27 Jan 2025

HUAWEI maintains its position at the forefront of the evolution of audio technology with its latest lineup of audio accessories. With a clear vision to challenge the possibilities of sound quality and design, the leading global tech brand introduces the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4, HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 3, and the HUAWEI FreeClip.

HUAWEI’s new audio devices are designed to look as good as they sound, blending advanced sound technology with chic, fashion-forward aesthetics that are set to change the way users think about audio accessories. Whether users are on a call, enjoying their favorite podcast or playlist, even attending a virtual meeting, the new HUAWEI audio devices are set to elevate their listening experience with style and superior performance.

HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4: The Best TWS Earbuds with Hi-Res Sound Quality, Two-Way Silent Calls and Powerful Noise Cancellation

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 is the latest addition to the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro Series, a lineup of high-end wireless earbuds, showcasing HUAWEI’s expertise in crafting state-of-the art audio technology. This audio device is the first true wireless stereo (TWS) audio device under HUAWEI Sound, a brand of audio accessories boasting high-end technology and acoustic systems. Deemed the “Best TWS Earbuds with Hi-Res Sound, Two-Way Silent Calls, and Powerful Noise Cancellation,” the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 delivers a rich, lifelike audio experience powered by Dual-driver True Sound, a sound unit that works seamlessly with digital cross-over technology. These ensure precise and distortion-free sound, while the Dual Independent Sound Output System isolates frequencies for an immersive effect and the 11mm Quad-Magnet Dynamic Driver provides real-time audio precision.

With 2.3Mbps lossless audio transmission and HUAWEI’s L2HC 4.0 codec Bluetooth protocol supporting up to 24-bit/48kHz, users can enjoy exceptional, high-resolution sound quality. The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 uses an advanced AI noise reduction algorithm, cutting up to 100dBA of external noise for crystal-clear calls even in noisy environments. Its quad mic system, including a bone-conduction VPU and DNN, ensures crystal-clear call clarity by distinguishing voices from environmental sounds. Shape Memory Foam ear tips reduce sound leakage and enhance noise cancellation to create a superior and immersive listening experience for users.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 also introduces intelligent interaction with gestures for effortless usability. The Head-Motion Controls feature makes managing calls as easy as a nod. Users simply have to nod to accept calls or shake their heads to reject them. The Dual Device Connection feature allows smooth transitions between devices, like switching from a call on a laptop to music on a phone without having to manually re-connect the earbuds to each device. The Smart Wear Detection feature automatically pauses audio when one or both of the earbuds are removed and resumes once worn again, allowing the audio device to adapt intuitively to users’ activities.

Aside from its impressive and advanced audio technology, the new HUAWEI audio device bears the Spectrum Silver Strings design, inspired by the beauty of string instruments. Available in Obsidian Black and Snow White, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 is coated with six layers of protective lacquer for a glossy finish and marked with the iconic golden HUAWEI SOUND logo. The earbuds are cased in a ceramic DECO case that looks and feels like jade, crafted through a rigorous process and polished to perfection.

HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 3: The Best Branded-TWS below PHP2,000 with Stylish Leather-Like Design and up to 42 Hours Battery Life

Designed to meet the needs of modern, on-the-go users, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 3 combines premium features with convenience and reliability in a lightweight and ergonomic package. With a fast-charging and lengthy battery life of up to 9 hours on a single charge (42 hours with the charging case), these earbuds are the ideal all-day listening companion. A quick 10-minute charge delivers up to 3 hours of music playback, ensuring users are never without their favorite tunes.

HUAWEI’s entry-level TWS earbuds offer a seamless and lightweight audio experience for only under PHP 2,000. Each earbud weighs ultra-lightweight at just 3.8g, weighing less than an A4-sized paper, to ensure maximum comfort even during extended wear. The earbuds are built for effortless interactions. Users can easily double-tap to play or pause their music or use the dedicated pairing button to instantly connect the earbuds to their device. Users with a HUAWEI smartphone will benefit from an even smoother experience as pairing prompts appear as soon as the case is opened.

