VCI Global (VCIG) announced plans to launch a Robotics-Enabled Workforce Platform through a strategic term sheet agreement with Youlife Group (YOUL). "The initiative represents a significant step in VCI Global's expansion into robotics-as-infrastructure. The platform is intended to deliver guaranteed productivity through a hybrid human-robot workforce model, offered on a recurring, service-based subscription, rather than through traditional capital equipment sales," the company said.

Youlife Group (YOUL) announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent, or LOI, expressing the intention to jointly develop, deploy, and commercialize a robotics-enabled workforce-as-a-service, or WaaS, platform in strategic collaboration with VCI Global (VCIG). The initiative will position Youlife at the forefront of industrial automation and workforce transformation across ASEAN and emerging markets. The platform will integrate robotics, artificial intelligence and human workforce management to deliver a guaranteed productivity capacity to enterprises and industrial clients across ASEAN and selected international markets. This technology will enable a single trained operator to supervise multiple robotic units, dramatically improving output per worker while upgrading blue-collar roles into higher-value technical positions. Unlike traditional automation or staffing models, the platform will be offered under a WaaS structure. Clients do not purchase robots or hire large workforces. Instead, they contract for guaranteed daily or monthly production capacity, backed by service-level agreements. Under the collaboration, VCIG provides robotics system architecture, AI software, financing structures, and regional scale-up capabilities, while Youlife leads workforce sourcing and deployment, on-site operations, training, and regulatory compliance. Together, Youlife and VCIG aim to establish a new category of AI-enabled workforce infrastructure aligned with national productivity, ESG, and industrial transformation agendas. The LOI is non-binding, and the completion of any transaction remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, completion of due diligence, satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and applicable corporate and regulatory approvals.

Youlife Group announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent, or LOI, setting forth the parties' preliminary intention for Youlife to acquire Anlian HR, a well-established OMO, or Online-Merge-Offline, blue-collar recruitment platform provider in China. Youlife believes the OMO model is increasingly becoming the preferred industry approach because it addresses two fundamental challenges-operational efficiency and trust-through closed-loop delivery. Anlian HR is an established operator of this model, combining digital talent engagement with a nationwide offline service network to support recruitment and employment delivery.

Youlife has entered into a definitive share exchange agreement with Lightred Investment and YouheHR Group in connection with its proposed acquisition of four regional human resources service companies, following the non-binding letter of intent announced in December 2025. The signing of the definitive agreement represents a transition from strategic evaluation to a structured transaction framework. The companies to be acquired operates across multiple regions and labor-intensive industries. Under the definitive agreement, the transaction is structured as a pure-equity share exchange, with consideration linked to the future performance of the acquired companies. The transaction is expected to close following the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including regulatory, documentary, and corporate approvals by all parties.
