KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GIBO Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIBO), Asia’s leading innovation-driven AI ecosystem, today outlined its long-term vision for GIBO.ai as a foundational intelligence layer designed to connect, coordinate, and evolve future mobility systems across air, ground, and digital infrastructure.

Rather than viewing mobility as a collection of independent vehicles, GIBO envisions a future where intelligence flows continuously across systems—where EV motorbikes, aerial platforms, logistics networks, and urban infrastructure operate as interconnected intelligence nodes within a single computational fabric.

From Vehicles to Intelligence Networks

As mobility platforms become increasingly electrified and connected, the defining challenge of the next decade will not be hardware capability, but how intelligence is shared, learned, and orchestrated across systems.

GIBO.ai is being architected to function as the computational nervous system of future mobility—enabling vehicles and infrastructure to sense their environment, exchange intelligence, and respond collectively to changing conditions. In this model, mobility assets no longer act in isolation; instead, they become participants in a living intelligence network that continuously adapts and improves.

This shift marks a fundamental transition from machine-centric mobility to system-level intelligence, where awareness, prediction, and coordination are embedded at the core of how movement is managed.

Intelligence That Moves Across Domains

The GIBO.ai Calculation Engine is designed to operate horizontally across multiple mobility domains, allowing intelligence developed in one context to inform others. Insights derived from ground mobility can enhance aerial operations; environmental data collected from the air can improve urban flow on the ground.

By enabling this cross-domain intelligence exchange, GIBO.ai lays the groundwork for mobility ecosystems that are not only connected, but contextually aware—capable of understanding how individual movements contribute to broader system behavior.

Over time, this architecture supports increasingly sophisticated coordination between air and ground mobility, logistics flows, and urban infrastructure, without requiring each system to be rebuilt from scratch.

A Foundation for Scalable, Responsible Mobility Intelligence

GIBO’s vision emphasizes that intelligence must scale responsibly. As systems become more autonomous and interconnected, the ability to manage complexity, ensure transparency, and maintain system-wide coherence becomes critical.

By positioning GIBO.ai as a centralized intelligence layer—rather than a collection of isolated features—the Company aims to support long-term scalability while preserving adaptability. This approach allows mobility ecosystems to evolve incrementally, integrating new platforms, sensors, and technologies without disrupting the underlying intelligence architecture.

“Mobility’s future will be defined by how intelligence flows, not how fast vehicles move.”

“Vehicles will continue to evolve, but intelligence architectures are what ultimately define eras,” said Zelt Kueh, CEO of GIBO Holdings Ltd.

“With GIBO.ai, we are focused on building the nervous system of future mobility—one that allows intelligence to move seamlessly across air and ground, enabling systems to learn collectively and operate as a unified whole.”

No cheating,” BARTELS has built a strong reputation in Bangkok, Phuket and Ho Chi Minh City for its naturally fermented bread, artisanal sandwiches and Nordic-inspired café experience. Rooted in Scandinavian baking traditions, the brand is committed to honest ingredients, slow fermentation and craftsmanship.

The new location at Sonatus Building represents BARTELS’s continued expansion in Vietnam, guided by the ambition to bring healthy, high-quality and responsibly made food closer to urban communities. Located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s business district, the space is designed as a warm, minimalist setting that supports everyday dining and meaningful professional connections.

To celebrate the opening and welcome the new year, NordCham Vietnam hosted its Nordic KickOff New Year Networking on January 22, 2026, in collaboration with BARTELS at its newly opened Sonatus location, bringing together members and friends of the Nordic community while reinforcing shared values of collaboration, sustainability and trust.

Speaking at the Networking evening, the Ambassador of Denmark to Vietnam, H.E. Nicolai Prytz shared:

Nordic companies bring qualities that are highly valued in Vietnam today: A long-term approach, strong governance and responsible business practices, practical, high-quality solutions in sustainability and innovation. This evening also gives us a special moment to celebrate Nordic entrepreneurship in Vietnam. 

Representing BARTELS, Nicolai Bartels remarked:

The success of Bartels comes from sweating the details. From our bread to our coffee to the ambience in our cafés.

We believe that quality and consistency beats hype, and that is what has allowed Bartels to grow and become a genuine community hangout across Thailand and now Vietnam.

The evening marked not only the opening of a new BARTELS location, but also a confident start to another year of strong Nordic engagement and cooperation in Vietnam.

HYOGO, Japan, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Located in the central-western part of Hyogo Prefecture and approximately 90 minutes by car from Kyoto and Osaka, Shiso City (Hyogo Prefecture, Japan) is gaining attention as a new destination for nature-based tourism. Built around its extensive forests, deep-rooted fermentation culture, and a heritage forest railway revived by local residents, the city is emerging as a compelling place for sustainable travel. Tourism Media Service spoke with Shiso City Tourism Association about the new tourism resources originating from Shiso City.

Due in part to the difficulty of reading its name, Shiso City remains relatively little known even within Japan. However, this very sense of being “undiscovered” is increasingly attractive to domestic and international travelers seeking meaningful and sustainable tourism experiences. This release introduces the new tourism resources originating from Shiso City.

