Hong Kong climate-tech company highlights school-based cooling projects that connect passive radiative cooling, climate education and community action. HONG KONG, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- i2Cool, a climate-tech company&nbsp;specialising in electricity-free cooling solutions, participated in the opening ceremony of the 2026 Global Conference of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development, held from July 15 to 17 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. Ir Prof. Edwin Chi-Yan Tso, Co-founder of i2Cool, Associate Dean (Internationalisation and Outreach) and Chair Professor of Energy and Sustainability at the School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), attended the ceremony alongside Prof. Martin Y.H. Zhu, Co-founder and CEO of i2Cool. The conference brought together representatives from governments, research institutions, businesses and civil society to examine how scientific knowledge and innovation can be translated into inclusive, practical and scalable solutions for sustainable development. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder4286" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1959743/20260728050525EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2797320&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1959743/20260728050525EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2797320&amp;p=medium600" title="" alt="" /></a> </div> FIRST Programme Connects Scientific Innovation with Community Needs A key focus of i2Cool's participation was the Fostering Innovation for Resilience and Sustainable Transformation Programme, known as FIRST. Led by CityUHK, the FIRST Programme has been endorsed by UNESCO as an initiative under the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (2024–2033). Ir Prof. Tso serves as Programme Director, coordinating collaboration among academic institutions, technology companies, non-governmental organisations and local communities. i2Cool participates as one of the Programme's core technology partners, supporting the deployment of passive radiative cooling technologies in schools and communities affected by high temperatures, limited energy access and inadequate cooling infrastructure. The Programme brings together four areas of innovation: <ul type="disc"> <li>Passive radiative cooling materials</li> </ul> <ul type="disc"> <li>Low-cost printed solar films</li> </ul> <ul type="disc"> <li>Waste-biomass conversion</li> </ul> <ul type="disc"> <li>Human-powered water purification.</li> </ul> These technologies support several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, and climate action. FIRST has established a growing international network involving more than 45 partner organisations across 25 countries, with pilot activities conducted or planned in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, Vietnam and Malaysia. Hong Kong School Project Presented at UNESCO Conference During the opening ceremony in Paris, a campus climate-action project conducted at Chong Gene Hang College in Hong Kong was presented as part of the FIRST Programme's work. Supported by i2Cool, the project involved the application of i2Film electricity-free cooling window film to help reduce solar heat entering indoor spaces and improve the thermal environment of the campus. The project also included STEM and ESG-focused climate workshops, enabling students to explore the science behind passive cooling and its potential role in addressing rising temperatures and reducing energy demand. By combining a physical technology installation with climate education and student engagement, the project demonstrates how schools can serve as testing grounds and learning platforms for practical sustainability solutions. Electricity-Free Cooling Pilots Expand Across Schools Beyond Hong Kong, i2Cool has supported a series of FIRST-related school projects that bring passive cooling technologies to communities facing extreme heat and limited infrastructure. <ul type="disc"> <li>Kuzhi Yucai Public Welfare School (Chenzhou, Hunan): Approximately 830 square metres of electricity-free cooling membranes were installed on teaching building roofs. Field measurements recorded a maximum roof-surface temperature drop of 21.6&deg;C and an indoor temperature reduction of 8.3&deg;C.</li> </ul> <ul type="disc"> <li>Ren Bishi Red Army School (Miluo, Hunan): Over 668 square metres of cooling membranes were applied, achieving a maximum roof-surface temperature reduction of 32.8&deg;C.</li> </ul> <ul type="disc"> <li>Beima Primary School (Longkou, Shandong): In partnership with a Towngas volunteer team, i2Cool applied 960 square metres of cooling coatings, recording a maximum temperature difference of 20.1&deg;C between coated and uncoated roof areas.</li> </ul> The initiative combined improvements to the school's thermal environment with science education and community engagement, exploring how climate technology can be integrated into educational and public-welfare programmes. At Beima Primary School in Longkou, Shandong Province, China, i2Cool worked with a volunteer team from Towngas to apply approximately 960 square metres of electricity-free cooling coating to the school roof. On-site testing found a maximum temperature difference of 20.1&deg;C between coated and uncoated roof areas. The project formed part of a broader charitable initiative involving campus improvement, climate education and green-technology outreach. Developing Replicable Models for Climate Action Although the pilot schools differ in location, climate conditions and infrastructure, the projects follow a common approach: applying science to improve physical environments, using education to strengthen climate awareness and building cross-sector partnerships to extend the reach of sustainable technologies. Passive radiative cooling materials work by reflecting a high proportion of incoming sunlight while releasing heat through mid-infrared radiation. Unlike conventional mechanical cooling systems, the materials can provide a cooling effect without consuming electricity or using refrigerants. This approach may be particularly relevant for schools, community buildings and other public facilities in regions where air-conditioning is unavailable, insufficient or expensive to operate. Through the FIRST Programme, i2Cool plans to continue working with academic institutions, non-profit organisations, businesses and local communities to evaluate how electricity-free cooling can be adapted for different climates, buildings and social needs. Featured in UNESCO's Global Report The FIRST Programme and its related applications are also featured in UNESCO's 2026 global report, Science at a Turning Point: International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development. Published in connection with the International Decade, the report examines how scientific collaboration can help close gaps in access to knowledge, infrastructure and innovation while advancing progress across the Sustainable Development Goals. The inclusion of FIRST illustrates how partnerships among universities, companies and communities can move scientific innovation beyond laboratories and into environments where practical solutions are most urgently needed. About i2Cool i2Cool is a climate-tech company specialising in electricity-free cooling technologies based on passive radiative cooling. Founded by researchers from the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong, the company develops cooling coatings, membranes, window films, textiles, ceramics and functional materials for applications across buildings, industrial facilities, power infrastructure, logistics, mobility and consumer products. By reflecting solar radiation and releasing heat through mid-infrared emission, i2Cool's technologies are designed to reduce surface and indoor temperatures without additional electricity consumption or refrigerants.

All three developments are fully completed, pet-friendly, and ready for occupancy, with eligible international purchasers able to apply for Thailand’s long-stay programme. </div> At the pinnacle of the collection are SCOPE Thonglor and SCOPE Langsuan—two ultra-luxury landmarks defined by exceptional scarcity, internationally acclaimed design, personalised hospitality, and addresses that cannot easily be replicated. Guided by the philosophy &quot;Think Sharp, Live Distinct,&quot; SCOPE brings together Product Excellence, Lifestyle Integration, and World-Class Hospitality to create residences designed not only to be owned, but to retain their distinction and value for generations. SCOPE Thonglor: The King of Penthouse Living Only 18 families will ever own a residence at SCOPE Thonglor. Situated on prime Sukhumvit Road adjacent to BTS Thong Lo Station, SCOPE Thonglor introduces Thailand's first all-penthouse residential concept. Every residence occupies an entire floor, offering private lift access, no shared walls, expansive living spaces, and uninterrupted panoramic views across Bangkok. This is not conventional condominium living. It is the scale, privacy, and exclusivity of a private estate, elevated above one of the city's most prestigious neighbourhoods. Thonglor has long been a preferred address among affluent families, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and business leaders. Its proximity to Phrom Phong, luxury shopping destinations, acclaimed restaurants, international schools, leading hospitals, and major business districts reinforces its position as one of Bangkok's most desirable places to live and own property. The residences are designed by internationally acclaimed designer Thomas Juul-Hansen, whose portfolio includes some of New York and London's most prestigious properties. His timeless aesthetic is expressed through exceptional proportions, refined materials, and meticulous craftsmanship. Bespoke SieMatic kitchens manufactured in Germany are paired with appliances from globally renowned brands, including Gaggenau and Sub-Zero. Every element has been selected for buyers accustomed to the highest international standards. Residences are available in simplex, duplex, and triplex configurations, starting from approximately 417 square metres and THB 190 million. At the pinnacle of the development is The Trinity, an extraordinary three-level penthouse spanning approximately 756 square metres and priced at approximately THB 650 million. Created as the ultimate expression of SCOPE Thonglor, it combines exceptional scale, commanding city views, absolute privacy, and the freedom of living across three private levels. The price represents more than square metres. It secures an entire floor—or, in the case of The Trinity, three exceptional levels—together with world-class design, highly personalised service, and membership within an exclusive community limited to only 18 owners. SCOPE Langsuan: A Collectible Freehold Address At SCOPE Langsuan, only one-bedroom residences remain—making this one of the final opportunities to own a residence within an ultra-luxury freehold landmark in the heart of Bangkok. Located moments from Lumpini Park, Central Embassy, Central Chidlom, five-star hotels, and diplomatic embassies, SCOPE Langsuan stands within the city's most established luxury ecosystem. Ready-to-move-in freehold residences in this tightly held neighbourhood are increasingly difficult to secure. Land prices in the Langsuan area were recorded at approximately THB 750,000 per square metre in 2022, while more recent transactions have reached approximately THB 1 million per square metre—an increase of around 33%. This upward movement reflects the continued scarcity and appreciation of prime land in central Bangkok. The area's long-term potential is further supported by major upcoming developments, including WellEra, a new integrated wellness destination on the corner of Langsuan and Sarasin roads. Scheduled to open in 2030, it will bring together preventive healthcare, hospitality, branded residences, wellness services, and lifestyle retail within one connected ecosystem. As the Langsuan district continues to evolve, SCOPE Langsuan offers a compelling opportunity to enter this prestigious neighbourhood at a highly competitive price for a completed ultra-luxury freehold residence. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, one of the world's most celebrated architectural firms, with interiors by Thomas Juul-Hansen, SCOPE Langsuan brings international design pedigree to one of Bangkok's most prestigious addresses. Each residence is delivered with exceptional attention to detail and furnished with carefully selected imported pieces. Premium European kitchens by Bulthaup are complemented by appliances from globally recognised brands, including Gaggenau and Sub-Zero, creating a sophisticated home ready for immediate occupation. Beyond the private residences, more than 2,500 square metres of facilities create an exclusive lifestyle environment. These include a private residents' lounge, cinema, wellness and social spaces, concierge, and valet services. The remaining one-bedroom residences start from approximately 83 square metres, with prices beginning at approximately THB 52.6 million. SCOPE Promsri: Boutique Luxury with international Appeal Located on Sukhumvit 49 between Phrom Phong and Thonglor, SCOPE Promsri offers boutique luxury within one of Bangkok's most established international neighbourhoods. International schools, Samitivej International Hospital, premium supermarkets, wellness destinations, and leading restaurants are all within convenient reach. The area is particularly popular among Japanese professionals and families, supporting sustained demand for quality residences and long-term rental accommodation. Comprising 146 residences across eight storeys, SCOPE Promsri combines the privacy and character of low-rise living with the convenience of a central Sukhumvit address. Its thoughtfully planned layouts serve both international homeowners and tenants, balancing sophisticated design with everyday practicality. The residences feature premium furnishings from renowned French furniture house Ligne Roset in the brand's first residential collaboration in the Asia-Pacific region. Elegant communal lounges, landscaped gardens, fitness and wellness facilities, and hospitality-inspired services create a refined residential experience aligned with the SCOPE standard. Prices start at approximately THB 7 million for a 28.26-square-metre residence. Supported by its prime location and established expatriate tenant base, gross rental yields range from 4–6% per annum, with potential for long-term capital appreciation. For buyers seeking a completed Sukhumvit residence with a prestigious brand, accessible entry price, and clear rental appeal, SCOPE Promsri presents one of the collection's most compelling investment opportunities. ACQUA: Hotel-Level Concierge That Knows Your Preferences The SCOPE experience continues long after ownership transfer. ACQUA provides residents with hotel-level concierge and lifestyle management services, delivering personalised support tailored to their individual preferences. From preparing the residence before arrival to coordinating housekeeping, 24-hour valet assistance, private dining, wellness appointments, event planning, beautician services, and professional pet care, every detail is managed with precision, privacy, and discretion. For international owners, ACQUA provides additional confidence and convenience by helping manage both the residence and its owner's lifestyle requirements, whether they are living in Bangkok or travelling abroad. At SCOPE, luxury is not simply about having access to premium services. It is about being understood well enough that every service feels personal, intuitive, and effortless. Every residence within SCOPE Collection is fully completed, pet-friendly, and ready to move in. Buyers can inspect the actual property, experience its finished materials and views, and proceed with ownership without waiting for construction. Eligible international purchasers may also apply for Thailand's one-year long-stay programme after purchasing and transferring ownership of a qualifying SC condominium valued at THB 3 million or more. This provides greater flexibility for seasonal living, family relocation, retirement planning, and extended residence in Thailand. Programme availability, purchaser eligibility, and application approval remain subject to the relevant terms and official requirements. Whether seeking the unmatched privacy of an entire penthouse floor, one of the final one-bedroom residences at SCOPE Langsuan, or the rental potential of a boutique Sukhumvit home, SCOPE Collection offers an opportunity ready to be secured today. Availability is limited. Prospective buyers are invited to contact SC for current promotional offers and an exclusive private viewing.

