Focus on the “Four Evolutionary Capabilities” of Private Enterprises as European Delegation Joins Efforts to Foster a China-Europe Cooperation Bridge

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 April 2026 – “Momentum Unleashed, Time is Now · GE Jun 2026 Grain Rain Speech” was recently staged in Hangzhou. GE Jun, the Chairman and CEO of TOJOY Shared Smart Enterprise Services, joined more than 2,000 private entrepreneurs, a visiting European political and business delegation, and leading scholars and experts in a far-reaching dialogue on how private enterprises may endure, adapt and evolve in a new era.

This year marks the third consecutive edition of GE Jun’s annual Grain Rain Speech. From “Leap Ahead Again” in Shenzhen in 2024, to “With Belief, The Road Opens Up” in Chengdu in 2025, and this year’s “Momentum Unleashed, Time is Now” in Hangzhou, the series has maintained a clear thematic continuity. Across the three editions, it has attracted more than 6,000 entrepreneurs to attend in person and reached tens of millions online, and has become a signature public intellectual platform amid the transformation wave facing private enterprises.

Focusing on Three Major Currents and Advancing Four Evolutionary Capabilities

GE Jun, formerly Global Vice President at Intel, Apple and NVIDIA, brings extensive global management experience. In a three-hour address, he structured his remarks around four major chapters — “Great Rivers and Mighty Currents,” “Big Waters, Big Fish,” “The Evolution of Fish,” and “Deep Bonds Between Fish and Water” — offering a systematic reading of the three great currents confronting private enterprises in 2026: technology, globalization and policy.

He pointed out that enterprises in 2026 are confronting three key realities: competition is shifting from “manufacturing capability” to “scenario-solving capability”; overseas expansion is moving from “product exports” to “capability exports”; and policy is evolving from a “traffic light” into a “navigation system.” Only by cultivating four evolutionary capabilities — antifragility, multi-generational continuity under the “new three generations,” ecosystem positioning, and two-way engagement — can enterprises truly navigate economic cycles.

European Delegation Attends Event in China as TOJOY Builds a Bridge for China-Europe Collaboration

During the speech, GE Jun said that true globalization is about “two-way engagement” — not only Chinese enterprises going abroad, but also international partners coming into China, with both sides enabling one another and pursuing shared prosperity.

Of particular interest, Ralf, founder of the European thought exchange platform Big Improvement Day, led a 30-member European political and business delegation to China specifically to attend the event. Big Improvement Day is understood to enjoy wide influence in global economic thought circles and is often described as a “mini-Davos.” During the event, TOJOY and the delegation jointly organised the 2026 Sino-European Entrepreneurs Cooperation Forum (SEEC) and Global Innovation and Development Conference, providing a long-term cooperation platform for entrepreneurs from China and Europe.

As a concrete implementation of the “two-way engagement” concept, TOJOY announced the launch of the “Global Shared Office.” Backed by the Group’s entrepreneur resource-sharing platform with more than 6 million registered users, the initiative will create overseas footholds for small and medium-sized enterprises expanding internationally and support the high-quality global expansion of private enterprises.

New Book “A Distant Drum” Released at the Event, Highlighting the Global Evolution Path of Private Enterprises

At the event, GE Jun officially released his new book, A Distant Drum: Evolution of China’s Private Enterprises in a Global Context. The book systematically sets out the evolutionary logic and practical pathways of Chinese private enterprises within a global framework, bringing together the intellectual essence of GE Jun’s more than three decades of global perspective and deep practical engagement with the private economy. “All those who stand apart do so because they have heard the drumbeat from afar.” With these words, GE Jun offered his message to entrepreneurs on the journey ahead.

GE Jun said: “Over the past 30 years, China’s economy has been defined by ‘big waters, big fish.’ Over the next 30 years, it will surely be marked by ‘deep bonds between fish and water.’ I am willing to be a resolute builder of bridges, gathering millions of ‘I’s into a shared ‘we.'”

Introducing new security solution designed for the rapidly emerging era of agentic AI

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 March 2026 – TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader, today introduced TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway, a new security solution engineered to give organizations visibility and control over autonomous agent interactions to strengthen security where systems interact across data, tools, and environments with increasing autonomy.

To learn more about TrendAI™ and TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway, visit: trendaisecurity.com.

