Accenture 

February: Accenture marked 50 years in Singapore. 

"Celebrating Accenture’s 50 years in Singapore this year has been a moment of pride and reflection. Our journey has always been about creating value for clients, empowering our people, and contributing to society. As we look ahead, we remain committed to pushing boundaries and helping organisations navigate an AI-driven economy—enabling them to innovate faster, scale smarter, and unlock the full potential of human-AI collaboration,”  said Mark Tham, Country MD, Accenture Singapore.

April: UOB and Accenture collaborate to transform customer experience. Under the terms of the agreement, UOB is to tap Accenture’s suite of AI-powered assets, including its AI Refinery platform. 

“2025 has marked the rise of the agentic AI era—where AI is no longer just a tool, but an active collaborator, driving outcomes and transforming industries. I’ve seen our clients adopt AI agents that make decisions, take action, and free employees to focus on higher-value, human-centred work," said Tham.

"One example is our collaboration with UOB, where we are helping the bank scale generative AI and apply agentic AI to transform customer experience and core operations. Using our AI Refinery platform, we’re supporting high-value use cases in customer engagement, risk management and workforce enablement — showing how agentic AI can unlock real business impact at scale." 

Acronis

September: Acronis' Threat Research Unit discovered a rare in-the-wild example of a FileFix attack — a new variant of the now infamous ClickFix attack vector. 

The Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU) published 17 original pieces of threat research in 2025. The TRU Team’s research dives deep into malware, ransomware, and active threat vectors, helping advance the broader security community’s understanding of today’s threat landscape, Acronis said in an update of its directions for 2026. 

October: Acronis was named a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for worldwide cyber recovery.

Acronis was recognised as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cyber-Recovery 2025 Vendor Assessment, marking the second time Acronis has earned this acknowledgement. 

"It’s evident that the cybersecurity industry took notice of the remarkable growth and maturation Acronis achieved in 2025. Through comprehensive analyst evaluations, rigorous third-party testing and user reviews, leading organisations across the cybersecurity spectrum have validated the development of Acronis as a comprehensive leader in cyberprotection," said Lee Pender, Senior Content Marketing Manager, Acronis, in a blog post.  

The company was also named a Champion in Canalys' 2025 Cybersecurity Leadership Matrix report where Canalys praised Acronis for its work with managed service providers (MSPs), while Frost named Acronis a Leader in Frost & Sullivan's Frost Radar Endpoint Security 2025 report.  

November: The Acronis SIEM Connector 2.0 offers seamless security integration for MSPs

"As MSPs evolve their security service offerings, the ability to consolidate threat intelligence and security events across multiple ecosystem vendors has become essential to competitive differentiation. Your customers expect unified threat visibility across all their security tools — consolidated into a single operational dashboard. This is no longer a nice-to-have; it's a must for MSPs competing in the managed security market," said Lyubomira Minovska, Senior Product Manager at Acronis, in a blog post announcing the connector. 

MSP stands for managed service provider. 

Bridgewise

March: In Japan, a new partnership with Rakuten Securities introduced StockWise - BridgeWise’s AI-driven equity analysis platform - to over 12 million investors, supporting the Japanese market with insights tailored to local language and context. 

“In 2025, BridgeWise’s growth has been defined not by hype, but by the practical ways compliant, explainable and multilingual AI can strengthen trust, expand access, and reshape the future of financial intelligence. Its multi-layered investment intelligence platform delivers insights in more than 20 languages, spanning conversational AI, market-trend analysis, and deep asset-level analytics,” said Kelvin Phua, GM APAC, BridgeWise.

July: BridgeWise announced an integration of more than 800 mutual funds and ETFs into FundWise in Thailand, enabling local investors with clearer insights, sharper analysis and buy/sell recommendations.

“As markets become more complex and globalised, the challenge is no longer accessing information but turning that information into understanding. Specialised proprietary AI is built to bridge that gap. Verticalised AI can now deliver transparent, explainable, and multilingual investment intelligence,” said Phua.

November: During Hong Kong FinTech Week, the company unveiled FixedWise (formerly BondWise), its first fixed-income intelligence solution powered by proprietary AI capable of analysing thousands of bonds that are typically opaque or inconsistently covered. 

“AI is moving from niche innovation to core financial infrastructure,” Phua concluded. 

“By transforming complex data into clarity and meaningful insights, we are helping exchanges open their markets to the world, creating more trust, participation, and opportunity for businesses and retail investors alike.”
