As geopolitical tensions reshape global trade, supply chains and investment flows, Thailand’s long-standing reputation as a trusted and neutral regional partner could become one of its strongest competitive advantages, according to Distinguished Professor Andrew K. Rose, Dean of NUS Business School.

Speaking to the media during a visit to Bangkok, Professor Rose said economies with deep international trust and stable regional relationships are increasingly well positioned as businesses rethink where they invest, manufacture and expand.

“In a world where global alignments are shifting and supply chains are being redrawn, trust becomes a strategic asset,” said Professor Rose. “Thailand has spent decades building strong relationships across Asia and beyond. That foundation becomes more valuable in periods of uncertainty.”

A pivotal moment for Thailand
Thailand’s current environment is demanding, and the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook (April 2026) projects growth of 1.5 per cent in 2026.

Professor Rose noted that rising energy costs, softer long-haul tourism demand and rapid AI adoption are creating near-term pressure across key sectors of the Thai economy. However, he said periods of disruption often create the conditions for long-term competitive repositioning.

“The economies that emerge stronger are usually the ones that adapt earliest,” as Professor Rose. “Leadership capability, agility and the ability to navigate change will determine who captures the next decade of growth.”

The comments come as businesses across Southeast Asia accelerate investment in AI, digital transformation and workforce reskilling amid growing global economic fragmentation.

A 2026 Milieu Insight study of 3,000 workers across six Southeast Asian markets including Thailand found that 53 per cent ranked over-dependence on AI as their top concern, ahead of privacy risks and job displacement. This suggests that organisations in Thailand and across the region must do more to guide, not just deploy, new technology.

Building regional leadership capability
Addressing these challenges requires more than a policy response alone. Professor Rose emphasised that both multinationals and SMEs must build their adaptation strategies around talent and leadership development to power Thailand’s growth engine.

Ms Usa Skulkerewathana, Senior Lecturer at NUS Business School, said Thai organisations should consider focusing on strengthening talent development and practical AI readiness rather than treating technology as a standalone solution.

“This is not a wait-and-see moment,” said Ms Skulkerewathana. “Thai businesses that invest early in leadership, digital capability and workforce resilience will be better positioned to compete regionally and internationally.”

Singapore’s role as Asia’s financial and educational hub offers Thai professionals and organisations a natural gateway to build regional leadership capability. Thai professionals and executives have, for decades, benefitted from NUS Business School’s MBA, MSc and executive education programmes, including the Stanford–NUS Executive Programme and other senior leadership initiatives developed with global academic and industry partners. Thai enrolment has remained steady over the past five years as professionals seek regional exposure and globally benchmarked leadership training.

Thailand’s “trust capital” is intact, and its position within a reorganising ASEAN is reinforced by the changes underway. The Thai institutions and business leaders that treat “trust capital” as a competitive asset, and build the leadership depth to deploy it, will define the country’s next chapter of growth.

In 2026, this comes to life through an expanded programme, global talent and immersive formats that bring people together in new ways.“

Every Body Club is Prudential’s partner ecosystem for health, community and wellness. This year at Glow Festival, Prudential has an experiential space that invites visitors to pick up small steps to improve their wellbeing such as healthy bites and sports accessories. Prudential customers also enjoy exclusive access to physiotherapy and chiropractic consultations.

Toni Fung, Chief Customer and Marketing Officer, Prudential Singapore, said, “We are pleased to be back as the Presenting Sponsor of Glow Festival for the third consecutive year. While health and protection remain a key part of what we do, wellbeing is becoming increasingly important and deeply personal as people live longer lives. Our partner ecosystem presented through Every Body Club offers something for everyone, whether they are starting their wellness journey, staying active and connected as they age, or pursuing fitness goals.”

“Sentosa’s golden beaches and abundant greenery create the perfect environment for immersive wellness and restoration. This strategic partnership brings Glow Festival to life across our island, from the dedicated Festival Grounds at Palawan Green to extended programming with our island hospitality partners. The combination of beachfront locations, coastal breezes, and tranquil spaces helps guests disconnect from daily pressures and reconnect with their wellbeing in ways that feel authentic and restorative.