Rachel Jin, CPBO and Head of TrendAI™: “Tools like OpenClaw show just how powerful and accessible this new model has become. Organizations need to deploy these systems to unlock the next wave of productivity, and many already are, often without centralized oversight. TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway enables this by providing visibility, control, and confidence.”

Traditional cybersecurity is built to protect endpoints, networks, and applications. In contrast, agentic AI systems operate across dynamic chains of interaction where agents, models, APIs, and data continuously exchange information and trigger actions.

Eva Chen, CEO of Trend Micro: “As AI systems become more autonomous, security must evolve from protection to governance. This is the next frontier of cybersecurity and the focus of TrendAI™.”

TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway is a new way to address the emerging security gap created by agentic AI systems, such as OpenClaw, where autonomous agents act across enterprise environments without clear security control points. This was demonstrated last week at NVIDIA GTC, where a fundamentally new attack surface was highlighted – one that traditional security models were not designed to control: Autonomous agentic frameworks, such as OpenClaw, accelerating enterprise adoption of AI systems capable of planning, executing, and coordinating actions across workflows at machine-speed. There has never been a more critical business-level need than understanding and governing how agentic systems behave, and what actions they are taking. The orchestration required to monitor this attack surface created complex, multi-step workflows across enterprise systems until now.

According to Forrester, “AI agents are proliferating across workflows, but security programs built for human-centric architectures fail in agentic environments. These agents operate with dynamic reasoning, ephemeral identities, and goal-driven autonomy, creating unpredictable attack paths. Risks to agentic architectures include intent hijacking and cascading hallucinations that extend beyond confidentiality to integrity and availability. Without guardrails, enterprises risk regulatory violations, financial loss, and disclosure events from agentic security issues.” ¹

TrendAI™’s Agentic Governance Gateway allows enterprises to focus on the behavior, interactions, and outcomes of AI systems in real-world environments. TrendAI™ Agentic Governance Gateway is delivered through the TrendAI Vision One™ platform, building on TrendAI™’s existing strengths, including AI-driven analytics to detect anomalous behavior and emerging threats, and a unified approach that correlates context across endpoints, cloud, applications, and AI systems.

TrendAI™’s Agentic Governance Gateway enables enterprises to:

• Gain visibility into how agents interact across systems
• Understand the context and intent behind agent communications to identify risky or unintended actions
• Enforce policy and control over agent-driven actions
• Introduce human oversight at critical decision points
• Simulate governance decisions before deployment — previewing the full policy impact without executing it
• Stage, preview, and roll back governance changes through a managed lifecycle

With these new advanced capabilities, TrendAI™ is enabling organizations to secure the critical interaction layer – the dynamic communication fabric where autonomous systems coordinate, make decisions, and drive enterprise actions. By establishing robust oversight and control at this pivotal layer, TrendAI™ ensures that agentic interactions are visible, governed, and trusted, effectively closing the security gap in agent-driven AI environments.

TrendAI™ is the enterprise business unit of Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704).

The proposed deal centres on AMD’s latest data centre-grade accelerators, designed to rival dominant offerings in the global AI chip market. Upstage, known for its large language model development and enterprise AI services, is positioning the potential purchase as a step towards building sovereign computing capabilities within Korea, where demand for generative AI infrastructure is rising sharply across finance, manufacturing and public-sector applications.

People familiar with the discussions indicate that the scale of the planned acquisition reflects both immediate computational needs and longer-term ambitions to establish a domestic AI ecosystem capable of training and deploying advanced models without depending heavily on foreign cloud providers. The move aligns with broader efforts in several countries to localise AI infrastructure amid geopolitical concerns and supply chain constraints.

AMD has been expanding its footprint in AI hardware as companies seek alternatives to entrenched suppliers. Its latest accelerators, part of the MI300 series, are designed to handle large-scale model training and inference workloads with improved memory bandwidth and energy efficiency. Industry analysts view Upstage’s interest as a sign that AMD’s strategy of targeting hyperscalers and emerging AI players is gaining traction beyond North America.

Upstage has grown steadily since its founding, focusing on document processing, natural language understanding and enterprise automation. Its proprietary models have been deployed across industries including banking and legal services, where demand for domain-specific AI solutions continues to expand. Executives at the company have previously emphasised the need for greater control over computing resources, citing cost volatility and limited access to high-performance GPUs as barriers to scaling.

Securing a large volume of accelerators could enable Upstage to train more advanced models locally while offering competitive AI services to regional clients. It also positions the company to compete with larger global players that benefit from extensive infrastructure investments. Market observers note that access to compute power has become a defining factor in the AI race, with startups increasingly seeking direct hardware procurement rather than relying solely on cloud-based capacity.