SC Introduces SCOPE Collection: A Curated Portfolio of Bangkok's Finest Luxury Residences

<ul type="disc"> <li>Nearly nine in 10 Singaporeans use digital platforms, including AI-powered chat tools, to manage or seek information about their personal finances.</li> <li>Almost one in five Singaporeans who use AI tools for financial purposes have made financial decisions based primarily on AI-generated advice.</li> <li>Despite high digital adoption, trust gaps still exist, and human supervision and expertise remain crucial.</li> </ul> SINGAPORE, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;As digital adoption in personal finance continues to rise, Singaporeans are increasingly using digital tools not only to manage their money but also for AI-generated advice to guide their financial decisions, according to a recent survey by <a href="https://www.mdrt.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0000FF">MDRT</a>. Digital channels have become deeply embedded in the financial lives of Singaporeans, with nearly nine in 10 (89%) using at least one platform, such as mobile banking apps, financial websites or AI-powered chat tools, to manage their finances or seek financial information. Among these users, more than a third of Singaporeans (35%) now use AI tools for financial purposes, from information gathering to real-world financial actions, signaling a growing shift towards AI-assisted financial management. Of those who have acted on AI-generated advice or used it as a starting point, 60% say it has influenced their savings or budgeting habits. Almost half (47%) have used it when choosing or switching financial products, such as loans, credit cards or insurance plans, and two in five (40%) say it has informed major financial decisions, including large investments or property purchases. Nearly one in five AI users (19%) even rely primarily on AI-generated advice when making financial decisions, underscoring the technology's expanding influence in shaping financial outcomes. &quot;Singaporeans are increasingly comfortable using technology in their everyday lives. I'm seeing more people use AI to better understand financial concepts or prepare for financial conversations, which is helpful. However, AI is only as effective as the information it receives. It may not identify gaps in our thinking or ask follow-up questions that uncover important aspects of our financial situation. The risk is that decisions made based on incomplete information or narrowly framed questions may overlook critical considerations,&quot; said Laura Hoi, a 22-year MDRT member with six Court of the Table qualifications. Increasing use of digital tools and AI in financial decision-making While AI tools are gaining traction, established digital platforms remain the most commonly used among Singaporeans, led by banking websites and mobile apps (52%), government financial portals (43%) and financial comparison websites (30%). That said, 29% use generative AI chat tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, while 14% turn to AI-powered chatbots offered by banks or financial institutions. They mainly do so to better understand financial concepts such as mortgages, investing and taxes (54%), as well as to compare financial products such as loans, credit cards and insurance (51%). The appeal lies largely in convenience (57%) and cost accessibility (52%), alongside the ability to simplify complex information (40%) and the freedom to ask follow-up questions (37%). Usage patterns also reflect different levels of engagement with emerging digital tools across generations. Millennials and Gen Z are more likely to use AI to actively manage their finances, including budgeting and financial planning, while Gen X and baby boomers tend to use it primarily as a source of information. Consumers continue to value human expertise alongside AI guidance Despite AI's growing role in personal finance, most Singaporeans (81%) remain measured in how they use these tools, turning to them primarily to build knowledge and explore options rather than replace professional advice. Among those who have not acted or would not act on AI-generated advice (36%), the top concerns were the lack of human oversight or reassurance (45%), the fear of bias or errors (36%), and the risk of generic or automated responses (36%). Only 37% of Singaporeans who use AI tools are comfortable using them for personalized financial advice, and just 31% would use AI to review long-term financial plans, suggesting a strong preference for human guidance in financial decision-making. Those who currently work with a financial advisor show a similar preference, indicating that AI is seen more as a complement, rather than a replacement, to the client-advisor relationship. Importantly, face-to-face interaction is still highly valued. While digital communication is now widely accepted, around four in 10 Singaporeans who work with financial advisors still prefer meeting in person, particularly when discussing complex financial topics (42%), making important financial decisions (41%) or reviewing long-term financial plans (38%). In-person engagement becomes even more crucial during periods of market volatility or financial uncertainty, with half (50%) favoring face-to-face meetings with their advisors, highlighting the enduring importance of personal guidance and reassurance that direct human interaction provides when navigating critical financial decisions. &quot;AI can provide answers based on a snapshot of information, but financial planning goes beyond that. It's about knowing the questions to ask, understanding each individual's unique circumstances, and helping clients adapt their financial plans as their lives and goals evolve. I believe the future is about combining the speed and accessibility of AI with the empathy, judgment, and long-term perspective that only trusted human relationships can provide to help people make more informed and confident financial decisions,&quot; said Ms Hoi. Survey methodology This survey was conducted online by market research and insights agency Opinium between April 6 and April 9, 2026. The Singaporean survey was fielded in English among a sample of 2,000 Singaporean adults, weighted to be nationally representative based on age, race and gender.

The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the security architecture, data protection mechanisms, compliance frameworks, and operational controls governing TiDB Cloud when deployed on Alibaba Cloud. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> </div> As enterprises increasingly modernize mission-critical workloads and AI applications in the cloud, security has become a foundational requirement rather than an afterthought. &quot;Security today must be engineered into the platform from day one, not added later through configuration,&quot; said Siddon Tang, Chief AI Officer &amp; GM of APAC, TiDB. &quot;This whitepaper demonstrates how TiDB Cloud on Alibaba Cloud delivers a secure-by-design architecture that allows enterprises to confidently migrate business-critical and AI-driven workloads while helping enterprises meet stringent governance and compliance requirements.&quot; The scope of this white paper covers the following areas: <ul type="disc"> <li>Infrastructure &amp; Control Plane: Secure provisioning and automated deployment of the Regional Control Plane and underlying infrastructure utilizing Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK). This covers continuous integration workflows, strict RAM role assignments, and API gateway security.</li> <li>Data Plane &amp; Core Services: The secure initialization, management, and scaling of core TiDB cluster components (TiDB, TiKV, TiFlash). This includes the integration of data management features like Backup &amp; Restore (BR) and Change Data Capture (CDC), leveraging Alibaba Cloud PrivateLink to ensure isolated, private network transit.</li> <li>Security &amp;&nbsp;Observability Operations: The implementation of regional observability (O11y) and metering systems, secure component image synchronization via Alibaba Cloud Container Registry (ACR), high-risk privilege management, and continuous vulnerability and compliance monitoring.</li> </ul> Designed for CISOs, security architects, infrastructure leaders, and cloud platform teams, the whitepaper offers practical insights into how organizations can deploy TiDB Cloud on Alibaba Cloud securely while satisfying regulatory, governance, and operational requirements. TiDB Cloud on Alibaba Cloud is delivered as a fully managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), enabling customers to provision, manage, and scale databases through the TiDB Cloud Console, APIs, and SQL endpoints without managing the underlying infrastructure. Alibaba Cloud provides the underlying compute, storage, networking, and physical infrastructure to TiDB but has no direct security or contractual relationship with TiDB Cloud customers. Customers, in turn, are responsible for securing their applications, managing database users and access policies, configuring network connectivity, and administering customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK), where applicable. Security should be built in, not bolted on. With TiDB Cloud on Alibaba Cloud, enterprises inherit a secure-by-design foundation from day one. The white paper reinforces&nbsp;TiDB's continued investment in enterprise security and transparency as organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native databases to support digital transformation and AI initiatives.

