Ant International Launches Open-Sourced Agentic Mobile Protocol to Drive AI Commerce

  • Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP) is the world’s first agentic payment framework designed for mobile interfaces, including digital wallets, super apps, and wearable devices.
  • Fully open-sourced, the protocol enables LLMs, platforms and merchants’ seamless agentic connection to 4.4 billion digital wallet users worldwide through simple and secure integration.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – Ant International is introducing the Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP) for the agentic commerce industry to enable secure, AIOps-native agentic payment connection to mobile services including digital wallets, banking apps, super apps, and mobile portals from phones to wearable devices.

Ant International launches Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP), the world’s first agentic payment framework designed for mobile interfaces, including digital wallets, super apps, and wearable devices.

“We are deeply grateful for partners, acquirers and developers who contributed to this project. An agentic protocol for mobile commerce that ensures superior efficiency and security results will be key for businesses large and small expanding into the world’s fastest growing markets. We look forward to expanding our multi-layered partnerships to enable real-world successes of AI commerce,” said Jiang-Ming Yang, Chief Innovation Officer, Ant International.

Wallets and mobile payment key driver for agentic commerce

The global agentic commerce market could reach around USD 28 billion by 2030 with a 46% CAGR as the industry fast-forwards from pilot AI agent programs to full-scale autonomous transaction systems[1]. The number of global digital wallet users reached 4.4 billion in 2025, and is expected to exceed 6 billion – over 75% of the global population – by 2030[2].

While the new payment rails are positioned to become a primary interface for AI commerce, current AI payments protocols are designed largely for card rails. Merchants and digital wallets need to be able to offer smooth payment experience, authenticate trusted agents and verify credentials without disruption, as well as seamlessly handle post-checkout settlement and transaction management tasks in a mobile- and AI-native environment.

With the Agentic Mobile Protocol, merchants – LLMs, AI platforms, merchants with self-developed agents, and agent builders – and digital wallets can embed agentic payment functionality directly into their workflows, eliminating the need for system overhauls.

Ant International has open-sourced the AMP to help establish a universal, auditable standard to ensure that AI agents can transact securely and seamlessly across any global platform.

The AMP framework features:

  • A superior agentic checkout experience through:
    • Faster agent integration: reducing the number of steps required to link a payment agent to a digital wallet by 50% compared to traditional card-binding methods.
    • Money-back guarantee: every agent-initiated transaction is backed by a money-back guarantee mechanism for payment partners in cases of account takeovers.
    • Cross-device compatibility: payment agents can work on mobile interfaces across smartphones, smartwatches, AR glasses and in-car systems, a capability absent in card-based systems.
  • A more efficient and secure trust architecture for agent delegation to ensure secure and precise delegation of payment authority to AI agents — whether it is ordering coffee, booking a ride, or planning a trip – with full visibility and the ability to revoke or modify tasks at any time.
  • A high-frequency agent-to-agent (A2A) settlement mechanism enables automated, ultra-small transactions between AI agents. It’s capable of handling nano-transactions as small as $0.000001 between agents with real-time accounting and clearing. A2A settlement is crucial to agentic economy, which requires the capacity to process high-frequency, sub-cent agent transactions that traditional payment rails cannot support.
  • A full-spectrum Know Your Agent (KYA) framework establishes an agent’s digital identity and certifies its authorised capabilities. The proprietary Agent Trust Rating mechanism offers an additional layer of protection, a dynamic risk-management tool that determines whether an agent is trustworthy and controls the level of autonomy.

A 40 member-strong wallet ecosystem in cross-sector coordination

Ant International is working with wallet partners of Alipay+, the company’s global wallet gateway, to implement the AMP. Alipay+ now connects over 40 digital wallet partners, covering 1.8 billion user accounts and 150 million merchants globally.

Building on this payment partnership network that spans wallets, acquirers, super apps and cards, Ant International is among the first partners of Mastercard and Visa to pilot card-based transaction capabilities for AI agents, while collaborating with Google on its protocols for agentic commerce and payments.