The discussions come amid tightening supply conditions for AI chips, driven by surging demand from technology firms, research institutions and governments. Export controls and trade restrictions have further complicated access to advanced semiconductors, prompting countries in Asia and Europe to accelerate domestic capacity-building initiatives. Korea, home to major semiconductor manufacturers, has been exploring strategies to strengthen its position across the AI value chain.

Government-backed initiatives have aimed to support AI development through funding, talent programmes and infrastructure investments. The potential deal between Upstage and AMD reflects private-sector momentum complementing these policy efforts, as companies seek to capitalise on the growing importance of AI across economic sectors.

Competition in the AI hardware market has intensified as AMD, Intel and other players attempt to challenge established leaders. While Nvidia maintains a dominant position, particularly in training large language models, customers are increasingly evaluating alternative suppliers to diversify risk and manage costs. AMD’s recent partnerships with cloud providers and enterprise customers highlight a shift towards a more competitive landscape.

Analysts caution that large-scale procurement of accelerators involves significant logistical and operational challenges, including data centre readiness, energy consumption and integration with existing software frameworks. Upstage would need to invest in infrastructure and engineering capabilities to fully utilise the hardware, particularly if it aims to build a self-sufficient AI platform within Korea.

At the same time, the strategic implications extend beyond a single company. A successful deployment of large-scale compute resources by Upstage could encourage other regional players to pursue similar investments, contributing to a broader decentralisation of AI development. This trend could reshape how AI capabilities are distributed globally, reducing the concentration of computing power in a handful of technology hubs.

TrendAI™ to support NVIDIA OpenShell open source runtime to add security for autonomous AI agents

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 March 2026 – TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader, today announced expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to support NVIDIA OpenShell, a new open source runtime for agentic AI introduced at NVIDIA GTC. The solution enables organizations to deploy autonomous AI agents with built-in governance, continuous risk visibility, and runtime enforcement, addressing key barriers to production adoption of agentic AI.

TrendAI™ is teaming with NVIDIA to add security for the open source NVIDIA OpenShell runtime as the ecosystem evolves. Learn more: https://resources.trendmicro.com/2026-nvidia-gtc.html

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™: “Agentic AI changes the security equation. When AI systems can plan, take action, and interact with other tools on their own, the risk profile looks very different from traditional AI. Our collaboration with NVIDIA allows us to bring security directly into the architecture so organizations can adopt agentic AI with the visibility and control they expect.”

Traditional AI security models were built for short-lived interactions between users and models. Agentic AI changes that dynamic by operating continuously and taking action across environments.

NVIDIA OpenShell is an open source runtime for long-lived, self-evolving agents capable of planning, memory, and tool execution. While these capabilities unlock significant productivity gains, they also introduce risks related to unauthorized skills, hidden behaviors, prompt injection, and unintended system access.

Pat Lee, vice president, Strategic Enterprise Partnerships at NVIDIA: “Agentic AI opens the door for a new class of applications that can plan, reason, and take action. By working with TrendAI™, we’re helping developers add visibility and controls to make it safer to run autonomous AI.”

TrendAI™ can transform agentic AI from a high-risk experiment into an enterprise-ready architecture. Organizations gain the ability to define trust boundaries, enforce policy at runtime, and maintain continuous visibility into autonomous AI behavior, all while preserving the flexibility and power that make agentic systems valuable.

TrendAI™ adds an enterprise-grade security layer that governs how agents behave, what tools they can access, and how risk is detected and enforced, before, during, and after execution.

The collaboration extends across the NVIDIA AI–Q blueprint and the NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit, enabling consistent security, governance, and observability as agentic systems scale across enterprise environments.

TrendAI Vision One™‘s layered security architecture for OpenShell provides:

• Centralized AI governance and compliance enforced directly in the agent runtime
• Skill and tool risk visibility, including continuous scanning of agent skills and MCP integrations
• Dynamic behavioral analysis to detect hidden or malicious actions
• Inline policy enforcement that blocks untrusted skills and actions at runtime
• AI specific threat protection, including prompt injection and sensitive data exposure detection
• Continuous monitoring and auditability through agentic telemetry and SIEM integration. These capabilities allow organizations to define trust boundaries, enforce policy, and maintain visibility across autonomous AI agents without limiting innovation.
