TNL Mediagene Co-Hosts the 2025 Generative AI Conference, Expands Presence in AI Ecosystem in Asia
NEW YORK and TOKYO, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TNL Mediagene (Nasdaq: TNMG) (the 'Company'), a Tokyo-based next-generation digital media and data group in Asia, co-hosted the 2025 Generative AI Conference on May 23-24, the most influential AI event in Asia, with participants from Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. The event drew approximately 1,000 attendees and 2,000 virtual attendees post-event, and expands the Company's presence in the AI ecosystem in Asia. The 2025 Generative AI Conference is Taiwan's premier AI event, bringing together the public, developers, AI-focused start-ups, vendors and press. Co-organized by Muyueh Lee, the curator of the Generative AI Conference and TNL Mediagene, the two-day conference featured a split agenda including the Generative AI Developers Conference on May 23, followed by the Generative AI Conference on May 24. Event sponsors included leading tech companies NVIDIA and Appier, among others. The 2025 Generative AI Conference was not only a technology event, but also a collaborative arena for professionals across industries to co-create the future of AI applications. As the event's key media and strategic partner, the Company leveraged its media platforms INSIDE, The News Lens, Business Yee, and Cool3c to provide extensive coverage and insights before, during and after the event. The conference included brand experience booths and expert forums, offering a space for dialogue between local and global AI pioneers and is one of Asia-Pacific's premier AI exchange platforms. 'The 2025 Generative AI Conference was a big success for us. Co-hosting this event was a key milestone for the Company, both on a personal level and from a business perspective. The event provided great visibility for our brand, essentially recognizing us as one of the key players in AI in Taiwan and Asia more broadly, and allowed us to get in front of a large group of innovators, industry participants and businesses for potential future follow-on business opportunities' Co-Founder & CEO Joey Chung said. By gathering global experts and Taiwan's top enterprises, the 2025 Generative AI Conference also functioned as a potential launchpad for partnerships, innovation, and practical applications of generative AI. The event focused on Generative AI broadly and highlighted various use cases for the technology including integrating AI into everyday processes in retail, process automation, AI Agents, AI coding, AI experience design and AI-based content creation, among others. 'Generative AI is a game-changer in our industry, especially in terms of content creation and content optimization. We actively use AI as part of our multilingualization strategies where we basically take entire media properties with content native to one geography and push it to new geographies with AI-based translation to expand readership. We are finding that this process works well enough that in many cases the readers in additional markets may not even realize that the media originated from a different language market. We have also found that we have been able to take a lot of cost out of our business and enhance profitability through AI, so that is also another AI use case for us and something we are very focused on as well.' 'On a more strategic level, we are also always selectively enhancing our offering through technology M&A when we can find the right supplementary business at a good price, with AI targets being a key focal point. The opportunity to get our name out there in a high-visibility AI-centric forum where we can meet a lot of founders is always a big plus for us' Joey concluded.

Jobber Releases Q1 2025 Home Service Economic Report Highlighting Stabilization, Digital Adoption, and Strategic Growth Shifts
New report reveals how small home service businesses are adapting to economic uncertainty through pricing strategies and digital payments TORONTO, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Jobber, the leading provider of home service software, today released its latest Home Service Economic Report: Q1 2025. The Q1 2025 edition combines Jobber's proprietary platform data aggregated from more than 250,000 residential cleaners, landscapers, HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and more, with external economic indicators to provide comprehensive insight into the trends shaping one of the fastest-growing and most essential parts of the small business economy, Home Service. The report is available at: 'The Home Service economy is showing encouraging signs of stabilization, even as some uncertainty remains,' said Sam Pillar, CEO and co-founder of Jobber. 'Our data shows that demand for services is evolving. Homeowners are prioritizing essential services and value-driven investments, creating strong opportunities for businesses that stay agile, manage costs wisely, and continue to deliver exceptional work. There's real potential ahead for those prepared to meet the moment.' Key Insights from the Report Signs of stabilization amid uncertainty: While inflation cooled and household spending remained steady, elevated interest rates and cautious consumer sentiment continued to limit demand for large-scale, financed projects. As a result, homeowners shifted toward practical, value-oriented services. Digital payments hit record high: Digital payments accounted for 47% of all transactions in Q1, up from 43% a year prior, highlighting homeowners' growing expectations for ease, speed, and professionalism in their service experience. Segment Highlights: Green, Cleaning, Contracting, and Construction Home Service businesses experienced mixed results in Q1 2025, with revenue stability driven by smaller, recurring jobs in segments like Green and Cleaning, while larger, discretionary projects in Contracting and Construction continued to face headwinds. A deeper breakdown is as follows: Green: Started the year strong, with an 8% year-over-year increase in new work scheduled in January. Bookings dipped mid-quarter, but revenue rose 6% year-over-year due to bundled services and modest price increases. Cleaning: New work scheduled fell 4% year-over-year, yet revenue held up thanks to a 5% increase in average invoice size, driven by upselling and recurring service models. Contracting: Demand for core repair and diagnostic services remained steady, but growth was flat. New work scheduled declined 4% year-over-year, and revenue saw a modest 1% gain. Construction: The segment saw an uptick in project planning with a 4% increase in new work scheduled, but revenue declined as many jobs appeared delayed or incomplete, reflecting cautious homeowner spending and seasonal slowdown. 'The Q1 data shows a sector in transition—stable, but still under pressure from high borrowing costs and cautious consumer behavior,' said Abheek Dhawan, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Analytics at Jobber. 'We're seeing nuanced shifts of essential services holding strong, while larger projects appear to lag. This kind of segmented, ground-level insight is critical for understanding where the market is heading and how businesses can plan for what's next.'