第二屆「流行紋化」- 擁抱中華文化之美展覽於香港時尚家品及家紡展 (Home InStyle)與香港時裝節(Fashion InStyle)2026登場

新生代設計師重塑中華紋樣 打造跨越平面與立體、實體與數碼的超現實花園

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年4月28日 – 繼三月於中環置地廣場圓滿展出後,第二屆「流行紋化」擁抱中華文化之美展覽將於 2026 4 27 日至 30 移師香港會議展覽中心,於香港時尚家品及家紡展(Home InStyle)與香港時裝節(Fashion InStyle)2026展出。

MOTIFX at HKCEC

香港時尚家品及家紡展與香港時裝節雲集多個出色工藝與創意的國際品牌,為設計及時尚生活業界搭建交流橋樑,激發創意。

由職業訓練局(VTC)轄下香港知專設計學院(HKDI)主辦、文創產業發展處(CCIDA)資助,第二屆「流行紋化」— 擁抱中華文化之美展覽,邀請新生代設計師將中國傳統紋樣重新演繹,融入當代生活。以「從文化到自然植物圖案的超現實花園」為主題,匯聚了多位設計師的獨特視角,由漢字部首「草花頭」(艹/艸)為核心,延伸出各種為不同場景而創作,跨越平面與立體、實體與數碼的作品。

展覽由梁展邦(Michael LEUNG)策展,除了邀請30位來自不同範疇的本地設計學生與年輕設計師共同參與創作,亦匯聚了多個本地及國際參展單位,參展設計師包括郭哲岸(Chulan KWAK)、麥芷筠(Cynthia MAK)、Made by Sandwich、楊國麟(Karmuel YOUNG)與吳亮賢(Tomy NG)、孔凡亮(Moon.noon)、STICKYLINE及馮思敏(Leona FUNG)。展覽中有超過 100 種由本地設計師創作的圖案,皆以漢字部首草花頭(艹/艸)為靈感,如同在一片圖案的田野中綻放,皆源於同一個古老而永生的起點——「艹/艸」。

藝術家研討會:「文化融合 × 生活設計:『流行紋化』的超現實美學」
4
30 | 上午11時至下午12

策展人梁展邦(Michael LEUNG)將聯同藝術家馮思敏(Leona FUNG)及孔凡亮(Moon.noon),於430日舉行以「文化融合 × 生活設計:『流行紋化』的超現實美學」為題的藝術家研討會,由「流行紋化」項目創意總監張西美主持。三位將分享如何將傳統中國元素融入當代生活設計,並透過在不同場地展出過的「流行紋化」作品,探討香港創意生活中東西方自然交融的過程,揭示文化交匯所誕生的超現實之美。

焦點展品:從書法線條到時間花園

郭哲岸(Chulan KWAK)的「草書結構」系列,大膽地將二維的書法藝術轉化為三維實體。作品靈感汲取自草書自由流動的筆觸,與「艹/艸」部在小篆體中的字形結構。設計師巧妙地保留了「艹/艸」與「木」在形態上的區別,將作品設計成對坐的低矮椅具,與縱向生長的樹木作出區分,在空間中構築書法揮毫時的動感與張力。

麥芷筠(Cynthia MAK)則以漢字「茶」為起點,聯想「人生如茶,先苦後甘」的意境,思考生命在晦暗與明亮間的流轉,創作出燈具作品「茶燈」,作品以層疊的立體幾何圖形構成,靈感取自傳統中式燈籠,透過鮮明的色彩與抽象幾何語彙,將傳統轉化為當代視覺藝術。作品中隱藏的漢字字符,彷彿提醒觀者:在苦澀的一天過後,家中總有一盞溫暖的光靜候歸人。

Made by Sandwich 創作的「時間的花園」,深入探討了「艹/艸」部首與時間的哲學關係。設計師認為許多從「艹/艸」衍生出的漢字(如茂、蘇、萎、荒)並非描述固定形態,而是描繪植物隨時間流逝的狀態。作品打破了線性的時間觀念,將生長、衰退與消失等不同階段的瞬間,並置於同一畫面上,構建出一座由「時間切片」組成的花園,呈現萬物共存的多重狀態。

