New data centers in Malaysia and the Philippines to meet growing demand for AI and cloud services New center in Singapore designed to support over 5,000 businesses and 100,000 developers to accelerate enterprise AI innovation and talent development globally Driving AI innovation with product upgrades and global green AI research Business showcases for Qwen, Alibaba's large language model, across Asia and the Middle East SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 July 2025 - Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, today marked a decade of operations in Singapore and the 10th anniversary of the establishment of its international headquarters in the country. To commemorate this milestone, it unveiled new infrastructure investments, a new AI competency center, advanced cloud and AI technologies, and global research findings on green AI adoption at its Global Summit, underscoring its ongoing commitment to advancing AI innovation. Held in Singapore, the Alibaba Cloud Global Summit gathered over 500 leaders from business, technology, and the public sector worldwide to explore the future of AI, cloud computing, and sustainable digital transformation. The event also reaffirmed Singapore's position as a strategic hub and international headquarters for Alibaba Cloud's long-term growth in Asia-Pacific and beyond. Selina Yuan, President of International Business at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, said, "Over the past decade, Singapore has been both an innovation center and a gateway to the region's digital economy. As we celebrate this important milestone, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering businesses of all sizes and verticals while advancing cutting-edge AI innovations and driving sustainable digital transformation in Singapore for years to come. Together with our partners and customers, we look forward to shaping Singapore's future as a global leader in AI and cloud innovation." New Data Centers in Malaysia and the Philippines To meet the growing demand for cloud and AI services across Southeast Asia, Alibaba Cloud announced the launch of its third data center in Malaysia on July 1, 2025. It also plans to open its second data center in the Philippines in October 2025. Those expansions build on earlier infrastructure investments in Thailand, Mexico, and South Korea, announced in the first half of 2025. This growing network ensures that Alibaba Cloud can meet the rising global demand for secure, resilient and scalable cloud services, empowering businesses, developers, and organizations to innovate and scale with confidence as AI adoption accelerates across industries. Launch of AI Global Competency Center to Power Enterprise Innovation During the event, Alibaba Cloud launched its first AI Global Competency Center (AIGCC) in Singapore. The move aims to accelerate AI adoption by supporting enterprises of all sizes, from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to large-scale organizations, while also addressing the growing global demand for AI talent. The center is designed to support over 5,000 businesses and 100,000 developers, offering access to advanced AI models and powerful computing resources to accelerate experimentation and deployment. Developers and businesses will benefit from the AI Innovation Lab, which offers token credits, curated datasets and personalized support tailored to real-world scenarios and industry needs. As a collaborative innovation hub, the AIGCC aims to bring together more than 1,000 companies and startups to co-develop next-generation AI solutions, fostering an ecosystem of applied innovation. The center will also introduce over 10 AI agents across key industries - including finance, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, retail and energy - demonstrating AI's potential across different verticals. To build a robust AI talent pipeline, Alibaba Cloud will partner with more than 120 universities and institutions globally, with the goal of training 100,000 AI professionals annually. New Cloud Products for Global AI Development Alibaba Cloud announced new offerings to international customers by upgrading Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) products and introducing new AI tools. Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS), a real-time data streaming service, introduced a new "One Channel For AI" capability to streamline multimodal data preparation. This feature establishes an end-to-end pipeline that automatically converts both unstructured and structured data—including documents, images, tables, audio, and video—into vector databases, enabling developers to create real-time knowledge bases and create Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications with just few clicks. By automating the vectorization workflow, the upgraded DTS lowers technical barriers, enabling businesses to deploy LLM-powered applications faster and more efficiently. Alibaba Cloud's Platform for AI (PAI) has enhanced its high-performance AI inference capabilities to better support complex models like Mixture of Experts (MoE) and large-scale deployments with two key improvements in its PAI-Elastic Algorithm Service (EAS). For MoE architectures, PAI-EAS now features Expert Parallel (EP), an advanced optimization that works with a prefill-decode disaggregation framework to boost efficiency. This combination significantly increases inference efficiency, enabling higher throughput for LLMs while optimizing resource utilization. For example, the EP distributed deployment for Qwen3 235B achieves a TPS (Tokens Per Second) performance exceeding 15k, while maintaining an average per-token latency of under 50 milliseconds. PAI-EAS also tackles slow cold starts and inefficient scaling with its new Model Weights Service, which dramatically reduces loading times. This makes it possible to spin up instances in seconds, rather than minutes. Tests with Qwen3-8B show 89.8% faster cold starts and 97.6% quicker scaling, while Qwen3-32B achieves 91.4% faster cold starts and near-instant scaling. In response to customer demand, the company also revealed that its 9th Generation intel-based Enterprise Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance will be available across additional global markets from July, including Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Germany and the UK. Since its launch in April, nearly 10,000 businesses have adopted the upgraded instance, leveraging its industry-leading performance. This latest generation delivers 20% greater computing efficiency compared to previous iterations. By integrating elastic Remote Direct Memory Access (eRDMA) technology for ultra-fast networking, it achieves up to 50% performance gains in high-performance computing (HPC), search recommendations, and Redis database workloads. Alibaba Cloud's sustainability platform, Energy Expert, introduced a cutting-edge AI-driven ESG Reporting solution, empowering organizations to navigate the complexities of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures with precision and ease. Powered by Alibaba's proprietary AI model Qwen, the innovative solution streamlines report generation through AI-powered tools - such as guided structuring, automated content creation and actionable insights - while enabling seamless collaboration via real-time task management and progress tracking. Designed to align with global standards— including the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)—the platform ensures compliance, reduces operational costs, and strengthens audit readiness through traceable data lineage and centralized record-keeping. New Global Study Reveals Growing Awareness of Green AI and Adoption Challenges Also unveiled at the Global Summit were findings from a global study on the development and adoption of artificial intelligence systems that minimize energy consumption and environmental impact, known as green AI. The study was conducted by Forrester Consulting and commissioned by Alibaba in collaboration with Alibaba-NTU Global e-Sustainability CorpLab (ANGEL). Surveying over 464 business and IT leaders worldwide, including Singapore, the study reveals the growing recognition of the importance of green AI, but also highlights a significant gap between vision and execution. The study found that while 84% of leaders who have implemented an AI sustainability vision consider green AI to be important, 69% of organizations globally are still at the beginner stage of AI adoption. Many cited persistent technical challenges as key barriers to progress – among them, the lack of sustainably sourced materials for AI hardware (80%) and the difficulty of optimizing data center energy usage (73%). Beyond the technical hurdles, the survey also revealed widespread capability gaps. A significant number of decision-makers indicated they lacked the knowledge to define a clear green AI strategy (74%), as well as the skills needed to implement and operate it (76%). Considering those challenges, the study recommends several key strategies to drive wider adoption of Green AI, including powering data centers with renewable energy, deploying edge computing with optimized smaller models to reduce data center loads, and developing applications with code that requires less computational power. It also highlights the importance of increased collaboration between public and private sectors on regulation and standards and leveraging open-source models to minimize pre-training and energy consumption.

