This recognition cements more than a decade of collaboration between Temus and OutSystems. As OutSystems’ longest-serving services partner in Southeast Asia, it also affirms the strong track record of Temus’ low-code practice in delivering complex, enterprise-grade web and mobile applications with speed and efficiency across both public and private sectors.

Low-code development platforms such as OutSystems have seen growth in popularity and impact in recent years. These platforms enable businesses to build robust digital applications with significantly reduced coding effort, speeding time-to-market and cutting operational costs. The demand for such solutions is soaring; IDC predicts[1] that by 2025, more than 60% of enterprises globally will adopt low-code technologies, with Asia-Pacific leading much of this growth. Meanwhile, research[2] shows that the global low-code development platform market size is worth around USD 10.46 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach around USD 82.37 billion by 2034. In Singapore alone, digitalisation has surged under the government’s Smart Nation 2.0 initiative, catalysing fresh demand for cost-effective and rapid software deployment methods.

“We are proud to be named as OutSystems Premier Partner. It is a significant milestone that recognises our deep expertise and shared vision for accelerating digital transformation through the use of low-code,” said Daniel Lim, Managing Director, Cloud, Applications and Platform, Temus. “It also represents our strong commitment to combining the power of low-code with Temus’ broader capabilities in cloud, data, and AI. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with OutSystems to drive innovation and deliver even greater value to our customers.”

Accelerating Digital Transformation at Scale
Temus’ track record in harnessing OutSystems’ AI-powered low-code platform to deliver enterprise-grade solutions to customers in various business domains has been noteworthy:

  • In the telecommunications sector, the firm has deployed customer-facing mobile applications for a leading Singapore telco, enabling users to purchase data roaming, manage subscriptions and tap into self-service functions. The team successfully rolled out a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) offering built on the OutSystems platform for consumers in Singapore within a short span of six months.
  • In education, Temus has built digital solutions for academic institutions, introducing streamlined apps that consolidate attendance tracking, schedule management and campus services which has created new digital experiences across their staff and students.
  • Temus has also helped public-sector agencies implement process automation and compliance management tools, improving operational efficiency. In one notable deployment, a permit and driver management system for a major airport operator reportedly cut manual documentation by half, freeing time for higher-value activities and minimising compliance errors.

Growing the Local Tech Talent Pool
Reflecting Singapore’s broader push to develop its digital technology workforce, Temus is also constantly strengthening its OutSystems practice through talent development.

Launched in 2022, the firm’s flagship career conversion programme, Step IT Up Singapore (SIU), has already placed 59 graduates in full-time technology roles, of whom, 17 individuals became low-code application developers. This move reinforces a national effort in bridging tech skills gaps, with Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) scaling efforts[3] in pre-employment training and mid-career upskilling programmes to expand and level up Singapore’s pool of tech talent.

Building on the success of Temus’ past three SIU cohorts, the firm plans to hire, train and place more OutSystems developers in 2025. These efforts reinforce not just the firm’s commitment to deliver quality solutions to the customers, but also a dedication to contributing to the tech community in Singapore.

Capitalising on AI and Emerging Technologies
The momentum behind low-code is further bolstered by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, data analytics and cloud infrastructure—areas where Temus and OutSystems bring strong expertise. With OutSystems’ AI-driven tools AI Agent Builder and Mentor, businesses can build robust, scalable solutions more efficiently with intelligent suggestions and AI-powered insights that enhances productivity and ensures code quality.

“We congratulate Temus on becoming the first Premier Partner in Singapore. This achievement underscores our shared commitment to accelerating digital transformation and equipping businesses with the agility to thrive in an evolving landscape,” said Mark Weaser, APAC Vice President, OutSystems. “Temus has built an impressive track record in delivering impactful solutions through the years with OutSystems. With AI and other emerging technologies progressing swiftly, we see even greater opportunities to deepen our collaboration.”

With the region’s appetite for digital solutions poised to grow, Temus’ Premier Partner status and robust expertise in OutSystems technology place it at the vanguard of Singapore’s AI-powered low-code revolution.