受草花頭符號(艹/艸)啟發,楊國麟(Karmuel YOUNG)與吳亮賢(Tomy NG)聯手設計多媒體作品《Tower》,以一件靜止卻充滿張力的裝置,凝結「成長的一刻」。作品融合藝術、時尚與傢俱熔鑄,運用當代原始素材,將生長詮釋為萌發、層疊與轉化的過程。

Karmuel 以「至上主義」與「構成主義」的精髓構建基座。剛性的幾何形態奠定穩固基礎,中性配色突顯材質紋理,營造精準、平衡而克制的視覺秩序。

Tomy 以發光的細胞結構向上延伸,同時作為光源與有機體。落地燈被構想為一個懸浮的「細胞」——半透明 3D 樹脂列印核心外覆一層可充氣與抽氣的乳膠膜層,形成如「胎盤」般的外膜。透過充氣與抽氣,乳膠在膨脹與壓縮之間轉換,使形體於暴露和包覆之間遊移。與基座的剛性對比,強調脆弱性、滲透性與時間性,將光呈現為一種由壓力與時間塑形的生命狀態。

沉浸式體驗:虛實交錯的超現實景觀

展覽亦透過多媒體作品與大型裝置,引領觀眾進入感官的深層體驗。

孔凡亮(Moon.noon)打造的「蔓生萬象」,為展覽帶來一場結合動態視覺與音樂的感官沉浸式體驗。作品靈感源自代表植物的「草花頭」,透過抽象化的植物筆劃創造出流動的圖案,反映二十四節氣與本地花卉的生命循環。視覺與聽覺的完美融合,讓觀眾穿越真實與數碼的界限,從春之綻放到冬之蘊藏,親歷四季流轉與自然生機。

STICKYLINE 的大型裝置「生長中的幾何變體」,則對虛擬與現實的邊界提出詰問。繁盛的幾何叢林僅由兩種簡單的紙藝模組無限堆疊而成,模組上的圖案既像樹葉脈絡,又似數碼條碼。作品隱喻在我們讓真實自然消逝的同時,卻透過社交媒體中的點讚與分享,孕育出一座失控蔓生的虛擬叢林,引領觀眾走進這片人造景觀,反思人與自然日漸模糊的共生關係。

傳統工藝的當代轉化

此外,展覽亦特別展出藝術家馮思敏(Leona FUNG)的作品。其品牌 ByLeona 的精品瓷器系列,融合了中國傳統花卉的吉祥寓意與現代幾何美學。馮思敏突破了陶瓷僅為日用器皿的框架,更巧妙地將挑選出來的「流行紋化」大使紋樣融入地燈、鏡面、燭台等不同載體,重新詮釋出一套獨特而統一的視覺語彙。秉持「圖必有意,意必吉祥」的核心理念,她將文化符號自然地融入當代生活空間,展現了傳統工藝與現代設計對話的無限可能。

今個四月,走進漢字深藏的象徵世界,沉浸在此奇幻大自然的萬千姿態。

Bridging the Gap Between National Service and Higher Education as SIM Supports Students Returning to Academic Life

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – Each year, thousands of Singaporean men complete their National Service (NS) and transition into higher education, typically after a gap of up to two years from formal academic study. The transition back to academic life presents adjustment challenges. After two years in a highly structured and regimented environment, many returning students must readjust to self-directed learning, academic rigour, and independent time management.

A research paper done by higher education academia indicates transition, particularly after a break from formal education, can influence students’ academic performance, particularly as they rebuild study habits and self-directed learning.

A National Transition with Growing Relevance

As Singapore continues to emphasise lifelong learning and workforce readiness, the NS-to-university transition is increasingly viewed as a critical phase in the education journey. National policies allow some flexibility, such as disruption schemes that enable eligible servicemen to begin university alongside their academic cohort. However, most students still enter university after completing NS, requiring them to re-engage with academic learning after a prolonged hiatus. This has prompted educators to call for stronger institutional support to help students bridge the gap effectively.