Live Music Takes Over After Dark
As the sun sets, Glow shifts into a different rhythm, with live music anchoring the evening programme.

Qualitest, the leading provider of AI-first quality engineering and assurance, today announces its rebrand to QualityAI. The new brand reflects the company’s evolution from software testing specialist to AI-first quality engineering partner, helping enterprises design quality into complex systems from the outset.
 

Qualitest Becomes QualityAI: The Trusted Assurance and Engineering Partner Across Every Stage of Enterprise AI
 

Across every industry, companies are racing to adopt AI, and the pressure to demonstrate progress is rising. According to Deloitte’s 2026 “State of AI in the Enterprise” report, the proportion of organizations expecting at least 40% of AI experiments to reach production is expected to more than double within six months. As AI moves from ambition to implementation, leaders need to prove that transformation is real, reliable, and effective. In a market crowded with AI claims, assurance is becoming the difference between AI momentum and AI washing.
 

“Every business wants to show it is moving fast on AI, but speed alone is not enough,” said Andrew Duncan, CEO of QualityAI. “Leaders need evidence that AI is working safely, reliably, and effectively in the real world. QualityAI exists to give them that certainty, helping organizations move beyond AI claims and go live with confidence.”
 

In regulated and high-trust industries, including financial services, health and life sciences, energy, utilities, and the public sector, the stakes are even higher. AI failure can create operational disruption, reputational damage, and loss of trust. As AI accelerates software development and decision-making, organizations need independent quality oversight that proves systems are ready for real-world use. That proof is becoming both a compliance imperative and a competitive differentiator.
 

Built on almost 30 years of software testing expertise, QualityAI operates across the entire quality assurance lifecycle, from early transformation planning through to go-live and post-launch optimization.
 

“Our heritage is in assurance, but our role today is much broader,” Duncan said. “We work with organizations from the earliest stages of transformation, helping them define, design, engineer, test, and operate complex systems with greater certainty. That means supporting clients before launch, at go-live, and long after deployment.”
 

QualityAI works with some of the world’s largest technology companies developing AI models and helps enterprises embed AI into business-critical systems with greater assurance. Since 2019, it has implemented proprietary AI solutions that can accelerate software testing by up to six times, reducing the time required to validate and integrate technology across complex enterprise environments.
 

Duncan concluded, “The path to AI adoption can seem like uncharted territory, but it is familiar ground for QualityAI. We have spent almost 30 years helping enterprises trust the technology they depend on. As we look ahead, our role is clear: to help organizations design quality into the AI-powered systems that will define their future.”

The Deloitte State of AI in the Enterprise report is available here: www.deloitte.com/uk/en/issues/generative-ai/state-of-ai-in-enterprise.html
 

About QualityAI

QualityAI is an AI-first quality engineering company helping enterprises deploy and scale complex systems with greater confidence. Operating across data, models, platforms, infrastructure, and operational environments, the company provides assurance and engineering expertise that helps organizations ensure systems perform reliably in real-world conditions.
 

Formerly Qualitest, QualityAI supports global enterprises across regulated and technology-driven industries, combining deep engineering heritage with AI-enabled delivery, operational assurance, and lifecycle expertise to help clients achieve certainty at go-live.

Letter of Intent

Signify Har Gaon Roshan CSR initiative updates shared during the event:

• Terai region impact: Successfully impacted over 400 forest fringe villages, since 2019

• Wider Footprint: Installed over 9000 LED streetlights across 400 villages in Uttar Pradesh (in and around Pilibhit, Dudhwa, Amangarh Tiger Reserves, Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary, Nagina, Chitrakoot, and Bahraich)

• Future Expansion: Signify presented a Letter of Intent (LoI) for the installation of 1500 additional LED streetlights across 67 villages with high rate of human-wildlife conflict in the Katarniaghat landscape.

