SINGAPORE, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MetaOptics Ltd (Catalist: 9MT) (&quot;MetaOptics&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;, and together with its subsidiaries, the &quot;Group&quot;), a Singapore headquartered semiconductor optics company, today announced that it has notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of its withdrawal of its listing application, effective August 7, 2026 (the &quot;Withdrawal&quot;). &quot;This exercise is a key part of our Company's strategic plan, aligned with our focus towards our key market and customers in the United States. Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, recent whiplash in technological stocks' price performances, ongoing technological disruption, the need for certainty over capital expenditures and intensifying global competition for capital, as well as our obligations to protect shareholder value, we have decided not to proceed with the Proposed Nasdaq Dual Listing at this stage,&quot; said Mr Thng Chong Kim, Executive Chairman of MetaOptics. &quot;The Proposed Nasdaq Dual Listing was always a means, not an end. We remain well-capitalised, with a healthy cash balance. We have also continued to progress on and strengthen our customer engagements and our order book, and at present, we are channelling our capital and management focus into converting our customer pipeline into purchase orders, fulfilling purchase orders and building up our metalens production capacity.&quot; In reaching its decision, the Company weighed the following factors: <ol type="1"> <li>Prevailing geopolitical uncertainties and the resulting volatility in the U.S. capital markets, which has reduced the certainty and timeliness of pricing, undermined the ability to meet fundraising targets and increased execution risks;</li> <li>The pace of technological disruption in the optics and semiconductor value chain alongside intensifying global competition for capital in the semiconductor industry, and the heightened need for certainty over capital expenditures; and</li> <li>The adverse perception of Asian small-cap issuers arising from a pattern of extreme stock price volatility following the listings of a notable number of such issuers on&nbsp;Nasdaq. Whilst the primary objective of the proposed dual listing on Nasdaq is to provide the Group with access to the U.S. capital markets, support the expansion of its metalens design and fabrication capabilities in the USA and position the Group in close proximity to potential key customers, there can be no assurance that the Company's securities would not be affected by similar trading activities or schemes. Furthermore, the Company is cognisant of the importance to protect shareholder value, in view of the strong shareholders' support received since its listing on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange in September 2025.</li> </ol> The Company regards this Withdrawal as a deferral rather than a change of ambition, and the Withdrawal does not and will not affect the Company's strategic focus and operational presence in the U.S. market. The Company will continue to channel its capital and management focus into converting its customer pipeline into purchase orders, fulfilling purchase orders for its key metalens equipment and building up its metalens production capacity. The Company will also continue to expand its U.S. presence through its subsidiary, MetaOptics Inc. (USA), and the planned deployment of a Direct Laser Writer at the University of Arizona's Center of Semiconductor Manufacturing. With support and assistance from the Singapore government agencies, the Company is also in the process of establishing its maiden front-end semiconductor fabrication line with 12-inch DUV immersion photolithography equipment in the USA. The Company may revisit an international dual listing when market conditions are more supportive. MetaOptics remains listed on the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange under the ticker 9MT. Shareholders are not required to take any action, and save for professional fees already incurred, the Company does not expect the Withdrawal to have a material impact on its net tangible assets per share or earnings per share for the current financial year ending 31 December 2026. Business Momentum The Withdrawal has no bearing on the Group's business and operations, as well as the execution of its growth plans and strategies. The Company remains well-capitalised, with a healthy cash balance and is focused on continuing its path on (i) accelerating its transition to mass production capabilities as customer engagement moves into active evaluation and volume orders, and (ii) accelerating toward mass adoption of metalens technology in everyday devices: Consumer Smart Devices The Company's second generation pico projector, built around its laser beam scanning optical engine, has drawn encouraging early demand ahead of its inaugural direct-to-consumer sales campaign launch. Since the pre-launch reservation page at <a href="https://prelaunch.metaoptics.sg/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="color: #0000FF">https://prelaunch.metaoptics.sg</a> went live in July 2026, the Company has secured close to 200 reservations, with interest from Japan and the United States. The direct-to-consumer sales campaign is currently in