Through its entry with the Genesis GMR-001 Hypercar in the Hypercar class at the race, held from June 13 to 14 (local time) in Le Mans, France, Genesis Magma Racing aims to mark a new milestone in Korean motorsports history while demonstrating its brand competitiveness in the global market. Jos&eacute; Mu&ntilde;oz, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company, said, &quot;Genesis has grown faster than any other luxury automotive brand and we're thrilled to be competing in the world's toughest endurance race where we'll be able to validate our performance under pressure.&nbsp; We're humble but we're hungry and we know there is hard work ahead. We're bringing lessons from the track to our Magma performance vehicles and in how we run the business. In a 24-hour race where anything can happen, the team needs to be seamless in how we support each other and find creative solutions to win. It's a perfect analogy for how we're managing uncertainty and focused on delivering exceptional vehicles, technology and service for our customers.&quot; Early Momentum in WEC Debut Season Sets the Stage for Le Mans Genesis Magma Racing has already demonstrated competitiveness in its debut season in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Notably, the team secured points in Round 2 at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, proving its stable driving performance and operational capability despite being in its inaugural season. Building on this experience, Genesis will prioritize completing the 24-hour race at Le Mans, while also striving to deliver competitive results. Magma GT &amp; Magma GT3 Concepts Signal Next Evolution in Performance Vision At Le Mans, Genesis unveiled the Magma GT Concept and Magma GT3 Concept, outlining a clear vision for the brand's future across luxury performance and motorsport. While an earlier version of the Magma GT Concept was revealed in November 2025, the model has since been reintroduced at Le Mans with an all-new interior, reflecting the evolution of the Magma program. Conceived as a two-passenger luxury grand tourer, the Magma GT Concept blends athleticism and elegance in a manner distinctive to the brand. Its design is defined by a low-slung front end, wide fenders, and dynamic mid-engine proportions, while sculptural surfaces and aerodynamic detailing highlight the brand's Athletic Elegance philosophy. Inside, the concept combines a twin-cockpit layout with a driver-centric architecture, centered around an analog instrument cluster inspired by motor racing timekeeping instruments and complemented by tactile controls that emphasize precision and engagement. The result is a refined yet immersive cabin that reinterprets the modern luxury GT experience—balancing performance, comfort, and craftsmanship. Making its global debut at Le Mans, the Genesis Magma GT3 Concept outlines a potential future direction for Genesis Magma Racing as it expands beyond its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) Hypercar program. Conceived as part of a long-term motorsport strategy, the concept reflects the growing relevance of GT3 competition and its potential to strengthen the connection between Genesis' road cars and racing activities, positioning both the Genesis and Genesis Magma Racing brands within this category to more closely link road-going and racing portfolios while further elevating their profile in global motorsport. The Genesis Magma GT3 Concept has been developed in alignment with GT3 technical regulations, reflecting a performance-led approach shaped by motorsport requirements. As an independent study, it explores how race-driven architecture, aerodynamics, and engineering principles could inform future Genesis performance vehicles, rather than being derived from an existing road-going model. Optimized for performance, the GT3 Concept features widened tracks, a prominent front splitter, enlarged ducts, and a door-mounted fin to enhance aerodynamic efficiency and cooling. Advanced thermal management strategies, along with a race-focused rear structure incorporating a fixed wing and diffuser, support durability under endurance racing conditions. Developed in collaboration with Hyundai Motorsport, the GT3 Concept remains under exploration, with architecture, components, and potential development pathways yet to be defined. As one of several possible scenarios, it demonstrates how Genesis is exploring opportunities beyond LMDh. Together, the Magma GT and GT3 Concepts illustrate a cohesive approach, where motorsport serves as both inspiration and testing ground for future Genesis performance and design. Luc Donckerwolke, Chief Creative Officer of Genesis, said &quot;The Magma GT Concept and Magma GT3 Concept represent two distinct yet connected expressions of Genesis performance. The Magma GT Concept embodies our vision of luxury and athleticism on the road, while the Magma GT3 Concept translates that philosophy into the race environment, where every element is driven by performance, efficiency, and purpose. Together, they demonstrate how Genesis is exploring the full spectrum of high performance—from refined grand touring to uncompromising motorsport.&quot; Motorsport as a Catalyst for Global Expansion Alongside its motorsport ambitions, Genesis continues to accelerate its European growth strategy, expanding into new markets including Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Spain, while preparing for further entry into Poland, Austria, Portugal, and Denmark as part of its long-term global vision. The brand's presence on the world stage—through both endurance racing and market expansion—reflects a unified strategy to elevate Genesis as a modern, performance-driven luxury brand. A Presence Beyond the Track Further underscoring its presence at Le Mans, Genesis will showcase two evolved X Gran Convertible Concept models—originally introduced at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show—during the Drivers' Parade in Le Mans city center later today. Building on the earlier concept, these latest iterations represent a refined and more visually striking evolution, further aligning the model with Genesis' expanding Magma portfolio. As an architectural study rooted in the G90, the updated concepts embody a more pronounced expression of Magma design, reinforcing Genesis' commitment to continuous enhancement and progressive luxury. Both vehicles feature distinctive color and material selections while exploring a more open, emotional, and human interpretation of Genesis luxury. One model, finished in Liquid Titanium, expresses the dynamic qualities of the racing environment through its GMR-inspired colorway, while the other—in Midnight Teal—embodies a calmer, more sophisticated palette, complemented by tartan-inspired textiles for a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. The X Gran Convertible Concepts will be driven by Genesis brand ambassador and race advisor Jacky Ickx, alongside reserve driver and Genesis Magma Racing trajectory driver Jamie Chadwick. These enhanced concept models further explore an emotional and approachable form of Genesis luxury, where racing energy, hospitality, elegance, and quiet refinement coexist through materials, colors, and atmosphere. Their appearance highlights the brand's evolving design identity and its growing connection with global motorsport audiences beyond the circuit.