Practical and reliable, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 3 are IP54-rated for water and dust resistance, making them ideal for users with active lifestyles. Powered by Bluetooth 5.4, the audio device delivers robust and stable connections. It enhances users’ listening experience with punchy sound and crystal clear audio. Built for comfort and durability, the earbuds are designed to fit comfortably in nearly any ear. Available in beige and black, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 3 is also SGS Grade I Certified, highlighting its HUAWEI’s commitment to providing users with green, healthy, safe, and high-quality products. The earbuds are made with NCVM metallic coating and synthetic leather pattern to exude elegance and sophistication, true to its fashion-forward nature.

HUAWEI FreeClip: Never-Before Seen TWS Earbuds

The HUAWEI FreeClip makes listening look more stylish than ever before by blending innovative audio technology with fashion. Perfectly capturing a “smart jewelry” aesthetic in its Rose Gold color, the HUAWEI FreeClip has a chic C-Bridge design that is both stylish and functional to make it perfect for outdoor activities and on-the-go lifestyles. Weighing at just 5.6g per earbud, it gives a secure fit that is comfortable and stable, even during high-intensity workouts, while seamlessly complementing any style. Its innovative design does not block the ear canal, providing an open-ear listening experience that is safe and healthy. This makes it safe and ideal for users with an active lifestyle. Despite its compact, lightweight form, the HUAWEI FreeClip delivers big, immersive sound with new features such as Dynamic Bass Algorithm, Head Motion Controls, and Drop Reminders.

The earbuds are designed to meet the needs of any modern user with intuitive features such as Auto Left-Right Recognition. Much like the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4, the HUAWEI FreeClip supports Head Motion Controls to allow users to simply nod their heads to answer calls or shake to reject them. It also supports smart gestures controls, enabling users to double-tap to play or pause, or to accept and end calls. Users can triple tap to switch songs. With 8 hours of playback and up to 36 hours with the charging case, the HUAWEI FreeClip is built for long-lasting performance that will last the whole day. It also offers crystal-clear, hands-free calls with AI-powered technology and an inverse sound field that does not leak sound. This allows for sharp and clear communication even in bustling, busy settings.

“Nag-S.I.S.I. Ka Na Ba?”: JFINEX 5th Financial Management Conference

The Junior Financial Executives of Laguna State Polytechnic University-San Pablo City Campus (JFINEX LSPU-SPCC), under the College of Business Administration and Accountancy – Student Council, proudly announces its 5th annual Financial Management Conference. Guided by their esteemed Dean, Dr. Desiree L. Wagan, and organizational advisor, Mr. Dennis Gaudencio III R. Lorica, this milestone event will take place on January 31, 2025.

Themed “Nag-S.I.S.I. Ka Na Ba?: An In-depth Discussion About the Importance of SAVINGS, INVESTMENTS, SECURITY AND INSURANCE”, the conference promises to provide attendees with critical financial knowledge. By addressing these four financial pillars, the event aims to equip Financial Management students with essential skills for building a secure financial future. Participants will gain insights to enhance their financial literacy, enabling them to make informed decisions and cultivate a robust financial mindset.

Understanding the Four Pillars of Financial Management

In line with the event’s theme, let’s debunk some common misconceptions about savings, investments, security, and insurance:

SAVINGS

Many believe saving money restricts their spending freedom, especially young individuals eager to enjoy life. Others think saving is only for those earning large amounts, dismissing it as impractical for smaller incomes. However, savings are less about the amount and more about disciplined budgeting and sound financial management. With the right mindset, anyone can build a habit of saving and reap its long-term benefits.

INVESTMENTS

The term “investment” often intimidates people, especially those unfamiliar with its true meaning. A prevailing misconception is that investing is exclusive to the wealthy or industry experts. Fear of scams or loss also deters many from taking the first step. Others mistakenly think that successful investments guarantee the same results for everyone, leading to poor decisions based on hearsay rather than research. In reality, investment success requires careful planning, due diligence, and a willingness to learn from credible sources.

SECURITY AND INSURANCE

Security and insurance are often undervalued and perceived as unnecessary expenses unless one faces dire circumstances. Many associate insurance solely with death benefits or see it as a product for older individuals. The industry’s reputation is further tainted by misconceptions about insurance companies being mere networking schemes. However, insurance plays a critical role in protecting one’s assets, health, and future, ensuring peace of mind during life’s uncertainties.

