HONG KONG, Feb 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Gas Holdings Limited (“China Gas” or the "Group"; stock code: 384), a leading city gas operator in China, has been continuously increasing its investment in artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years and has achieved a series of significant results. Since January 2025, with the launch of the home-grown large AI model by DeepSeek, a new "AI algorithm and computing power revolution" has begun, with the competitive landscape and development logic of AI undergoing profound changes once again worldwide. China Gas actively embraces changes, accelerating its digital transformation and planning to invest over RMB300 million to build the industry's first digital twin platform for gas business. It will cover over 80% of pipeline networks nationwide and drive the AI penetration rate in its core businesses to over 90%.The Group continuously integrates its rich industry experience and application scenarios with the rapidly evolving AI large model technology. It is empowering safety operations, corporate management, and customer services with AI, as well as exploring innovative applications of AI in the gas industry, driving the intelligent transformation across the Group, and building momentum for the intelligent upgrade of the industry.Key Achievements: With Years of AI Empowerment, Full-Scenario Data Now Witnessing TransformationChina Gas has leveraged the continuously-advancing AI technologies to achieve accurate risk prevention and control of safety operations, with both efficiency and reliability significantly improved. The Group's self-developed Safety Alarm System continuously conducts AI Big Data analysis, issuing 250,000 early warning messages per year, and achieving a closed-loop disposal rate of safety hazards of over 98%. The AI approval rate has increased by 90%, fulfilling second-level compliance checks and avoiding potential losses of over RMB10 million.Additionally, China Gas has integrated AI technology with OMP, engineering visualization systems, and the SCADA cloud platform, enabling real-time monitoring of the operations of 100,000 equipment, with a fault prediction accuracy rate of 88%. Annual preventive maintenance has reduced downtime by 15,000 hours, and equipment failure rates have decreased by 30%. The quality pass rate of welding processes has increased to over 98%, with quality-related incident rates dropping by 45% year on year.AI is also a "magic weapon" for improving corporate management efficiency and optimizing costs. For example, China Gas uses AI to assist the legal and risk control departments during AI-driven contract reviews, with the legal compliance system automatically identifying 90% of risks in contracts, improving review efficiency by 30%, and reducing the time of a single contract review by over one hour. China Gas also uses AI to boost human resource management intelligence, consequently reducing the error rate in the PS system (human resource management) for salary calculations to 0.05% and shortening the performance evaluation cycle by 65%. AI is also an efficient instrument in assisting IT operations. Leveraging AI, China Gas automatically classifies 90% of IT operation tickets, reduces fault handling time by 50%, improves operation efficiency by 60%, and increases knowledge base retrieval speed by five times.Concerning customer services, AI enhances the user experience while elevating the satisfaction rate to new heights. Intelligent customer services at the China Gas call center handle 32,000 voice commands per day and can achieve a recognition accuracy rate of 91%. The AI technology has led to a 35% reduction in labor costs and raised the customer satisfaction rate to 93%. Moreover, the AI digital human "Ran Xiaozhi (Mr. Smart-gas)," which integrates voice and animation interaction, has a user satisfaction rate of over 97%, reducing the pressure on human customer service by 40%. Additionally, security image recognition processes 60,000 images daily, has a recognition accuracy rate of 99.7%, and reduces manual review costs by 70%.As for marketing and operations, AI facilitates data-driven decision-making and efficient resource allocation. For example, China Gas's smart trading platform dynamically optimizes natural gas supply and demand matching through AI, and is expected to reduce out-of-contract procurement cost by 50%. Furthermore, volume-cost-profit analysis for key accounts helps recover an average monthly gas loss of over 2 million cubic meters. Also, China Gas's GIS system improves emergency response efficiency for pipeline bursts by 50%, provides 100% automated coverage of pipeline