Seegene Launches STAgora™, a New Platform for Infectious Disease Analytics
STAgora™ provides real-time global visualization of infectious disease trends at the municipal, national, and continental levels, based on actual diagnostic test results. The platform delivers healthcare professionals immediate, structured diagnostic reports and statistical analyses in clear, actionable formats. These are supported by customizable dashboards and real-time alert functions.
In addition to tracking individual cases, STAgora™ enables users to monitor outbreaks across selected regions, both local and international. This capability provides real-time visibility into disease spread, enhancing situational awareness and supporting timely, data-driven public health responses. By equipping national and global health authorities with real-time epidemiological insight, the platform is expected to strengthen decision-making and support the development of effective response strategies to mitigate large-scale infectious disease outbreaks.
With more than 40 built-in statistical tools, STAgora™ enables early detection of abnormal pathogen patterns and supports predictive modeling for seasonal trends and emerging outbreaks. These tools include modules for tracking individual infections, analyzing symptom-based co-infections and calculating real-time infection rate trends. Together, they help transform static data into forward-looking intelligence that guides proactive interventions.
Unlike traditional outbreak monitoring systems that rely on retrospective data, STAgora™ performs real-time analysis of PCR-derived diagnostics. This allows for immediate visibility into pathogen spread and, through AI-based algorithms, the forecasting of potential future outbreaks.
"The key differentiator of STAgora™ is its unique architecture, which aggregates real-time diagnostic data from around the world into a unified analysis platform," said Young-Seag Baeg, head of strategic planning at Seegene.
When paired with Seegene's proprietary syndromic quantitative PCR technology, STAgora™ offers expanded visibility into both single-pathogen infections and simultaneous multi-pathogen co-infections. This comprehensive diagnostic insight empowers clinicians to make faster, more informed decisions at the point of care.
"During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw firsthand how crucial accurate and timely interpretation of diagnostic data was in shaping public health policies and clinical outcomes," said Daniel Shin, executive vice president and chief global sales and marketing officer at Seegene. "Now, as we confront increasingly complex threats such as antimicrobial resistance, viral mutations and co-infections, the ability to deliver actionable insights from diagnostic data is becoming a cornerstone of clinical innovation and a vital pillar of global health security."
Seegene will officially debut STAgora™ at the 2025 Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM) annual meeting, taking place July 27 to 31 in Chicago, USA. The event will highlight key capabilities of the platform, including its integration with CURECA™, Seegene's fully automated, unmanned PCR system. ADLM 2025 will also serve as a launchpad for Seegene to explore global collaboration and partnerships with healthcare leaders and clients.
With the launch of STAgora™, Seegene aims to lay the foundation for a smarter, faster and more connected global health defense system. By combining real-time molecular diagnostics, AI-driven analytics and global data integration, STAgora™ represents a strategic step toward building an intelligent public health infrastructure capable of responding proactively to emerging threats. The company envisions the platform as a core pillar of the global infectious disease response framework, marking a new step toward enhanced diagnostic insight and preparedness.

Mowilex models environmental leadership with new Cikande factory solar panels: for every 4 liters of Mowilex paint, 1 is now powered by the sun
With new solar panels at its Cikande factory, Mowilex has expanded its commitment to renewable energy, efficiency and the environment. The installation will lower the company's carbon footprint and cut grid electricity use by up to 25% per year. Mowilex earned its sixth consecutive CarbonNeutral® company certification in late 2024, and further supports Indonesia's clean energy goals with this solar project. JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- With the installation of solar panels at its Cikande factory, PT Mowilex Indonesia (Mowilex) is expanding its long-standing commitment to clean, renewable energy. Mowilex was Indonesia's first paint company to make major solar investments, demonstrating environmental leadership by first installing panels at its corporate headquarters in 2022. Over 500 solar modules now cover the roof of the main Cikande factory building. Another 252 solar modules were installed on car and motorcycle parking canopies. The system will reduce grid electricity use at the company's Cikande factory by approximately 500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually – and that means 1 of every 4 liters produced will be made with renewable energy. With the Cikande solar panels, Mowilex will lower its operational carbon footprint and cut non-renewable energy use by up to 25% per year. The company's new renewable energy project advances Indonesia's clean energy goals and comes just months after Mowilex earned its sixth consecutive CarbonNeutral® company certification. "We believe in taking real action to decarbonize. This solar installation at our Cikande factory goes beyond buying offsets, and it's more than a