This is a sort of guidance, or at least a hint of things to come. As you know, companies test the products for quite some time prior to their decision of cooperation/contracting.
This sentence in the whole paragraph reads to me like : 'We are testing our products in the the Pacific, the interim results look promising therefore we intend to launch additional collaborative agreements with partners in the Asia Pacific '
In short, you are not missing anything concrete. I simply detect a hint as small as an elephant in regards to additional contracts coming soon from that part of the world.