Fearless female entrepreneur rises from UAE with game connecting back to African roots
2 July 2025 00:32 KUUMAR SHYAM (ABU DHABI)Born in Ethiopia, raised in the Netherlands, and now thriving as a serial entrepreneur in Dubai, Kanessa Muluneh has built a career by spotting overlooked problems and transforming them into profitable latest project, Rise of Fearless, is a made-in-UAE, Africa-focused blockchain game that combines history, economic empowerment, and cutting-edge technology – and it's already gaining traction across the continent and diaspora.'I always knew that Africa, the Middle East, and Asia had potential,' Muluneh says. 'Western media often paints a negative picture, but when you come here, you see growth, innovation, and resilience.'Moving to Dubai three years ago was more than a change of scenery for Kanessa; it was a return to her roots. Having spent her childhood in Europe as an immigrant, she visited Ethiopia again as an adult and reconnected with her heritage in a profound way. 'The smell, the feeling, the sound, the language – everything just clicked. It felt like answers to questions I didn't even know I had,' she visit coincided with her networking with the UAE business community in trying to grow her fashion brand Mulu. 'I saw that UAE nationals were the largest investors in Ethiopia. They taught me about the African infrastructure, how things worked – including the challenges, like hard currency shortages or delivery nightmares.'Even if she would not have been told, she would have noticed anyways. And her solution, go eyes are always on the lookout for problems. After all she made her first couple of millions – the proverbial most hardest challenge – by finding a problem and solving it, all at the age of 20 in her first job as a fresh medical the hospital, she found that many female medical workers had to leave work to care for sick family members. She proposed a system where doctors could consult from home by redirecting hospital calls and accessing medical files by colleagues, she invested 8,000 euros in rerouting and file inventory. By 22, she sold that company for over €1.2 million. Her father immediately advised her to invest half of it for future and spend the other half wisely. Yet she couldn't resist splurging away the rest, so much that she had to plead with father to dip into the saved money for paying instalments for the luxury car she had brought. TikTok to Tech Her medical job was only to appease her parents. But technology excited her more. Muluneh started educating others – and herself – through a TikTok account in her mother tongue. While improving her language fluency, she shared lessons on blockchain, NFTs, and crypto. That platform evolved into a successful along she began investing in small African ventures – some as little as $500 – which later developed into full-fledged businesses. Eventually, the idea emerged to build a play-to-earn game to inspire Africa's younger generation. 'They don't want to be doctors or lawyers anymore,' she says. 'They want to be content creators, business owners. We wanted to give them a platform for that.'Muluneh found developers from the Filipino blockchain gaming community and began building her team – now more than 10 strong – in Dubai with roles spanning from game developers to marketers. 'Every business I build is about marketing first. If it doesn't sell, it's not a business,' she result: Rise of Fearless, a free-to-play, mobile-first Web3 game, deeply embedded in Ethiopian history. 'The game is based on the Battle of Adwa – when Ethiopians defeated the Italians. That moment shaped the African Union,' the founder wear traditional attire and resemble real Africans – a deliberate move to challenge the western-centric design in mainstream games. 'Current game characters for Africans don't look like us. This one does.'It is not just about Ethiopia as Kanessa has launched the game in South Africa and Kenya, with plans to expand to Ghana, Rwanda, Nigeria, and Mauritius. 'People say I'm limiting myself by focusing on Africa,' she says. 'But Africa has 1.5 billion people – and it can connects with the population largely in Asia too.'Rise of Fearless is built on blockchain, with plans for its own tokenomics and NFT system. Players can buy, sell, and trade in-game items – including rare NFT outfits – with real monetary value. 'For example, let's say there's only one rainbow-colored outfit in the whole game. If your character has it and becomes popular, its value increases – just like in real markets.'She also launched Mulu, a plus-size fashion brand that thrived during COVID. 'Sales were crazy,' she says, thanks to online fitness classes and socially distanced meetups – all cleverly used to market her products. She's now relaunching Mulu in the UAE, expanding it from plus-size to all sizes, focusing on family the end of 2025, Kanessa aims to compete with giants like Fortnite. 'That game donated $20 million in two weeks during COVID – from a free-to-play model. That's the potential we're looking at.' With Rise of Fearless, she's doing more than building a game – she's helping build a digital economy for Africa with global potential from the confines of UAE.
