPI CSI (Camera Serial Interface) Controller and MIPI DSI (Display Serial Interface) Controller technologies. This collaboration combines these controller capabilities with M31’s silicon-proven MIPI PHY portfolio with a strong track record of successful deployments, enabling M31 to offer a comprehensive MIPI subsystem solution integrating high-speed MIPI PHYs and MIPI CSI/DSI controllers to address the growing requirements of high-resolution imaging and display applications.

By integrating key functions such as MIPI CSI and DSI controllers, M31 helps customers reduce verification and development risks typically associated with multi-vendor integration, while accelerating product development and time-to-market. This milestone further strengthens M31’s product completeness and competitiveness in the MIPI interface IP market.

With demand continuing to rise across smartphones, automotive ADAS cameras, multi-display cockpit systems, and AI edge devices, MIPI has become the mainstream standard for camera and display interfaces, with its application scope expanding steadily. Industry analysts project that the global interface IP market will reach approximately US$5.4 billion by 2029, accounting for a growing share of the overall semiconductor IP market. High-speed interface IP—such as USB, PCIe, and MIPI—continues to be a key growth driver for the silicon IP licensing market.

“MIPI integrated solutions are increasingly in demand as smartphones, automotive displays, and intelligent cockpits move toward higher resolutions and multi-display designs,” said Scott Chang, CEO of M31. “In the past, customers often needed to procure controllers separately and then rely on M31 for integration. With this collaboration, customers can more confidently entrust the complete MIPI interface design to M31, reducing verification and development risks caused by cross-vendor integration. The synergies of a combined sub-system will further enhance M31’s competitiveness in the MIPI market.”

As M31 expands its portfolio from PHY-only offerings to complete subsystem solutions that include controllers, the average total contract value of related engagements is expected to increase compared with the previous PHY-only licensing model. Overall, this one-stop approach not only increases the value of MIPI-related IP design wins, but also further reinforces M31’s competitive advantage in the global MIPI interface IP market—supporting the company’s strategic focus on automotive, smartphones, and AI edge computing applications.