its pre-launch phase and is expected to open for general sale in the coming weeks. In June 2026, the Company also began shipping design/evaluation orders of its metalens 5G smartphone and metalens AI smart glasses to prospective world-class customers in Europe, Japan and the Philippines, and has completed the design of a next-generation 12-megapixel colour metalens camera module which it plans to showcase at CES 2027. Broadening Customer Pipeline The aforementioned design/evaluation programme announced in June 2026 places the Company's metalens modules directly in the hands of leading consumer electronics brands, telecommunications operators and original design manufacturers in Europe, Japan and the Philippines, who are evaluating and qualifying the modules in their own development environments. Discussions with multinational customers are progressing across smartphones, AR and VR wearables, automotive sensing, co-packaged optics for data centres and biometric identification, including the tunable metalens module for 3D contactless fingerprint sensing being developed with a Singapore national semiconductor research institute. These constructive discussions are at various stages of sampling, qualification and evaluation, and commercial negotiation, and no binding agreement has been entered into to date. Fulfilment of Purchase Orders The Company remains focused on fulfilling purchase orders for its key metalens equipment, the Direct Laser Writer (&quot;DLW&quot;) and the 12&quot; Automatic Metalens Tester, over the next six to twelve months. The Company delivered its Automatic Metalens Tester to its partner in Taoyuan, Taiwan in March 2026, complementing the previously installed DLW in September 2025, providing end-to-end metalens manufacturing and testing capabilities, which further reinforced the Company's commitment to supporting the region's advanced semiconductor ecosystems. In July 2026, the Company signed an agreement to deploy a DLW at the University of Arizona's Center of Semiconductor Manufacturing, with installation expected to begin in 2027, a critical step in advancing its U.S. expansion strategy and its collaborative research with world-class semiconductor stakeholders in Arizona, and the wider U.S. market. Supply Chain and Capacity Growth The Automatic Metalens Tester is co-developed with a listed precision automation and assembly specialist, and the Company is in discussion with a leading European wafer foundry on adoption of the Automatic Metalens Tester within its foundry. Alongside these collaborations, MetaOptics is advancing partnerships covering critical equipment subsystems, wafer-level optics fabrication and the setting up of metalens mass production capacity on its 4-inch and 12-inch DLW platforms, with the aim of shortening lead times, improving yields and supporting mass production volume as design wins are secured. About MetaOptics Ltd MetaOptics Ltd (Catalist: 9MT) is a leading semiconductor optics company headquartered in Singapore, specialising in glass-substrate metalens solutions combined with AI-driven image processing. Through advanced optical design and a scalable 12-inch DUV lithography process, MetaOptics supports next-generation applications in co-packaged optics, mobile devices, augmented and virtual reality, automotive electronics and other emerging markets. The Group operates through four vertically integrated business units: capital equipment; metalens design and foundry; IoT and smart devices; and AI algorithms.

They are built on data, technology and the overall participant experience,&quot; said Benjamin Yeow, Chief Executive Officer of CheckPointSpot. &quot;Our expansion into Myanmar reflects our commitment to make world-class race technology solutions more accessible across Southeast Asia. Through data-driven insights and integrated platform, we help organisers improve operational efficiency while delivering real-time results, personalised content and a better race experience for every participant.&quot; The exclusive partnership follows a series of successful pilot deployments conducted across Myanmar earlier this year. These pilot events demonstrated how CheckPointSpot's technology could be seamlessly integrated with IM3 Holdings' local operational capabilities. The successful implementations also validated the platform's ability to meet the unique operational requirements of the Myanmar market. Under the agreement, IM3 Holdings will serve as the exclusive local deployment partner for CheckPointSpot in Myanmar, introducing the company's full suite of race technology solutions as demand for professional event services continues to grow. Phyo Myint Han, Managing Director of IM3 Holdings Co., Ltd., said: &quot;Access to proven, high-standard race technology is a game changer for Myanmar's sports industry. By partnering with CheckPointSpot, we are bringing in a regional leading race technology solution provider whose race technology solutions have already been proven across major marathons and triathlons. This collaboration allows organisers to deliver an experience that meets international standards while contributing to the continued growth of endurance sports in Myanmar.&quot; The partnership has already secured exclusive race technology solutions contracts for the upcoming SCSC Half Marathon in October and a major triathlon scheduled for December.