Discussions centered on three interconnected challenges: unilateral climate-related trade measures, uneven carbon market development, and the emerging role of AI in carbon governance — topics that also foreshadowed key themes on the APEC agenda in November. In opening remarks, Piao Shilong, vice president of PKU and dean of ICN-PKU, and Hai Wen, vice chair of the PKU Council and founding dean of PHBS, underscored the urgency of building an inclusive global carbon governance system. Wang Pengfei, Boya Distinguished Professor at PKU and dean of PHBS, called for stronger carbon pricing mechanisms and market-based tools. The keynote session featured Thomas J. Sargent, the 2011 Nobel laureate in economics and honorary director of the PHBS Sargent Institute of Quantitative Economics and Finance, who noted that uncertainty should encourage earlier investment in green R&amp;D, emissions reduction, and forest conservation. Jiang Kejun, professor and head of the Thrust of Carbon Neutrality and Climate Change at HKUST (Guangzhou), identified 2030–2035 as a critical window for China's energy transition, driven by rapid growth in renewables and electric vehicles. Wu Dengsheng, professor at Shenzhen University, presented a review of carbon economics research, showing that China ranks second worldwide in publications. Two roundtable sessions examined the spread of unilateral climate measures and their implications for global trade equity, as well as carbon market cooperation with the Global South. Zhang Haibin, Boya Distinguished Professor at PKU and vice dean of ICN-PKU, delivered closing remarks, reaffirming the importance of continued dialogue across disciplines. The salon highlighted that carbon governance is increasingly shaped by trade rules, technology, and international coordination. It opened space for continued exchange between PHBS and ICN-PKU on global climate governance and China's &quot;dual carbon&quot; goals — topics that are expected to feature as APEC economies deepen their climate cooperation. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder0"> </div>

At peak adoption, Replexor Active could support weed management programs covering more than 50 million hectares globally. </div> Herbicide-resistant weeds are a growing challenge for farmers of major crops such as soybean, corn, and cotton. At the same time, regulatory pressure is reducing the number of available active ingredients, further limiting effective control options. In this context, PPO herbicides have been a reliable cornerstone of resistance management for more than 50 years. With Replexor Active, BASF extends that portfolio – which includes <a href="https://agriculture.basf.com/global/en/business-areas/crop-protection-and-seeds/weed-management/kixor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0000FF">Kixor&reg;&nbsp;Active</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://agriculture.basf.com/global/en/business-areas/crop-protection-and-seeds/weed-management/tirexor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0000FF">Tirexor&reg;&nbsp;Active</a>&nbsp;– with a new level of weed control. While most existing PPO herbicides primarily target broadleaf weeds, Replexor Active also controls key annual grasses such as Eleusine indica, Echinochloa spp., and Setaria spp. With PPO resistance in grasses remaining rare, Replexor Active adds a valuable new option for managing resistant grass weeds. &quot;Replexor Active fills a genuine gap in the PPO space,&quot; said Maximilian Becker, Member of the Management Board of BASF Agricultural Solutions, in charge of Business. &quot;Growers have had very few new tools for resistant grasses in recent years. Replexor Active addresses that directly and fits into the resistance management programs growers are already building with our PPO portfolio.&quot; In addition to its broad-spectrum activity, Replexor Active offers compelling benefits: it delivers fast-acting weed control and enables no-till farming practices, helping to minimize soil erosion. Furthermore, it is effective at low use rates, making it easier to handle while reducing the amount of active ingredient per hectare. &quot;The start of Replexor Active's registration process is another sign of our strong innovation pipeline,&quot; added Melanie Bausen-Wiens Member of the Management Board of BASF Agricultural Solutions, in charge of Technology. &quot;It reflects our position as a leading player in crop protection and our ability to translate sustained R&amp;D investment into new tools that address real challenges for growers. And with the PPO herbicide-tolerant traits we are developing, growers will have even more flexibility in how and when they apply Replexor Active.&quot; About BASF Agricultural Solutions Everything we do, we do for the love of farming.

Curious about where it came from, they followed it to Singapore — and discovered that the light was not coming from any single place. It was found in the city's cultures, nature and everyday life, and in the smiles, hugs and unexpected connections shared with people along the way. What began as a brief first visit soon became something more: a wish to stay and keep discovering the many little lights that make Singapore shine. Dreamstar Isle will become Twinkle Twinkle's first permanent home in Southeast Asia. Located within the new POP MART store at Resorts World Sentosa, Dreamstar Isle will give fans more opportunities to meet Twinkle Twinkle in person through regular POP MART Friend appearances, seasonal programmes and exclusive experiences throughout the year. Southeast Asia's first POP BAKERY has also opened at the RWS store, bringing the world of Twinkle Twinkle to life through locally inspired themed desserts. Following a Glimmer to the &quot;Star Nation&quot; Ahead of the visit, POP MART released Twinkle Twinkle's official Singapore itinerary on 21 July, inviting fans to look out for the little stars at different locations across the city. On 24 July, Twinkle Twinkle arrived at Changi Airport for its first appearance in Southeast Asia. Dozens of local fans gathered to welcome the rosy-cheeked little star, capturing its first moments in Singapore and greeting it with waves, high-fives and photos. The warm airport reception became the first light Twinkle Twinkle found in Singapore, offering an early glimpse of the connection that would define its time in the city. From Changi Airport, Twinkle Twinkle travelled across Singapore, strolling past the colourful shophouses of Joo Chiat and discovering the city's Peranakan heritage. It explored the underwater world of the Singapore Oceanarium, posed beside the Merlion and sampled local favourites at Lau Pa Sat. Along the way, Twinkle Twinkle became more than the subject of a city photoshoot. It waved to passers-by, crossed paths with fans at local landmarks and brought people from different cultures and backgrounds together in shared moments of joy. Each encounter became another small light to remember. For a group of little stars beginning their Southeast Asian journey, Singapore — affectionately known in Chinese as the &quot;Star Nation&quot; — felt like more than a fitting place to start. It seemed as though the distant glimmer had been leading them here all along. One Glimmer Became a City Full of Light Created by illustrator and designer Daxin in 2020, Twinkle Twinkle is a group of little stars, each with its own distinct personality. Innocent and curious, yet sometimes stubborn and endearingly clumsy, they tell stories of courage, love and longing. Through the characters, Daxin hopes everyone can recognise a little of themselves. Singapore was originally meant to be only a brief first stop. But somewhere between the warm welcome at Changi Airport and the unexpected encounters around the city, the colourful streets of Joo Chiat and the memories made beside the Merlion, Twinkle Twinkle began to understand the light it had seen from afar. Singapore's light did not come from any single landmark. It was found in the city's open, multicultural spirit; in the wonder of the ocean and the flavours of Lau Pa Sat; and in every smile, wave and hug exchanged along the way. The little stars decided to stay. With the opening of POP MART Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore has become the first permanent home on Twinkle Twinkle's Southeast Asian journey. Dreamstar Isle gives the little stars a year-round home in the city, turning their first regional appearance into the beginning of an ongoing relationship with local fans. A New Home at Dreamstar Isle Located within the new POP MART store at Resorts World Sentosa, Dreamstar Isle is Twinkle Twinkle's first permanent home in Southeast Asia. It is a place where fans can meet the little stars through regular POP MART Friend appearances, seasonal programmes and exclusive experiences throughout the year. Rather than marking a one-time visit, Dreamstar Isle creates an ongoing space for Twinkle Twinkle and its fans to meet again and again. It also serves as a starting point for the character to build deeper connections with Singapore and its local culture. To celebrate the occasion, POP MART has introduced a new design bringing together Twinkle Twinkle and Singapore's Merlion, connecting the character with one of the city's most recognisable cultural symbols. The RWS store is also home to Southeast Asia's first POP BAKERY. Originating from POP LAND, POP MART's theme park in Beijing, POP BAKERY brings characters to life through imaginative desserts, handcrafted drinks and immersive experiences. For its Singapore debut, POP BAKERY has created Twinkle Twinkle-themed treats featuring locally inspired flavours, including coconut and sea salt. Together, the POP MART Friend appearances, localised designs and themed desserts offer fans new ways to experience the world of Twinkle Twinkle beyond its collectible products. For Twinkle Twinkle, Dreamstar Isle is a place to continue discovering and remembering the little lights found across Singapore. For fans, it means their first meeting with the little stars will not be their last. The Journey Continues Singapore is the first stop on Twinkle Twinkle's Southeast Asian journey and the home of Dreamstar Isle — but it will certainly not be the last destination. Twinkle Twinkle will continue travelling to more countries and cities, meeting new audiences through POP MART Friend appearances, local experiences and stories shaped by different cultures. Every new place may reveal another light. Every encounter may become a story worth adding to the map. In Singapore, the little stars followed one glimmer and found a city full of light.

