AcroMeta Group Limited has entered into a Binding Indicative Term Sheet with a technology partner for a proposed joint venture that will develop an AI-powered global trade operating system. The joint venture will be undertaken through AcroMeta's subsidiary, AcroMeta Lifestyle Pte. Ltd., and represents a fundamental shift from traditional e-commerce platforms to an active, intelligent system that autonomously sources real-time global procurement opportunities and manages the entire trade execution process.
The platform will utilize six specialized AI agent clusters, including Customs Data Intelligence, Social Intent Mining, and Government Tender AI, to continuously scan global data sources for verified purchase signals. This technology moves beyond passive online marketplaces by actively discovering opportunities and executing end-to-end transactions that include payment, logistics, and customs management. Suppliers will be able to pay to unlock high-intent leads identified by the system, with the platform offering a managed trade service to handle complex cross-border execution.
This initiative is strategically important because it transforms how global trade is conducted, moving from reactive marketplace models to proactive, AI-driven opportunity discovery. The platform's ability to autonomously identify and execute trade opportunities could significantly reduce barriers to international commerce for businesses of all sizes. By handling the complex aspects of cross-border transactions, including customs compliance and logistics coordination, the system addresses key pain points that currently limit global trade participation.
Under the Term Sheet, the paid-up capital of AcroMeta Lifestyle will be increased to S$500,000, with AcroMeta contributing S$200,000 for a 51% majority stake and the Partner contributing S$300,000. This structure enables AcroMeta to scale the venture with reduced capital outlay while retaining strategic control. The technology Partner will assume general management responsibilities, bringing day-to-day operational expertise, while AcroMeta maintains oversight through board chairmanship and financial controls.
Executive Director Lawrence Toh stated that the joint venture serves as a strategic launchpad for the AI-powered global trade operating platform. "By deploying it first within our own ecosystem, we immediately generate a valuable, operational case study and revenue stream. Once we fine-tune its efficacy, we will expand into other business, industrial sectors and countries," Toh explained. This phased approach allows for real-world testing and optimization before broader market deployment.
The Proposed JV marks a significant step in AcroMeta's transformation and positions the Group to participate more meaningfully in global AI-driven markets. The Group aims to build new revenue pillars that complement its existing businesses and support sustainable shareholder value.