Why Attend the Conference?

The “Nag-S.I.S.I. Ka Na Ba?” conference provides a unique platform for students to break free from these misconceptions and embrace financial literacy as a lifelong tool. Expert speakers will share practical strategies and real-world insights, empowering attendees to understand, apply, and maximize the value of savings, investments, security, and insurance.

Don’t miss this opportunity to fill the vault of your mind with knowledge that can shape your financial future. Together, let’s make 2025 the year we take charge of our financial lives.

LG unveils world’s first bendable 5K2K gaming monitor, winner of three awards at CES 2025

LG Electronics (LG) is reinforcing its leadership in premium OLED gaming monitors with the LG UltraGear™ GX9 series, unveiled at CES 2025 this January. The new lineup includes the 45GX990A — winner of three CES 2025 Innovation Awards, including the prestigious ‘Best of Innovation’ — and an all-in-one smart gaming monitor powered by LG webOS. These accolades underscore LG’s commitment to delivering advanced, high-quality gaming solutions. With the GX9 series, LG continues to demonstrate its leadership in cutting-edge technology and gaming monitor innovation.

To ensure maximum gaming immersion, all UltraGear GX9 series models feature curved display panels employing LG’s advanced WOLED technology. These screens offer high brightness, true blacks, stunning colors, and optimized curvature; a combination that brings games to life and draws users deeper into the exhilarating action of their favorite titles. Certified for low blue light emissions, the GX9 series provides a more comfortable experience, reducing eye strain during extended gaming sessions. In addition, LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) coating minimizes screen reflections and glare, making it easier for gamers to see everything that’s happening on screen, even in brighter rooms.

The 45GX990A and 45GX950A are 45-inch, 21:9 gaming monitors featuring ultra-high 5K2K resolution (5,120 x 2,160) – a first for OLED monitors.¹ Their 21:9 aspect ratio offers a more immersive gaming experience than standard 16:9 displays while maintaining better content compatibility than 32:9 monitors. With generous screen real estate, these monitors are a great choice not only for gaming but for various different uses.

Both products feature LG’s second-generation Dual-Mode, offering customizable aspect ratios (21:9 or 16:9) and picture sizes (39-, 34-, or 27-inches) with one-touch switching between preset screen resolution and refresh-rate combos. With eight configurations, users can personalize their gaming setups to suit their preferences or adapt to different game genres, including FPS, RPG, MOBA, and racing simulators.

The World’s First Bendable 5K2K Gaming Monitor with Dual-Mode

The LG UltraGear OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor (model 45GX990A) is the world’s first 5K2K-resolution bendable OLED display. The 45-inch monitor can smoothly transition from completely flat to a 900R curvature within seconds, offering users incredible flexibility and more control over their gaming experience. Its upgraded Dual-Mode feature allows users to switch effortlessly between resolution and refresh rate presets, and customize the aspect ratio and picture size. With an ultra-fast 0.03ms (GtG) response time, the 45GX990A ensures smooth gameplay and heightened immersion.

The World’s First 45-inch 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor with 800R Curvature and DisplayPort 2.1

Another standout model from the new GX9 lineup is the LG UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor (model 45GX950A). With its curved (800R), 21:9 format 5K2K-resolution self-lit 45-inch panel, this display delivers sharp, lifelike images with the stunning colors and exceptional contrast LG OLED products are known for. Its 4-side Virtually Borderless design and slim bezels help boost users’ sense of immersion while adding a sleek aesthetic to any setup. Boasting 125 pixels per-inch (PPI) and an RGWB subpixel layout, the monitor improves the readability of in-game text and makes productivity tasks, such as editing documents or website content, that much easier.

Like its bendable sibling, the 45GX950A features Dual-Mode functionality with eight customizable configurations and supports DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and USB-C with 90W power delivery. This ensures seamless compatibility with the latest graphics cards and features such as variable refresh rate (VRR) while enabling convenient device charging. Certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC^® and AMD FreeSync™ Premium Pro, the monitor has reduced screen tearing for a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.