Supporting NS Returnees: SIM’s Student-Centric Approach

Recognising the challenges faced by students transitioning from National Service back into academic life, the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) provides a range of structured academic and student support services to facilitate reintegration. Through refresher workshop and learning support initiatives, students are introduced to university expectations, including academic writing, study strategies, and independent learning skills.

The SIM Student Learning Centre provides academic support and enriching learning experiences for all students. It is staffed by a dedicated team of senior students with strong proficiency in academic writing, who regularly conduct workshops on study skills and university life, sharing practical insights with their juniors. In addition, the Peer‑Assisted Learning (PAL) Programme, established in 2013, continues to run today. Under this programme, high‑performing students are trained as subject leaders to facilitate group learning sessions, supporting collaborative learning and helping participants improve their academic performance.

In addition, SIM provides holistic student support through its Student Wellness Centre and Student Care services, which offer counselling, stress management programmes, and peer support initiatives to help students adjust to academic and personal challenges. These services are designed to support students in managing the transition to university life and maintaining overall well-being.

Complementing its academic and personal support structures, SIM promotes a vibrant campus culture through student communities and peer networks that strengthen social integration and contribute to student resilience and success. The institution further supports employability by providing facilities and career-related resources that help students build connections and prepare for the workforce.

Together, these initiatives form a comprehensive support ecosystem that helps students returning from NS rebuild academic confidence, adapt to self-directed learning, and progress successfully in their higher education journey.

Preparing Students for Academic and Career Readiness

The transition from NS to university involves not only academic adjustment but also broader behavioural and social adaptation. By combining structured support, flexible learning pathways and applied education, SIM aims to support students in rebuilding academic confidence and sustaining long-term learning success. As Singapore continues to strengthen its education to employment pathways, supporting students through key transition phases such as NS to higher education will remain an important focus for institutions and policymakers alike.

Với công suất khoảng 2,7 triệu tấn polyme cơ bản mỗi năm, AGCC dự kiến sẽ trở thành cơ sở sản xuất polyme hiệu quả nhất tại Nga, đồng thời thuộc nhóm tổ hợp sản xuất polyme lớn nhất toàn cầu. Tổ hợp này dự kiến sẽ bắt đầu sản xuất polyethylene vào năm 2026 và sẽ sản xuất polypropylene vào năm 2027. Việc đưa khu phức hợp AGCC vào hoạt động sẽ tạo điều kiện để SIBUR mở rộng đáng kể sự hiện diện tại các thị trường trọng điểm ở Nam Á và Đông Nam Á.

“Các thị trường mới nổi tại châu Á đang ghi nhận nhu cầu polyme tăng trưởng mạnh, chủ yếu nhờ động lực từ các ngành bao bì, y tế và vệ sinh, cùng với làn sóng đầu tư quy mô lớn vào lĩnh vực hạ tầng và xây dựng.” Phần lớn nhu cầu trong khu vực này hiện được đáp ứng bằng nguồn nhập khẩu. Phát biểu tại Hội nghị ChinaPlas của SIBUR dành cho khách hàng Nam Á và Đông Nam Á tổ chức tại Thượng Hải, bà Natalia Burlina, Trưởng phòng Thương mại hóa Dự án mới của SIBUR, cho biết: “Việc đưa khu phức hợp AGCC vào vận hành sẽ giúp SIBUR tăng gấp năm lần nguồn cung cho các thị trường Nam Á và Đông Nam Á vào năm 2030 so với mức hiện nay.”

“Trong những năm gần đây, chúng tôi đã củng cố vị thế tại các thị trường Nam Á và Đông Nam Á. Chúng tôi tiếp tục mở rộng hoạt động, đồng thời nâng cao chất lượng dịch vụ khách hàng thông qua mạng lưới bán hàng và hỗ trợ kỹ thuật tại địa phương.”

Nhiều phương án vận chuyển polyme từ khu phức hợp AGCC tới thị trường châu Á đã thảo luận tại hội nghị, bao gồm trung chuyển qua các cảng của Trung Quốc và vận chuyển trực tiếp từ các cảng biển của Nga tới các cảng đích.