Himel Brings Its Residential Vision to Life Through the Global Dream Home Campaign

Recognition underscores Longbridge's pioneering vision as the world's first AI-native broker, setting a new benchmark for investing in the AI era. SINGAPORE, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;Longbridge Securities (Singapore) (&quot;Longbridge Singapore&quot;), an AI-powered online brokerage, has been named the winner of the InvestTech Initiative Award – Singapore at the Asian Banking &amp; Finance Fintech Awards 2026. The award recognises Longbridge Singapore's sustained investment in AI innovation and its pioneering vision as the world's first AI-native broker*, bringing together AI and investing in a fundamentally new way. Organised by Asian Banking &amp; Finance, the ABF Fintech Awards celebrate organisations that are advancing financial technology and reshaping the delivery of financial services across Asia. Longbridge Singapore was recognised for the AI innovations introduced over the past year, reinforcing its commitment to making investing more intuitive, contextual and accessible. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1446" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965811/20260806230714EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2834510&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965811/20260806230714EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2834510&amp;p=medium600" title="" alt="" /></a> </div> Pioneering a New Model for Investing AI is changing more than how investors search for information. It is reshaping how they discover opportunities, interpret markets, make decisions and execute trades. This requires more than adding AI to an existing brokerage. It calls for a fundamentally different model—one where AI is embedded across the entire investing journey, from discovery and research to decision-making and placing orders with investors' confirmation. That vision has culminated in the world's first AI-native broker: an integrated platform where each AI-native product plays a distinct role while working together as one connected investing experience. At its core is Longbridge AI, the intelligence layer that continuously interprets market developments, understands each investor's portfolio and surfaces timely, personalised insights. Since its introduction in 2024, Longbridge AI has generated 57.3 million portfolio updates, responded to more than 557,000 investment-related queries and analysed over 28,000 earnings reports in 2025 alone, demonstrating Longbridge's vision of AI as an integral part of the investing journey rather than a standalone assistant. That intelligence is brought to life through the Longbridge App, where investors can engage naturally through voice, text and images instead of navigating traditional brokerage workflows. Beyond the app, Longbridge Skill extends these capabilities into leading AI platforms, allowing investors to access Longbridge's market intelligence, investment analysis and brokerage capabilities within the AI experiences they already use. Building on this foundation, the Longbridge Agent Platform enables investors to create, customise and deploy their own AI investing agents using natural language, supported by a governance framework with compliance guardrails, transparent disclosures and community ratings. Together, these products represent a new model for investing — one where AI is no longer a standalone feature, but the intelligence layer connecting every stage of the investing journey while keeping investors firmly in control of every investment decision. Bringing Investing Into Everyday AI Experiences &quot;This recognition reflects where we believe investing is headed. As AI becomes a natural part of how people learn, work and make decisions, investing should become just as seamless. Our vision has never been to build another AI assistant, but to embed trusted investing intelligence into the AI experiences people already use, making investing more intuitive, more contextual and more accessible,&quot;&nbsp;Gavin Chia, CEO of Longbridge Securities Singapore and Southeast Asia, said. &quot;For investors in Singapore, that means institutional-grade investing capabilities delivered through experiences that feel natural, trusted and always keep them in control of every investment decision,&quot; Chia added. The recognition comes amid continued business momentum for Longbridge. In 2025, the platform introduced more than 110 new features across 16 product releases, including multi-leg options strategies and recurring investments for US fractional shares. User assets grew 220% year on year in 2025, following 450% growth in 2024, while the global user base expanded 120%. Total notional trading volume reached US$1.5 trillion across 55.7 million orders processed, and Longbridge ranked among Hong Kong's fastest-growing fintech brokerages for two consecutive years.

