SINGAPORE and NEW YORK, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:TDTH) ("Trident" or the "Company"), a Singapore-headquartered technology holdings and digital infrastructure platform focused on scalable AI, enterprise software, and next-generation digital transformation opportunities across Asia-Pacific, today announced that it has executed a binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Digital Innovations Group ("DIG") headquartered in the United States, developer of the IRMA AI Engine, to launch and scale IRMA Engine Asia — an AI-powered enterprise marketing, automation, and customer acquisition platform designed for businesses, brands, agencies, e-commerce operators, and organizations throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

The binding LOI represents another strategic step in Trident's broader transformation into an AI-focused technology holdings platform targeting scalable digital infrastructure, enterprise software, and recurring-revenue opportunities across high-growth international markets. Through the proposed partnership, Trident intends to leverage its Singapore-based platform and regional positioning to pursue commercialization opportunities for IRMA Engine Asia across enterprise marketing, customer acquisition, digital engagement, agency automation, and AI-powered campaign execution.

The proposed IRMA Engine Asia launch further expands Trident's broader AI and digital infrastructure strategy across Asia-Pacific, following the Company's recently announced cybersecurity and fraud-prevention partnership initiatives focused on AI-powered enterprise protection, digital identity infrastructure, and real-time threat detection technologies. Management believes the combination of enterprise AI automation, cybersecurity, digital identity, and customer engagement infrastructure positions Trident to pursue scalable cross-platform opportunities across multiple high-growth technology verticals throughout the region.

Management believes Asia-Pacific represents a significant long-term growth opportunity for AI-powered enterprise automation and digital engagement technologies as businesses increasingly seek scalable, data-driven platforms capable of improving operational efficiency and expanding customer reach across regional markets.

The opportunity is underscored by the scale and trajectory of the global artificial intelligence market, which industry analysts estimate at approximately US$622 billion in 2026 and project to expand at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 22% over the next decade. Asia-Pacific is widely regarded as one of the fastest-growing regions for enterprise AI adoption, with multiple research firms forecasting regional growth rates well outpacing global averages as businesses across the region accelerate investment in automation, customer acquisition, and data-driven engagement platforms. Management believes Trident's Singapore-based positioning and regional focus place the Company in a favorable position to pursue a meaningful share of this expanding market through IRMA Engine Asia.

Under the binding LOI, Trident is expected to acquire an equity stake in Digital Innovations Group and support the capitalization, deployment, and regional launch of IRMA Engine Asia. DIG is expected to contribute its IRMA AI Engine technology, automation capabilities, product roadmap, marketing infrastructure, and operational support for the Asia-Pacific rollout.

The companies intend to position IRMA Engine Asia as a scalable AI-powered enterprise platform capable of serving multinational corporations, publicly traded companies, advertising agencies, marketing firms, e-commerce operators, enterprise brands, and regional business networks seeking AI-driven customer acquisition, engagement, and campaign execution capabilities throughout Asia-Pacific.

"Asia-Pacific represents a major opportunity for AI-powered marketing automation, enterprise engagement, and data-driven customer acquisition," said Michael Woloshin, Founder of Digital Innovations Group and creator of the IRMA AI Engine. "By executing this binding LOI with Trident, we believe we have established a strong framework for launching IRMA Engine Asia at scale. Trident's Singapore headquarters and regional technology strategy provide a compelling foundation for introducing IRMA's AI-powered marketing and automation platform to businesses, brands, agencies, and enterprise customers across Asia-Pacific."

"We believe AI infrastructure and enterprise automation represent one of the largest long-term technology opportunities across Asia-Pacific," said William Lim. "Our vision is to position Trident as a scalable technology holdings platform capable of commercializing next-generation AI, digital infrastructure, enterprise software, and cybersecurity solutions across high-growth international markets. We believe IRMA Engine Asia provides a compelling foundation to pursue enterprise adoption, recurring revenue opportunities, and long-term strategic expansion throughout the region."

IRMA Engine Asia Platform Capabilities

IRMA Engine Asia is expected to deliver AI-powered tools designed to help organizations automate and improve key components of marketing and customer acquisition, including:

content creation; campaign planning; social media engagement; email marketing deployment; audience targeting; lead generation workflows; analytics and reporting; performance optimization; white-label agency tools; reseller dashboards; and AI-assisted customer acquisition systems.

The platform is expected to support businesses seeking automated customer acquisition, brands seeking expanded digital engagement, agencies seeking white-label AI marketing infrastructure, e-commerce companies seeking scalable customer engagement, and enterprise organizations seeking AI-powered campaign execution capabilities.

"Most organizations do not need another standalone AI chatbot," added Woloshin. "They need an AI-powered execution engine capable of transforming ideas into measurable action. IRMA is designed to help businesses move from strategy to deployment by creating campaigns, distributing content, activating data, engaging audiences, and monitoring performance through AI-assisted workflows and automation systems."

Commercialization and Expansion Strategy

The companies expect the partnership to focus on:

Localizing the IRMA platform for Asia-Pacific markets
Building regional agency, reseller, and enterprise partnerships
Offering white-label AI tools to agencies and business networks
Pursuing enterprise deployment opportunities

and developing recurring revenue opportunities through subscriptions, licensing, managed services, enterprise software deployments, and reseller partnerships.

Under the binding LOI, Trident is expected to take an equity position in Digital Innovations Group, creating long-term strategic alignment between the companies as they pursue commercialization, enterprise onboarding, AI deployment initiatives, and customer acquisition opportunities across Asia-Pacific.

The parties intend for the binding LOI to establish the principal framework for the proposed transaction, while completion of the transaction remains subject to definitive agreements, customary closing conditions, board approvals, financing considerations, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Additional details regarding IRMA Engine Asia and the companies' anticipated commercialization strategy are expected to be announced as they become available.