ISTANBUL, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At the recently concluded&nbsp;KOMATEK 2026 exhibition, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science &amp; Technology Co., Ltd. (&quot;Zoomlion&quot;; 1157.HK) made a powerful impression under the theme &quot;Innovation for Value&quot;. Showcasing over 40 advanced products alongside its localized sales and service framework, the company garnered extensive acclaim from global customers. During the event, Zoomlion secured over 1 billion RMB (approx. $138 million USD) in new and intentional orders, highlighting its market leading position and the rapid momentum of its international development. Localization and customization stood out as core features of Zoomlion's exhibition lineup. To address the rigorous operating conditions and regulatory frameworks of Turkey and its surrounding markets, the company presented several tailored equipment solutions. A key highlight was the ZLK7600V803 knuckle boom crane, a specialized model manufactured locally at Zoomlion's factory in Germany. The crane features a superstructure manufactured by Zoomlion's German subsidiary, WILBERT, integrated with a premium, locally sourced European Scania chassis. Fully certified under CE standards and meeting all European road transport regulations, this model seamlessly blends Zoomlion's long-standing structural optimization and control technologies. Offering exceptional lifting performance, high quality, and cost-efficiency, this benchmark machine serves as a compelling example of Zoomlion's &quot;global village mindset&quot; in driving international industrial collaboration and deeper market integration. This deep integration of cross-border technological innovation and overseas localized manufacturing is a direct result of Zoomlion's &quot;1+N&quot; global manufacturing strategy. Under this blueprint, &quot;1&quot; represents the Zoomlion Smart City in China—the central hub for advanced research and primary exporter of core technologies and innovative products. The &quot;N&quot; signifies a growing network of overseas localized manufacturing facilities and service platforms positioned across key strategic markets worldwide. Currently, Zoomlion has established 13 overseas R&amp;D and manufacturing bases, more than 30 primary regional aviation hubs, and over 400 sales and service outlets, with its products and services covering over 170 countries and regions. Through this expansive network, Zoomlion is constructing a highly collaborative global industrial framework. As one of Zoomlion's core strategic markets, Turkey exemplifies this deeply localized approach. Since establishing its Istanbul subsidiary in 2018, Zoomlion has built a robust network of 12 comprehensive service branches and 3 central warehouses across the country. The recent openings of the Denizli branch (3,500 sq. m.) and the Bursa branch (1,200 sq. m.) have further solidified Zoomlion's capability to serve as a critical regional hub for sales, technical maintenance, and spare parts. This extensive direct infrastructure effectively establishes an integrated &quot;end-to-end&quot; platform combining administration, warehousing, logistics, and customer support for the region. Concurrently, Zoomlion is extending its localized manufacturing capabilities deeper into Europe. In Tatab&aacute;nya, Hungary, Zoomlion's modern AWP intelligent factory officially commenced Phase I operations in 2026. Strategically positioned at a major logistics corridor connecting Eastern and Western Europe, this 250-mu (approx. 16.5-hectare) facility specializes in high-quality boom and scissor lifts. This setup significantly enhances regional supply chain efficiency and product availability while fostering strong, mutually beneficial synergies with local industrial ecosystems. Meanwhile, Zoomlion is driving a landmark transformation at its primary European manufacturing hub in Germany. Following the acquisition of tower crane manufacturer WILBERT in 2018, the site has steadily evolved into a multi-category industrial base. In 2025, Zoomlion broke ground on Phase II of the factory, an investment exceeding EUR 50 million covering over 60,000 square meters. Upon reaching full capacity, the expanded facility will produce over 1,000 units of tower cranes, mobile cranes, and concrete machinery annually, serving as a comprehensive overseas production hub and a vital bridgehead for Zoomlion's long-term growth in Europe. The rollout of the &quot;1+N&quot; strategy delivers distinct operational advantages to both Zoomlion and its global customers. First, it significantly improves delivery efficiency and product adaptability, as manufacturing and assembling equipment closer to end markets allows Zoomlion to respond more swiftly to regional standards and customer preferences. Second, closer coordination among these global bases enhances supply chain resilience. Through mutual resource integration between domestic and overseas facilities, Zoomlion has optimized regional logistics networks and ensured a stable, consistent, and reliable product supply for international construction machinery markets. Finally, supported by an end-to-end service network and direct direct-to-customer operations, Zoomlion provides comprehensive lifecycle maintenance support, building deep commercial trust and establishing a solid foundation for mutual success with global clients. From product innovation to intelligent manufacturing, and from local production to direct service support, Zoomlion continues to root itself in local markets with a &quot;global village mindset&quot;. Driven by continuous technological R&amp;D and localized operations, the company refines its products to match global needs while strengthening connections worldwide. Moving forward, Zoomlion remains committed to open cooperation, leveraging its industry-leading R&amp;D capabilities, comprehensive manufacturing systems, and professional service networks to work alongside global customers and partners toward a sustainable future.

Deepening Local Markets to Create Long-Term Value: Zoomlion Steers Global Localization Forward

SINGAPORE, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For years, loyalty programmes across banking, credit card, and financial institutions have been built around a familiar formula: collect points, unlock perks, repeat. But across Asia-Pacific, consumers are beginning to expect something different. According to the APAC Loyalty Index released by Dragonpass, the region's loyalty economy is rapidly shifting away from transactional rewards toward lifestyle relevance, emotional trust, and everyday utility. The study, which surveyed consumers across Southeast Asia and China, found that while &quot;trust&quot; remains the foundational driver of brand loyalty, consumers increasingly demand value that feels immediate and personalised. The results highlight growing fatigue with traditional loyalty mechanics in the region. While 80% of respondents stay loyal to their bank because it is the most secure option for their money, 28% say their loyalty rewards simply do not match their lifestyle — and a striking 53% of high-income earners find their current loyalty rewards are misaligned with their actual needs. Travel and Digital Concierge as the New Loyalty Levers The Index highlights that travel remains the most powerful tool for customer retention. Younger consumers and affluent segments demonstrated a strong preference for integrated digital concierge services, premium travel experiences, and personalised lifestyle benefits. This highlights the convergence of financial services and lifestyle ecosystems across APAC markets. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder5557" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1863087/4e6a2c03821c4ed6b0c32256bca5ba8b.jpg?id=OA2699941&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1863087/4e6a2c03821c4ed6b0c32256bca5ba8b.jpg?id=OA2699941&amp;p=medium600" title="" alt="" /></a> </div> &quot;The traditional loyalty model was designed around transactions, but consumers today demand something far more intuitive and integrated into their lifestyle,&quot; said John Su, Group CGO &amp; APAC CEO of Dragonpass. &quot;They expect their banks or financial providers to play an active role in their everyday lives. This is exactly where we have invested heavily, not only in spanning our global travel, dining, and premium lifestyle services, but in the technology that is designed precisely to close this gap, helping financial institutions deliver relevant, real-time value at every stage of the customer lifecycle.&quot; For banks, fintechs, and payment brands, the implications are significant. As competition intensifies and switching barriers continue to fall, loyalty is increasingly becoming a strategic growth lever rather than a marketing add-on.