• Coffee Table book launch: focused on the impact of the recent project in Dudhwa National Park through real stories, illustrating how access to light has helped create safer public spaces and enhance community resilience.  

Addressing the gathering, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge), Dr. Arun Kumar Saxena, highlighted the growing challenge of human–wildlife conflict in forest landscapes and emphasized the need for collaborative efforts involving government departments, experts, civil society organizations, CSR initiatives and local communities to develop practical and sustainable solutions. He commended Signify for its contribution to community safety and rural development through Signify Har Gaon Roshan CSR initiative and congratulated the organization for expanding its support to forest fringe communities across Uttar Pradesh.

Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai, one of the city’s most iconic shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations, announces a strategic branding initiative with Mumbai Metro, under which Jagruti Nagar Metro Station is branded as “Phoenix Jagruti Nagar.”
 

Phoenix Jagruti Nagar

Located on the Versova – Ghatkopar corridor, one of Mumbai’s busiest east-west transit routes, Jagruti Metro Station offers access to a high-density commuter base. With seamless interchanges at Andheri and Ghatkopar connecting to suburban rail networks – and further integration with upcoming metro corridors – the line serves as a critical mobility backbone for the city.

Mumbai Metro Line 1 witnesses a daily footfall of over 1 million commuters, spanning young professionals and students. At Jagruti Nagar Metro Station, average daily footfall stands at approximately 25,000 commuters, translating to nearly 7.5 lakh monthly. With an average travel time of approximately 20 minutes across the line, the environment offers brands sustained visibility and uninterrupted engagement.

Exclusive station branding, in this context, enables brands to seamlessly integrate brand messaging along passenger journey asides to create a landmark presence – driving both recall and meaningful interaction across multiple commuter touchpoints. It delivers a unique reach over 1.4 lakh commuters and approximately 1.7 million impressions. Long term presence also helps build trust among regular metro commuters as well as road level commuters. Times OOH, having exclusive marketing rights for Mumbai Metro Line 1, has worked closely with Phoenix Marketcity to execute this large-scale branding initiative.

This initiative taps into the station’s daily surge of commuters, transforming routine travel into repeated moments of brand recall. By placing Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai at a key urban access point, the association converts everyday movement into heightened visibility, stronger proximity and increased frequency of visits. With this collaborative partnership for the metro station, Phoenix has further become a part of the commuter journey integrated seamlessly across signage, maps, announcements and navigation, turning a transit hub into a powerful reminder of the mall.

Commenting on the initiative, Vikas Shetty, Senior Vice President Leasing & Retail Director, The Phoenix Mills Ltd., said, “With the Phoenix Jagruti Nagar metro station branding, we’re strengthening Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai’s presence within the city’s daily movement patterns. By enhancing visibility at a key transit point, we are reinforcing the mall’s position as a well-connected destination within commuters’ everyday routines. Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai is already part of the city’s lifestyle fabric, and this initiative allows us to engage with consumers at another meaningful touchpoint, further deepening that connection.”

Through the “Phoenix Jagruti Nagar” station branding, Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai aligns with the city’s evolving urban movement patterns, reinforcing its role as a conveniently accessible lifestyle destination that fits naturally into Mumbai’s everyday commute. 

Adding to the partnership, Rohit Chopra, COO, Times OOH, said, “Phoenix is among the first brands from the retail shopping category to leverage a differentiated format like Exclusive Station Branding on Mumbai Metro. By transforming Jagruti Metro Station into an immersive brand environment, Phoenix Marketcity is extending its presence beyond physical retail spaces to build stronger recall and deeper relatability among daily commuters.

What makes this initiative compelling is the brand’s strategic use of multiple formats across the station—creating a cohesive, high-impact visual experience. The vibrant design language not only enhances commuter engagement but also integrates seamlessly into their daily journeys. We believe this initiative will significantly strengthen Phoenix’s connection with Mumbai’s urban audience.”

