Organized into Industry Vertical, LLM Adaptation, Functional, and Multimodal Experts, the framework covers industry expertise, semantic optimization, compliance, citation management, intent analysis, anti-hallucination, and five-modality optimization. According to the company, every enterprise engagement contributes to a continuous Data Flywheel, enabling ongoing enhancement of the capability framework.

The framework is further supported by GenOptima's Strategic Agent Architecture, including Gen-Centric Sentinel for AI visibility monitoring, Gen-Carto Nexus for strategy and intent analysis, Gen-Genesis Forge for multimodal content creation and model adaptation, and Gen-Cosmos CogniCore for knowledge graph construction, compliance, and digital asset management.

GenOptima also incorporates Data Protection, Cross-border Safeguards, Ethical Optimization, Compliance Guardrails, and Transparent Reporting, with execution tracking and KPI reporting designed to support accountable optimization. 

According to the published materials, the framework supports organizations across technology, SaaS, consumer products, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and international commerce. By combining expert capabilities, intelligent agents, compliance, and continuous optimization, GenOptima aims to help enterprises ensure outcome through measurable, scalable, and long-term AI visibility management.

AZALEA VISION SECURES EIC ACCELERATOR FUNDING TO ADVANCE SMART CONTACT LENS PLATFORM

Azalea Vision Co-founder and CTO Andrés Vásquez Quintero undergoing an on-eye evaluation of the ALMA smart contact lens.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Azalea Vision, a Belgian healthtech company, announced it has been selected for the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator, the European Union’s (EU) flagship programme for breakthrough, market-creating deep tech.

As the only Belgian company selected in this round, Azalea Vision will receive up to 7.5 million euros, including a non-dilutive 2.5 million euros grant and a planned five million euros equity investment from the EIC Fund, to advance its medical-grade smart contact lens platform into clinical development. (1 Euro = RM4.64)

“This is one of the toughest funding programmes in the world to win, and it validates everything we have been building, our technology, our vision, and the size of the market in front of us.

“Our technical validation is nearly complete, and the core platform works. This award gives us the resources to prove it clinically and to do it from Europe. We intend to move fast,” said Azalea Vision co-founder and chief technology officer, Andrés Vasquez Quintero in a statement.

The EIC Accelerator, part of the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, supports the start-ups judged most likely to create or disrupt global markets, and fewer than five per cent of applicants make it through its expert and jury reviews.

The EIC Fund's equity investment alongside the grant signals confidence in a company's technology, vision and market while reducing risk for private co-investors. Azalea Vision ranked among the highest-scoring applicants in its cohort and has begun the funded programme.

The funding will support clinical development alongside the final engineering work needed to bring the platform to patients.

With core platform functionality established and technical validation nearing completion, the EIC award accelerates the transition from proven technology to a certified medical product.

Following the EIC endorsement, Azalea Vision has begun discussions with strategic and financial investors across Europe and the United States to co-invest alongside the EIC Fund in its upcoming financing round.

Bitget Launches TradFi 101 to Prepare Users for the Universal Exchange Era

 

VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched TradFi 101, a long-term educational initiative designed to help crypto users understand traditional financial markets and navigate the growing intersection between digital assets and global finance. The program introduces structured learning resources covering financial foundations, asset classes, market mechanics, macroeconomics, risk management, and the evolution of multi-asset investing.

As tokenized assets become more accessible and investors increasingly participate across crypto, equities, commodities, ETFs, and real-world assets, financial literacy is becoming an essential skill for market participants. TradFi 101 is designed for a market environment where crypto-native investors can learn the drivers behind stocks, commodities, currencies, and capital flows.

Built with an education-first approach, TradFi 101 is designed as an open industry initiative that brings together exchanges, media platforms, researchers, educators, and creator communities to make financial education more accessible. Current participating and invited ecosystem contributors include Coin Bureau, CoinGecko, and TradingView among others.

“Financial markets are becoming increasingly connected, and traders are already navigating more than a single asset class,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Crypto investors today pay attention to interest rates, inflation, equities, commodities, and global liquidity alongside digital assets. As tokenization expands access to financial markets, understanding how these systems work together becomes increasingly important. TradFi 101 was created to make that knowledge more accessible and help users prepare for a future where traditional and digital assets exist within the same investment landscape.”

TradFi 101 consists of six learning modules released through a structured curriculum and supported by weekly educational content, community participation, and assessments. The program will answer 100 essential financial questions through simplified lessons designed for crypto audiences. Modules include Financial Foundations: Rediscover TradFi, Asset Encyclopedia: Your Global Wealth Checklist, Market Mechanics: How Trading Happens, Macroeconomics: The Invisible Hand, Risk & Human Nature: The Trader's Mindset, and Universal Exchange: The Final Form of Finance.