The film is among the first feature films produced with the support of NadouPro, iQIYI's AI platform built for professional film and television production, which helped the production achieve a nearly 50% improvement in overall shot production efficiency. &quot;None Shall Escape&quot; centers on a young medical student who travels alone to a secluded Western-style manor in search of her missing twin sister. What begins as a desperate search turns into a psychological ordeal as she unravels the estate's dark secrets, navigating the line between reason and madness to survive. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder7105" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1862958/9cc32e37a88543ff8040ab80c9758f0b.jpg?id=OA2699814&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1862958/9cc32e37a88543ff8040ab80c9758f0b.jpg?id=OA2699814&amp;p=medium600" title="" alt="" /></a> </div> Rethinking the Visual Effects Workflow NadouPro's workspace addresses one of the most persistent pain points in large-scale productions: managing massive visual effects shots across teams. Through a project management feature purpose-built for professional workflows, it gives teams a centralized, scalable environment for shot tracking and scene management. &quot;NadouPro connects to many different large-model tools, allowing us to run the same prompt across models and identify which performed best for each shot type. The project management interface also allowed our team to organize shots, track progress, and communicate in real time, something other AI tools we had used simply could not offer,&quot; said Yu ZHANG, Visual Effects Director of &quot;None Shall Escape&quot;, who is part of a seasoned visual effects team with experience across multiple major drama series and film projects. From Concept to Screen Leveraging NadouPro, the production team handled conceptual art design and shot generation for multiple visual effects sequences, while also applying the platform to enhance live-action footage through effects refinement, prop replacement, and atmosphere augmentation.&nbsp;For one of the film's most AI-intensive sequence – depicting human cells mutating under an experimental drug – NadouPro compressed what would have been nearly a month of atmosphere development under a traditional workflow into under one week, saving approximately three weeks overall. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1110" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1862959/2a091ba607d54e38bd9608f037c8c1c6.jpg?id=OA2699815&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1862959/2a091ba607d54e38bd9608f037c8c1c6.jpg?id=OA2699815&amp;p=medium600" title="" alt="" /></a> </div> For another scene requiring post-war smoke and haze around the manor exterior, the traditional approach would have demanded extensive particle simulation and compositing, with frame-by-frame work covering smoke dynamics, light matching, and camera tracking. With NadouPro, the team imported the live-action footage directly into the platform and, drawing on its integrated large-model tools, rapidly generated multiple stylistic variants that closely replicated real on-set conditions. Post-production Director Xingsheng HAN noted that integrating NadouPro into the visual effects pipeline improved overall shot production efficiency by nearly 50%. For him, AI is not a replacement for human creativity but a tool that frees production teams from repetitive work, allowing them to redirect their energy toward the creative process itself. &quot;Even without AI, experienced visual effects professionals could produce these shots&quot;, he said. &quot;The real question is how we draw on existing production expertise to complete long-form projects more efficiently and to a higher standard.&quot; NadouPro's Rapid Adoption and Global Expansion &quot;None Shall Escape&quot; is among the first feature films completed with the support of NadouPro, marking a step forward in iQIYI's continued progress toward an industrialized AI workflow for feature film production.

Four self-developed product lines — servo press,&nbsp;transducerized tightening, automatic screw feeding, and Centron precision dispensing — support Southeast Asia's accelerating EV and automotive manufacturing expansion BANGKOK, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Electric vehicle production across Southeast Asia is scaling rapidly. Thailand alone has set a target for EVs to account for 30% of total vehicle output by 2030, intensifying demand for traceable assembly technologies on the production floor. Against this backdrop, the need for traceable assembly technologies on the production floor has become increasingly urgent. Leetx, an intelligent assembly technology company with a long–standing footprint in the automotive sector, will exhibit at Automotive Manufacturing 2026 from 17–20 June 2026, showcasing its fully self–developed unified technology platform and four core product lines. &quot;Southeast Asia is emerging as a critical node in the global EV supply chain,&quot;&nbsp;said Samuel Chen, Head of Overseas Business at Leetx. &quot;Local manufacturers face a dual challenge: scaling capacity while safeguarding quality. A unified, traceable assembly architecture is now within reach — and that is the message we want to bring to this market.&quot; Full-Stack R&amp;D on a Unified Platform According to Leetx, all underlying technologies — from motors and sensors to control software — are developed in–house. The company's four product lines —&nbsp;transducerized tightening, automated screw feeding, servo press systems and Centron precision dispensing — share a common technology architecture, allowing advances on one product line to be transferred rapidly across the others. This cross–line synergy enables faster response to customer requirements and shortens time–to–line for new vehicle and battery programs. Four solutions will be demonstrated on–site: 1.&nbsp; Automated Screw Feeding System The feeding system accommodates bolts of varying diameters and lengths, supporting fastening requirements across automotive lighting, e–drive and electronic control applications — helping customers reduce hardware retooling costs during line changeovers and product iterations. 2.&nbsp; Transducerized Tightening with Full Data Traceability Feeding, positioning, fastening and quality traceability are integrated into a single error–proofed workflow. The torque–angle curve of every bolt is recorded in real time and bound to the product serial number, eliminating uncertainties introduced by manual operation — including missed fastenings, incorrect screw selection and consistency loss caused by operator fatigue. The result is full–lifecycle data traceability, providing the foundation for zero–defect manufacturing and recall prevention. 3.&nbsp; Servo Press with Force–Displacement Closed–Loop Control Delivering millisecond–level response and micron–level precision, the servo press transforms conventional press–fit from a &quot;blind&quot; operation into a quantifiable, analyzable digital process. The technology is already widely deployed across e–drive, brake–by–wire, battery module and thermal management assembly lines. 4.&nbsp; Precision Dispensing for Harsh–Environment Sealing Centron delivers precision dispensing system solutions engineered specifically for meeting the sealing requirements in e–drive and electronic control applications, ensuring robust, design-compliant waterproofing and dustproofing. In Southeast Asia's demanding high-temperature, high-humidity environments, high–quality sealing brought by our high-accuracy dispensing not only extends powertrain service life significantly, but also supports greener manufacturing goals and enhances product reliability across the entire lifecycle.