AG&P Industrial Launches Next-Gen 85-Hectare Module Fabrication Yard in San Pascual, Batangas, Philippines

MANILA, Philippines, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ookla's comprehensive controlled network test reveals that traditional mobile operator networks deliver a measurably superior voice experience compared to Over-the-Top (OTT) applications like WhatsApp,&nbsp;particularly in critical areas such as audio fidelity, weak signal resilience, and call reliability. The study, which evaluated the networks of the Philippines' three major mobile operators—Smart Communications, Globe Telecom, and DITO Telecommunity, demonstrates that carrier-managed VoLTE infrastructure remains the gold standard for consistent, high-quality communication, outperforming OTT voice services. Operator Voice Deliver Consistent HD Audio, OTT Apps Only Offer Fair Quality The research found a distinct quality gap in audio performance. While operator voice calls consistently delivered&nbsp;HD-grade audio quality—rated &quot;Good&quot;(scoring &gt; 4.0)&nbsp;to &quot;Excellent&quot;&nbsp;(scoring &gt; 4.3) across all three networks, OTT voice calls were rated only as&nbsp;&quot;Fair&quot; (scoring &lt; 4.0). Smart and DITO achieved higher MOS scores than Globe by deploying the advanced EVS codec, which offers superior audio fidelity over Globe's AMR-WB. Conversely, this gap exists because OTT apps treat voice as generic data packets, vulnerable to the internet's &quot;best-effort&quot; delivery. Even with operator network optimizations, OTT voice lacks the stringent Quality of Connection (QoC) guarantees. Under network stress—such as congestion, weak coverage, high packet loss, or significant jitter—OTT audio degrades noticeably. In contrast, VoLTE leverages exclusive high-priority cellular bearers to safeguard voice quality. Operator Voice Sustains HD Quality in Weak Coverage While OTT Calls Degrade The performance gap widens significantly at the cell edge, where signal strength is low. Under moderate-to-low RF coverage conditions (RSRP ≤ -100 dBm),&nbsp;operator-managed VoLTE calls maintained HD-grade clarity. Conversely,&nbsp;OTT calls degraded further, slipping from &quot;Fair&quot; into the &quot;Poor&quot;&nbsp;(scoring &lt; 3.6) and &quot;Bad&quot; (scoring &lt; 3) ranges. This is a critical finding for consumers in areas with obstructed signals or far from cell sites, proving that dedicated voice bearers protect call quality where best-effort data (used by OTT) cannot. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder6519"> <a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/3007746/image1.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/3007746/image1.jpg?p=medium600" title="VoLTE Delivers More Reliable Call Connections Than OTT" alt="VoLTE Delivers More Reliable Call Connections Than OTT" /></a> VoLTE Delivers More Reliable Call Connections Than OTT </div> VoLTE Delivers More Reliable Call Connections Than OTT Reliability is another key differentiator. The study shows that&nbsp;VoLTE has significantly lower block rates (call setup failure rates) than OTT services.&nbsp;For instance, Globe recorded the lowest VoLTE block rate at 0.47%, versus its OTT rate of 1.64%. This trend was consistent across operators, highlighting that the dedicated signaling protocols of VoLTE (like optimized SIP and SRVCC) provide a more robust connection experience than OTT's best-effort data model. The Path Forward: Building a Solid VoLTE Foundation for AI-Driven Voice As Philippine NTC mandates the 3G sunset by December 2026, the industry must prioritize comprehensive VoLTE coverage and user migration. Looking ahead, the convergence of voice and AI stands as the industry's definitive future trend. However, a high- performance VoLTE network is the vital prerequisite for this shift.

HONG KONG SAR - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 28 July 2026 - Nota Sign, the global e-signature platform of Fadada (Shenzhen Fadada Internet Technology Company Limited), has officially integrated with iAM Smart, Hong Kong's official digital identity platform. The integration connects cross-border electronic signatures with Hong Kong's digital identity ecosystem, providing government bodies, businesses and individuals across the Greater Bay Area with a secure, compliant and one-stop digital signing solution. As Hong Kong continues to advance its digital government infrastructure, iAM Smart has become an important gateway connecting public services with digital commercial services. By the first quarter of 2026, the iAM Smart mobile application had recorded more than 10 million cumulative downloads and connected users to over 1,400 online services and electronic forms provided by government departments, public organisations and private institutions. Through its integration with this digital identity ecosystem, Nota Sign has further strengthened its local digital signing capabilities in Hong Kong. Designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions, Nota Sign complies with major international regulatory frameworks, including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong's Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR. The platform has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. It supports local digital identity systems in markets including Hong Kong and Singapore and operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements, fulfilling its commitment to "Sign with Global Trust." Through its deep integration with iAM Smart, Nota Sign enables both corporate and individual users to complete trusted identity verification and legally valid digital signatures using their iAM Smart accounts. The integration connects Nota Sign directly with Hong Kong's official digital identity infrastructure and further embeds the platform into the city's digital government ecosystem. It provides government organisations, businesses and individuals in the Greater Bay Area, particularly those in Hong Kong, with a safer, more efficient and standardised one-stop digital signing solution. <div> 01 Seamless Integration with Hong Kong's Official Authentication Framework </div> Developed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, iAM Smart is a one-stop digital identity authentication platform. Its compliant digital signing framework is established in accordance with Hong Kong's Electronic Transactions Ordinance. The platform serves as a key gateway through which Hong Kong residents and businesses access digital government and commercial services. It provides trusted identity verification, encrypted security and fully traceable records and is widely used across public service applications, commercial transactions and identity verification scenarios. The integration brings together the core capabilities of iAM Smart and Nota Sign. Hong Kong users can authorise access to Nota Sign with one click using their iAM Smart accounts, eliminating repeated registration and data entry and significantly simplifying identity verification during cross-border signing processes. Users can also verify their identities through iAM Smart and use Nota Sign to sign contracts, commercial documents and official records online. Data is encrypted throughout the process, all actions are recorded and signing activities remain fully traceable, helping ensure that the resulting signatures meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements. <div> 02 Supporting Four High-Frequency Scenarios with Digital Signing at Users' Fingertips </div> For users, the integration between Nota Sign and iAM Smart creates a more convenient and trusted digital signing experience for both businesses and individuals. Whether handling local transactions in Hong Kong, collaborating across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area or conducting cross-border commercial activities, users can reduce repeated identity checks, paper document circulation and in-person procedures, improving both operational efficiency and the overall digital service experience. Nota Sign supports a wide range of high-frequency signing scenarios, including business operations, financial services, human resources, commercial collaboration and personal affairs. Typical applications include the following: <div> 1. Commercial Collaboration </div> Nota Sign can be used for local Hong Kong business activities and cross-border collaboration across the Greater Bay Area, including supply chain coordination, procurement transactions and service partnerships. Businesses can initiate cooperation agreements, procurement contracts, service agreements, supply chain reconciliation confirmations and other commercial documents through Nota Sign. Signatories can then use iAM Smart to complete identity authentication and digital signing, improving business collaboration efficiency and delivering a smoother signing experience. <div> 2. Talent and Human Resources Management </div> For cross-regional employment, businesses can initiate online signing processes for offer letters, employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, non-compete agreements and overseas or cross-border assignment documents. Employees can authenticate their identities and sign digitally through iAM Smart, allowing onboarding documentation to be completed entirely online. This reduces the costs associated with manual identity verification and paper document circulation while improving the efficiency of human resources management. <div> 3. Financial and Corporate Services </div> Nota Sign can support digital processes involving account opening, insurance applications, wealth management and corporate services. Businesses can embed iAM Smart's identity authentication capabilities into Nota Sign signing workflows. Once customers have completed identity verification, they can immediately sign account-opening agreements, authorisation documents, service agreements and other materials. This reduces repeated authentication and duplicate data entry, providing customers with a smoother and more efficient online service experience. <div> 4. Personal Affairs </div> Hong Kong residents can use iAM Smart to verify their identities and sign digitally when entering into tenancy agreements, granting personal authorisations or handling cross-border mandates. Users no longer need to repeatedly enter their identity details or attend multiple in-person verification appointments. This improves the efficiency of a wide range of digital processes and makes signing more convenient and intuitive. Huang Xiang, Founder and CEO of Fadada, said that the integration with iAM Smart represents an important strategic step in Nota Sign's continued development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also strengthens the platform's local compliance service ecosystem and regional service capabilities. Nota Sign previously established a partnership with Digi-Sign, the first commercial recognised certification authority under Hong Kong's Tradelink. Overseas users who do not have an iAM Smart account can use Tradelink iD-One, together with passport-based electronic Know Your Customer verification, to complete identity verification and apply for a digital certificate. Following the integration with iAM Smart, Hong Kong residents can now complete identity authentication and digital signing directly through their iAM Smart accounts. These two identity verification channels serve different user groups and further strengthen Nota Sign's identity authentication network in Hong Kong. Looking ahead, Nota Sign will continue to leverage its mature cross-border signing technology and compliance framework to provide reliable digital signing infrastructure for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas, Hong Kong and Macao businesses entering the Chinese mainland, and cross-border industrial collaboration across the Greater Bay Area. Through these capabilities, Nota Sign aims to establish a leading cross-border electronic signing platform rooted in the Greater Bay Area and serving organisations worldwide. <div> About Nota Sign </div> Nota Sign is Fadada's global electronic signature platform. It is designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions and complies with regulatory frameworks including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong's Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR. The platform integrates with dozens of recognised overseas certification authorities and provides electronic signature solutions at multiple assurance levels. Nota Sign has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as a SOC 2 Type I audit. It operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements and supports localised signing services such as Singapore's Singpass. The platform has also introduced a GxP-compliant electronic signature solution designed to meet international regulatory requirements, including FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11. Powered by a legal-specific large language model, Nota Sign provides artificial intelligence capabilities such as intelligent contract review and multilingual document comparison. It also supports integration with mainstream enterprise systems, including Salesforce and SAP, significantly shortening cross-border signing cycles and helping businesses "Sign with Global Trust." <div> Contact Us </div> Fadada <a href="http://www.notasign.com/">www.notasign.com</a> <a href="mailto:zenglc@fadada.com">zenglc@fadada.com</a> Hashtag: #FaDaDa #NotaSign The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<img src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/478221/44375" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="width:1px;height:1px;">