The final module explores the convergence of traditional and digital assets within a unified trading environment. As the world's largest Universal Exchange, Bitget already provides access to more than 2 million crypto tokens alongside over 10,000 US stocks, 500+ tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, foreign exchange products, and precious metals. TradFi 101 examines how tokenization is expanding access to global markets and why a broader understanding of finance will become increasingly valuable in the years ahead.

TradFi 101 is designed as a long-term initiative that contributes to the industry's broader effort to improve financial literacy for the multi-asset era. By bringing together educational contributors from across the ecosystem, the program aims to help the next generation of traders build the knowledge needed to participate more confidently in an increasingly connected financial system.

Veson Nautical Introduces the Veson Platform, a New Foundation for Maritime Trade

Combines contextual AI with deep maritime industry intelligence; unifies an enhanced IMOS experience with CoCaptain, Mail, and new Insights data products

BOSTON, June 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Veson Nautical today announced the Veson Platform, a unified, AI-powered experience that brings together IMOS, CoCaptain, Mail, and newly released Vessel Insights and Bunker Insights under a single interface. With the Veson Platform, maritime teams can now access advanced workflows, collaboration capabilities, and trusted data – all on the same foundation as the system of record.

For more than 20 years, Veson has served as the operational backbone of commercial maritime trade. IMOS, trusted by shipowners, operators, charterers, and commodity traders worldwide, encapsulates deep institutional knowledge that understands the nuance of maritime contracts and workflows. That foundation of embedded, context-aware AI is what distinguishes the Veson Platform.

"Technology should give people back their judgment, not replace it," said John Veson, co-founder and CEO of Veson Nautical. "When a system understands the context of your business, it can anticipate what you need and surface it in the moment — and because we're building it as an open, adaptable foundation, it fits the way the industry actually works."

IMOS: The standard platform, enhanced

Decades of client partnership and co-innovation shaped IMOS into the industry’s most comprehensive operating system for maritime contracts and freight management. Starting today, clients can log into the new Veson Platform to find the same robust IMOS functionality that they are familiar with, enhanced with newly released features for voyage management and operations, deeply embedded AI, powerful data insights, and more.

CoCaptain: AI built into the workflow

Initially launched to support advanced Claims workflows, CoCaptain has been expanded as an interactive AI layer across the Veson Platform. Available to all IMOS clients at no additional cost, the core CoCaptain functionality provides instant, conversational access to voyage data, historical port calls, and counterparty insights directly within the workflow. Users can ask questions, run analysis, and update records through natural-language chat, grounded in Veson’s proprietary maritime knowledge base. Read more about CoCaptain.

Mail: Communication with operational context

With a vision for more seamless collaboration across teams and counterparties, Veson’s Connect solution is now expanded to include AI-powered email. As part of Connect, Mail automatically classifies, tags, and organizes maritime communications — bringing critical commercial information into the Veson Platform. Recognized as an essential part of doing business, AI-powered Mail is included for IMOS clients, at no cost up to 1M emails and no limit on the number of users. Read more about Veson Connect and Mail.

Vessel and Bunker Insights: Trusted data where teams already work

Veson Insights combines data from sources such as VesselsValue, Q88, and Shipfix and leverages data science to deliver validated, continuously refreshed intelligence directly in the Veson Platform.

Bitget Launches Third Year of Anti-Scam Month with New Report on Multi-Asset Fraud

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched the third year of its Anti-Scam Month initiative with the release of its Anti-Scam Report 2026 titled “The Evolution of Fraud in the Multi-Asset Era”, developed in partnership with blockchain security firm SlowMist. As digital finance expands across cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, stocks, CFDs, wallets, and AI-powered investment tools, the report examines how fraud is adapting to changing investor behavior and increasingly interconnected financial ecosystems.

The report finds that changes in user behavior are reshaping how fraud campaigns are designed and deployed across digital finance. According to Bitget Research, the share of active users participating across two or more asset classes grew from under 1% in mid-2025 to more than 10% by May 2026. As users move across a wider range of products and platforms, fraud campaigns are increasingly blending multiple narratives, social engineering tactics, AI-generated content, and multiple communication channels within a single operation.

Drawing on Bitget Research and investigations conducted by SlowMist, the report found that many successful scams no longer rely on a single point of compromise. Fraud operators guide victims through a sequence of interactions spanning social media platforms, messaging applications, investment communities, phishing infrastructure, and wallet activity before assets are ultimately stolen. Between July 2025 and June 2026, Bitget's security infrastructure intercepted more than 150 million malicious requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, handled 18,135 user protection cases, and supported the recovery of $32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraudulent activity.