network data quality inspection and 100% accurate restoration of underground pipeline routes.With respect to how its smart trading platform is going intelligent, China Gas is vigorously optimizing natural gas supply and demand matching by analyzing large amounts of data and complex constraints, achieving efficient resource allocation and dynamic adjustment of supply plans to ensure demand is met at different times and locations, while minimizing costs and waste, enhancing overall operational efficiency and reliability. For example, monthly resource optimization, transmission path optimization, and annual procurement plan application scenarios are expected to see the reduction of out-of-contract procurement cost by 50%, saving tens of millions of yuan.Through AI algorithms, the company can also analyze gas price fluctuations and the user behaviors on gas consumption across the country in real-time. With the large AI model serving as the foundation, the smart trading platform can predict future quarterly market demand and generate differentiated pricing schemes. Also, the smart gas system can analyze abnormal gas consumption data from multiple users in a certain location through Big Data- and AI-powered monitoring, issue a warning, and help the company investigate and successfully handle serious safety hazards – such as gas leaks and theft, potentially saving millions of yuan in losses.Future Outlook: AI Penetration Rate in Core Businesses to Exceed 90%, Laying the "AI" Foundation for the Company to Achieve Century-old SuccessThe world is changing rapidly, and AI is advancing by leaps and bounds. Whether individuals, enterprises, or even nations, we are all facing a once-in-a-century transformation and opportunity. Those who understand and use AI well will enhance their capabilities and ride on the trend of the era.Recently, at China Gas's 2025 opening conference, several members of the company's board of directors and core management mentioned the profound impact and inspiration that DeepSeek has had on themselves and the gas industry. Mr. LIU Ming Hui, Chairman and President of China Gas, stated at the meeting that China Gas will invest more heavily in AI application research across more segments of the Group, utilizing the latest and best AI technologies. The company will be focusing on the implementation of relevant technologies, further driving its intelligent transformation, and enhancing its safety operations, enterprise management, and customer service capabilities. Such efforts would help consolidate China Gas’s leadership in the industry, as well as lay an "AI" foundation for the century-old enterprise. He added that all employees will be required to learn about large AI models like those by DeepSeek and to use AI effectively.A representative of China Gas's Yipin Smart Living (YPH) noted that AI technology applications have entered YPH scenarios, covering such core areas as software development and YPH mall operations. Through practice and trial runs spanning code-assisted generation, automated production of product materials, and data-driven product selection, AI has demonstrated its efficiency-enhancing value in standardized processes. Preliminary application data shows that related technologies have improved work efficiency by 15%-50%, with significant room for further optimization.Regarding safety management, China Gas will continue to deepen AI application, building a comprehensive early warning Big Data platform to achieve real-time monitoring of key information, such as overdue safety inspections and households unvisited for over two years. The "AI-driven Brain for Operations" will constantly monitor safety dynamics, predict potential risks in advance, ensure the timely detection and proper handling of hazards, provide a scientific basis for safety management, and ensure user safety.As for meter reading management, China Gas will combine the latest technologies on AI data analysis to deeply mine and analyze meter reading data, predict customer gas demand, and optimize meter reading and billing plans, improving work efficiency, reducing human error, enhancing service accuracy and reliability, and making meter reading work more scientific and logical. At the same time, the company’s Big Data platform will deeply analyze gas consumption behavior and provide personalized gas usage suggestions and service plans to further enhance the service experience and satisfaction level of users.Mr. HAN Peng, General Manager of China Gas's Digital Development Division, said: "AI is not just a tool but also the main engine that is reshaping the patterns of our industry. We will use technology to drive the gas