YY Group (NASDAQ: YYGH) Announces Strategic Partnership with Velobotics to Advance Autonomous Facility Management Capabilities in Southeast Asia

SINGAPORE, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) ("YY Group" or the "Company"), an AI-native workforce management platform and integrated facility management (IFM) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Beijing Velobotics Tech Co., Ltd. ("Velobotics"), a leader in commercial autonomous service hardware. Under the partnership, YY Group intends to serve as a regional commercialization and deployment partner for Velobotics' advanced VIGGO L4 autonomous floor-scrubbing and multi-purpose fleets across Singapore and Malaysia. The collaboration targets the systematic integration of these robotic assets into premium commercial environments currently managed under YY Group's extensive IFM footprint, including transportation hubs, major banking facilities, and mixed-use complexes. The initial deployment phase is planned to evaluate the VIGGO SC series. Built upon Velobotics' proprietary autonomous driving deep-learning architecture, the hardware features advanced multi-sensor fusion alongside specialized automated docking workstations. These workstations are designed to enable hands-free operational loops, including fully automatic water replenishment, self-draining, and autonomous charging, aiming to drastically reduce manual intervention frequencies and optimize human efficiency ratios. "Integrating L4 autonomous driving technology into our daily IFM workflows bridges the gap between traditional manual operations and high-margin smart facility management," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group. "By partnering with Velobotics to explore the deployment of self-navigating fleets, our goal is not only to elevate service quality but to structurally insulate our operating margins from regional labor shortages. This is a highly practical execution of our broader AI-native infrastructure roadmap." The partnership aligns directly with the Agentic and Robotic Automation parameters outlined in YY Group's May 11, 2026 Strategic Update. By layering Velobotics' autonomous assets alongside its existing regional programmes, YY Group continues to execute its strategy of serving as a key institutional gateway for advanced commercial automation deployment across Southeast Asia. The partnership has an initial term of 24 months and is non-binding except with respect to confidentiality, intellectual property, public disclosure, and governing law provisions. The Parties intend to negotiate one or more definitive agreements covering commercial terms for product purchase, deployment, and potential market development rights. There can be no assurance that the Parties will enter into definitive agreements, that products will be deployed at any specific scale, or that the collaboration will generate any specific level of revenue or operational impact.