Khu phức hợp AGCC cung cấp danh mục gồm hơn 20 dòng sản phẩm được thị trường ưa chuộng, như polyetylen mật độ thấp tuyến tính (LLDPE) dùng cho màng bao bì; polyetylen mật độ cao (HDPE) phục vụ cho lĩnh vực ép thổi, ép phun, sản xuất màng, sợi đơn (monofilament) và ống chịu áp suất; polypropylen (PP) dạng sợi dùng cho sản xuất sợi dệt và vật liệu không dệt và màng polypropylen định hướng hai chiều (BOPP) phục vụ các ứng dụng đóng gói. Bên cạnh đó, với nền tảng nghiên cứu và phát triển (R&D) vững chắc cùng các hoạt động đổi mới sáng tạo, SIBUR sẵn sàng phát triển các giải pháp thiết kế riêng nhằm đáp ứng nhu cầu của khách hàng.

Với nguồn cung các giải pháp polyme ổn định và đáng tin cậy từ khu phức hợp AGCC, SIBUR sẽ giúp mang lại giá trị gia tăng cho khách hàng tại các thị trường châu Á.

Sanya Hosts 6th Asian Beach Games with Focus on High-quality Services

SANYA, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 April 2026 – The 6th Asian Beach Games officially opened on Tuesday evening in Sanya, south China’s Hainan Province. An opening ceremony titled “A Sky-Ocean Meeting” unfolded against a natural backdrop of ocean and sand, welcoming athletes from 45 countries and regions across Asia.

The 6th Asian Beach Games is being held from April 22 to 30 in Sanya, a coastal city in south China's Hainan Province.
The 6th Asian Beach Games is being held from April 22 to 30 in Sanya, a coastal city in south China’s Hainan Province.

Over recent months, the host city has established a comprehensive, high-standard service system, now fully operational, to support what organizers describe as a “splendid, exceptional and outstanding” event.

The success of the Games, organizers say, begins with a smooth and welcoming arrival experience. Benefiting from policies under the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP), entry procedures have been streamlined.

Jože Zidar, a veteran Slovenian sports journalist who visited earlier this year, said he experienced “one of the most efficient border clearances” he had encountered. Such feedback has since been echoed by many participants.

High service standards extend throughout the event. The Games adopt a coastal venue layout described as a “pearls-on-a-string” coastal layout, integrating multiple sites and combining beach sports with the surrounding natural environment to create a “sports and tourism” experience.

All venues have been built or upgraded in line with green standards and are now operational. In terms of logistics, 22 designated hotels, more than 1,000 new energy vehicles, and around 4,700 volunteers have been deployed. The Main Media Center is providing one-stop services for over 1,000 registered journalists from China and abroad.

Given the nature of beach and marine events, Sanya has also established a citywide emergency medical system featuring a “30-minute response network.” A total of 71 on-site medical stations, supported by additional medical posts, 285 medical staff and 46 ambulances, form a comprehensive response system covering on-site treatment, patient transfer and specialized care.

The opening ceremony itself broke with the traditional stadium format, instead integrating performance elements into the natural beach setting of sand, sunshine and palm trees.

Artistic segments combined local Hainan culture, the vision of the Hainan FTP, and the spirit of sport.

The Games mascot “Ya Ya”, the Eld’s deer, appeared throughout the ceremony as a cultural symbol linking the city’s past and future.

Environmentally friendly technologies and virtual imaging were also incorporated to create a visual experience blending digital and real-world elements. Sanya has positioned the Games as a catalyst for urban development under the concept of “promoting construction and improving quality through sports.”

Preparations have contributed to infrastructure upgrades and environmental improvements.

At the same time, a “sports, tourism and consumption” model has been introduced.

More than 200 licensed products have been launched, while promotional campaigns linking tourism resources across the island are underway.

Supporting events, including an international diving festival and cultural exhibitions of intangible heritage, have also been organized to enhance the experience for visitors and participants.

From preparation to opening, Sanya aims to deliver on its commitment to the Asian sporting community through comprehensive services and an open, dynamic city environment.

The Games are expected to serve as a platform to promote unity, friendship and development across Asia.
