– Launches AI-driven policy dashboard for government and industry leaders from 21 APEC economies
– Set to present digital transformation and AI collaboration strategies at APEC Dialogue on August 12
SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CODIT, an AI-powered legal and policy intelligence platform, participated in the corporate exhibition at the APEC 2025 Digital & AI Forum held on August 5 in Songdo, Incheon. During the forum, the company presented its real-time policy monitoring platform designed to improve access to timely and accurate regulatory intelligence.
The forum, held as an official side event of the APEC Digital and AI Ministerial Meeting, convened government and industry leaders from all 21 APEC member economies. At its exhibition booth, CODIT introduced its dynamic dashboard that curates and summarizes policy developments related to core forum themes, including artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
The platform attracted significant attention from policymakers and ICT experts across the region. Korea's Minister of Science and ICT, Bae Kyung-hoon, visited the booth to explore the platform firsthand. Attendees noted that in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment like Korea's, having concise policy updates available in English significantly enhances accessibility and practical usability for global stakeholders. The AI-powered dashboard's ability to automatically classify and summarize legislation, press releases, and news articles based on user-defined topics, was particularly well received.
CODIT currently provides policy response support services built on Korea's largest policy data coverage and proprietary AI summarization engine. In the second half of this year, the company plans to launch Chat CODIT, an interactive AI agent that enables real-time Q&A on policy information across major jurisdictions, including Korea and the United States.
"It was truly meaningful to receive direct feedback from policymakers who recognized CODIT as a practical solution for real-world policy response." said Ji Eun Chung, CEO of CODIT. "As digital environments evolve at unprecedented speed, the ability to deliver cross-border policy insights with speed and accuracy has never been greater. CODIT will continue to grow as a global platform that empowers better, faster policy decisions."
CODIT is also scheduled to speak at the upcoming APEC Public-Private Dialogue on August 12, where it will share strategic perspectives on digital transformation and AI cooperation. As APEC advances its regional agenda on AI collaboration, the session will highlight how AI-powered policy platforms can help build a more inclusive and sustainable digital ecosystem.

The Initiative Aims to Address the Pain Points of Family Filmmaking
BEIJING, Dec. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 6th, the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival opened in Beijing. SmallRig, a global specialized provider of imaging solutions, collaborating with FamilyLens, is empowering family filmmaking through various initiatives, including the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative, a dedicated family filmmaking kit, and a social impact screening program.
Deepening the "Co-Creation Initiatives"
The Co-Creation Initiatives are a series of global creative initiatives open to filmmakers and image creators worldwide. Through deep collaboration across multiple dimensions — including product co-creation, discovery and promotion, and content co-creation — SmallRig aims to expand the boundaries of mobile filmmaking and bring the spirit of Free Your Dream to life with creators everywhere.
Following the launch of the Mobile Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative at the 14th International Smartphone Film Festival, SmallRig announced the launch of the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative on December 6th at the 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival. The initiative invites global creators and every family to participate, focusing on three core directions: product co-creation, work promotion, and content co-creation, to explore the possibilities of family filmmaking for everyone.
Mr. Zhou Yang, Founder and CEO of SmallRig, shared the inspiration for the initiative: "The initiative is rooted in the immense universality and profound emotional depth inherent in family narratives, which serve as a common emotional bond connecting global audiences. We firmly believe that in this era, where everyone can be a content creator, every family can and should film their own story. The instinct to create is deeply embedded in the human spirit, and every home is the origin of countless narratives."
Gu Xue, Founder and Director of the FamilyLens International Film Festival, stated: "We hope that people and practitioners around the world who care about family movies can find suitable solutions and gain insights from the Co-Creation Initiatives. We look forward to more and more people exploring the field of 'Home' together through this initiative."
To address the pain points of family filmmaking, SmallRig officially released the SmallRig Family Filmmaking Kit at the opening ceremony. The kit includes a high-quality microphone, fill light, and a portable tripod, specifically designed to achieve "professional function democratization" and "complex feature simplification." During the FamilyLens Workshop, attendees experienced the convenience of the equipment firsthand. Many expressed that the kit truly solves many problems, enabling ordinary families to complete necessary filming without specialized photography knowledge.
Social Impact Screening Program
The 3rd FamilyLens International Film Festival is open to the public from December 6th to 14th. The festival opened with the screening of well-received documentary: K-Family Affairs. In addition to the competition section, the festival features several distinctive sections, including the Reframing Home Movies— An Italian Retrospective, Youth Film Program, Filmmaker in Focus, and the Social Impact Program. Four major awards, such as the Real-Life Portrait Award and the Artistic Exploration Award, will also be presented.
As a key component of the Co-Creation Initiatives, the SmallRig Image Development Fund partnered with the FamilyLens International Film Festival to curate the "Social Impact Screening Program." This unit focuses on elevating awareness of critical issues within the family unit, advocating for a new reflection: "Starting with Seeing, Concluding with Understanding."
Arum Nam, Director of K-Family Affairs, stated:
"Starting with the stories of your family, your friends, and yourself, I believe this personal narrative can connect directly to the bigger society."
SmallRig believes that truly meaningful social impact storytelling stems from awareness in proximity—achieved by using the lens to penetrate the daily surface and enabling a deep, empathetic "Seeing with Empathy."
The four featured works in this unit are:
- People of the Ascent
- Granny's Lost and Found
- Ruixi at Fourteen
- No Country For My Maternal Grandma
These films highlight four family issues that require "seeing": the yearning of left-behind children, the mental isolation of Alzheimer's patients, the elderly searching for subjectivity in their drifting lives, and the emotional volatility and struggle of Bipolar Disorder.
Strategic Outlook and Future Expansion
SmallRig will continue to support the Family Filmmaking Co-Creation Initiative's deep development through promotional campaigns and practical workshops focused on family movie scenarios.
The overall goal of SmallRig's Global Co-creation Initiative is to continuously explore and meet the growing, diverse needs of global creators across different vertical domains. SmallRig is committed to persistently expanding the co-creation model into more imaging sectors, collaborating with industry partners to push the boundaries of imaging and grant global creators broader creative freedom.
