💼 80% of Employers to Adopt AI and IT

World Economic Forum illustrates that roughly 86% of employers believe AI and information processing technologies will be the primary drivers of business transformation by 2030. To support this transformation, companies have prioritized investment in AI-driven technologies for future growth.  “Advanced tech” startups are also growing as countries like Japan are integrating AI system-wide. Initiatives such as  Al Ready ASEAN initiative by the ASEAN Foundation have helped accelerate AI adoption in education.

🍃 120K More Heavy Duty EVs Sold in China

Sales of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in China reached approximately 235K in 2024, propelled by a rise in truck sales. This data indicates a significant market pivot from electrifying public buses towards commercial freight and logistics vehicles. The trend reflects a maturing EV sector branching into more demanding transport classes. This transition is directly accelerated by national policies, including purchase incentives for new energy vehicles and the planned implementation of tighter emission standards.

🏭 $50M Spent on Constructing for Quantum Computing

The UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre has allocated £55M to facility construction and £41M to accelerate programs. This investment in infrastructure underscores a foundational push towards building a robust quantum ecosystem, essential for innovation. Such government support fosters an environment where private sector developments, like Microsoft's recent development of the Majorana chip, can thrive and advance the technology. This funding is a key component of the UK's National Quantum Strategy, implemented through initiatives like the UKRI Technology Missions Fund.