Existing shareholders including Hefei Industrial Investment, Fortune Capital, Kingpo Investment, Jinhua Capital, Zhongzhe Capital and Caixin Capital continued to back the company. The round brings together national-level long-term capital, regional government-backed investment platforms, industry investors and venture capital firms. HiDream.ai said the funding will support its development of native omni-modal world models and the expansion of its product and commercial ecosystem. The Series C follows two earlier rounds completed within the past three months, bringing HiDream.ai's total financing during the period to more than RMB 2.1 billion. With the latest round, the company has entered unicorn status. "Forward-looking judgment on AI technology and continued innovation in large-model architecture have always been core to HiDream.ai's growth," said Mei Tao, founder and CEO of HiDream.ai. "We believe the evolution from multimodal AI to native omni-modal world models is an essential path toward AGI. With this funding, we will continue building the foundation for native omni-modal world models and work with global developers and partners to expand the boundaries of intelligence." Long-term Capital Backs HiDream.ai's AI Roadmap The round includes national-level long-term capital, technology-focused financial investors and multiple regional government-backed investment platforms. The participation of the National Social Security Fund Sichuan Revitalization Sci-Tech Innovation Fund as a co-lead investor reflects growing institutional support for foundational AI technologies and critical AI infrastructure. Regional investment platforms including Hefei Industrial Investment, Xiamen ITG Capital, Yuhang Financial Holding and Hubei Yangtze River Industry Investment Group also participated or increased their exposure, providing support across capital, industrial resources and application scenarios. Existing shareholder Hefei Industrial Investment has backed HiDream.ai across three consecutive rounds, underscoring long-term confidence in the company and its alignment with Hefei's strategy to develop a hard-tech and AI innovation hub. HiDream.ai said support from long-term institutional capital and regional government-backed investors will help provide full-cycle backing for model research, product development and industrial deployment. Industry Investors Deepen Content and Entertainment Partnerships The Series C round also introduced leading film and entertainment industry investors, including Shanghai Film New Vision Fund and Huace Film &amp; TV. HiDream.ai said these partnerships will expand its access to film and entertainment resources, production scenarios and high-quality content data, supporting innovation in AI-native content production. The company has been working with Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. on next-generation content production, cinema scenario upgrades, AI-powered cross-screen marketing, and AI-enabled large-screen production standards and workflows. HiDream.ai also plans to collaborate with Huace Film &amp; TV on AI agent-assisted content creation, corpus co-development, premium content co-production and full-chain IP development. Together with earlier cooperation with Hubei Yangtze River Film Group, the addition of Shanghai Film New Vision Fund and Huace Film &amp; TV further expands HiDream.ai's role in China's film and entertainment ecosystem and provides richer data and application scenarios for its video models. From Native Omni-modal Models to World Models HiDream.ai is among China's earliest companies focused on multimodal generative AI. Built on its self-developed HiDream model family, the company has developed a portfolio of AI products and a global commercial network across content creation, marketing, and film and entertainment production. Earlier this year, HiDream.ai's native omni-modal HiDream-O1 model series, based on its original UiT, or Unified Transformer, architecture, achieved leading results on the text-to-image leaderboard of Artificial Analysis, a global independent AI model evaluation and analytics platform. The open-source version ranked first globally, while the closed-source version ranked among the global top three, positioning HiDream.ai among the leading players in visual generative AI. At the product and commercialization level, HiDream.ai is pursuing a dual-engine strategy combining foundation models and AI agents. Built on the HiDream-O1 model series, its "1+1+3" framework includes one foundation model, one Token Hub platform for standardized model capability output, and three application areas: commercial marketing, film and entertainment production, and content creation. At WAIC 2026, HiDream.ai introduced vivago R1, a multimodal creative agent with long-form video generation and editing capabilities. The "R" in R1 stands for long-horizon reasoning, reflecting a shift in AI-assisted creative production from generating isolated assets to planning, orchestrating and executing longer creative workflows. HiDream.ai's products currently serve users in more than 100 countries and regions, including over 50 million professional users and more than 40,000 enterprise customers. The company said these commercial deployments validate the practical application of its native omni-modal architecture and provide a foundation for future scale. HiDream.ai said its long-term vision is to move from multimodal AI to omni-modal AI and ultimately world models — systems capable of understanding, reasoning about and constructing dynamic environments. The company will continue advancing both large-model technology and AI agent products, accelerating the shift of AI from a tool to an intelligent partner.

HEIDELBERG, GERMANY - Newsaktuell - 27 July 2026 - It is with deep sadness that the family and the Institute for Plastination announce the passing of Dr. Gunther von Hagens, inventor of Plastination and creator of the BODY WORLDS exhibitions. He died on July 24, 2026, at the age of 81. <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/791751/Gunthervonhagens.jpg#image-791751" alt="Dr. Gunther von Hagens, Inventor of Plastination &amp; Creator of the BODY WORLDS exhibitions, 1945-2026" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="100%"> <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"> Dr. Gunther von Hagens, Inventor of Plastination &amp; Creator of the BODY WORLDS exhibitions, 1945-2026 </div> </figcaption> </figure> Gunther von Hagens fundamentally transformed the field of anatomy. Through Plastination—the preservation techni­que he invented in 1977—he created an entirely new perspective of the human body for medical education, science and the general public. He made the complexity, vulnerability and beauty of the human body—previously reserved for the dissection room and anatomical textbooks –directly accessible to the wider public. Together with his wife and curator, Dr. Angelina Whalley, Gunther von Hagens created BODY WORLDS, one of the most successful exhibitions in the world. Since its debut, the exhibition has been visited by more than 58 million people. BODY WORLDS made anatomy publicly accessible, encouraged reflection on health, disease, lifestyle and mortality, and inspired millions of people understand and appreciate their own bodies. "Gunther wanted to give people the opportunity to look beneath the skin — not out of sensationalism, but from the deep conviction that knowledge of one's own body can contribute to a more conscious, healthier responsible life," says Angelina Whalley. "His work was scientific, educational and deeply humanistic. He enabled millions of people to see their own bodies in a new light." His son, Rurik von Hagens, also honors his father's life's work, "My father never accepted that boundaries were fixed. He brought anatomy out of the closed world of specialists and into society. His courage, his perseverance and his unwavering belief that education serves humanity will continue to guide us." Gunther von Hagens was a pioneer, researcher, inventor and creator. His life's work united scientific precision with exceptional craftsmanship, artistic expression and a strong commitment to education. He was an unconventional and often provocative thinker who sparked heated debates, overcame resistance and understood anatomy as an encoun­ter with life itself. Body donation was always a central part of his work. The human specimens displayed in the BODY WORLDS come from individuals who, during their lifetime, decided to donate their bodies after death for Plastination, scientific research and anatomical education. Gunther von Hagens was deeply grateful to these individuals. He regarded their decision as an extraordinary contribution to education, science and public enlightenment. It was Gunther von Hagens' own wish that his body, too, be made available for Plastination after his death. His family will respect and carry out this wish. Despite serious illness, Gunther von Hagens remained closely connected to his life's work. The Plastination technique he developed, the Institute for Plastination, the PLASTINARIUM and the BODY WORLDS exhibitions will carry his legacy forward. His scientific and craftsmanship-based legacy lives on in a particularly visible way in Guben. There, at the PLASTINARIUM, anatomical specimens are created for use in the education of physicians and other healthcare professionals at universities, medical schools and educational institutions around the world. Today, Plastination itself is used at numerous universities, medical schools and educational institutions worldwide. In this way, the mission Gunther von Hagens began nearly five decades ago continues far beyond BODY WORLDS: to preserve anatomy permanently, to make it visible, and to make it accessible for science, teaching and public edu­cation. The family kindly asks that their privacy be respected during this time of mourning. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<h4>About Dr. Gunther von Hagens</h4>Dr. Gunther von Hagens was born on January 10, 1945, in Alt-Skalden, in what is now Poland, and grew up in the GDR. After studying medicine, he invented Plastination at the University of Heidelberg in 1977—a technique for the permanent preservation of biological specimens. In 1993, he founded the Institute for Plastination in Heidelberg, followed in 2006 by the PLASTINARIUM in Guben, which has for many years served as the central laboratory facility for Plastination. With the BODY WORLDS exhibitions, he made human anatomy accessible to audiences around the world. His work transfor­med anatomical education and became one of the most recognized intersections of science, medicine and public exhibition in the world. <img src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/478277/44375" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="width:1px;height:1px;">

Pacific Place x CJ Hendry Unveil Hong Kong's First Large-Scale juju Experience This Summer

Welcome to juju world:  Pacific Place x CJ Hendry Unveil Hong Kong's First Large-Scale  juju Experience This Summer