Versatile Smart Gaming Monitor for Seamless Streaming and Immersive Gaming

The brand-new LG UltraGear 39GX90SA is designed to deliver stellar gaming and content-streaming experiences. Powered by webOS, it functions as a home entertainment hub, enabling users to access all their go-to streaming services without a PC or set-top box. It’s 39-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio curved (800R) OLED display produces brilliant, nuanced colors and deep, dark blacks, making it perfect for AAA games and HDR movies and series. Equipped with USB Type-C ports, it offers convenient connectivity, and incorporates LG’s ergonomic and space-saving L-shaped stand for a clutter-free desk setup.

“The UltraGear GX9 series sets a new standard for OLED gaming monitors, combining groundbreaking display technology with smart features that expand and enhance the user experience,” said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT Business Unit, LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “From the world’s first 5K2K OLED gaming monitors with second-generation Dual-Mode to smart gaming monitors with built-in webOS, the GX9 lineup pushes the boundaries to deliver maximum value and enjoyment for our customers.”

Kollab acquires Senti AI, strengthens AI presence in PH

Digital transformation advisor Kollab kicked off 2025 by acquiring Senti AI, the country’s pioneering artificial intelligence company. This marks a new chapter in Kollab’s decade-long legacy of bringing cloud-first solutions for clients all over Southeast Asia, as the brand vows to promote AI adoption in the Philippines.

According to Kollab CCO & head of business development Jonathan Ty, Senti AI’s decade of excellence and credibility in implementing efficient AI solutions perfectly fits Kollab’s vision for the industry. Senti AI is also the first Philippine company to earn the Google Cloud Machine Learning Specialization distinction, cementing its place as an AI industry leader in Southeast Asia.

Through the acquisition, Kollab will scale up its AI deployments and implement more cost-efficient AI solutions for its clients by integrating Senti AI’s products and services under the new “AI and Data Analytics” umbrella. The new solutions suite will include AI Strategy and Foundation, Document AI & Cloud Vision, Intelligent Agents, Data Analytics & Visualization, NLP Engines, and AI & Data Governance.

“We believe that artificial intelligence plays a critical role in driving innovation, competitiveness, and market growth for organizations across the region. Our acquisition of Senti AI will enhance our ability to help customers adopt and scale AI initiatives more securely, efficiently, and responsibly,” Ty adds.

Kollab also welcomes Senti AI co-founder & CEO Ralph Vincent Regalado to its Board of Directors, where he will act as Chief Scientist & Head of AI. Regalado expressed excitement about the new development and shares, “With this acquisition, we are taking a significant step forward in spreading the word about AI and its benefits to Philippine enterprises. We look forward to working closely with Kollab and reaching out to more clients with their help.”

A move to promote AI use in PH businesses

In recent years, Kollab noticed how some Filipino companies struggle to adopt AI into their business operations. Most companies attribute this to lack of internal confidence and expertise, concerns about AI’s ethical and social implications, difficulty integrating multiple vendors and partners, and perceived difficulty in recruiting and retaining top talent.

Kollab’s acquisition of Senti AI enables the company to implement AI initiatives that can address these challenges and support local businesses as they endeavor on their digital transformation journeys. Specifically, Kollab can provide intensive AI training to boost internal expertise, along with AI and data governance solutions. These solutions are set to benefit various industries such as financial services and fintech, travel, energy, food & beverage, transportation & logistics, healthcare, education, retail, business process outsourcing, telecommunications, and manufacturing, among others.

“By focusing on education, data security and privacy, and customized AI services, we aim to become a trusted partner for Filipino businesses navigating digital transformation. By teaming up with Senti AI, we can realize this vision and help more local firms embrace AI,” Ty added.

With the acquisition of Senti AI, Kollab underscores its commitment to constantly improving its cloud-first services for clients. For more information and updates, visit https://www.kollab.com/ and follow its LinkedIn page at https://www.linkedin.com/company/kollabph/.

Asialink, IFC reinforce MSME financing in PH

Asialink, IFC reinforce MSME financing in PH

Asialink Finance Corporation (AFC), one of the leading financing companies in the Philippines, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets and a member of the World Bank Group, have sealed a partnership involving a USD130 million investment, with Paulton & Company acting as Asialink’s financial advisor for this transaction.