industry’s shift from 'experience-driven' to 'data intelligence-driven,' providing a model for a safe, efficient, and green future energy system."Industry Value: Applying AI is an Opportunity and a Responsibility, Setting a Smart Energy Benchmark for Public BenefitMr. HAN Peng added that China Gas will invest over RMB300 million in three major areas: the digital twin platform, low-carbon intelligent operations, and comprehensive user experience upgrade. In the next three years, the AI penetration rate in China Gas's core businesses will exceed 90%, driving operational costs down by another 20%. The industry's first gas digital twin platform will be built, covering over 80% of the national pipeline network, setting a new benchmark for industry development.The digital twin platform will cover over 80% of the national pipeline network, achieve real-time simulation and intelligent regulation, driving operational costs down by another 20%. The low-carbon intelligent operations will combine AI and IoT technologies to optimize energy allocation and loss control, helping achieve the "dual carbon" goals. Additionally, the comprehensive user experience upgrade will bolster the uptake of AI digital human applications and intelligent customer services, with the user satisfaction rate set to exceed 99%, creating a benchmark for industry services.From risk warning to resource optimization, from efficient transformation to experience upgrade, China Gas is leveraging AI technology to drive the intelligent transformation of the gas industry. DeepSeek represents a new global AI boom, led by China. China Gas's wealth AI application practices and achievements not only serve as a testament to the feasibility of AI technology implementation, but will also open up infinite possibilities for "AI + green energy" for the public."The rapid development of artificial intelligence is reshaping the gas industry in an unprecedented and in-depth manner. As a pioneer in China's gas industry, we are fully aware that AI is not just a technological tool, but also the principal engine for driving the industry’s transformation and serving national strategies," said Mr. LIU Ming Hui, "The gas industry is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Applying AI is not only an opportunity, but also a responsibility. As an industry leader, China Gas has the duty to set a smarter and safer energy enterprise benchmark for Chinese users and the government. We firmly believe that with AI as a link, the gas industry will be safer, more efficient, and greener, giving momentum to the country's high-quality development. The Group is willing to work with all sectors, using technology as wings and our mission as the helm, to jointly write a glorious chapter in the new era of smart energy!"About China GasChina Gas Holdings Limited ("China Gas", stock code: 384.

SINGAPORE, Feb 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), a leading jobs and talent platform, has released the annual foundit Insights Tracker (fit) report, offering comprehensive insights into hiring trends across Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. This in-depth analysis sheds light on the evolving employment landscapes in these dynamic Southeast Asian economies.The tracker analyses labour market trends in Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, offering key insights into hiring dynamics across these job markets. A closer look at the hiring trends shows that the Philippines recorded a robust 20% YoY growth in hiring primarily driven by its expansion of retail, logistics, and BPO sectors. Malaysia also experienced a 10% rise in hiring activities, while Singapore saw an 11% drop, reflecting a slowdown, especially in industries like IT and BFSI.Commenting on these findings, V Suresh, CEO of foundit, said, “The evolving employment landscape across Southeast Asia is shaped by key factors such as digital adoption, workplace dynamics, and shifting compensation strategies. Malaysia has leveraged its digital momentum, particularly in retail and hospitality, to drive substantial hiring growth. Similarly, the Philippines has capitalised on consumer demand to expand its retail sector. Meanwhile, in Singapore, technology and efficiency are redefining industry roles. Overall, businesses that strike a balance between technology-driven strategies and employee well-being will be best positioned to navigate these shifts and sustain long-term growth."Malaysia recorded the highest YoY growth in Retail hiring at 85%, followed by the Philippines at 75%, where growth was driven by rapid expansion of retail outlets and rising middle-class consumption. Meanwhile, Singapore's