<div> <div> KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 27 July 2026 - UEM Edgenta Berhad ("UEM Edgenta" or "the Company"), a leading Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions company serving as the appointed Project Management Consultant (PMC), continues to drive Sarawak's infrastructure development forward. Following the successful completion of the Pan Borneo Highway Sarawak, the Company has further strengthened its project management capabilities through the monumental Sarawak Coastal Road and the Second Trunk Road (CSTR). A centrepiece of these RM11 billion mega infrastructure projects is the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge, officially launched by the Premier of Sarawak on 9 July. Standing as the longest river crossing bridge in Malaysia, this structure is more than just a marvel of concrete and steel; it serves as a critical artery designed to physically unify the state's coastal road network. </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> Behind the completed structure linking Sebuyau to Triso lies the true story of the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge – a story of the quiet, relentless engineering determination that brought it to life. Spearheaded by Jabatan Kerja Raya Sarawak (JKR Sarawak) as the project's principal team lead, delivering a mega-structure across one of the state's most formidable rivers demanded an extraordinary level of technical governance. Working in close partnership with JKR Sarawak, UEM Edgenta provided the critical project management and technical oversight necessary to execute this ambitious vision safely and efficiently. Spanning an immense 4.844 kilometers across the Batang Lupar estuary, this cable-stayed bridge crosses a major geographic barrier that has historically isolated coastal communities. The bridge forms part of the CSTR network, comprising 14 major bridges, including five (5) distinctive cable-stayed structures that have become icons of Sarawak's infrastructure development. Constructing a structure of this scale requires driving deep foundation piles into complex riverbed soils and managing hundreds of thousands of metric tons of materials. As the PMC, UEM Edgenta was tasked with the immense responsibility of navigating these challenges, which meant aligning multiple contractors, ensuring international quality and safety compliance, and keeping a massive multi-year timeline on track despite unpredictable environmental variables. Shaiful Subhan, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta, commented on the scale of this technical orchestration, "Bridging massive geographical divides requires an arrangement of immense technical capabilities. At UEM Edgenta, our infrastructure solutions are designed to handle precisely this level of complexity, ensuring that the structural integrity and project management of the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge meet the highest international safety and quality standards." To execute this, UEM Edgenta brought cutting-edge project management technology to the forefront. A project of this magnitude requires more than traditional oversight; it demands high digital precision to meet stringent specifications. By leveraging real-time construction analytics combined with drone-assisted site reporting, UEM Edgenta and the project teams maintained total visibility over the nearly five (5) kilometer span to conduct stringent quality assurance. This tech-driven governance ensured every component was fabricated and installed to exact specifications before it even reached the water. Crucially, the Company's role on the ground extends beyond immediate project delivery; by actively integrating local Sarawakian engineers and contractors into these advanced BIM and drone methodologies, the project serves as a live incubator for specialised knowledge transfer, elevating the state's internal capacity to manage future marine mega-structures. The challenges of the Batang Lupar project were not solely topographical or structural; they were fiercely environmental. The river is notoriously dynamic, featuring aggressive tidal bores and fast-flowing currents. More pressingly, the Batang Lupar Basin is the natural habitat for one of the densest populations of estuarine saltwater crocodiles in the region, infamously ingrained in local history through the legend of Bujang Senang. For UEM Edgenta, managing site safety meant rewriting the standard operational playbook. Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) governance had to extend beyond typical heavy machinery protocols to include strict maritime safety measures, tidal monitoring, and specialised ecological awareness. Achieving milestone man-hours without major incident in a challenging riverine environment known for strong tidal bores and estuarine crocodile populations is a testament to the rigorous safety culture the Company enforces on the ground. Ultimately, the engineering expertise invested in the Batang Lupar 1 Bridge is measured not only by the structure itself, but by the lasting impact it will have on the people and communities it connects. For decades, traveling between the coastal towns separated by this massive river meant relying on ferry services, a bottleneck that stifled local commerce and delayed emergency services. By successfully overseeing the bridging of this gap, UEM Edgenta is supporting the Sarawak State Government in the latter's effort to close massive socio-economic divides. The bridge is expected to significantly reduce travel times, unlock new investment opportunities along the coastal belt, strengthen agricultural supply chains, and improve rural communities' access to essential healthcare and education hubs. With Sarawak Day recently commemorated, the timing of this launch carries profound weight. Raihana Ahmad, Managing Director of Infrastructure Solutions at UEM Edgenta, reflects on the project's deeper meaning the project embodies. "This bridge is a physical manifestation of unity. For us at UEM Edgenta, overseeing this project was a national duty. In line with Sarawak Day, we are immensely proud to see how our engineering oversight has helped turn a concrete structure into a vital lifeline that will bring shared prosperity to our rural and coastal communities." These efforts were recently recognised with the IEM Pinnacle Award 2026 in the Engineering &amp; Construction category, presented by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) at its 67th Annual Dinner &amp; Awards Night. The award acknowledges UEM Edgenta's role as the PMC, working alongside JKR Sarawak in delivering this flagship project. Batang Lupar 1 Bridge stands today not just as the longest river-crossing bridge in the nation, but as a towering symbol of state pride and economic sovereignty. Behind its majestic span is the rigorous technical expertise and governance, technological innovation, and unyielding safety standards of UEM Edgenta quietly driving the realisation of Sarawak's greatest infrastructural aspirations. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> For further information on UEM Edgenta, log on to <a href="https://www.uemedgenta.com">https://www.uemedgenta.com</a>.

<h4>Award-winning Philippine digital marketing agency reinforces its proprietary growth framework with EOS to help finance, real estate, and ecommerce brands achieve sustainable business growth through greater operational discipline and experimentation.</h4>MAKATI CITY, PHILIPPINES - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 27 July 2026 - As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms digital marketing, Philippine digital marketing agency <a href="https://propelrr.com/">Propelrr</a>® has adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) to strengthen the operational foundation behind its proprietary growth methodology, enabling the agency to deliver more consistent, measurable business outcomes as it scales. <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/1600x900/790533/790533-Propelrr-EOS-AI-first-bus.png" alt="Propelrr EOS AI-first business model 16 years operational excellence" 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"> Propelrr EOS AI-first business model 16 years operational excellence </div> </figcaption> </figure> The move marks a significant milestone as Propelrr celebrates 16 years of being a <a href="https://propelrr.com/services">digital marketing agency</a>, helping organizations across the finance, real estate, ecommerce, and enterprise sectors navigate digital transformation through data-driven marketing, experimentation, and continuous optimization. While AI has dramatically lowered the barriers to content creation, campaign management and audience targeting, many organizations continue to struggle with translating these technologies into sustained business performance. According to McKinsey &amp; Company, although AI adoption has accelerated globally, only a relatively small proportion of organisations have successfully scaled AI initiatives to generate meaningful enterprise-wide value, highlighting that operational capabilities and not technology alone remain the defining factor for long-term success. "AI allows businesses to execute faster, but speed alone doesn't guarantee growth," said Francis Gary Viray, Founder of Propelrr®. "The organizations that will lead in the next decade are those that build systems for continuous learning, experimentation, and disciplined decision-making. That's exactly what EOS helps us strengthen." Addressing the Growth Challenges Businesses Face Drawing from more than 16 years of client engagements across multiple industries, Propelrr identified three recurring growth challenges that organisations commonly encounter regardless of sector: <div> <ul> <li> Trust-Based Growth, where businesses operating in highly regulated industries such as finance must balance compliance requirements with marketing performance. </li> <li> Considered-Purchase Growth, where customers conduct extensive research before making purchase decisions, requiring brands to establish authority across search engines, AI platforms and digital touchpoints throughout the buyer journey. </li> <li> Optimization-Led Growth, where sustained business performance depends on systematic experimentation, continuous testing and incremental improvements rather than isolated campaign successes. </li> </ul> </div> <div> These challenges form the basis of Propelrr's proprietary Experimentation Program, Integrated Growth Approach and <a href="https://propelrr.com/framework/">Propelrr Digital Marketing Framework</a>®, which combine customer insights, data analytics, search visibility, paid media and continuous optimisation into a unified growth strategy. Proven Results Across Industries Propelrr's methodology has delivered measurable outcomes for organisations operating in highly competitive industries. For the Palawan Pawnshop Group, the agency developed paid media campaigns that balanced strict privacy and compliance requirements for finance industries with performance objectives, contributing to award-winning marketing campaigns recognised at the Marketing Excellence Awards. For DMCI Homes, Propelrr implemented a search-first content strategy centred on the questions prospective buyers ask during the property research process, helping the developer achieve sustained organic visibility of more than 63,000 monthly organic sessions while strengthening discoverability across AI-powered search platforms. Primary Homes achieved a 619% increase in branded traffic, a 712% increase in total website visitors, and doubled new lead generation following a research-led digital transformation programme, earning recognition at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. Meanwhile, OSP International generated more than US$2 million in incremental sales after Propelrr tested 285 research-driven growth hypotheses through its Experimentation Program, resulting in conversion improvements of up to 78.12% and multiple international marketing awards. Building Operational Excellence Through EOS While Propelrr's proprietary methodology has evolved over more than a decade, EOS introduces an additional layer of organisational discipline to ensure consistent execution across every client engagement. The EOS framework establishes clear accountability through measurable scorecards, quarterly priorities, structured weekly leadership meetings and a shared organisational vision, enabling the agency to standardise decision-making while maintaining agility as it grows. "We've spent years refining how we help organizations grow," said Mitchelle Viray, Co-Founder of Propelrr®. "EOS strengthens the operational discipline behind our methodology so clients receive the same level of accountability, consistency and execution regardless of the size or complexity of their engagement." The adoption of EOS reflects Propelrr's long-term commitment to building an organisation capable of delivering sustainable client outcomes amid rapidly evolving technologies, changing consumer behaviour and increasingly competitive digital markets. As AI continues reshaping the marketing landscape, Propelrr believes the future belongs not simply to agencies with access to the latest technologies, but to those with the operational systems capable of consistently turning those technologies into measurable business growth. </div> Hashtag: #Propelrr The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<h4>About Propelrr®</h4>Founded in 2008, <a href="http://www.propelrr.com" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/generic_link.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">Propelrr</a>® is an award-winning digital marketing agency headquartered in Makati City, Philippines.