This partnership will empower AFC, Global Dominion Financing Inc. (GDFI), and South Asialink Finance Corp. (SAFC) to expand their lending capacity for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), allocating at least 60% of the funds to support women-owned or women-led businesses. For 27 years, Asialink has been driving economic growth by supporting MSMEs as it recognizes its role in reducing poverty and creating more job opportunities for Filipinos.

“Our partnership with IFC marks a significant milestone in our mission to empower MSMEs and drive inclusive economic growth,” said Robert B. Jordan, Jr., founder and CEO of Asialink Finance Group of Companies. “This collaboration will not only expand our lending reach but also enable us to bring our financial solutions to more entrepreneurs and local businesses across the country. By addressing the financing gap, particularly for women-led MSMEs, we are confident that this partnership will create lasting economic impact, foster gender equity in entrepreneurship, and further contribute to the growth and resilience of the Philippine economy.”

According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), many Filipino female entrepreneurs and business owners face challenges in starting and growing businesses due to difficulties in securing capital. The MSME sector has been a crucial support system for these women, with a significant portion of enterprises being women-led, highlighting the sector’s resilience and contribution to the economy.

Asialink is set to expand nationwide, with plans to open more branches by 2025 across the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Building on its support for 20,214 MSMEs last year, with 12,048 specifically provided to women, its partnership with IFC will boost its growth and outreach.

For IFC, the partnership will support their goal to drive financial inclusion in the country. Furthermore, the company is hoping to inspire other companies and institutions to support the MSME sector.

“Over the years, Asialink has been a driving force in empowering businesses across the Philippines, fostering growth and resilience in the SME sector. However, we recognize that many small businesses, particularly in underserved regions, still face significant barriers in accessing reliable and quality financing,” said Jordan. “With IFC’s support, we are poised to break down these barriers and expand our reach, ensuring that more entrepreneurs across the country gain the financial tools they need to thrive and contribute to the nation’s economic progress.”

The success of this collaboration highlights the shared commitment of Asialink and IFC to stimulate economic growth and elevate the availability of funding for the MSME sector in the Philippines.

This year, the program is being expanded to include Japan and Korea, covering 10 markets in total. Similar to previous editions, Agoda will donate USD1 towards WWF`s conservation efforts for every program booking made at a participating hotel.

The Eco Deals initiative will fund a wide array of conservation activities, including restoring wetlands in Japan, protecting spoonbills in Korea, and ongoing projects such as advancing tiger conservation in Malaysia, protecting whale sharks in the Philippines, conserving elephants in Thailand, safeguarding saolas in Viet Nam, restoring ecosystems in Indonesia, developing urban wetlands in Laos PDR, and supporting rangers in Cambodia. The Eco Deals program will be open to consumers for bookings from January 20, 2025, to December 19, 2025.

As part of the Eco Deals framework for 2025, Agoda is also introducing the Sustainable Tourism Impact Fund in collaboration with WWF-Singapore and UnTours Foundation.

In partnership with WWF, our goal is to ensure that future generations can explore the world affordably while preserving its natural beauty. The Eco Deals Program has been an important initiative for our hotel partners since its inception in 2022, offering them an accessible way to support wildlife protection and habitat conservation projects. Building on past successes, we are scaling up this year. This expansion creates enhanced opportunities for hotels to participate in this meaningful effort. Additionally, the launch of the Sustainable Tourism Impact Fund will provide crucial support to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), empowering them to adopt sustainable practices and contribute meaningfully to the tourism industry’s future.”

Through the Eco Deals program, hotel partners can offer customers discounted rates of up to 15%. In exchange, these participating partners receive the Eco Deals badge and are featured prominently across various Agoda platforms, including social media, banner promotions, customer emails, and in-app notifications, enhancing their visibility. Additionally, customers can easily find Eco Deals through Agoda’s dedicated landing pages, designed for seamless browsing on desktop and mobile devices.

GRC Conclave discusses AI, cybersecurity strategies

Delegates of various tech-adjacent industries gathered at the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Conclave on January 17, 2025, to tackle the issue of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and strategies to combat AI-driven threats.