retail industry experienced a 9% YoY decline in hiring activities, which reflects the maturity of its online shopping business.A sector-specific analysis showed that substantial investments, visa-free policies and spending on digital advertising across borders made by the Malaysian government led to the 42% YoY growth in hiring in the hospitality sector. Meanwhile, growing infrastructural investments, rising tourism, and the use of smart hospitality technology like digital booking systems enabled the Philippines to achieve a notable 30% growth.Singapore's hospitality industry saw a 15% decline in recruitment annually, reflecting a slowdown in workforce demand within the sector. This low performance might be attributed to limited promotional initiatives, tighter visa norms and technological shifts such as jobs being outsourced to artificial intelligence (AI) and automation.Functional outlook analysis across sectors indicated that Malaysia saw a 25% annual increase in roles across Software, Hardware, and Telecom. This resilience reflects the high demand for experts in AI, machine learning, and cloud computing, aligning with the global digitalisation trend as companies place a higher priority on technology for long-term growth and sustainability. In contrast, Singapore experienced a sharp 45% decline in tech roles, and Philippines faced challenges at -8% YoY.Hiring activity in the Marketing & Communications industry saw an upward annual trend in both the Philippines and Malaysia, reaching 43% and 36%, respectively. Digital campaigns, the growth of social media, SEO & SEM, and expanding e-commerce technology have propelled this surge. In contrast, Singapore's Marketing & Communications sector faced a 9% decline in hiring demand, primarily due to reduced budgets for traditional marketing roles.A notable shift was observed in HR & Administration roles, with the Philippines experiencing remarkable growth of 47% over the last year. This was driven by the expansion of industries such as Retail, Outsourcing, and Infrastructure sectors, as companies prioritised scaling their HR functions to manage workforce growth, streamline operations, and enhance employee engagement. At the same time, HR roles in Malaysia grew by 28%, while Singapore saw a 12% decline, most likely due to organisations in the country shifting towards automation and outsourcing of administrative functions to optimise costs.About foundit Insights TrackerThe foundit Insights Tracker (fit) offers a detailed perspective on hiring patterns in Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, focusing on the demand for specific skills, available positions, and salary ranges in the market.

賓夕法尼亞州費城, 2025年2月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 一份新的 CGFNS International 報告顯示，2024 年進入美國的護士移民年增長率保持穩健，因醫療系統繼續依賴受過國外教育的護士來緩解持續的人手短缺問題。 然而，該組織在其《2024 年護士移民報告》中指出，在簽證積壓持續、護士就業類綠卡配額受限的情況下，加之特朗普政府正在實施的新移民政策可能進一步影響簽證的可用性和審批時間，目前的高移民率可能難以持續。 CGFNS 是一家全球衛生人力資源非營利組織，為移民當局和州執照委員會核實醫療專業人員的資質。該機構報告稱，在 2024 財年，其 VisaScreen® (VS) 服務共收到 24,733 份申請。儘管這一數字比 2023 財年下降 4.6%，但 CGFNS 指出，申請數量仍明顯高於疫情前水平，2024 年的申請量比 2018 財年高出近 200%。 報告中的其他關鍵數據如下：儘管 2024 年 VS 認證發放給了來自 100 多個國家的護士，但其中 92% 來自排名前十的國家。 菲律賓仍占 VS 認證的最大比例，超過 51%，其次是加拿大，占 8%，肯尼亞占 6.5%。近期這一分佈略有變化，菲律賓的占比從去年的 60% 下降，而肯尼亞、尼日利亞和加納的占比均顯著增長。 與護士受教育國家的集中趨勢類似，簽證類別也高度集中。其中，76% 的 VS 認證發放給尋求永久綠卡（如 EB-3 簽證）的人群，而 TN 簽證（12%）和 H1-B 簽證（11%）則是僅有的其他占比較大的類別。“這些數據證實了外界的觀察，即美國醫療系統仍然依賴護士移民來緩解持續的人手短缺問題。如果這一合格護士來源渠道受到干擾，將帶來深遠影響，包括加劇醫療人力短缺、增加患者護理負擔，並加重護士的職業倦怠。” CGFNS 總裁兼首席執行官 Peter Preziosi 博士表示， “這是一個涉及多層面的全球性挑戰，需要護士輸出國和接收國之間開展協作，尋求創新解決方案。” CGFNS International 已獲得美國國土安全部批准，可為九類受過國外教育的醫療專業人員提供職業簽證的聯邦資質審核服務。 為提供全球背景數據，該報告還分析了全球護士及醫療專業人員的遷移趨勢，尤其是在各護士來源國和目的地國如何平衡對熟練醫療人員的需求與本國醫療人力留存挑戰方面。報告指出，部分非洲國家（包括津巴布韋和加納）已暫停發放護士移民所需的相關證書，而尼日利亞則引入了境內服務要求，要求護士在移民前完成一定的國內服務期限。其他國家（如納米比亞）則採取了提供激勵措施的方式，以鼓勵護士選擇留在本國工作。 下載2024 年護士移民報告：在變化的移民流動中平衡持續的人力需求。聯繫信息David St. John dstjohn@cgfns.org來源: CGFNS International Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Feb 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new CGFNS International report indicates that a robust annual rate of nurse migration into the United States held steady in 2024 as healthcare systems continued to look to foreign-educated nurses to help address persistent staffing shortages.However, in its 2024 Nurse Migration Report, the organization also said the current high rates were likely unsustainable amid persisting visa retrogression and caps on employment-based green cards for nurses, along with new immigration policies being implemented by the Trump Administration that will likely have further impact on visa availability and processing times.CGFNS, a global health workforce non-profit