Meanwhile, Alpro Group is one of Malaysia's leading integrated healthcare groups with more than 300 touchpoints nationwide, focusing on preventive healthcare, personalized health support, and accessible healthcare solutions for Malaysian families. </div> <div> </div> <div> The collaboration reflects a shared belief that health is not limited to medical treatment alone, but also begins with the environment people live in every day, including sleep quality, comfort, hygiene, stress management, and daily lifestyle habits. As the first phase of the collaboration, both parties will focus on the growing topic of sleep health, in response to increasing concerns surrounding poor sleep quality and mental wellbeing among Malaysians. According to findings from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023, approximately 2 in 5 Malaysians do not get enough sleep daily, while studies among Malaysian working adults reported that more than 50% sleep less than the recommended 7 hours per night. Sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality have also been associated with stress, anxiety, fatigue, poor concentration, emotional burnout, and long-term health risks such as cardiovascular disease and depression. </div> <div> <div> Through this collaboration, Alpro will focus on preventive healthcare education, sleep health awareness, and professional guidance, while NITORI Malaysia introduces supportive home living solutions designed to improve sleep comfort, sleep hygiene, and overall living quality. An additional key element of the collaboration will involve support from Alpro Health, the corporate wellness arm of Alpro Group, which includes access to clinical psychology expertise, mental wellness screening initiatives, and preventive health education programs to further strengthen public awareness surrounding stress, emotional wellbeing, and sleep health. </div> <div> Building on these combined efforts, both parties are also exploring sleep health workshops, educational initiatives, and community engagement activities aimed at increasing public awareness on the importance of quality sleep and healthy living environments. </div> <div> Mr. Maezawa Yuta, Country Store Manager of NITORI Malaysia, shared: </div> <div> "At NITORI, we believe that quality living begins at home. Through this collaboration with Alpro, we hope to support Malaysian families not only through functional and quality home products, but also by encouraging healthier lifestyle habits and starting with greater awareness on the importance of sleep and wellbeing." </div> <div> Ph. Lim En Ni, Chief Pharmacist &amp; Customer Engagement Director of Alpro Group, said: </div> <div> "Many Malaysians underestimate the impact of sleep on physical health, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life. Preventive healthcare is not only about treatment, it is also about creating healthier daily habits and environments. Through this collaboration with NITORI, we hope to make supportive living solutions and sleep health awareness more accessible to communities nationwide." </div> <div> This collaboration reinforces Alpro's long-term commitment to preventive healthcare by empowering Malaysians with better health awareness, early intervention, and healthier lifestyle habits. At the same time, it reflects NITORI Malaysia's philosophy of enhancing everyday life through functional home solutions that support comfort, quality, and overall wellbeing. </div> <div> Moving forward, both organisations aim to progressively expand the collaboration into broader healthy living categories and customer engagement initiatives. Together, NITORI Malaysia and Alpro Group believe that healthier living begins with a better home environment because true "Healthy Living Starts at Home". </div> </div> Hashtag: #AlproGroup #AlproPharmacy #Nitori #AlproxNitori #SleepHealth #HealthyLivingStartsAtHome <a href="https://www.alpropharmacy.com" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/generic_link.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.alpropharmacy.com</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/alpro-pharmacy/" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/iconmonstr-linkedin-1-24.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.linkedin.com/company/alpro-pharmacy/</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alpropharmacy" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/iconmonstr-facebook-1-24.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.facebook.com/alpropharmacy</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alpropharmacy.official" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/resize-instagram-24.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.instagram.com/alpropharmacy.official</a> Nitori Website: <a href="https://www.nitori.my/" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/generic_link.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.nitori.my/</a> Nitori Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nitorimalaysia" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/iconmonstr-facebook-1-24.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.facebook.com/nitorimalaysia</a> Nitori Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nitorimalaysia" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/resize-instagram-24.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.instagram.com/nitorimalaysia</a>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<h4>About Alpro Group</h4><div></div> Founded in 2002, Alpro Group's ecosystem has grown to include Alpro Pharmacy, Apotek Alpro, Alpro スギ (Sugi) Pharmacy, Alpro Physio, Alpro Clinic, Alpro Baby, Alpro OptiSaver, Alpro Audiology, Alpro Health, and Alpro Foundation.

NEW YORK, US - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 24 July 2026 - On July 15 (EDT, GMT-4), the second semi-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup took place in Atlanta. Meanwhile, outside New York New Jersey Stadium, the host venue for this year's World Cup Final, Mengniu, as an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, unveiled a 400-square-meter Chinese Culture Pavilion created in collaboration with multiple partners. Using football as its bridge, the brand as its platform, and Chinese culture as its heart, the immersive pavilion seamlessly blended the passion of the beautiful game with the elegance of traditional Chinese aesthetics, presenting China's stories to a global audience on one of the world's greatest sporting stages. <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/1600x1067/791317/791317-1-jpg-1600x1067.jpeg" alt="Mengniu Traditional Chinese-style Cultural Pavilion" 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"> Mengniu Traditional Chinese-style Cultural Pavilion </div> </figcaption> </figure> Mengniu's Chinese Culture Pavilion Debuts at the FIFA World Cup, Showcasing Chinese Culture to the World On the pitch, a single football captures the attention of billions. Beyond the stadium, civilizations come together through cultural exchange. The Mengniu Chinese Culture Pavilion marks the first comprehensive international presentation of Beijing Central Axis since its inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and debuts at one of the world's premier sporting events. Inspired by the architectural aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture and the spatial order of Beijing Central Axis, the pavilion follows a symmetrical layout centered on a principal axis. At its entrance stands the monumental painting Magnificent Central Axis, offering a panoramic bird's-eye view of Beijing's historic Central Axis while conveying, through artistic expression, the Eastern philosophy and cultural values it embodies. As visitors explore the pavilion, football fans from around the world pause to experience its interactive exhibits, immersing themselves in the richness of Chinese traditional culture. Standing outside New York New Jersey Stadium, the pavilion continues to tell vivid, contemporary stories of China to a global audience. Beyond Football: Mengniu Elevates Cultural Exchange on the World Cup Stage For Mengniu, building a Chinese Culture Pavilion at this FIFA World Cup reflects a deeper understanding of the powerful connection between sport and cultural exchange. Mengniu believes that the FIFA World Cup is not only the pinnacle of football competition but also a global platform where diverse civilizations meet, connect, and learn from one another. As an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup from China, Mengniu sees it as both an opportunity and a responsibility to share China's stories and showcase the richness of Chinese civilization with audiences worldwide. This commitment extends beyond football. During the Paris Summer Olympic Games and the Milan Winter Olympic Games, Mengniu, as a Worldwide Olympic Partner (TOP), continuously hosted its signature "China Night" events, integrating Chinese culture into the narrative of the world's most prestigious sporting competitions. <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/1600x900/791324/791324-2-jpg-1600x900.jpeg" alt="Mengniu Traditional Chinese-style Cultural Pavilion" 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"> Mengniu Traditional Chinese-style Cultural Pavilion </div> </figcaption> </figure> Beyond a Pavilion: Mengniu's Multi-Dimensional Presence at the FIFA World Cup As an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mengniu's presence extends far beyond traditional brand visibility.

At the brand level, together with global brand ambassadors Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Lamine Yamal, Mengniu brings its corporate spirit, "Born for Greatness," to life on football's biggest stage. The company has also partnered with Hisense to launch a series of coordinated Chinese-character pitch-side advertising campaigns during the tournament. Moving beyond individual brand promotion, the two companies present a united expression of Chinese brands, confidently demonstrating the growing global influence of Chinese enterprises. In terms of corporate social responsibility, Mengniu not only brings Chinese culture to the international stage but also demonstrates the commitment of a responsible Chinese enterprise through meaningful public initiatives. At the opening match of this year's FIFA World Cup, six teenage footballers from Inner Mongolia were selected by Mengniu to escort the FIFA flag onto the field, creating an inspiring example of how businesses can promote youth football development while fulfilling their social responsibilities. From a glass of milk on store shelves to a cultural journey within the pavilion, Mengniu's World Cup presence reflects the remarkable evolution of Chinese enterprises on the global stage. Looking ahead, Mengniu will continue to leverage the world's premier sporting events to advance health, boost brand power, strengthen global presence, and fulfill social responsibilities, contributing the strength of China's dairy industry to sharing China's stories and showcasing the enduring appeal of Chinese civilization with the world.

The classic Double-Boiled Winter Melon and Frog with Dried Scallop, inspired by the celebrated Tai Shi Banquet tradition, features tender frog leg and sweet winter melon in a crystal-clear broth simmered for four hours. Equally enticing is Braised Hairy Gourd with Crab Roe Paste, where the natural sweetness of the gourd is elevated by the rich umami of aromatic crab paste. Meanwhile, the comforting Rice Noodle Soup with Geoduck and Wild Sole embodies the warmth of a traditional family banquet, while the Crab Meat and Duran Bitter Melon Soup, featured on both the lunch and seasonal menus, offers guests a refreshing expression of summer that is both heart-warming and refined.

