55% of consumers in Southeast Asia say ads influence what they buy next

That rises to 66% in Thailand and 60% in Indonesia. When shopping online, people in the region are also 1.6 times more likely than the global average to take inspiration from ads.

The opportunity is clear, but competition for attention is intensifying on traditional platforms. Brands need more ways to reach relevant audiences where they actively spend time and engage.

This is where Telegram can add value to the media mix. The platform reaches more than half of internet users in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines every month, while its channel-based structure gives advertisers access to audiences already engaged with specific topics and interests.

Our new guide looks at the trends reshaping advertising in SEA, Telegram adoption across key markets, and how Telegram Ads can support more efficient audience acquisition and regional growth.

Financial Analyst, Salmon Based in Manila, Philippines | Relocation required Salmon is a technology-driven financial company building a banking and lending platform across Southeast Asia, starting in the Philippines.

What kind of operational infrastructure does coordination across the healthcare value chain actually require?

Eight years of building clinical programs across Southeast Asia, working with governments, hospital networks, and pharmaceutical companies, produced one consistent finding: the challenge is not the absence of capable AI. It is the absence of operational infrastructure that makes coordination reusable across programs.

Without that infrastructure, coordination remains highly program-specific, especially in drug development, where multiple key players must work together across the development process.

The infrastructure this requires has three properties.

It has to be reusable. Clinical programs should move from bespoke projects to reusable rails, with shared coordination rails replacing bespoke integration at every site.

It has to compound. Every application should strengthen the model, the network, and the protocol, building greater capacity across the ecosystem over time.

It has to enable coordination among independent actors. Hospitals, doctors, labs, pharma sponsors, regulators, patients, and AI builders can contribute services, validation, and clinical execution without surrendering operational sovereignty.

At Life AI, we are building an operating infrastructure for drug development around these requirements, bringing together AI-driven discovery, wet-lab screening, and clinical validation.

Scientists Just Found the Missing Denisovans of Southern China

For years, genetics has told us something strange.

People living today in Southeast Asia and Oceania carry substantial amounts of Denisovan DNA — yet confirmed Denisovan fossils have been extraordinarily rare, and a huge geographic gap remained across southwestern China.

Now that gap has started to close.

Researchers examined more than 60,000 bone fragments from Bianfu Cave in China’s Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau. Most were too fragmented to identify by shape, so the team analyzed the ancient proteins preserved inside them. The result: three bone fragments and two teeth were molecularly identified as Denisovan, dating to roughly 167,000–134,000 years ago.

Among them is something particularly valuable: part of a radius — a forearm bone. Until now, scientists had almost no securely identified Denisovan postcranial remains, making it extremely difficult to reconstruct what these mysterious humans actually looked like below the skull.

The cave is now the richest confirmed Denisovan fossil site outside the original Denisova Cave in Siberia. Its location is also tantalizing: southwestern China lies on a natural corridor connecting East Asia, the Tibetan Plateau, South Asia and Southeast Asia — precisely the region through which Denisovan populations may have spread before interbreeding with ancestors of people alive today.

Denisovans were discovered not from a skull, but from DNA in a tiny finger bone.

Sixteen years later, we are still assembling an entire human population almost one fragment at a time.

And proteins are now finding fossils that bones alone could not reveal.