Percept Live and  Hyp-Ent. are set to bring one of the most anticipated international music experiences of the year to India as Grammy-nominated global R&B icon Trey Songz along with a host of other Hip Hop and R&B artists take over The Dome, Mumbai on 19 July, 2026 for an exclusive, ICONiQ White Nights performance.

Percept Live and Hyp Ent. bring R&B Superstar Trey Songz for ICONiQ White Nights at Dome Mumbai

More than just a concert, the evening promises to unfold as an immersive ‘ICONiQ White Nights Experience’ – a bold celebration of music, fashion, nightlife, and culture, where guests are invited to embrace the signature all-white dress code and step into a world that reflects the spirit of ICONiQ – confident, vibrant, contemporary, and unapologetically iconic. The result will be a visually spectacular, high-energy experience unlike anything else on Mumbai’s entertainment calendar.

With its premium and intimate setting, The Dome offers fans a rare opportunity to experience Trey Songz up close in a venue designed for connection, energy, and unforgettable live moments. Unlike large-format stadium shows, the contained environment creates an electric atmosphere where every performance feels personal, every beat hits harder, and every fan is closer to the action.

The Trey Songz Live Concert offers a rare R&B experience for India. While India has long embraced global pop, EDM, hip-hop, and electronic music, international R&B performances of this scale remain remarkably rare. Trey Songz’s arrival marks a significant moment for India’s growing urban music audience and reflects the increasing demand for diverse global genres and premium live entertainment experiences. For fans of contemporary R&B, hip-hop, and global pop culture, this concert represents a unique opportunity to witness one of the genre’s most influential voices perform live in India.

Few artists have shaped contemporary R&B quite like Trey Songz. Over the course of an acclaimed career spanning nearly two decades, the singer-songwriter has amassed billions of streams and delivered chart-topping hits including “Say Aah,” “Bottoms Up,” “Can’t Help But Wait,” “Heart Attack,” “Na Na,” and “Slow Motion.” Known for his smooth vocals, magnetic stage presence, and ability to seamlessly blend R&B, hip-hop, and mainstream pop influences, Trey Songz has built a global fanbase and remains one of the most recognizable figures in modern urban music. His live performances are celebrated for their energy, audience interaction and hit-filled setlists that leave fans wanting more.

Mr. Amar Sinha, Managing Director, ABD, said, “Global music experiences have evolved beyond entertainment to become defining cultural moments for a new generation of consumers. As New India becomes increasingly connected to global culture, audiences are seeking experiences that bring together music, fashion, lifestyle, and self-expression. ICONiQ White has been built for this evolving consumer, with a positioning rooted in contemporary culture, individuality, and aspiration. Bringing a global icon like Trey Songz to India through the ICONiQ White Nights experience is a natural extension of that vision. For us, this association goes beyond sponsorship; it is an opportunity to place the brand at the centre of cultural moments that are immersive, memorable, and relevant to our consumers.”

Nikhil Uniyal, Business Head, Percept Live said, “Today’s audiences are looking for more than just a concert. They want immersive, shareable experiences that create lasting memories. Trey Songz Live in Mumbai has been designed with exactly that vision in mind. From the premium intimacy of The Dome to the visually striking White Night theme, every element has been curated to deliver a truly elevated experience. As India’s appetite for global music and culture continues to grow, we’re proud to bring fans a unique event that combines world-class talent with the energy, excitement and sophistication of modern live entertainment.”

Said Sonal Shah, Head – Brand Partnership and Sponsorship Sales, Percept Live, “This event sits at the intersection of music, culture, fashion, and lifestyle, making it a powerful platform for brands looking to engage India’s next-generation urban consumers. The exclusivity of a one-night-only Trey Songz performance, combined with our immersive White Night experience, presents a unique environment for impactful brand storytelling and audience engagement.”