Against that backdrop, Lockton's diversified platform delivered balanced growth across regions and businesses.&nbsp; <ul type="disc"> <li>Lockton&nbsp;International&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lockton&nbsp;Re&nbsp;each delivered approximately 15% growth.&nbsp;</li> <li>U.S. operations delivered&nbsp;an&nbsp;eighth&nbsp;year of double-digit growth, despite uneven conditions across regions and product lines.&nbsp;</li> </ul> U.S. Highlights&nbsp; Lockton's U.S. business delivered another strong year, continuing a pattern of sustained momentum across the market. U.S. revenue finished just under&nbsp;$3 billion, up 11% year over year, marking the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;business's&nbsp;eighth&nbsp;consecutive year of double-digit growth.&nbsp; This&nbsp;performance was supported by strong client retention and continued growth in key parts of the business. Backed by one of the industry's strongest producer groups and highly collaborative service teams, Lockton achieved a 94% client revenue retention rate.&nbsp; The firm&nbsp;also&nbsp;continued to strengthen its U.S. platform by expanding national industry verticals and specialty practices across Risk and People Solutions. In People Solutions, revenue surpassed&nbsp;$1 billion&nbsp;for the first time, reflecting sustained demand for integrated benefits, wellbeing, and advisory services. Together, these investments concentrate&nbsp;expertise, improve consistency, and make advanced capabilities more accessible to clients across markets.&nbsp; International Highlights&nbsp; Lockton's international business also delivered a strong year, continuing to build momentum across key&nbsp;markets.&nbsp;Despite uneven conditions across regions, the business achieved&nbsp;15% growth,&nbsp;driven&nbsp;in part&nbsp;by&nbsp;27% growth from&nbsp;People Solutions&nbsp;and ongoing&nbsp;strength in&nbsp;retail and specialty lines.&nbsp; Lockton also continued to strengthen its international platform during the year, expanding operations in Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and Italy while further investing in its operating model, leadership, and client service teams across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific. Together, these investments reflect a deliberate strategy to be closer to clients,&nbsp;operate&nbsp;with greater local relevance, and deliver integrated&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;across borders as risk grows more global and interconnected.&nbsp; Lockton Re&nbsp; Lockton Re, the firm's global reinsurance business, continued its strong trajectory, delivering meaningful growth supported by expanded client relationships, geographic expansion, and targeted people, leadership,&nbsp;and&nbsp;capability investment. The business&nbsp;benefited&nbsp;from increased demand for sophisticated advisory support as insurers navigated evolving market dynamics, capital constraints, and portfolio optimization challenges.&nbsp; Lockton Re continued to build out its capital markets and capital advisory capabilities, enhance global portfolio solutions, and invest in cyber‑&nbsp;and&nbsp;credit‑related&nbsp;offerings, positioning the business to support clients across a broader range of risk transfer and capital solutions. These investments reinforce Lockton Re's role as a&nbsp;long‑term&nbsp;partner to clients amid changing reinsurance and capital markets conditions.&nbsp; Technology, AI, and Innovation&nbsp; Over the last year, Lockton made significant investments in data, analytics, and artificial intelligence to enhance client service, improve insight, and empower Associates across its global platform. These efforts are central to the firm's strategy to lead through advisory expertise while reducing friction and increasing consistency in how clients are served.&nbsp; At the center of this work is Lockton SAGE, a proprietary,&nbsp;AI‑enabled&nbsp;technology ecosystem designed to connect&nbsp;data, analytics,&nbsp;and&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;to deliver smarter insights, faster decisions, and greater confidence across critical business decisions. Broader deployment of the platform will begin in&nbsp;fiscal year&nbsp;2027, with continued investment planned across digital, analytics, and data capabilities.&nbsp; &quot;Artificial intelligence will reshape every aspect of risk and insurance,&quot; said&nbsp;Ron&nbsp;Lockton. &quot;We see AI as an accelerator of human&nbsp;expertise, not a substitute for it. Our focus is on using technology to enhance judgment, insight, and the value we deliver to clients.&quot;&nbsp; Culture and Talent&nbsp; Lockton's performance continues to be underpinned by its&nbsp;unique&nbsp;culture and people.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - TVBS deployed its self-developed real-time AI translation system during NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's keynote at GTC Taipei 2026 on June 1. The system delivered near-simultaneous Chinese subtitles that viewers initially mistook for official NVIDIA translations. The in-house technology marked a rare instance of a news organization independently developing live translation for a large-scale broadcast. <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://images.media-outreach.com/release.php/Thumb/1600x900/775336/775336-TVBS-photo-png-1600x900.png" alt="TVBS deployed its self-developed real-time AI translation system during NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's keynote at GTC Taipei 2026 on June 1." style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="1600"> <figcaption style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%" class=""> <div style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start" align="left"> TVBS deployed its self-developed real-time AI translation system during NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's keynote at GTC Taipei 2026 on June 1. </div> </figcaption> </figure> Online viewers praised the translation quality, with comments including "The quality of this real-time translation is amazing," "The translation is incredibly fast," and "The live speech recognition quality is surprisingly good." Some viewers assumed the subtitles came from NVIDIA's official translation team. The achievement demonstrates how Taiwan's media industry is adapting to AI-driven transformation. TVBS is positioning itself as a leader in integrating proprietary AI development with real-world broadcast applications. The company completed optimization and deployment of the system in just nine days — a process that traditionally requires months of dedicated training, according to Andy Yang, manager of TVBS AI Future Technology Department. Yang explained that the biggest challenge in real-time translation lies in balancing "content accuracy" with "reading fluency" under extremely tight time constraints. Huang's speaking style is highly improvisational and frequently switches between English, Mandarin and Taiwanese, while audience applause and cheering often occur simultaneously. Applying standard off-the-shelf translation software in such an environment would likely result in sentence segmentation errors and unclear semantic interpretation, Yang said. Rather than pursuing "zero-latency" translation at all costs, TVBS designed a subtitle presentation mechanism specifically tailored to the keynote format. Prior to the event, the TVBS team conducted extensive cross-platform testing on multiple AI translation models, evaluating latency and error rates. By introducing a carefully calibrated broadcast delay, the system gained additional time to process semantic meaning and contextual alignment. This approach enabled smoother subtitles matching natural Chinese reading habits, Yang said. The team also built a dedicated knowledge base for NVIDIA GTC Taipei, compiling AI industry terminology, product names and technical keywords in advance. This significantly improved translation quality and the accuracy of professional content delivery. TVBS's real-time translation system can be customized based on different broadcasting scenarios, Yang noted. Yang emphasized that the key to the rapid nine-day deployment was cross-department collaboration. Engineering teams handled hardware tuning and signal integration, while internal technical and content teams managed ongoing model training and refinement. TVBS established a collaborative workflow integrating both technology and editorial expertise. Through continuous iteration and adjustment, the team incorporated Taiwanese linguistic nuances and natural Chinese phrasing into the system. This enhanced fluency and readability beyond what generic AI models alone could achieve, ultimately shaping what Yang called a distinct "TVBS AI style." The approach reflects the company's "3T" philosophy — Truth, Trust and Technology. In his keynote at the Taipei Music Center, Huang focused on AI infrastructure, next-generation computing platforms and NVIDIA's latest technological roadmap. GTC Taipei 2026 attracted significant international attention as AI continues to reshape global industries. Through its own transformation journey, TVBS hopes to help lead Taiwan's media industry into a new era shaped by AI.