The event, first-ever held in the Philippines at the Dusit Thani Manila Hotel, brought together 150 organizations across Information Technology (IT), Banking, Finance Services and Insurance (BFSI), Business Processing Outsource (BPO), and E-commerce sectors.

Salil Sankaran, president of Ampcus Group addressed tech leaders and regulators in his opening remarks saying, “It is not only our responsibility to grow our magnitude, but we will make sure that we do it ethically, we do it with utmost integrity, and sustainability is the goal of it.”

Keynote speakers included Robert Sanchez Paguia of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), who spoke on his division’s role in cybersecurity and shared practical tips on staying safe online.

As the main implementing agency in enforcing laws on cybercrimes, the CICC created the Inter-Agency Response Center to receive complaints from the public.

Paguia shared a few tips on being protected online: 1) keep software up-to-date, 2) use an antivirus, 3) use strong alphanumeric passwords, 4) avoid opening attachments, or 5) links in spam emails. 6) avoid giving out personal information unless secure, 7) contact companies directly about suspicious requests, 8) be mindful on the URLs that you visit, and 9) keep an eye on bank statements.

“Most companies that suffer from attacks or data breaches, most often than not, they cannot recover anymore, they go bankrupt,” Paguia warned.

Department of Information and Communications (DICT) Undersecretary of Infostructure management, cybersecurity and upskilling Jeffrey Ian Dy warned that, “the barrier of entry for cyber-attacks has decreased because of AI.” He mentioned that the agency monitors up to 1.7 to 2 million threats a month.

Fintech

Banking and Fintech leaders John Patrick Lita (ING), Carlos Tengkiat (RCBC), Lawrence Ferrer (CIS Bayad Center), Marlon Sorongon (Maybank Philippines) discussed concerns in the sector, particularly scams and phishing schemes prevalent in the Philippines.

Ferrer pointed out that malicious actors continue to innovate, citing scam links in SMS messages as an example. This, he said, was why companies must adhere to the GRC guidelines.

Meanwhile, Sorongon emphasized the need to “continuously tell, inform, advocate, and share” about these types of schemes, “not just for employees but also for clients.”

Carlos Tengkiat, expressed his thoughts on AI, saying that it may help in the detection of fraud and could help users in where to invest. Since adoption of AI is similarly on the rise, Tengkiat shared that “[companies] should temper AI with human knowledge.”

Banks are also looking into utilizing AI to facilitate repetitive tasks, John Patrick Lita of ING shared. “We need to identify the specific requirements…needed that can [be] solved by the AI, like repetitive work.” Lita said.

Women in Cybersecurity and AI

Col. Francel Margareth Padilla-Taborlupa, spokesperson for the Armed Forces of the Philippines, emphasized in her talk the role of women in cybersecurity in extending opportunities for people to contribute to national security.

“Walang mahirap o mayaman sa information domain,” Padilla-Taborlupa said, highlighting citizens’ role in securing the Philippines digital space and combating fake news. “Cybersecurity is a strategic concept of national security,” she added.

The event also featured a panel with women pioneers in the cybersecurity and AI space, Mel Migrino (President of WiSAP), Majorie Labindao (AltPaynet) and Arlene Romasanta (Department of Natural Resources). Migrino said that women’s role in the area of GRC will be significant, as AI systems have biases in gender that may be overlooked.

As for roles in the ICT field and cyberspace, Labindao emphasized the need to “keep yourself updated” regardless of gender as the technological space continues to evolve and businesses start to embrace AI’s role in their operation.

As AI technologies make their way to consumers and companies, it becomes necessary to be united against cyber-threats and attackers.

In an interview, Ampcus cyber chief officer Deep Chanda said, “Companies today cannot just sit in one closed room and talk about security… these events are the best place to get united to share our thoughts, to share our problems and how to look at the next-gen tools, next-gen software developments, next-gen automations.”

Underscoring the event was the theme of trust and compliance between companies, regulatory bodies, customers and clients to build a safer, more secure technological future in the Philippines.

Sportradar: The impact of data, technology, and partnerships on global sports and fan engagement

Much like any other industry, sports are now being transformed by technology — from how it is consumed by fans to how games are played with athletes and teams harnessing the power of data and analytics to improve performance and gain competitive advantage.