Kapiva, one of India’s leading science-backed Ayurveda brands, has announced its entry into the clinical care segment with the launch of Kapiva Ayurveda Clinics, expanding its existing product-led portfolio to include structured, continuity-driven treatment models. The development comes as the company completes a decade in the category. The clinics address four major chronic concerns: Diabetes, Heart Health, Pain and Women’s Health.
 

Kapiva Ayurveda Clinic Doctors

India’s chronic disease burden is no longer confined to older populations. Chronic health conditions are increasingly affecting Indians in their twenties and thirties, a generation that is not only seeking holistic alternatives but actively looking for care systems that address the root cause of their conditions, not just the symptoms. According to a 2024 survey by the Government of India, nearly half of India’s population has used Ayush systems for prevention or treatment of ailments, a reflection of how deeply the system is woven into everyday health decisions. The clinics are built for someone who has started a treatment plan and not been able to stay the course, and look to address a longstanding gap in the system: inconsistent outcomes driven by the absence of structured support after the first consultation.
 

At the centre of Kapiva’s clinical model is a 45 to 60 minute in-depth Ayurvedic consultation focused on identifying root causes rather than surface symptoms. By comparison, the average doctor consultation in India lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, without a clear understanding of what is driving their condition. Each patient then receives a personalised Ayurvedic treatment plan designed to fit into a real daily routine, explained in plain language, and built to be followed rather than just prescribed. The third pillar is the effortless post-care guidance: structured follow-ups at Day 7, 14, and 21, with in-built ongoing support, ensuring patients are seen through to completion, all within a single integrated patient journey that combines doctor-led diagnosis, personalised nutrition guidance, lifestyle interventions, AI-enabled diagnostics, and where appropriate, Panchkarma and Abhyangam therapies.
 

Commenting on the launch, Ameve Sharma, Founder and CEO of Kapiva said, “To offer truly comprehensive Ayurvedic care, we realised that patients require a much deeper, highly personalised approach that goes beyond just a product. Delivering that level of care requires a dedicated physical setup. In many ways, this brings Kapiva full circle. This launch was born directly from conversations with our consumers who were seeking structured support. As a customer-first brand, Kapiva Ayurveda Clinics are our way of ensuring they receive the end-to-end care they deserve.”
 

Over the last ten years, Kapiva has built a stronghold in chronic wellness products that address health problems from the root cause. The clinic model extends that same philosophy into structured clinical care for chronic disease management, where consultation, product use, and follow-up are part of one continuous Ayurvedic treatment journey.
 

Kapiva Ayurveda Clinics currently operate in three locations in Bengaluru: Whitefield, HSR Layout and Sarjapur Road, with each clinic offering consultations for diabetes, heart health, chronic pain and women’s health. The company plans to expand across additional Bengaluru locations before evaluating multi-city growth. The launch follows the brand’s announcement of the Kapiva Innovation Fund (KIF), a Rs. 50 crore corpus dedicated to advancing research and innovation in Ayurveda, and marks the company’s broader ambition to build a holistic Ayurveda healthcare brand beyond products. 

About Kapiva
Kapiva is a homegrown science-backed Ayurveda brand on a mission to make evidence-based Ayurveda simple, modern, and accessible for everyday wellness. Backed by a dedicated R&D vertical of scientists and researchers, Kapiva develops authentic formulations using science-backed Ayurveda, standardised herbs, and high-quality ingredients.

Seafood Expo Asia/Seafood Processing Asia, organized by Diversified, announces its 2026 conference program ahead of the fourteenth edition of the event, taking place 2–4 September at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore. Free to attend to all registered visitors, this year’s program brings leading voices from the industry and across technology and policy to address the defining challenges and opportunities shaping seafood’s future across Asia and beyond.

Seafood Expo Asia/Seafood Processing Asia Conference Program

Consumer Trust & Market Dynamics
A session titled Seafood in the Spotlight: Trust. Taste. Tomorrow’s Consumer will present findings from a GlobeScan bi-annual survey commissioned by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), tracking consumer attitudes across 20+ global markets. Fresh from its debut at Seafood Expo Global in April, the research lands in Singapore at a critical moment. Attendees will explore how rising sustainability expectations, cost-of-living pressures and shifting retail dynamics are reshaping purchasing decisions and what it takes to build durable consumer trust.
 