that verifies credentials of healthcare professionals for immigration authorities and state licensing boards, reported that in fiscal year 2024 it received 24,733 applications for its VisaScreen® (VS) service. While this is a 4.6% drop from FY 2023, the organization noted application levels remain significantly higher than pre-pandemic figures, with the 2024 figure at nearly 200% above FY 2018.Other key data from the report:While VS certifications went to nurses from more than 100 countries in 2024, 92% were educated in one of the top 10 countries on the list.The Philippines continued to account for more than 51% of VS certificates, followed by Canada with 8% and Kenya with 6.5%. There has been a slight shift in this distribution recently, with the Philippines dropping from 60% of the total last year, while Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana have all showed considerable growth in their share.Like countries of education, visa categories are also significantly concentrated, with 76% of VS certificates issued to those seeking permanent green cards (such as EB-3 visas), while TN (12%) and H1-B (11%) made up the only other significant categories."These figures confirm what others are seeing, that U.S. healthcare systems continue to depend on nurse immigrants to address persistent staffing shortages. Disruptions to this pipeline of qualified nurses would have far-reaching consequences, exacerbating workforce shortages, increasing patient care loads, and worsening nurse burnout," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, President and CEO of CGFNS. "This is a multilayered global challenge that demands collaborative and innovative solutions among source and receiving countries."CGFNS International is approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to satisfy federal credential screening requirements for occupational visas for nine categories of foreign-educated healthcare professionals.To offer global context for the U.S. numbers, the report also analyzes worldwide migration of nurses and healthcare professionals, particularly as both source and destination countries continue to grapple with balancing the demand for skilled healthcare workers against the challenges of retaining their domestic workforces. It noted that some countries in Africa, including Zimbabwe and Ghana, have paused the release of certificates that are needed by nurses to emigrate, while Nigeria has introduced in-country service requirements that nurses must fulfill prior to migration. Other governments, such as Namibia, have pursued the pathway of creating incentives for nurses who choose to stay.Download the 2024 Nurse Migration Report: Balancing sustained workforce demand amid shifting migration flows.Contact InformationDavid St. Johndstjohn@cgfns.orgSOURCE: CGFNS International Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

WILMINGTON, DE, Feb 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Naoris Protocol, pioneers of Decentralized CyberSecurity, launched their highly anticipated Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet, recording over 2.5 million transactions in the first week. This represents an important step towards a decentralized cybersecurity future, empowering users to secure, earn through a transformative community based security model.Digital infrastructure is increasingly exposed, with centralized cybersecurity systems failing against sophisticated cyber threats and emerging quantum computing risks. Naoris Protocol’s Decentralized Proof of Security (dPoSec) blockchain with fully integrated Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Decentralized SWARM AI, introduces a new era of trustless, distributed security validation online.The integration and alignment with Post-Quantum Cryptographic Standards, including NIST PQC, NATO NCIA, and ETSI agencies, ensures that Naoris Protocol’s dPoSec blockchain is resistant to both classical and quantum cyber threats.In just one week since launch on January 31, 2025, Naoris Protocol’s Testnet has shattered expectations:524,000 Naoris Wallets installed210,000 Browser Security Nodes deployed17M+ cyber threats mitigated by dPoSec2.6M Post-Quantum transactions processedThe Naoris dPoSec blockchain is standing up to massive volumes of post-quantum transactions, proving its quantum-safe architecture can neutralize future cyber threats today. See a post-quantum key in action: here“Our vision is to create a cybersecurity framework that becomes stronger as it grows,” said David Carvalho, CEO & Founder of Naoris Protocol. “The overwhelming response to our DePIN Testnet underscores the need for decentralized cybersecurity solutions that eliminate single points of failure and build collective resilience across Web2 and Web3.”The continual failure of centralized cybersecurity was perfectly highlighted with the CrowdStrike outage of July 2024, which crippled global systems. Naoris Protocol’s DePIN approach removes such vulnerabilities by distributing security validation across a decentralized mesh of devices, protecting against breaches and malpractice.