Longbridge Singapore wins "InvestTech Initiative Award - Singapore" at the Asian Banking & Finance Fintech Awards 2026

DJI and Cannes-honored Icon Isabelle Reunite Two Women's Voices Across Centuries — Shot Entirely on the Osmo Pocket 4P SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, unveiled FAMILIARIT&Eacute;, an original short video starring and creatively directed by Isabelle Huppert, and shot in its entirety on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. More than a technology showcase, the video is a meditation on literature, memory, and the quiet familiarity that connects women across time and culture — and a demonstration of how a camera that fits in the palm of a hand can now carry the full weight of cinematic storytelling. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder7577" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965358/20260806085633EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2833229&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965358/20260806085633EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2833229&amp;p=medium600" title="FAMILIARIT&Eacute; | Isabelle Huppert &times; DJI Osmo Pocket 4P" alt="FAMILIARIT&Eacute; | Isabelle Huppert &times; DJI Osmo Pocket 4P" /></a> FAMILIARIT&Eacute; | Isabelle Huppert &times; DJI Osmo Pocket 4P </div> When Two Uncompromising Visions Meet It all began with Isabelle Huppert and DJI's shared vision together: an uncompromising devotion to the image — to what can be seen, felt, and left unsaid on screen. Across a career spanning more than 120 films, multiple Best Actress honors at Cannes and Venice, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award nomination, Isabelle Huppert has become synonymous with what she conveys without words — the wordless gaze, the restrained micro-expression, emotion delivered through the subtlest of means. DJI has spent its history pursuing a parallel goal from the engineering side: to capture the finest nuance of light and motion in ever more capable, ever more unobtrusive tools. In FAMILIARIT&Eacute;, those two pursuits came together. Stepping behind the camera, Isabelle Huppert shaped not only her performance but the video's visual language — and chose the Osmo Pocket 4P as the instrument to realize it. Discreet and lightweight, the camera all but disappeared on set, letting her work in her most relaxed, unguarded state and giving the production a creative freedom that heavier, more imposing rigs rarely allow. For Isabelle Huppert, encountering the camera for the first time was a discovery in itself. &quot;It's the first time I've discovered such a tiny camera — truly quite extraordinary,&quot; she recalls. &quot;It's almost invisible, and yet it reproduces an image of extraordinary sharpness and precision. Above all, it conveys so well the emotion of a face, and what was happening between us, between my partner and me.&quot; Far from feeling like an intimidating machine, she notes, it never altered her craft — it remained, simply, a camera. In FAMILIARIT&Eacute;, technology does not command the performance; it liberates it. Two Voices, One Familiar Echo FAMILIARIT&Eacute; takes its form not from plot, but from poetry. It is a conversation across time between two women who never met, yet each turned a life into the written word. George Sand (1804–1876) claimed her voice in 19th-century France by writing under a man's name — a defiance that Isabelle Huppert honors in the video by wearing a man's tailored suit. Centuries earlier and a world away, the Song-dynasty poet Li Qingzhao (1084–c.1155) resisted the upheavals of her age through the enduring force of her verse. Both women transformed the pain of a life into language that outlived them. FAMILIARIT&Eacute; draws these two souls together in light and shadow. George Sand's &quot;&Agrave; Aurore&quot; runs through the video like a thread, and the encounter culminates in a single, wordless exchange between Isabelle and a young Chinese girl — an echo of familiarity that crosses both time and culture. Shot amid the shifting sunlight, tree shadows, and water surfaces of a traditional Chinese garden, the video preserves a poetic, almost extraordinary atmosphere in perfect connection with George Sand's verse. This is not merely a &quot;meeting.&quot; It is a visual narrative about women, expression, and freedom. A Cinematic Language, Built Entirely in the Palm of a Hand The video's artistic ambition is realized through a deliberate cinematographic language made possible by the Osmo Pocket 4P — its dual lenses becoming the video's own way of seeing. Again and again, the production found that scenes conceived on the page could be captured precisely because the camera was small enough to go where a full-size cinema rig could not. A conversation on the water. One of the video's most intimate exchanges unfolds between Isabelle and her co-star aboard a small rowboat drifting across the garden's pond. Fitting a traditional cinema camera and its crew into so confined and unsteady a space would have been impossible without breaking the moment. The Osmo Pocket 4P, by contrast, sat naturally within the boat, keeping the two performers close and the