The most pressing issues facing the Asian shrimp trade will be discussed in a session around rebalancing export-dependent supply as demand and price signals shift across major markets. Amid reduced China import pull, elevated US tariffs and uneven farm output trends, these forces are already reshaping trade flows, pricing power and production planning decisions and will determine which Asian producers can protect margins and maintain market access in 2026–2027.
 

Innovation & Technology
A panel of industry insiders will discuss the rapid rise of recirculating aquaculture systems across the region in RAS Fish Farming: Why is Asia Leading the Way. The panel will deliver an honest assessment of real-world challenges alongside compelling results already being achieved in markets across Asia, and what this leadership position means for the future of sustainable fish production worldwide.

A session around Asia’s growing demand for seafood processing will discuss how advanced automation, productivity gains and a sharper focus on consumer trends are significantly changing the industry across Asia. Challenging market conditions are driving the industry to rethink the future of the processing environment, with innovative tools and precise systems now enabling processors to optimize resource utilization and promote sustainability to drive maximum profit. The session features Marcel Franz, Managing Director of BAADER Asia and Nils Rabe, Global Sales Director Fish at BAADER.

Eric Enno Tamm, CEO of ThisFish Inc. will map the practical and transformative applications of AI across seafood supply chains in The Definitive Guide to AI & the Tuna Value Chain. From machine learning and computer vision to generative AI and AI agents, Tamm will outline how these technologies are already reshaping operations and offer a forward-looking vision of what an AI-optimized tuna value chain could look like from boat to plate.
 

Food Integrity & Digital Resilience
FAO GLOBEFISH convenes a timely session on Aquatic Food Fraud: Mislabeling, Market Demand and Consumer Trust. Drawing on FAO’s recent technical paper on food fraud in the fisheries and aquaculture sector, the session will examine a problem of significant scale: up to 20% of fisheries and aquaculture products may be mislabeled globally, with fraud particularly prevalent in processed products, restaurants and catering. The session will examine how price incentives, supply chain complexity and governance gaps interact to enable fraud, and what governments, industry, retailers and standard-setting bodies are doing to address it.
 

The Invisible Net: Securing the Digital Integrity and Resilience of the Asian Seafood Supply Chain is a session led by the President of the Cyber Security Alliance for the Seafood Industry (CSAFI) that will discuss the emerging risk for the sector. As seafood supply chains become increasingly powered by IoT-enabled processing plants, AI-driven logistics and blockchain-backed traceability, they also become vulnerable to cyberattack. With incidents on global logistics networks rising over 900% in five years, a single breach can trigger immediate product spoilage, financial loss and reputational damage.
 

The session will present a 2026 roadmap for protecting operational technology, defending traceability data against digital fraud and making the business case for cybersecurity as a core ESG and trade compliance imperative.

The collaboration is a significant step towards strengthening ISP schools-university partnership and would strengthen Future Pathways — ISP’s bespoke programme, and one of its Five Learning Pillars, that helps students build life skills and guides them, alongside their families, to make well-informed decisions about life beyond school through meaningful connections with the world of higher education and work.
 
By bringing together ISP’s global expertise in school education with JGU’s strengths in higher education, research, and international engagement, the partnership creates a powerful bridge between school, university, and career — giving students a headstart on the journey from classroom to campus to career.

Through this collaboration, students across ISP India’s network of schools will gain direct access to:

• Curated higher education and career guidance

• Research-led, interdisciplinary learning experiences

• Immersive campus engagements at JGU

 These experiences go beyond awareness — helping students connect aspiration with opportunity, and make informed, confident decisions about their future.

Speaking about the collaboration, Ms. Rakhi Karnik, Head of Student Futures, ISP India, said, “At ISP, our purpose is to grow the world’s most curious and confident minds. Through our Learning.
