Enterprise software procurement was designed around relatively predictable units: users, licenses and subscriptions. Agentic AI is disrupting that assumption. A single employee prompt can trigger tool calls, model switches, retries, background APIs and multi-agent tasks—turning an apparently simple interaction into a chain of potentially billable events. The rise of agentic AI is creating a new…
Enterprise AI is entering a less glamorous but increasingly important phase: making sense of the documents, files and fragmented data that sit underneath everyday business processes. Singapore-based fileAI is targeting that layer with fresh backing from SMBC Asia Rising Fund and Singtel Innov8, alongside the launch of its fileScout unstructured-data mapping technology. The investment announced…
Developing more efficient green hydrogen systems can require engineers to run thousands of computationally expensive simulations before finding a useful operating point. Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated a different approach: an AI-guided optimization framework for solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) that achieved its reported optimization results using just 17 high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics simulations….
Viva Biotech is increasing its investment in AI-driven drug discovery as pharmaceutical research moves toward workflows that combine computational design with laboratory validation. The Hong Kong-listed biotech services group reported RMB1.01 billion in first-half 2026 revenue, up 21% year over year, while expanding its AI-enabled discovery platform and advancing commercial CDMO projects. Viva Biotech Pushes…
The next frontier of industrial AI is moving beyond systems that analyze data toward machines that can understand physical environments, reason through changing conditions and take action. Avathon is positioning India at the center of that transition with a new AI Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bangalore, bringing together researchers, engineers and technical leaders to…
