KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 10, 2026, SKYWORTH PV successfully hosted Malaysia First Brand Launch & Partnership Conference in Kuala Lumpur, marking a key milestone in expansion into the Malaysian market. The event brought together industry experts, local partners, and business leaders to explore opportunities in Malaysia's rapidly evolving distributed solar sector.
The conference opened with a welcome session, followed by a video message from Mr. Huang Hongsheng, Founder of SKYWORTH Group. In his remarks, he reaffirmed the Group's long-term commitment to the new energy industry and emphasized the importance of localized development in driving sustainable, low-carbon growth across global markets.
In the keynote speech, Mr. Wang Chundan, General Manager of SKYWORTH PV Asia-Pacific, highlighted the strong momentum of Malaysia's solar market under a series of supportive policy shifts. Recent developments—including the removal of capacity limits for non-residential PV systems, the optimization of the SELCO mechanism, and the transition from NEM to Solar ATAP—are reshaping the market by encouraging self-consumption and improving overall project returns. At the same time, adjustments to electricity tariffs and green energy incentives are further accelerating demand, while enhancing the economic viability of energy storage across residential and commercial & industrial segments. These policy dynamics are rapidly unlocking the potential of Malaysia's rooftop solar and solar-plus-storage market, supporting the country's goal of achieving 70% renewable energy by 2050. He noted that SKYWORTH PV is well-positioned to support this transition with reliable products, integrated solutions, and long-term partnership value.
During the brand session, Ms. Ada Xiao, Brand Ambassador of SKYWORTH PV Asia-Pacific, presented the company's global footprint and brand strategy, with a particular focus on its localization approach in Southeast Asia. She highlighted how SKYWORTH PV is adapting its brand, services, and ecosystem capabilities to better align with Malaysia's market environment, enabling partners to build sustainable and competitive businesses locally.
The technical session was delivered by Mr. Chen Yuchao, Chief Technical Expert of SKYWORTH PV Asia-Pacific, who focused on solution adaptability under Malaysia's climate conditions, grid structure, and energy usage patterns. Covering high-efficiency PV modules, hybrid inverters, and energy storage systems, he demonstrated how integrated solar-storage solutions can optimize energy utilization, enhance system stability, and maximize returns across different local application scenarios.
A key highlight of the conference was the introduction of SKYWORTH PV's localized partnership model by Mr. Chen Lin, Malaysia Market Development Director. Backed by SKYWORTH Group's strong brand and manufacturing capabilities, the company has developed a one-stop cooperation model that empowers partners across branding, supply chain, design, digitalization, operations, and financing. Supported by a comprehensive logistics and operational system, this model enables standardized delivery and efficient project execution. Combined with localized financing support, it helps partners lower entry barriers, improve profitability, and achieve rapid, scalable growth in the Malaysian market.
The event reached its peak during the signing ceremony, where multiple Malaysian enterprises entered into partnerships with SKYWORTH PV on-site. These agreements not only reflect strong market recognition of SKYWORTH PV's product strength and service capabilities, but also mark the rapid establishment of a localized partner network, laying a solid foundation for future expansion.
With a solid technological foundation, proven global experience, and a clear localization strategy, SKYWORTH PV's entry into Malaysia represents more than market expansion—it signals the acceleration of a high-value, scalable solar ecosystem. Moving forward, SKYWORTH PV will continue to collaborate closely with local partners to unlock Malaysia's solar potential and drive the transition toward a greener energy future.

SKYWORTH PV Debuts in Malaysia, Accelerating Local Solar Growth with Strong Partner Momentum
SYDNEY, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Humanforce, a leading global provider of intelligent, AI-driven human capital management (HCM) solutions for frontline workforces, today announced the launch of Humanforce Connect, the first frontline and flexible workforce management operating system.
Humanforce Connect brings together compliant roster creation, internal workforce activation, private marketplace access, agency vendor management and contingent orchestration into a single platform. This takes frontline employers from compliant, costed demand creation through to governed labour fulfilment across both internal and external worker pools.
Humanforce already operates at the deepest operational layer of frontline work — rostering, time, attendance, compliance, cost and pay outcomes. Humanforce Connect extends that into governed access to third-party labour pools and contingent orchestration beyond the employer's own workforce. No other vendor in the frontline segment connects this full chain end-to-end.
Frontline organisations in healthcare, aged care, hospitality, stadia, retail and logistics face a structural challenge that no existing software platform has fully resolved: how to govern labour fulfilment across both internal and external worker pools. Humanforce already supports compliant roster creation and internal shift activation. The unresolved problem begins when work cannot be filled internally - to cover a last-minute call-out, a demand surge, a site-specific credential requirement, or a vacancy that needs to be covered through agencies, labour hire or other trusted external sources. In most organisations, that process still spills outside the system of record into fragmented manual workflows. The result is lost revenue, premium labour spend, compliance risk and weaker labour productivity.
"Most frontline employers do not struggle to build a roster. They struggle to govern how work gets filled once their own workforce is exhausted," explained Clayton Pyne, CEO, Humanforce. "What we are doing with Humanforce Connect is bringing that fragmented external fulfilment chain – private labour networks, agency management, labour hire and contingent orchestration – into one governed operating system. Right person, right place, right time, whether they are your employee, a casual, an agency worker, a labour hire worker, or someone already known to your organisation through a trusted marketplace.
"This is bigger than operational efficiency. Flexibility and high-quality digital work experiences should not be reserved for white-collar workers. Frontline workers deserve the same, without employers having to sacrifice compliance, confidence, cost control or labour productivity. That's what Humanforce Connect delivers."
How Humanforce Connect was Built
Humanforce Connect is delivered through the strategic acquisitions of Emprevo and ShiftMatch, two specialist technology providers that add distinct and complementary layers to Humanforce's broader strategy.
Emprevo is a leading private work marketplace platform purpose-built for frontline organisations. Its Worker Connect and Agency Connect capabilities enable organisations to build controlled labour ecosystems, which connect their own workforce, known external workers and preferred agency networks within a governed marketplace environment. Emprevo adds marketplace liquidity and worker experience infrastructure for employers managing blended frontline workforces.
ShiftMatch is a specialist relief management and contingent workforce orchestration platform that has delivered shift fill rate improvements of up to 90% for its customers. ShiftMatch's intelligent matching engine adapts to daily staffing requirements, automatically coordinating internal relief pools and external contingent workers through governed escalation workflows, agency connectivity and internal-first fulfilment logic. It adds the orchestration and vendor governance layer needed to fulfil frontline work through third-party channels without losing execution control.
Together, Emprevo and ShiftMatch complete the labour fulfilment layer of Humanforce's platform, adding marketplace liquidity and contingent orchestration to the roster creation, compliance, costing and execution capabilities customers already rely on.
"Our customers have consistently asked for two things: a structured way to manage their own labour pools and agency networks, and an intelligent engine to orchestrate fulfilment decisions in real time. Emprevo and ShiftMatch deliver exactly that," said Pyne. "Combined with Humanforce's workforce management, payroll and compliance capabilities, the result is a connected operating model that gives frontline employers faster coverage, greater cost control and complete visibility over every worker in their operation regardless of whether they are employees, casuals, agency workers, labour hire or trusted marketplace workers."
These acquisitions build on Humanforce's earlier strategic acquisition of LiveHire, which brought talent pools and candidate identity management to the platform, further deepening Humanforce's capability across the full workforce lifecycle and strengthening the worker identity layer that sits upstream of fulfilment.