<h4>If there are only three days to understand China’s economic development, Beijing CBD is a good place to start.</h4>BEIJING, CHINA - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - In mid-June this year, 2026 Beijing CBD Forum Annual Conference will be held as scheduled. Nearly ten thousand participants from five continents will gather here, with international speakers accounting for more than 50% of the lineup. Yet the Forum is but a window; the true landscape worth the world's attention lies just outside – the central business district itself. <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://images.media-outreach.com/release.php/Thumb/1600x1128/775350/775350-1-jpg-1600x1128.jpeg" alt="The skyline of Beijing's Central Business District" width="1600" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> <figcaption class="" style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%"> <div align="left" style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start"> The skyline of Beijing's Central Business District </div> </figcaption> </figure> "International Density" on Seven Square Kilometers In the core area of Beijing CBD – a mere seven square kilometers – nearly 16,000 foreign-funded institutions and 125 regional headquarters of multinational corporations (MNCs) are located. This represents half of all MNC headquarters resources in Beijing. This is no coincidence. The district is one of China's most internationally oriented, service-rich, and mature international business zones. From law firms and consultancies to financial institutions, the world's top professional services firms have formed a complete ecosystem here. What makes the area even more valuable for overseas companies and organizations is that policies here are not just written on paper – they are embedded in actual processes. From pilot schemes on cross-border data flows, to facilitated access for foreign financial institutions, to one‑stop service desks for international talent – Beijing CBD has long served as a pilot zone for institutional opening‑up. Foreign enterprises find that issues they encounter here tend to be addressed and resolved more quickly. During this year's Beijing CBD Forum annual conference, the Ambassadors' Roundtable Dialogue will establish a regular communication mechanism, and the "International Delegations' China Tour" will allow overseas business representatives and zone managers to conduct in‑depth site visits and exchange experiences. What is even more noteworthy, however, is that such exchanges are not confined to the Forum – they continue year-round here. Beijing CBD: A Sincere and Pragmatic Invitation Artificial intelligence, the digital economy, green technologies – these areas, known as "new quality productive forces," are not empty buzzwords here. The Forum includes dedicated sessions on technological innovation, financial opening‑up, law-business integration, cultural industries, and international consumption. Yet what truly deserves the attention of potential international partners is the industrial foundation behind these topics. Beijing CBD is home to the densest concentration of foreign financial institutions and cross‑border capital in China. A large number of tech companies are engaged in cross‑sector collaboration with traditional industries here. High‑end professional services – international law, arbitration, compliance – are highly concentrated, providing support for both inbound and outbound business activities. Moreover, as the starting area of the city's international demonstration zone for law-business integration, the district continues to focus on strengthening the rule of law in commercial affairs, improving its legal services framework, enhancing the resolution of international commercial disputes, and fostering a stable, transparent, predictable, and internationally competitive business environment. In the future, Beijing CBD will build a one‑stop legal and commercial service platform that integrates legal, auditing, intellectual property and other professional resources to precisely serve companies going global and managing cross‑border operations. Here, you will find that its vitality derives mainly from genuine business judgments about market opportunities. For enterprises, the cooperation logic here is predictable, commercial, and sustainable. Beijing CBD is not merely a striking poster – it is a real‑world district where hundreds of thousands of business people move every day, thousands of foreign‑funded institutions operate, and countless cross‑border transactions take place. If you are looking for a stable gateway to the Chinese market, or a high-level hub to connect global resources with local applications, it deserves your consideration. The Forum's 2026 annual conference lasts only three days. But Beijing CBD is open all year round.