“Centralized security models are obsolete,” said David Holtzman, Chief Strategy Officer of Naoris Protocol. “Naoris Protocol ensures that security is continuously validated by the network itself, reducing risk and increasing trust in the digital ecosystem.”Following the Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet launch, Naoris Protocol will also introduce:- Expanded Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) implementations across a range of decentralized applications that safeguard against quantum-era threats.- Cross-chain interoperability, enabling PQC security across multiple blockchain infrastructures.- Integration with enterprise cybersecurity solutions, securing critical Web2 & Web3 ecosystems.With the DePIN sector expected to reach $3.5 trillion by 2028, Naoris Protocol is positioning itself as the backbone of security and trust for all Web2 & Web3 infrastructures across cloud computing, data storage, and IoT security.By participating, users not only protect their digital environments but also actively contributing to the creation of a decentralized cybersecurity mesh network, designed to secure the digital world—devices, applications, APIs, and systems—across critical infrastructure, enterprises, governments, and key sectors like finance, defense, healthcare, and Web3.

SINGAPORE, Feb 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Infocus International Group, a global business intelligence provider in strategic information and professional services, presents the Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements online masterclass, scheduled to go live on 4th February & 15th September 2025.In the global marketplace of 2020s, both developed and developing economies urgently need to master the key techniques and models for transforming to renewable generation while strengthening the reliability of new energy markets and systems. These focus on adapting and negotiating the latest models for Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (RE PPAs) and on rapidly attracting new private investments in renewable energy sources. Unlike past fossil-fuel based Independent Power Project (IPP) models that featured standardized take-or- pay contracts – today’s renewable energy markets demand more innovative incentives to attract RE supply, conform to RE generation availability, ensure power system reliability, as well as more attractive and sustainable mixtures of fuel sources. Government power sector strategies are now struggling to choose among different practical incentives for new private investments in the renewable technologies including solar energy, wind power, bio-mass incineration and mini-hydro investments.This interactive 5-session workshop will provide clear explanations of the new models of Renewable Energy PPA risk allocation, of ensuring project bankability, of allowing RE generators to compete in energy markets and power pools. The practical models for RE investment credit enhancements will be demonstrated through a series of real case examples of RE PPA contracts, renewable project finance transactions, and competitive energy markets. Case Studies will include real examples from Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.A participant from European Bank for Reconstruction and Development remarked, “A well delivered course and a trainer with deep experience. Particularly valuable sessions included the group work negotiating a PPA.”Another participant from Marsh commented, “This was well delivered training - covering many aspects both theory and practical.”Why AttendBest practices from international case studies of successful RE PPAs to avoid common pitfallsDirect the legal design of RE PPAs based on your own company’s risk profile and corporate goalsLead strategies for the design and regulation of new competitive electricity markets to attract renewable private power investmentsDevelop clear incentives for bankable private investments in renewable energy generationEnvironmental, social & governance (ESG) impact mitigation techniques to ensure sustainabilityManage successful renewable power project finance transactionsWant to learn moreSimply email to calvin@infocusinternational.com or call +65 6325 0235 to register your attendance.