XIXILI Reimagines Plus-Size Lingerie in Malaysia

Published

on

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 December 2025 – XIXILI is rewriting the rules of lingerie shopping with its Plus Size Collection, moving beyond the typical S, M, L, XL approach that leaves so many women without options. The brand’s extensive range proves that well-fitted, beautiful lingerie shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for a select few.

When One Size Definitely Doesn’t Fit All

XIXILI’s Plus Size Collection flips the narrative that women need to settle for less-than-ideal sizes.

“For too many women, bra shopping has meant settling for sizes that almost fit or styles that prioritise function over fashion,” says XIXILI spokesperson Grace Tan. “Inclusivity is about recognising that every woman deserves access to beautiful, sexy, well-fitted lingerie. That shouldn’t be a problem they have to solve alone.”

To address the challenges of online fitting, XIXILI combines a detailed bra size chart with its pioneering ‘Try-On in 3D’ avatar tool. The feature allows women to generate a personalised digital twin based on specific measurements, enabling them to visualise the fit before purchasing.

Support Without Sacrifice: Plus Size Done Right

The Rufina Full Coverage Full Cup Bra sits at the heart of XIXILI’s Plus Size collection, designed for women who have been told they have to choose between support and style. The Rufina bra offers full coverage support with a contemporary silhouette that works under everything from work blouses to festive party dresses. Engineered specifically for fuller figures, it celebrates natural curves instead of trying to hide or minimise them. It’s the kind of foundation piece that lets you focus on your day, not your discomfort.

“We want every woman to feel supported, comfortable, and beautiful in whatever she’s wearing,” says Grace Tan. “Whether it’s for work, family gatherings, or special occasions, the right fit makes all the difference to daily comfort and confidence.”

Empowering Women With Knowledge, Not Just Options

XIXILI recognises that offering more sizes is only half the equation. Many women have spent years navigating limited options without proper guidance on finding their actual measurements.

The brand addresses this through interactive bra size charts, how-to-measure videos, and one-on-one personalised fittings at boutiques nationwide. By equipping women with the tools and knowledge to identify their true size, XIXILI transforms what can be a frustrating shopping experience into a more confident and informed process.

As Christmas shopping gets underway, the Plus Size Collection offers both a thoughtful gift for loved ones and an opportunity for self-care during the busy holiday season.

Vinfuture 2025 Honors Four Groundbreaking Scientific Achievements Under The Theme “Rising And Thriving”

Published

on

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 December 2025 – The VinFuture Foundation officially announces the laureates of the VinFuture Prizes 2025. Four outstanding scientific and technological breakthroughs have been honored, reflecting this year’s theme “Rising and Thriving”, and highlighting the role of cross-border scientific collaboration in addressing global challenges in health, environment, and human livelihood.

The Chairman of the National Assembly of Vietnam, Mr. Tran Thanh Man, presents the VinFuture 2025 Grand Prize, worth USD 3 million, to the laureate scientists.

The 2025 VinFuture Prize Award Ceremony was broadcast live on VTV1, the national television channel of Vietnam. The event was attended by Mr. Tran Thanh Man, Politburo member and Chairman of the National Assembly, along with leaders of central ministries and agencies, representatives of embassies and international organisations, and distinguished scientists from around the world.

The VinFuture Prize 2025 received 1,705 nominations from scientists, research institutions, and technology enterprises worldwide, representing an almost threefold increase relative to the inaugural year. These submissions highlight impactful cross-border research efforts focused on protecting public health, advancing next-generation intelligent materials, addressing climate change, accelerating novel energy solutions, and strengthening global food security frameworks.

The 2025 VinFuture Grand Prize valued at US$3 million is awarded to Dr. Douglas R. Lowy, Dr. John T. Schiller, Dr. Aimée R. Kreimer and Prof. Maura L. Gillison (USA) for discoveries and development of HPV vaccines for prevention of tumors caused by human papillomaviruses.

Foundational studies on HPV capsid proteins by Drs. Douglas Lowy and John Schiller led to the development of highly effective HPV vaccines, preventing millions of cervical cancer cases, especially in developing countries. Furthermore, the single-dose vaccination regimen developed by Dr. Aimée Kreimer – now recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) – has significantly expanded vaccine access for populations worldwide.

