REGASK 2026 REPORT REVEALS SURGING REGULATORY PRESSURE DRIVES AI ADOPTION IN COMPLIANCE

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 (Bernama) -- Regulatory pressure is rising at a pace many organisations are struggling to manage, with 83 per cent of regulatory professionals reporting an increase in regulatory volume, according to the 2026 State of Regulatory Affairs and Compliance Report by RegASK.

The report noted a 34 per cent jump from last year, overwhelming legacy systems and leading to costly compliance gaps. Some 37 per cent of regulatory teams said their organisation missed a regulatory requirement in the past year, with half of senior leaders estimating financial losses of between US$500,000 and US$1 million, while 14 per cent reported losses exceeding US$1 million. (US$1=RM4.15)

Based on insights from 162 regulatory professionals and senior leaders across life sciences and consumer product sectors, the study emphasises that regulatory agility has become essential for business growth and resilience, with artificial intelligence (AI) expected to play a defining role, according to a statement.

RegASK Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Caroline Shleifer said AI has become a strategic imperative, adding that AI has evolved from being an emerging opportunity to a strategic capability, but the real challenge is ensuring leadership’s plans and timelines match operational realities.

Despite AI usage doubling over the past year, the report highlights a persistent perception gap between management expectations and operational realities. While senior leadership believes teams can respond to new regulations within a week, frontline staff report a demanding one- to four-week turnaround reliant on manual tracking and limited resources.

This misalignment often pushes teams toward short-term fixes rather than strategic readiness, restricting investment in advanced tools and contributing to burnout. It also explains why 56 per cent of operational teams are turning to general-purpose large language models to address immediate compliance needs.

Adoption of advanced applications such as agentic AI remains limited, with only seven per cent of senior leaders and 16 per cent of operational teams using it, while 39 per cent have never heard of the technology, signalling uneven AI maturity across the sector.

The report shows that just seven per cent of organisations can identify and respond to new regulations within 48 hours, giving them a competitive compliance advantage. In contrast, 16 per cent take more than a month to develop a response plan.

Missing regulatory requirements carries broader consequences, including delayed or cancelled product launches (46 per cent), clinical trial disruptions (39 per cent), product recalls (36 per cent) and reputational damage (25 per cent).

Despite rising demand for automation, most compliance functions remain manual, with 65 per cent relying on newsletter alerts for regulatory updates and 48 per cent depending on dedicated teams to track and interpret changes.

ABB POWERS NEXT-GEN AI DATA CENTRE AT NORTH DAKOTA’S POLARIS FORGE 2

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- ABB has expanded its partnership with Applied Digital to supply advanced medium-voltage power systems for the company’s second AI Factory campus in North Dakota, United States (US).

According to ABB in a statement, the 300-megawatt (MW) Polaris Forge 2 campus near Harwood is set to come online in 2026 and 2027, with future expansion planned.

The collaboration introduces a new power architecture designed for large-scale, artificial intelligence (AI)-ready data centres.

ABB Smart Power President, Massimiliano Cifalitti noted that the partnership enables “higher efficiency, performance, and reliability, along with lower costs and faster time to market” for large-scale AI facilities.

Meanwhile, Applied Digital Chief Development Officer, Todd Gale said Polaris Forge 2 represents the next evolution of our AI Factory model with high-performance, energy-efficient infrastructure.

ABB will provide low- and medium-voltage electrical systems, leveraging its HiPerGuard medium-voltage Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) technology and advanced switchgear to enhance efficiency and scalability.

Applied Digital has already leased the first 200 MW of Polaris Forge 2 to a US-based hyperscaler. The company’s initial 400 MW Polaris Forge 1 campus, launched with ABB in 2025 at Ellendale, North Dakota, set the benchmark for AI-focused data centre power design.

Moving from low-voltage to medium-voltage architecture using HiPerGuard allows data centres to scale in 25 MW blocks, reduce cabling, and improve reliability—all while maintaining industry-leading energy efficiency.

ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation with around 110,000 employees, has a 140-year history of delivering high-performance, sustainable industrial solutions worldwide.

MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC TO TRANSFER MOTOR, INDUSTRIAL UNITS TO EBARA IN 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- Mitsubishi Electric has agreed to transfer several key motor and industrial equipment businesses to EBARA Corporation, which marks a major reorganisation of its manufacturing portfolio.

Under the agreement signed on Nov 12, the deal covers its three-phase and interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor operations, along with production facilities at the Shinshiro Factory in Aichi Prefecture, a satellite of its Nagoya Works. The Nagoya Works will continue as the firm’s principal factory automation (FA) manufacturing campus.

Mitsubishi Electric is also divesting the industrial motor, pump and die-casting businesses operated by its Thai unit, Mitsubishi Electric Automation (Thailand) Co Ltd.

In a statement, the company said the transfer of assets, rights and obligations related to these businesses is expected to be completed during 2026, pending necessary reviews and approvals from relevant authorities.

Mitsubishi Electric Executive Officer (Associate) and Group President of Factory Automation Systems, Takayuki Tsuzuki said the transfer of its nearly century-old motor technology to EBARA will help drive broader development of the three-phase motor market while Mitsubishi Electric advances its digital platform initiatives and innovation-focused transformation.

Meanwhile, EBARA Executive Officer and President of Building Service & Industrial Company, Shu Nagata said the integration will allow EBARA to combine motor and industrial machinery technologies, expand energy-efficient and predictive maintenance solutions, and optimise global supply chain management.

Mitsubishi Electric’s Nagoya Works Shinshiro Factory will continue to manufacture main spindle and servo motors for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems, which are not part of the transfer.

EBARA will gain production sites in Japan and Thailand, as well as design and development expertise and motor-related technologies. The acquisition will accelerate its global expansion and support decarbonisation through energy-saving motor and rotation control solutions.

Mitsubishi Electric said the divestment will enable it to concentrate resources on expanding its FA Digital Solution business and strengthening core components such as programmable controllers, servos, and CNC systems.

IMMUNOSCAPE, CUE BIOPHARMA IN DEAL TO DEVELOP NEXT-GEN CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPIES

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- ImmunoScape Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based biotech spin-out backed by Amgen Ventures and EDBi, has signed an exclusive in-licensing agreement with Cue Biopharma Inc to develop a new class of T cell receptor (TCR)-based immunotherapies targeting solid tumours.

The collaboration gives ImmunoScape access to Cue Biopharma’s clinical-stage Immuno-STAT molecules in oncology, which will be combined with ImmunoScape’s precision TCR therapies to create a “Seed-and-Boost” approach, according to a statement.

The strategy involves engineering a patient’s T cells with tumour-specific TCRs (Seed), followed by administration of TCR-matching Immuno-STAT molecules (Boost) carrying interleukin-2, enabling potent tumour-targeting T cell expansion while minimising systemic toxicity.

ImmunoScape's first programme targets the WT1 antigen, expressed in multiple solid tumours including lung, pancreatic, colorectal, ovarian, gastric, melanoma, and head and neck cancers, as well as certain haematologic malignancies. Preclinical studies conducted in Singapore have shown promising results, supporting IND-enabling studies with clinical trials expected to begin by 2027.

The Seed-and-Boost platform is modular and may enhance existing autologous and in vivo T cell therapies, aiming to deliver safe, effective and patient-friendly cancer treatments. Clinical programmes will also consider cancer and immune types relevant to Asian populations.

As part of its expansion, ImmunoScape announced new appointments to strengthen its leadership. Cue Biopharma President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Usman “Oz” Azam, and an immunotherapy expert, Dr Adrian Bot, have joined the board of directors. Dr Pamela Munster, a medical oncologist and director of early-stage oncology clinical trials at UCSF, has joined the Scientific Advisory Board.

The new leadership and strategic partnership with Cue Biopharma will support its mission to advance next-generation cancer immunotherapies and improve outcomes for patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumours.