One of the companies leading the charge is Sportradar, a global sports technology company and pioneer in using data and artificial intelligence (AI) to elevate fan engagement and redefine the sporting experience. Through its commitment to real-time data analytics, immersive technologies, and hyper-personalized content, Sportradar is building a sports ecosystem where fans are more connected to their favorite games than ever.

“Our mission at Sportradar is to transform sports into a more interactive and enriching experience for fans worldwide. No matter where you are, we strive to bring you closer to the action, offering deeper insights into every play and new ways to engage with your favorite teams and athletes,” Ben Turner, head of sports content and partnerships APAC & head of global basketball.

“With our innovative technologies, data-driven solutions, and strategic partnerships with leading sports leagues and federations, we are dedicated to closing the distance between fans and the game. Our mission is to craft unforgettable, immersive experiences that bring the excitement and energy of sports to everyone, everywhere—while simultaneously supporting the growth of the industry and advancing the development of its athletes.”

Innovating coaching and scouting with Synergy

One of Sportradar’s flagship solutions is Synergy, a platform that has transformed coaching, scouting, and performance analysis across basketball leagues worldwide. It hosts the world’s largest archive of basketball video and statistical data, enabling teams to analyze player movements, shot patterns, and overall team dynamics at a granular level. This data-driven approach empowers coaches, scouts, and analysts to make precise, evidence-based decisions that shape team strategy and drive player development.

Synergy, widely used by the NBA and national basketball teams, including the Philippine team, is trusted by over 40 leagues globally for advanced analytics in basketball. Now expanding its capabilities to baseball, Synergy is set to revolutionize player evaluation through a groundbreaking multiyear agreement with Major League Baseball (MLB).

Leveraging Sportradar’s AI-powered technology, Synergy transforms vast data from video into detailed metrics and insights, empowering both basketball and baseball organizations to streamline player evaluation, enhance decisions, and develop future stars with unmatched precision.

“With Synergy’s vast database of player statistics and video clips, teams can identify trends, assess opponents, and fine-tune their game plans with remarkable accuracy. By allowing teams to tailor training programs and refine tactics, Synergy is helping to elevate the competitive standard of basketball and baseball leagues worldwide,” Turner explained.

Reaching fans everywhere

Sportradar’s partnerships with major sports organizations, including NBA, MLB, and UEFA highlight its commitment to transforming fan experiences globally. As the NBA’s official data provider, Sportradar delivers accurate, real-time game statistics, fundamentally enhancing how fans engage with basketball. From preseason to playoffs, fans can access live updates on player metrics, team movements, and advanced analytics, creating a dynamic, data-driven viewing experience.

Sportradar’s latest NBA solutions further enhance this engagement with innovations like the Virtualised Live Match Tracker, which provides 3D, real-time visualizations from customizable angles; NBA Advanced Visualisations, offering in-depth player insights through heatmaps and metrics; and 4Sight Streaming, combining AI-enhanced broadcasts with real-time stats and predictive analytics to make fans active participants in the game viewing experience.

Empowering sports leagues is also a priority for Sportradar, as seen through our extensive basketball platform, which is a suite of solutions supporting leagues to collect and display data as well as delivering automated broadcasting platform-connected live games to fans worldwide, featuring graphic overlays, live commentary, and in-depth analysis without requiring on-site production. Used by leagues like the LNB France and NBL1 in Australia, it democratizes sports access, ensuring that fans everywhere can enjoy high-quality broadcasts, stats, and content regardless of location.

“By providing real-time data and advanced analytics, we empower fans to engage with their favorite games in a more meaningful way. Our solutions not only deliver real-time

insights but also allow fans to personalize their viewing experience. We believe that the future of sports lies in creating deeper connections between fans, teams, and the game itself. As we continue to expand our offerings, our commitment remains clear: to transform the way sports are experienced and celebrated around the globe,” Turner said.

As Sportradar continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sports technology, the message is clear: we are entering an exciting era where data and innovation make sports more engaging and accessible than ever. With each game, fans become more than just spectators; they are immersed in a dynamic, data-driven world where they can interact, analyze, and celebrate every moment of play.
