EDBI invests in Vobile's expansion in Asia Pacific

EDBI helps leading provider of video content identification and management products and services accelerate its growth.

Vobile on Monday announced its plan to expand operations in Asia Pacific by establishing its regional headquarters in Singapore. EDBI, an investment firm headquartered in Singapore with worldwide presence, has made a strategic investment in Vobile to help accelerate its growth plan, according to a Vobile report.

Vobile VDNA® technology is recognised as the gold standard in online video content identification services. Vobile content identification services have been widely deployed by major Hollywood studios, television networks, cable programmers and sport leagues. The ability to accurately identify and automatically track digital content usage online will help rights holders unlock the huge revenue potential on emerging new media platforms, such as Apple iPad or online video streaming sites.

"The pervasiveness of digital media content requires scalable and cost-effective solutions to protect and enforce copyright. This is particularly true in Asia. Through Vobile, EDBI will strengthen the digital media content ecosystem and allow content developers to reap the full economic benefits of the contents they have created, thus ensuring a vibrant digital media industry in Singapore," said Chu Swee-Yeok, CEO of EDBI. "We look forward to working closely with Vobile in expanding its Asian footprint using Singapore as its headquarters, and in growing new capabilities in digital media sector."

"We have made solid progress recently in Japan market as a result of our partnership with Sony PCL. Asia Pacific holds great potential in digital media distribution and consumption because of its advanced broadband and wireless infrastructure and vast population. Many of our customers have their Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore," said Yangbin Wang, CEO of Vobile. "We are pleased to have EDBI as our new strategic investor and partner. With strong local support, I am confident that our future growth in the region will exceed our plan."

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