In parallel, laboratory and epidemiological studies by Prof. Maura Gillison and Dr. Aimée Kreimer established the link between HPV and head-and-neck cancers, which represent an emerging cancer threat expected to be mitigated by HPV vaccination efforts. The achievements of Dr. Douglas Lowy, Dr. John Schiller, Dr. Aimée Kreimer, and Prof. Maura Gillison have already saved millions of lives and will keep lowering the global cancer burden for decades to come.

In addition to the Grand Prize, the 2025 VinFuture Prizes will also present three Special Prizes, each valued at US$500,000, recognizing Innovators from Developing Countries, Women Innovators, and Innovators with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields.

The 2025 VinFuture Special Prize for Innovators from Developing Countries​ is awarded to Prof. María Esperanza Martínez-Romero (Mexico) for advances in microbial ecology and symbiotic nitrogen fixation in the tropics. Prof. Martínez-Romero has discovered and described numerous new Rhizobium species, significantly expanding scientific understanding of microbial taxonomy and plant-microbe interactions in agriculture. Her work has opened new directions in the study of bacterial-plant symbiosis, with profound implications for sustainable agriculture in resource-limited settings.

The 2025 VinFuture Special Prize for Women Innovators is awarded to Prof. Mary-Claire King (USA) for identification of the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1, laying the foundation for genetic testing, screening programs, and personalized treatment. Her landmark identification of the BRCA1 locus on chromosome 17q21 in 1990, before the human genome was sequenced, is considered a historic milestone, demonstrating the genetic basis of cancer risk and transforming prevention and treatment strategies worldwide.

The 2025 VinFuture Special Prize for Innovators with Outstanding Achievements in Emerging Fields has honored Prof. Venkatesan Sundaresan (USA), Prof. Raphaël Mercier (Germany), Dr. Emmanuel Guiderdoni (France), Dr. Imtiyaz Khanday (USA) and Dr. Delphine Mieulet (France) for innovations in the development of clonal hybrid crops. Hybrid seed production for rice, the staple food for more than half of humankind, is a laborious and costly procedure resulting in a high seed cost. The team’s work has enabled rice plants to produce seeds that retain all the superior traits of the parent plant through self-pollination, grounded in new insights into developmental biology and genetics. This groundbreaking research improves yields, reduces seed production costs, and advances sustainable global food security.

Sharing his reflections on this year’s honored works, Prof. Sir. Richard Friend, Chair of the VinFuture Prize Council, stated: “The 2025 VinFuture Prize Laureates have made big advances in science that have brought direct benefits to human health and to global sustainable food crop production. From new vaccines and new understanding of genetic susceptibility to disease to new approaches for plant breeding and new protocols for healthy crop growth, these achievements exemplify the power of science driven by compassion and cross-border collaboration – showing that when knowledge serves humanity, it not only deepens our understanding of the world but also strengthens and sustains the very foundations of life itself.

After five consecutive and widely acclaimed award cycles, the VinFuture Prize has been securing recognition among the world’s most prestigious science and technology awards, receiving 6,132 nominations from nearly 110 countries and territories across five continents, and honoring 48 outstanding laureates. The awarded innovations—spanning clean energy, artificial intelligence, biomedical technologies, and transformative advances in agriculture—are elevating quality of life, strengthening human well-being, and shaping strategic pathways for the future of humanity.

The VinFuture Prize Ceremony and VinFuture Sci-Tech Week have evolved into an established global platform for scientific exchange, bringing together scientists, policymakers, and business leaders to advance collaborations toward a sustainable, humane, and prosperous future.

Notably, after five award seasons driven by persistent efforts to connect global scientific excellence with the Vietnamese research community, the VinFuture Foundation and the VinFuture Prize have not only fostered new opportunities and momentum for national science, but have also strengthened Vietnam’s standing as a trusted destination for the world’s scientific community—where innovation is widely shared and amplified for the collective prosperity of humankind.

Launch of the 2026 VinFuture Prize Award Season: The VinFuture Prize 2026 will officially open its nomination portal from 2:00 PM on January 9, 2026, to 2:00 PM on April 17, 2026 (Hanoi time, GMT+7). Nominating partners are invited to submit candidate information through the online nomination portal at: https://vinfutureprize.org/vinfuture-prize-nomination/.