technological upgrade. It is a reflection of our core values. As a company rooted in environmental responsibility, this initiative brings us one step closer to a cleaner future for Indonesia," says Niko Safavi, CEO of PT Mowilex Indonesia. Through its investment in solar projects, Mowilex is actively reducing its dependence on brown energy. In contrast to brown energy, derived from fossil fuels and associated with high emissions and environmental harm, green energy represents a cleaner, renewable alternative. This strategic transition enables Mowilex to adopt a more stable, self-sufficient and environmentally responsible energy solution. The expanded use of solar also aligns with the environmental and ethical expectations of Indonesian consumers. Climate change worries 87% of Indonesians, says the global communications firm Edelman, and more than 90% of Indonesians think businesses don't do enough engagement around climate change issues. Another 90% expect CEOs to take a public stance on climate change. Mowilex embraces the opportunity to educate and deliver solutions to climate challenges through its products and practices. "We see consumers shifting their purchasing power toward brands that actively work to mitigate climate change. Mowilex is proud to meet those market expectations," says Safavi. "Solar is a reliable, independent power source that contributes to our energy security and supports Indonesia's renewable energy policies. By making this long-term investment, we hope to be a model for industry and for the greater public." PT Mowilex Indonesia (Mowilex), a subsidiary of Asia Coatings Enterprises, Pte. Ltd., is a leading producer of premium paints and coatings. Since launching the first Indonesian-made, water-based paints in 1970, the company has expanded its commitment to environmental ethics, equality, community and innovation. PT Mowilex is Indonesia's only certified carbon neutral manufacturer, producing zero and low VOC paints in modern colours, and the company regularly wins awards for its corporate social responsibility and sustainability efforts.

Net Zero Now Clears Key Milestone on 320-Acre Energy Campus, Accelerating Alberta's Low-Carbon Data Center Infrastructure Build Out
CALGARY, AB, July 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Net Zero Now Ltd. ("Net Zero") is pleased to announce the completion of environmental studies on its first energy campus in Alberta, a 320-acre site specifically selected to meet the infrastructure requirements and locational preferences of both electricity generation and data centers. With data centers applying for 16,229MW of load capacity from the electricity grid in Alberta, and the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) imposing an interim large load connection limit of 1,200MW, Net Zero's energy campus is solving the most critical constraint in Canada's fastest-growing data center market: access to electricity where data centers want to operate. "As the AESO's large-load interconnection queue grew exponentially, we recognized the need for a fundamentally different approach to powering these large loads," said Scott Martin, Head of Energy at Net Zero. "We're giving hyperscale operators the ability to directly connect through a co-located energy campus, or contract with our energy campus virtually through the electricity grid in order to bring their own generation online and serve a pre-existing site." The 320-acre energy campus provides a speed-to-market and low-cost electricity supply solution that includes 400MW of base load electricity generation, power quality services, backup supply, and an accompanying data center campus, the renderings of which are pictured above. In addition to the focus on achieving a net zero carbon emission electricity supply, Net Zero will deploy net zero building techniques to reduce the embodied and operational carbon footprint of its data center structures which include: advanced insulation systems, sustainable materials, and energy-efficient construction practices. "While Alberta is not currently ranked as a top-tier global data center market, we expect that will change in the near future as investors and operators look at the favourable electricity cost, tax environment, and foreign exchange rate that comes with doing business in Alberta," said Logan Downing, Head of Carbon Strategy at Net Zero. "Many data center operators are reluctant to enter a new market due to a lack of electricity supply, local contacts, or regulatory experience. We provide fully-permitted construction-ready energy campuses that enable speed-to-market, low-cost electricity supply, and a best-in-class carbon intensity to accelerate Alberta's position in the rapidly growing AI industry." Net Zero's energy campuses will bring more electricity supply online to help keep electricity costs low for all Albertans and Alberta-based businesses, while also contributing new property tax revenue and jobs to the communities. Net Zero is pleased to see how the Alberta government has positioned itself as an attractive location for data centers by creating a stable political environment, focusing on reducing red tape, and creating pathways to establish meaningful connections with the communities and First Nations. As a result, Net Zero is also evaluating additional strategic sites across Alberta to meet the growing electricity demand from data center operators. Net Zero Now is building the infrastructure backbone of Canada's digital future. Our energy campuses enable the co-location of electricity generation and compute load, accelerating access to shovel-ready projects with low-cost electricity and net zero carbon emissions at strategic locations in Alberta.