A “Forest Kingdom” Where Forests Cover 90% of the Town

Approximately 90 percent of Shiso City’s total land area is covered by forests. For generations, forestry has supported the local economy and daily life. From the Taisho era through the late Showa period (up to the 1960s), forest railways once ran through mountain valleys, playing a vital role in transporting timber.

Today, these forest resources are no longer viewed merely as scenic landscapes but have been reimagined as experiential tourism assets.

A Forest Railway Experience Revived by the Community

In the summer of 2023, a community-based organization restored a tourist forest railway at Forest Station Haga, using a diesel locomotive that had previously been employed in erosion control and forestry-related projects. The railway features approximately 678 meters of track and a station building, and it operates regularly on weekends.

This experience allows visitors to physically engage with the history of Shiso City’s forestry industry—to truly “ride through” the city’s past. The facility also includes hot spring baths and accommodation, while a nearby roadside station offers opportunities to purchase local specialty products.

Forest Therapy in the “Western Oirase Gorge”

Shiso City is also one of the first areas in Hyogo Prefecture to be certified as a Forest Therapy Base. Among its highlights is Akasai Gorge, which is often referred to as the “Western Oirase Gorge” due to its resemblance to the famous Oirase Stream in Aomori Prefecture.

Paths that once served as forest railway routes along the gorge have now been developed into therapy trails. Surrounded by waterfalls, clear streams, and towering trees, the area offers a tranquil and restorative environment. Visitors can also enjoy seasonal scenery throughout the city, including Fukuchi Gorge, praised by renowned Japanese author Seiko Tanabe, and the Onzui area, where remnants of former forest railways remain.

Fermentation Culture as the Birthplace of Japanese Sake

Shiso City also positions itself as a birthplace of Japanese sake. The Harima Fudoki, the oldest surviving regional chronicle in Japan, records that sake was brewed at Niwata Shrine, indicating that fermentation culture has been rooted in the area since ancient times.

In the Yamazaki district, a historic sake brewery street remains active today, with two breweries continuing production. Visitors can experience Japanese sake culture through brewery tours and tastings. One long-established brewery, founded in 1768, also operates a dining venue focused on fermented foods, presenting local cuisine and culture as an integrated experience.

A New Regional Tourism Model Created Through Forests, Fermentation, and Experience

Shiso City has developed model itineraries that combine forest therapy, gorge walks, heritage forest railway rides, and Japanese sake and fermentation-based cuisine. These itineraries offer flexible options ranging from day trips to overnight stays.

In 2025, Shiso City marks the 20th anniversary of its municipal establishment. As it does so, the city is strengthening its outreach to domestic and international travelers as a sustainable tourism destination centered on nature and culture.

Rather than mass tourism, Shiso City offers travel focused on meaning and experience. Quietly yet convincingly, it presents the essential appeal of Japan’s regional landscapes and traditions.

About Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Shiso City is located in the central-western part of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Approximately 90 percent of its land area is covered by forests. Historically, the city has developed in close connection with forestry and fermentation culture, and today it promotes sustainable tourism centered on forest therapy, heritage forest railway experiences, and local food culture.

Message from the Mayor

Shozo Fukumoto, Mayor of Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture

“Shiso City is a ‘Forest Kingdom,’ with forests covering nearly 90 percent of our land area.
We are sharing a form of tourism that connects this rich natural environment with the history of daily life shaped by forestry and fermentation culture, passing these values on to future generations.

Forest therapy, our heritage forest railway, and Japanese sake and fermented cuisine all originate from the unique climate and traditions of Shiso City.”

Edufrienz 99 is designed for schools, educators, and parents. The platform combines digital games, printable worksheets, and activities. This approach supports learning through screens and encourages hands-on engagement in classrooms and at home through printed materials. It also supports more purposeful screen use.

“There is a growing awareness that children need more than academic success to thrive in an increasingly complex world,” said Boon, General Manager of Edufrienz 99. “SEL has often been delivered through programs and in-person training, even in Western markets. EduFrienz introduces an easy-to-use SEL-centric digital library to support schools and families.”

Beyond its core platform, Edufrienz 99 is developing original children’s learning characters, including Spark Frienz and Lumi Frienz. These characters are learning companions to reinforce positive values through stories and guided activities. The company also works with partners on curriculum development and education-focused innovation.

Current initiatives include a co-creation with Dr Siti Mariam of Tink It on an executive functioning curriculum and an ongoing AR/VR project with a local polytechnic.

“Executive functioning skills help children manage their learning, emotions, and decisions,” said Dr Siti, Education Specialist and Co-developer of the curriculum. “Our collaboration with Edufrienz 99 focuses on translating research into practical learning experiences for children,” she added.

Edufrienz 99 is open to collaboration with education groups, distributors, NGOs, and organisations across Asia. Partnership opportunities include distribution tie-ups, content co-creation, and licensing initiatives to expand availability to practical and accessible character education globally.