New Quality, Shared Future – Beijing CBD Extends a Global Invitation for Cooperation

SINGAPORE - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - LVL Music Academy has introduced a structured beginner string learning method designed to support students who are starting violin or cello lessons for the first time. The framework brings together lesson planning, posture development, instrument handling, basic technique, and instrument setup guidance. It was developed in response to common challenges faced by beginner string students, including discomfort while holding the instrument, poor bow grip, inconsistent sound production, unsuitable instrument sizing, and difficulty building good practice habits in the early stages of learning. Unlike some instruments where students can begin with fewer setup considerations, the violin and cello require careful attention to posture, hand position, bow control, instrument fit, and tuning stability from the start. For young beginners in particular, an instrument that is too large, poorly adjusted, or difficult to play can affect both progress and confidence. LVL Music Academy's method aims to make the early learning process more structured by connecting what happens in the lesson room with the physical condition and suitability of the instrument itself. The academy's in-house luthier support allows teachers and staff to assess factors such as instrument size, bridge height, string condition, peg function, bow quality, and general playability where needed. "Many beginner students struggle not because they are not musical, but because the instrument is difficult to manage or the early foundations are not clear enough," said a spokesperson for LVL Music Academy. "For violin and cello, comfort, posture, instrument setup, and lesson structure all affect how a student learns. This method is designed to address those areas together rather than treating them separately." The beginner framework covers several core areas: posture and body awareness, correct instrument hold, bow hold development, left-hand position, rhythm, note reading, tone production, listening skills, and home practice guidance. Students are also guided on how to care for their instrument, tune safely with support, and understand when an instrument may need adjustment. The approach is intended for children and adult beginners who are new to string instruments. It also provides parents with clearer guidance on what to expect during the early stages of violin or cello learning, including how to support practice at home and how to recognise whether an instrument is suitable for the student's size and level. LVL said the framework is part of its wider effort to make beginner string education more practical and better supported. By combining teaching, instrument guidance, and luthier knowledge under one roof, the academy hopes to reduce common early-stage barriers that can affect motivation and long-term progress.

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">MediaOutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - XTransfer, the world's leading B2B cross-border trade payment platform, marked a milestone in its growing European presence at Money20/20 Europe 2026 in Amsterdam. Building on strong engagement throughout the event, the company announced two strategic collaborations with international financial institutions BBVA and Societe Generale, reinforcing its commitment to partnering with top-tier banks to modernise cross-border payment infrastructure for SMEs worldwide. <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://images.media-outreach.com/release.php/Thumb/1600x1067/775168/775168-money2020-XTransfer-Stage.jpeg" alt="XTransfer announced partnerships with BBVA and Societe Generale during Money20/20 Europe 2026." style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="1600"> <figcaption style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%" class=""> <div style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start" align="left"> XTransfer announced partnerships with BBVA and Societe Generale during Money20/20 Europe 2026. </div> </figcaption> </figure> XTransfer processed more than US$60 billion in total payment volume (TPV) in 2025 and, as of 31 March 2026, has served approximately 897,000 registered clients, with payment services covering more than 200 countries and regions. The platform is scaling as a critical infrastructure layer, connecting SMEs to secure and compliant cross-border payment capabilities traditionally reserved for larger corporates. The new collaborations support XTransfer's long-term strategy to deepen X-Net, its unified B2B cross-border settlement network and risk management platform. X-Net links financial institutions and import-export enterprises through end-to-end, cross-bank payment connections and centralised risk controls. By combining bank-grade resilience and regulatory expertise with platform-enabled digital connectivity, XTransfer aims to deliver faster, more predictable, and easier-to-automate cross-border payment experiences across major trade corridors. The initiatives also align with XTransfer's focus on addressing persistent pain points that constrain trade and cash flow for SMEs, particularly those operating in and with emerging markets. Businesses often face fragmented local collection options, limited transparency over fees and FX, lengthy and unpredictable settlement cycles, and complex onboarding and compliance processes. By expanding local-currency collection, improving FX conversion reliability, and strengthening regulated settlement connectivity, XTransfer aims to reduce friction for SMEs trading into and out of fast-growing markets, supporting a shift from informal channels to secure, compliant payment rails. At Money20/20 Europe 2026, XTransfer brought the momentum of its partnership announcements to the official Money20/20 stage and hosted a fireside chat featuring Violas Xiao, Singapore &amp; Latin America CEO of XTransfer, titled "Across Borders &amp; Beyond Boundaries: Women Shaping the Next Era of Global Payments," with speakers from BBVA, HSBC, Visa and BNP Paribas.

HONG KONG SAR - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - As climate change and evolving marketing patterns present new challenges for quarterly corporate strategies, 101 Gift, a scaled corporate service provider, released its 2026 summer corporate promotion and procurement recommendations today. The guidelines analyze the impact of extreme weather and international sports events on corporate marketing strategies. Simultaneously, the company announced its successful business transformation, breaking away from the conventional framework of a traditional <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/">gift company</a> to offer comprehensive marketing services and business solutions. <div> Climate Factors Drive Procurement Preferences </div> Industry observations by 101 Gift indicate a significant surge in Q3 market demand for practical <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/product-category/promotional-gifts-and-souvenirs/">souvenirs</a> items and promotional materials designed to tackle high temperatures and rainy weather. Based on historical market data analysis, <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/product-category/it-and-digital-gift-gadgets/portable-fan/">Electric Fan</a>, <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/product-category/travel-and-outdoors/umbrellas-and-umbrella-cases/">Umbrella</a>, and <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/product-category/advertising-cup/sports-water-bottle/">Sports Water Bottle</a> have emerged as the three core categories for summer marketing campaigns. When formulating procurement strategies, 101 Gift advises enterprises to elevate their selection criteria from basic practicality to incorporating innovative technology and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. For instance, cooling devices utilizing semiconductor technology and eco-friendly umbrellas made from sustainable materials can help companies effectively convey their green responsibilities and innovative brand values when distributing a <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/">premium</a>. Furthermore, to cater to modern consumers' preference for traveling light, the market demand for promotional materials with high portability and flat designs is also steadily increasing. <div> Mega Sports Events Drive Derived Promotional Demand </div> Beyond climate factors, 2026 coincides with major international sports tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup, which further drives the diversification of summer commercial promotions. 101 Gift's analysis points out that as the excitement around these events gradually peaks, thematic marketing campaigns in sectors such as retail, food and beverage, and shopping malls will directly stimulate a strong market demand for sports-related peripherals. By integrating sports elements into a <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/">promotional gift</a>, companies can effectively enhance emotional connections and brand engagement rates with their target audience. <div> Breaking Traditional Frameworks to Provide Diversified Commercial Solutions </div> While continuing to offer precise procurement advice, 101 Gift also announced the successful strategic upgrade of its business model, officially moving beyond its sole positioning as a traditional <a href="https://101gift.com.hk/en/">gift company</a>. Through an ongoing and deepened partnership with the marketing agency <a href="https://blueoceanss.com.hk/en/home/">Blue Ocean Strategy and Service</a>, 101 Gift has recently and successfully delivered in-depth <a href="https://blueoceanss.com.hk/en/home/">marketing services</a> to corporate clients across various sectors.