House of Origin Elevates the Cantonese Culinary Canon with Pristine Expressions for Summer

HONG KONG SAR - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 24 July 2026 - Against the backdrop of surging global mobility and expanding business travel sectors, densely populated urban residential blocks and commercial buildings have sprung up worldwide. The cross-regional spread and rampant breeding of bed bugs have escalated into a transnational public health concern disrupting residents' daily lives and commercial operations. Plagued by longstanding technical limitations and rampant service irregularities within the pest control sector, Hong Kong's professional bed bug eradication brand Nobedbugs-HK has emerged as a global industry benchmark through self-developed technologies and over 10,000 verified service cases. Featured extensively in authoritative special reports, the brand delivers a one-stop, long-lasting professional bed bug treatment solution for households and commercial clients worldwide, boasting a 100% eradication success rate powered by its proprietary thermal treatment technology and custom pest control formulations. Targeting Limitations of Conventional Practices: Nobedbugs-HK Engineers Precision-Driven Bed Bug Remediation Solutions The pest control industry is marked by uneven entry barriers. Most traditional exterminators rely solely on chemical sprays, which only eliminate surface bed bugs. Eggs and nymphs concealed within wall crevices and furniture remain untouched, failing to resolve infestations at their source and leading to frequent recurrences. This superficial treatment model has triggered a steady stream of consumer complaints and dissatisfaction. Compounding the issue, many pest control firms lack the technical expertise and field experience to address tight spaces or cluttered environments, creating treatment blind spots that compromise eradication efficacy and introduce potential safety hazards during operations. Contrary to the industry's prevalent profit-driven, perfunctory service model that overpromises underdelivers, Nobedbugs-HK upholds its founding mission of sharing technical expertise to advance the entire sector. Its team regularly conducts technical seminars and exchange programs for property management, hospitality and pest control practitioners across multiple countries and regions. These sessions elaborate on bed bug breeding triggers, transmission pathways, scientific eradication methodologies and routine prevention protocols. The global pest control industry has long grappled with stagnant technology and outdated operational standards. Nobedbugs-HK's cross-border knowledge exchange initiatives bridge regional technical gaps, steering the industry away from crude, slipshod treatment protocols toward rigorous, science-led remediation. These global outreach efforts have also equipped the brand with an extensive international perspective and cross-jurisdictional service expertise. Driven by proprietary technological innovation and a global operational vision, Nobedbugs-HK has built its market footprint and sterling professional reputation through consistent, reliable eradication results. Its technological breakthroughs and contributions to the industry have garnered coverage from leading international media outlets. This authoritative global recognition underscores overseas markets' high regard for Hong Kong's pest control innovations and validates the city-developed bed bug treatment framework as a benchmark for global adoption. Self-Developed Thermal Treatment Technology Boosts Bed Bug Remediation Efficiency in High-Rise Buildings Bed bug control in high-rise structures remains a longstanding technical challenge plaguing pest control professionals worldwide. Conventional extermination methods are only viable for low-rise or open-plan spaces and prove ineffective against the complex structural layouts of high-rises, enabling persistent, recurring bed bug infestations. Addressing this global technical gap, Nobedbugs-HK independently engineered the world's exclusive thermal treatment system and custom operating procedures tailored specifically for high-rise complexes, delivering a transformative solution to this decades-long industry pain point. A radical departure from traditional chemical pesticide applications, this proprietary technology leverages physical high-temperature treatment to penetrate the most concealed structural recesses. It eliminates 95% of all bed bug life stages—adults, nymphs and deeply embedded eggs—to sever their reproductive cycle at the root. Complemented by the brand's exclusive formulations, the treatment creates a long-lasting residual protective barrier that blocks cross-unit bed bug migration from adjacent premises. Unlike chemical-based extermination, high-temperature thermal treatment leaves zero chemical residues, generates no indoor contamination and poses no harm to human occupants, rendering it ideal for residential complexes, hotels, office towers and shopping malls. It resolves the core challenges of bed bug remediation in high-rise buildings with unmatched precision, with no comparable technology or service available globally to date. Over 10,000 Cases Inform Standardised Service Protocols Real-world case outcomes serve as the ultimate metric for gauging technological performance. Many industry players offer no efficacy guarantees and provide virtually non-existent after-sales support, leaving clients burdened with recurring infestations and repeated service fees. To date, Nobedbugs-HK has completed over 10,000 bed bug remediation projects solely within Hong Kong, serving residential properties, five-star hotels, corporate office towers and chain enterprises across diverse urban residential and commercial environments. Backed by its proprietary thermal treatment technology and standardised construction workflows, the brand maintains a flawless 100% permanent eradication track record across all cases, effectively suppressing bed bug resurgence with zero treatment failures. Its proven track record of thousands of successful cases has countered widespread industry malpractice, earning widespread acclaim and positive client testimonials across Hong Kong's online forums and social media platforms. Beyond its core treatment technology, mainstream commercial pest control products lack targeted efficacy against bed bugs' unique nesting and reproductive traits, a key driver of recurring infestations. Generic formulations fail to counter the pests' elusive hiding instincts and rapid breeding cycles, drastically diminishing treatment outcomes. Drawing on data accumulated from over 10,000 field cases, Nobedbugs-HK independently develops and manufactures custom bed bug control formulations. Iteratively refined for deployment across diverse global environments, these safe, non-toxic and long-lasting products are widely recognised by industry practitioners as the gold standard for bed bug mitigation. The brand delivers bespoke, meticulous bed bug eradication solutions tailored for Hong Kong residents, standing in stark contrast to competing service providers that offer minimal after-sales support. Industry specialists identify two critical barriers to effective bed bug control: the stringent technical requirements for densely populated premises and the complete elimination of infestations at their source—two persistent flaws that have hindered conventional pest control operations for years. Armed with its one-of-a-kind global thermal treatment technology, in-house proprietary formulations, international operational insights and thousands of successful remediation cases, Nobedbugs-HK comprehensively rectifies the shortcomings of traditional extermination models. Beyond providing permanent relief for household and commercial bed bug infestations, the brand has established a new universal benchmark for the global bed bug control industry.

Breaking the Bed Bug Control Industry Bottleneck: Nobedbugs-HK Redefines Global Bed Bug Eradication Standards with Proprietary Technology

With a combined footprint of over 9,000 hectares, the twin developments, Vinhomes Green Paradise in the south and Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long in the north, position Vietnam's real estate sector at the forefront of next-generation ESG++ urbanism, where nature regeneration, smart governance and human-centric design converge at unprecedented scale. HO CHI MINH CITY / QUANG NINH, VIETNAM - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 24 July 2026 - Vinhomes, Vietnam's leading residential developer, is advancing a new generation of sustainable urban development with two landmark mega-projects located at the country's northern and southern gateways. <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/791310/Photo.png" alt="As Vietnam emerges as a global investment destination, Vinhomes is pioneering a new generation of ESG++ cities designed for people, nature and the future." 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"> As Vietnam emerges as a global investment destination, Vinhomes is pioneering a new generation of ESG++ cities designed for people, nature and the future. </div> </figcaption> </figure> Spanning a combined area exceeding 9,000 hectares, Vinhomes Green Paradise (2,870 hectares) in Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, and Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long (6,200 hectares) in Quang Ninh province embody the company's ESG++ philosophy, an approach that extends beyond conventional sustainability to actively regenerate nature while integrating smart urban governance and human-centered design. A New Generation of Cities Where Growth and Nature Advance Together As Vietnam strengthens its position as one of Asia's fastest-growing investment destinations, attracting record levels of foreign direct investment and a new generation of international professionals, Vinhomes is pioneering an urban development model that positions nature restoration as the foundation of long-term economic resilience and social prosperity. According to the World Economic Forum, resilient, nature-positive cities are becoming essential to long-term economic competitiveness as climate resilience, public health and quality of life increasingly influence investment decisions. The Urban Land Institute's Emerging Trends in Real Estate reports consistently identify sustainability, wellness and resilient mixed-use communities as among the strongest drivers of real estate value creation worldwide. Recognizing this shift, Vinhomes has embraced a philosophy that extends beyond conventional ESG implementation. The company believes sustainable prosperity requires continuously regenerating nature rather than simply preserving what already exists, a vision that has evolved into what it calls an ESG++ approach, combining environmental restoration, smart urban governance and human-centered development at an unprecedented scale. Vinhomes Green Paradise: A Coastal Urban Wonder in the South Situated beside the UNESCO-recognised 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, Vinhomes Green Paradise became the first Official Participant recognised by New7Wonders for the global campaign "7 Wonders of Future Cities." The 2,870-hectare development maintains an exceptionally low construction density of just 16%, allowing the majority of the masterplan to remain dedicated to greenery and water. An 800-hectare natural seawater lagoon forms the ecological heart of the development, while its 121-kilometre shoreline creates one of the world's most distinctive coastal urban landscapes. IoT, artificial intelligence and big data are embedded throughout governance, environmental monitoring and city operations to optimise sustainability and improve everyday urban management. The project integrates internationally benchmarked healthcare, education, senior living, culture, sports and entertainment into a comprehensive ecosystem designed to support every stage of life. Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long: A Waterfront Megacity in the North Hundreds of kilometres to the north, Vinhomes is advancing the same philosophy at an even larger scale. Officially breaking ground in April 2026, Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long spans more than 6,200 hectares, making it one of the largest coastal urban developments in Asia. Positioned directly alongside UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay, the project occupies one of the most extraordinary waterfront locations anywhere in the world. Rather than maximising built density, the masterplan emphasises ecological regeneration. More than 2,500 hectares are dedicated to forests, wetlands and water landscapes, including 680 hectares of naturally filtered sea, 200 kilometres of white-sand coastline, and over 660 hectares of Globe Ha Long Forest Park, creating a vast regenerative ecosystem that complements the surrounding World Heritage environment. The development is also envisioned to pursue the newly introduced ISO 37125 standard for sustainable urban development, reflecting an ambition to align with an emerging international benchmark for future ESG cities. The project features a comprehensive "all-in-one" urban ecosystem: six residential districts, including exclusive island communities surrounded entirely by the sea, are complemented by seven globally benchmarked ecosystem clusters spanning culture, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, sports and financial services. Large-scale amenities include a 60,000-seat waterfront performance arena, the Wonder Theatre, an international convention centre, extensive hospitality facilities, international-standard golf courses, a world-class marina, an integrated shopping mall, professional sports facilities, Vinmec healthcare services, international education institutions, and a new central business district designed to attract global talent and investment. The same integrated philosophy underpins Vinhomes Green Paradise, where ecological preservation, advanced technology and community wellbeing are designed to reinforce one another within a highly resilient coastal environment. Collectively, these two mega-projects demonstrate how ESG can evolve beyond regulatory compliance to become a comprehensive framework for urban development, one capable of strengthening Vietnam's international competitiveness not only as one of Asia's fastest-growing economies but also as a destination for sustainable living and long-term investment. Instead of viewing environmental protection as a constraint on growth, Vinhomes positions nature restoration as the foundation of long-term economic resilience, social prosperity and global appeal.
