CHENGDU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 April 2025 – On April 16, the “2025 Chengdu International Friendship Cities Cooperation and Development Forum”, hosted by the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government and organized by the Foreign Affairs Office of the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government, officially kicked off in Chengdu. This conference was themed on “Hand in Hand, Sharing and Winning Together”. Major activities included the opening ceremony, mayor’s roundtable, thematic promotion sessions, thematic inspections, as well as multiple bilateral meetings and relevant side events. To deepen cooperation between Chengdu and the five Central Asian countries in areas such as trade, investment, infrastructure, and culture, Chengdu has established the Central Asia Economic and Trade Promotion Association, which will hold its unveiling ceremony during the conference. Mr. Dewit, Chairman of the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, believed that Chengdu serves as an important gateway for Belgium to access markets in Western and Central China. He remarked: “Chengdu and Belgium have a solid foundation in the pharmaceutical and technology sectors. Sichuan Airlines has opened a number of cargo flights to Belgium, and it is expected to usher in direct passenger flights in the future. In the field of education, universities in the two places should establish closer ties to promote students’ exchanges.” As a hub for international exchanges in western China, Chengdu has built a network of 241 “international friendship cities” since it established its first sister-city relationship with Montpellier, France, in 1981. These sister cities have not only facilitated diverse cultural exchanges and interactions with Chengdu, but also injected new vitality into Chengdu’s economic development, technological innovation, educational cooperation and other fields. As one of the best epitomes of the ongoing deepening exchanges and cooperation between Chengdu and the EU, the “2025 Chengdu * European Cultural Season” and the “European Style Street” series of events, organized by the EU Delegation in China, were also held on April 12 in the Chengdu Eastern Suburb Memory Park. Since its inception in 2017, the “Chengdu * European Cultural Season” has been successfully hosted eight times, forging a bridge of friendship that enhances mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the people of Chengdu and Europe. In recent years, exchanges and cooperation between Chengdu and EU countries have been continuously deepening. Currently, Chengdu has established international friendship and cooperative relations with 31 cities in EU member states, and there are 11 cargo and passenger routes between Chengdu and the EU. In 2024, Chengdu’s import and export volume to the EU reached 142.16 billion yuan. In February 2025, the signing ceremony of memorandum of friendship and cooperation between Asti, Italy and Tianfu New District, Sichuan, was held in Chengdu. Maurizio Rasero, Governor of Asti Province and Mayor of Asti, Italy, stated that as an important historical and cultural city in Italy and a hub for the wine industry and machinery manufacturing, Asti has vast potential for cooperation with Chengdu in industrial development and scientific and technological innovation.

All roles, all levels, all markets: General Assembly launches first-of-its-kind one-stop AI Academy to help companies close their AI skills gap

This is the first in Singapore to offer flexible AI courses geared towards all organisational roles – from business and operational teams to decision-makers – all in one place Unlike traditional offerings, where companies must purchase and manage separate courses for each department or level, General Assembly’s AI Academy lets companies assemble the modules, depth and context that fit their unique needs The modular, fully customisable courses are hands-on and expert-led, with practical use cases that can be applied in day-to-day work SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 April 2025 – General Assembly, a leading source for tech staffing, education and mid-career transitions into tech, today announces the launch of its first-of-its kind, one-stop AI Academy – a comprehensive and customisable training programme that will enable companies of all sizes to upskill their workforce in AI across various job roles, levels and markets in both tech and non-tech areas. General Assembly’s AI Academy aims to help companies close their AI skills gap The AI Academy’s launch comes as Singapore prioritises AI adoption and upskilling among enterprises, having launched a series of initiatives to help businesses leverage AI services and enable workforce transformation during Budget 2025. This mirrors global trends, as most tech hiring managers (89%) report their companies plan to increase AI investments in the coming year, according to research conducted by General Assembly. However, organisations continue to face a critical shortage of qualified talent, as businesses continue to catch up to the changing AI landscape. In Singapore, only 4.2% of small-medium enterprises have adopted AI, according to a 2023 report by the Infocomm Media Development Authority. “Companies are rushing to adopt AI but failing to bring their workforces along. The growing disconnect between technology investments and human capabilities is a significant barrier to achieving ROI from AI. Businesses need to start building AI skills across the workforce, now,” said Daniele Grassi, Chief Executive Officer, General Assembly. General Assembly’s AI Academy offers flexible, modular training pathways targeting specific business functions, including HR, marketing, sales and product management.