<h4>[Market Observation] From the Olympics to the World Cup: Hong Kong Embraces Ultimate "Sports Fever"</h4>HONG KONG SAR - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - Apex One Global Limited (brand name - GiftOne), a premier Hong Kong corporate and <a href="https://giftone.com.hk/en/">promotional gift</a> customization company, today released its "Hong Kong B2B Mega-Event Economy and Procurement Trend Observation Report." It analyzes the impact of major sports events on corporate marketing strategies, identifying the <a href="https://giftone.com.hk/en/latest-gifts/">latest gift</a> sourcing preferences. Concurrently, GiftOne announced the expansion of its strategic partnership network to help clients achieve a seamless online-to-offline (O2O) marketing layout during the upcoming 2026 World Cup. <div> Industry Observation: Sports Mega-Events Drive "Experiential Procurement" </div> Hong Kong is reaping significant economic dividends from the "mega-event economy." Following the 2024 Olympics and 2025 National Games, local sports engagement has reached record highs, reinforced by May's Comic Con 2026 drawing nearly 100,000 attendees. Consequently, B2B procurement models are undergoing a structural shift. GiftOne notes that corporate demands have transitioned from traditional giveaways to experiential merchandise carrying emotional value. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, market demand for <a href="https://giftone.com.hk/en/">customized gifts</a>, notably <a href="https://giftone.com.hk/en/">football gifts</a> and peripheral goods, has surged, reflecting enterprises' proactive efforts to build emotional resonance with consumers through physical mediums. <div> Data Insights: Emotional Connection as Promotion Core </div> In today's highly fragmented market, one-way advertising's effectiveness is diminishing. Conversely, highly relevant physical mediums effectively enhance brand stickiness. During tournaments, World Cup gifts featuring national team colors or event elements act as a memorable <a href="https://giftone.com.hk/en/">souvenir</a> providing target audiences with a tangible sense of participation. Data shows integrating football gifts into viewing parties, mall interactions, or dining promotions significantly elevates consumers' brand identification. Such World Cup gifts are no longer mere promotional tools but vital strategic assets for building brand loyalty and driving sustainable business growth. <div> Corporate Development: Deepening Strategic Partnerships </div> As the tournament gradually heats up, there is just over a month left until the final on July 20. To address the growing corporate demand for comprehensive marketing solutions, GiftOne announced a strategic service upgrade. Building upon the solid foundation of its existing gift customization business, the company is officially expanding its service matrix through deep collaboration with <a href="https://blueoceanss.com.hk/en/home/">digital marketing </a><a href="https://blueoceanss.com.hk/en/home/">company</a>.

KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com">MediaOutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - The Kaohsiung City Government Tourism Bureau has unveiled its new international tourism brand, "KEEP VIBRANT KAOHSIUNG." By executing a promotional blitz across Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Malaysia, the city has effectively enhanced its international profile. <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/775126/photo.jpg" alt="Kaohsiung's new international tourism advertisement lighting up the iconic Dotonbori district in Osaka, Japan." width="100%" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> <figcaption class="" style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%"> <div align="left" style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start"> Kaohsiung's new international tourism advertisement lighting up the iconic Dotonbori district in Osaka, Japan. </div> </figcaption> </figure> Kaohsiung's rising international profile is backed by glowing industry recognition. According to the travel platform Expedia, Kaohsiung was ranked the world's fourth-best "hidden gem" for value-conscious travelers during Japan's 2026 Golden Week. Currently the top-trending destination in Taiwan, the city continues to outperform international competitors in growth and traveler interest. "Kaohsiung's unique blend of mountains, sea, rivers, and harbours, combined with a multicultural vibe and a high-tech urban pulse, creates an unparalleled maritime city experience," said Kao Min-lin, Director-General of the Tourism Bureau. Kao noted that the city has consistently earned the Taiwan's highest tourism satisfaction ratings—a fact reinforced by accolades from international platforms such as Agoda and Klook.