frame alive with the gentle motion of the water. Fluidity, carried by hand. Much of the video lives in continuous, moving shots — drifting past figures, tree shadows, bookshelves and door frames, so that every transition becomes a quiet, deliberate gesture. A large share of these were captured handheld by the DP. Thanks to the camera's pocketable size and 3-axis mechanical stabilization, the operator could move freely and reset between setups in seconds, keeping takes smooth and lifting the pace of the shoot considerably. Wide latitude for high-contrast light. The garden setting is full of extreme contrast — bright highlights beside deep, layered shadows, on both the scenery and the human face. With D-Log2 and 17 stops of dynamic range, the Osmo Pocket 4P preserved the full gradation of that light, giving the colorist ample latitude in post and making even the most demanding lighting worry-free. A portrait lens for the face. To draw the eye toward Isabelle Huppert's most delicate expressions, the production turned to the 60mm telephoto — a natural portrait focal length that renders skin cleanly and true, without the distortion of a wide lens, compressing space so that the faintest shift of expression reads with clarity. Wider perspectives (15mm / 20mm) place each character within her space, so that every movement becomes a shift in time and dimension. Bound together by that stabilization and range of focal lengths, these perspectives flow as one unbroken motion — and in its remarkably discreet, pocketable form, the Osmo Pocket 4P let the production work closely and intimately with its lead, capturing performance-driven storytelling once reserved for large crews and heavy equipment. It reaffirms DJI's mission: to place uncompromising imaging power in the hands of every storyteller — and to prove that the size of a camera need never limit the scale of a story. Bringing the Video to a Global Audience FAMILIARIT&Eacute; has been released across DJI's official channels accompanied by behind-the-scenes material and creator-focused content exploring both Isabelle Huppert's artistry and the creative potential of the Osmo Pocket 4P.

Cision Wins 2026 MarTech Breakthrough Awards for Social Listening, Press Release Distribution, and AEO

NAPLES, Italy, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion's DV3504 hybrid tractor has been shortlisted for two categories of the prestigious Tractor of the Year 2027 (TOTY 2027) awards: HighPower (300 hp and above) and Sustainable. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965348/20260806084338EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2833158&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965348/20260806084338EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2833158&amp;p=medium600" title="" alt="" /></a> </div> Launched in 1998 and independently organised by Italy's agricultural machinery publication Trattori, TOTY is one of the most recognised professional awards in the global agricultural machinery industry. The 2027 edition attracted 23 tractors from 18 global brands, with evaluations conducted by an international jury of 26 independent agricultural machinery journalists from 25 countries. The dual-category nomination represents a milestone for Chinese agricultural machinery. The DV3504 is the first Chinese high-horsepower tractor to enter the TOTY shortlist since the award's establishment, breaking a long-standing gap for Chinese heavy-duty tractors in this globally influential competition. It is also the first Chinese high-horsepower agricultural machine recognised by an international independent jury for its original hybrid and low-carbon technology solution. Developed to meet the demands of large-scale farming operations, the DV3504 delivers 350 hp and is equipped with Zoomlion's self-developed MiDD (Meshed intelligent Direct Drive) distributed intelligent electric drive system. Based on a multi-motor direct-drive architecture, the system independently powers the tractor's travel, PTO and hydraulic functions, enabling modular continuously variable transmission while reducing mechanical transmission components by approximately 70%. Unlike pure electric solutions that still face challenges in endurance and continuous high-load operation for heavy-duty agricultural applications, hybrid technology provides a balance of long operating range, strong power output and energy efficiency. The DV3504 reflects Zoomlion's strategic focus on hybrid power and intelligent technologies for premium agricultural equipment. Leveraging technological capabilities accumulated from its construction machinery business, including new energy systems, intelligent control and advanced manufacturing, Zoomlion is accelerating the transformation of agricultural machinery toward higher performance and sustainability. Following its debut at AGRITECHNICA 2025 in Hanover, Germany, Zoomlion has achieved a significant step forward in its global agricultural machinery expansion — moving from an international exhibitor to a shortlisted contender in a leading global industry award within one year. The final winners of TOTY 2027 will be announced at EIMA International in Bologna in November 2026.