“Security challenges evolve alongside markets. As more users participate across crypto, stocks, tokenized assets and AI-powered products, fraud campaigns are becoming sophisticated in how they build trust and influence decision-making. Understanding those risks is an important step toward protecting users and strengthening confidence across the broader ecosystem,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

The report identifies several trends shaping the current fraud environment, including AI-generated investment personas, deepfake-enabled scams, voice-cloning attacks, synthetic investment communities, wallet-draining operations, malicious smart contracts, and increasingly sophisticated phishing campaigns. Among the cases examined are a deepfake investment scam impersonating Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, an AI-generated investment advertising campaign that reportedly defrauded thousands of Swedish investors, the Truman Show synthetic community scam involving approximately 90 fabricated investor identities, and the Rublevka Team wallet-draining operation documented in early 2026.

Beyond examining how scams operate, the report explores victim psychology, common scam entry points, post-theft asset movement, and recovery challenges. It also outlines practical measures users can take to strengthen account security, recognize AI-enabled deception, evaluate investment opportunities more effectively, and respond to security incidents.

Since launching Anti-Scam Month in 2024, Bitget has worked with security researchers, ecosystem partners, and industry organizations to improve awareness around emerging threats and promote stronger user protection practices. Throughout June, Bitget's Anti-Scam Month campaign will feature educational content, security awareness initiatives, and collaborations with industry partners aimed at helping users identify emerging threats and strengthen their ability to protect digital assets.

Jumio Is the First Identity Intelligence Provider to Offer Global Digital ID Acceptance at Scale

​Jumio Is the First Identity Intelligence Provider to Offer Global Digital ID Acceptance at Scale

Customers can now accept digital IDs across 60+ countries and territories through a single integration with no separate vendor relationships, no country-by-country accreditation

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 29 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Jumio, the leading provider of AI-powered identity intelligence, today announced that it has significantly expanded support for digital IDs across the globe, allowing Jumio customers to accept digital IDs in more than 60 countries and territories when onboarding new users, helping customers drive conversions and meet compliance mandates.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260625046687/en/

 

Digital IDs are rapidly moving from an emerging concept to a mainstream expectation. Driven by global initiatives like mobile driver's licenses (mDL), European eIDAS 2.0, Singapore’s widely adopted Singpass ecosystem, and major wallet integrations from Apple and Google, digital IDs are increasingly coexisting with, and in some markets beginning to replace, traditional physical IDs.

Jumio has been at the forefront of this evolution for years, managing accreditation on behalf of customers and enabling them to seamlessly verify eIDAS-compliant eIDs across nearly 20 EU countries. Jumio was also one of the first global identity intelligence providers to support Brazil's digital driver's license, adopted by over 60 million citizens, through both QR code validation and biometric verification against government database selfie records. Since launching acceptance in early 2025, Jumio has processed more than one million Brazil CNH Digital verifications, demonstrating that digital credentials, properly implemented, perform at scale.

Now, Jumio is further expanding its digital ID offering through its integration with leading digital ID gateway Trinsic. Jumio customers will be able to onboard new users with digital IDs in more countries than ever before. Jumio's Trinsic integration enables rapid support for new credential formats as they emerge without customers bearing the accreditation burden. But where other providers offer only basic credential checks, Jumio delivers true identity intelligence by enriching digital ID verification with biometric authentication, liveness detection, multiple risk signals and Jumio’s Identity Graph, powered by global cross-customer data — all through the same platform customers already use for physical document verification. There is no need for additional vendor relationships or fragmented workflows, just a single integration that supports every credential format.

“Jumio is the first identity intelligence provider that meets users wherever their identity lives, whether it’s in a physical document, mobile wallet, or government-issued digital credential — all through a single, trusted integration,” explained Philipp Pointner, Jumio’s chief of digital identity. “The credential landscape is shifting faster than most organizations can track. Our job is to make sure our customers are always ahead of the curve with each new government mandate, wallet format, or fraud vector. That's what identity intelligence at scale looks like.”

“The future of identity verification isn't a sharper photo of a plastic card, it's accepting the digital IDs people already carry,” said Riley Hughes, CEO and co-founder of Trinsic. “By integrating Trinsic's acceptance network, Jumio's customers can now instantly verify customers through mobile driver's licenses, eIDs, EUDI, and reusable credentials across more than 60 countries and territories, alongside the biometric and document checks its customers already trust. We're proud to help one of the most recognized names in identity intelligence meet users where the world is heading.”

About Trinsic

Trinsic is the first and most expansive identity acceptance network, built for a world moving from photos of plastic IDs to digital identity. Through a single API, Trinsic lets businesses verify identity up to 10x faster across more than 60 countries and territories by accepting mobile driver's licenses, European eIDs (eIDAS/EUDI), bank IDs, reusable IDs, and government digital ID wallets. It draws on more than 40 integrated ID providers and a network of nearly two billion pre-verified users.

Founded in 2019, Trinsic offers the complete digital ID operating system, handling the integrations, certifications, compliance, and market intelligence required to accept trusted digital IDs across borders. Security and privacy are foundational: Trinsic is built with zero-access encryption and certifies to standards including SOC 2 Type II and GDPR.