<div> SINGAPORE - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 12 June 2026 - Enterprise AI spending is climbing rapidly, with boards racing to deploy the technology faster than they can measure whether it works. According to the latest IDC InfoBrief, commissioned by Expereo*, around 70% of organizations are investing in AI, motivated by its potential or by the fear of falling behind the competition, but they lag in disciplined ROI evaluation, and one in five (20%) admit they are investing aggressively in AI with little evaluation, driven by the fear of being left behind. <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/774986/Re-Enterprise-Horizons-2026-Info.jpg" alt="Image courtesy: Expereo" width="100%" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> </figure> </div> <div> In Asia Pacific (APAC), that pressure is even more pronounced as 37% of organizations admit investing aggressively with little evaluation – nearly double the global average, and well ahead of the US (10%) and Europe (13%). The pressure is most acute in Australia (45%) and Vietnam (44%), while in Singapore, more than one in three organizations admit the same. </div> <div> </div> <div> The IDC InfoBrief, based on a survey of 800 technology leaders across APAC, Europe, and the US, found that AI has become one of the most prioritized technology investments globally, with 51% of organizations planning to prioritize AI or machine learning investment over the next 12 months – rising to 61% across APAC. However, returns are failing to keep pace with the hype. Just 19% of global organizations surveyed say their AI implementations have exceeded expectations, and only 5% report they have significantly exceeded them1. </div> <div> </div> <div> Across APAC, 40% say implementations have exceeded or significantly exceeded expectations – ahead of the global average but still leaving the majority falling short. Globally, the most-cited reasons for underperformance are inadequate or poor-quality training data (51%), higher-than-expected costs or ROI not achieved (47%), and AI not performing as well as expected (46%). For APAC specifically, the picture is broadly similar – though costs bite harder: 49% cite poor-quality training data, 54% cite cost overruns or ROI not achieved (rising to 80% in Malaysia), and 46% say AI has simply not performed as expected. </div> <div> </div> <div> Where organizations have the right foundations in place, the results speak for themselves. Across APAC, 87% report productivity improvements in the business units most affected by AI, and 82% say quality of work has improved. </div> <div> Underpinning many of these challenges is also a network and infrastructure readiness gap. Globally, 26% of organizations whose AI implementations have failed to meet expectations cite inadequate network or connectivity performance as a contributing factor. Looking ahead, 54% of organizations say they need more flexible and scalable networks to thrive in an AI-driven environment, and 51% need greater resilience and reliability to maximize uptime2. In APAC, the gap is acute as only 9% of organizations describe their network infrastructure as fully ready to support new AI, cloud, and digital initiatives, and 37% say it will need upgrading or replacing soon. The need is most acute in Thailand (74%) and Singapore (58%), both of which rank above the regional average on demand for flexible, scalable networks. In Indonesia, nearly half of all organizations (48%) say their infrastructure will need upgrading or replacing soon. </div> <div> Ben Elms, CEO, Expereo, says: "Every enterprise we speak to is investing in AI, yet the data shows a clear gap opening up between AI ambition and AI outcomes. More often than not, that gap comes down to the network underneath. AI only delivers on its promise when the infrastructure carrying it is built to support it. </div> <div> </div> <div> Without resilient, scalable, cloud-optimized networks, even the most well-funded AI programs will struggle to deliver ROI. Getting the network right is no longer an IT decision; it is one of the most important conversations happening in the boardroom today to help fulfill AI ambition." </div> <div> </div> <div> APAC is also leading on adoption, with 35% of organizations reporting extensive AI use across the business, against a global average of 25%3. Yet adoption alone is not enough without the right foundations beneath it. </div> <div> </div> <div> Eric Wong, President, APAC, Expereo, says: "Asia Pacific is moving aggressively on AI adoption, but many organizations are discovering that scaling AI successfully requires more than just investment in applications and models. The underlying network, cloud connectivity, and operational readiness matter just as much. Across the region, we are seeing enterprises reassess whether their infrastructure is truly ready to support AI at scale, particularly around performance, resilience, governance, and visibility. Organizations that address those foundations early are generally seeing stronger outcomes and faster operational impact from their AI initiatives." </div> <div> </div> <div> Boardrooms are also waking up to the longer-term risks of unchecked AI investment. According to the survey, 54% of global tech leaders cite the creation of new security risks as a significant potential future threat for their organization's use of AI, while 39% globally are concerned about losing track of AI-related costs and ROI once the technology is embedded across the business4. In APAC, that concern is sharper still as 41% of technology leaders in the region are worried about losing oversight of AI-related costs and ROI as adoption deepens – a figure that rises to 54% in Malaysia. Digital sovereignty is also moving up the strategic agenda, with 38% of APAC organizations rating it a high or top priority as they look to retain control over data and navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. </div> <div> </div> <div> For the full IDC InfoBrief, commissioned by Expereo, "Enterprise Horizons 2026: Where Innovation Meets Reality" (doc #EUR154457526-IB, May 2026) please visit: [<a href="https://www.expereo.com/resources/reports/enterprise-horizons-2026-infobrief">LINK</a>] </div> Hashtag: #Expereo, #Network, #ArtificialIntelligence, #AI, #Technology, #AIInvestment The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<h4>Expereo</h4><div> Expereo is a world-leading Managed Network as a Service provider that connects people, places, and things anywhere.

Investor Pointe Launches, Combining AI-Powered Technology, Specialist Services, and Tailored Solutions for Private Markets

BEIJING, CHINA - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 11 June 2026 - AIVA, an AI-native mobility brand, was officially unveiled in Beijing on 9 June 2026. AIVA will collaborate with Volcano Engine, ByteDance's cloud and AI platform, to jointly define, design, and develop a new generation of AI vehicles. Volcano Engine will provide AIVA with advanced capabilities, including the Doubao AI Foundation Model and intelligent cockpit, enabling smarter in-vehicle interactions. At the launch event, AIVA unveiled its brand name and logo, introducing a development philosophy centered on "AI-first vehicle creation"—where AI comes before the car itself. It is believed that AI-native vehicles will fundamentally redefine the relationship between people and automobiles. AIVA also showcased the AIVA Origin Concept, while AIVA ME7, its first mass-production model, is scheduled to debut in 2026. The AIVA lineup will target the mainstream market segment priced above RMB 200,000. AIVA, short for Artificial Intelligence Voyage Ahead, reflects the brand's vision of AI accompanying users on every journey toward the future. Built around AI-native mobility, AIVA aims to create embodied AI companions powered by advanced intelligence, transforming vehicles from mere transportation tools into trusted partners that understand, accompany, and serve their users. When AI is deeply integrated into the vehicle, users no longer need to navigate complex menus. Instead, AI operates around human intent, making the interaction intuitive and direct. By understanding real-time context and user preferences, it can proactively anticipate needs and coordinate vehicle capabilities, delivering a more natural, personalized mobility experience. As an independently operated company backed by a powerful alliance of strategic shareholders, AIVA will oversee brand development, product strategy, and business operations. SERES Group, as a key shareholder and industrial partner, will provide expertise in vehicle manufacturing and supply chain management. CATL will contribute comprehensive battery solutions.