It is also LONGi's second major move into global sport this year, following its partnership with the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026, and deepens a long-term commitment to the region at the heart of the global energy transition. The partnership was launched on stage by Zhong Baoshen, Chairman and General Manager of LONGi; Rouven Kasper, Board Member for Marketing &amp; Sales, FC Bayern; Charles Jiang, Vice President of LONGi, President of the PV Product Management Center; and FC Bayern legend Roy Makaay. &quot;POWER ON, GAME ON&quot; is more than the slogan of a launch day. It gives the two partners a simple shared language: POWER ON carries LONGi's side, clean energy for power plants, businesses and homes; GAME ON carries FC Bayern's, the passion of the game and fans across the world. Going forward, &quot;POWER ON, GAME ON&quot; will serve as the unifying message across the partnership's joint campaigns, content and fan engagement, a shared expression of what LONGi and FC Bayern set out to achieve together. The world's No.1 solar module maker meets football's record champions Founded in 1900, FC Bayern has grown into one of the most successful and widely followed clubs in world football, defined by its &quot;Mia san Mia&quot; identity and a standard of performance sustained across more than a century. Founded in 2000, LONGi has spent more than 26 years holding solar technology to the same standard. Its crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell holds the world record for conversion efficiency at 35.5%, and it has retained PV Tech's highest &quot;AAA&quot; bankability rating for 26 consecutive quarters. The partnership pairs that record of technology leadership with a sport built on emotion, loyalty and everyday relevance. Solar advances through lab results and decimal points; football lives in rituals, rivalries and weekend afternoons. Where the two meet, LONGi's engineering finds a place in daily life, and the game finds a partner building the future its fans will live in. Behind the theme stands the full breadth of LONGi's business, with solutions spanning utility-scale power plants, commercial and industrial projects, and residential systems. Energy reaches people wherever they live and work, much as football reaches fans wherever they are. That connection to people is what LONGi's mission and FC Bayern's spirit have in common, and what this partnership is built on. &quot;FC Bayern and LONGi come from different worlds, but we are driven by the same instinct: keep improving, keep challenging ourselves, and never treat one achievement as the end. Football connects millions of people, and energy touches every one of them.&quot; said Zhong Baoshen, Chairman and General Manager of LONGi. &quot;FC Bayern is synonymous with excellence on the pitch. Alongside LONGi, we're united by a shared drive for excellence and a genuine commitment to building a more sustainable future. We look forward to partnering with this global industry leader to keep renewable energy firmly in the spotlight.&quot; said Rouven Kasper, Board Member for Marketing &amp; Sales, FC Bayern. That drive runs through everything LONGi makes. From world records to everyday products LONGi's portfolio spans the full range of solar applications, from utility-scale power plants to businesses and homes. Every product is held to the standard that set those records, engineered to be dependable in everyday use. &quot;Every LONGi product starts from the same question: how to turn the best solar technology into something customers can rely on every day. That discipline runs through the whole portfolio, from the modules powering the world's largest solar plants to EcoLife, our home energy series. Products are where our technology keeps its promises.&quot; said Charles Jiang, Vice President of LONGi, President of the PV Product Management Center. Beyond performance and products, the two are united by a commitment to sustainability. From &quot;Mia san Mia&quot; to &quot;Solar for Solar&quot; Through its &quot;Solar for Solar&quot; concept, LONGi is advancing toward net-zero emissions by 2050 and accelerating the clean energy transition. FC Bayern, through its &quot;Mitnand&quot; strategy, integrates environmental and social responsibility across the club. The partners will explore opportunities to bring LONGi's solar solutions into the club's own sustainability efforts, with potential applications across training facilities and stadium infrastructure. Details of joint initiatives and fan-facing activities will be announced in due course.

Featuring the world's largest single AI data center building, Galaxy Campus integrates renewable energy, intelligent power management and high-density computing at unprecedented scale. ULANQAB, China, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Envision, a global leader in green technology, today announced the commissioning of the Envision Galaxy Campus in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, a next-generation AI infrastructure campus designed to accelerate the deployment of large-scale artificial intelligence. Powered directly by renewable energy and designed to scale to over 2GW of capacity, the campus in Ulanqab introduces a new approach to meeting the growing energy and infrastructure demands of AI. At the heart of the campus is a 120,000-square-meter AI supercomputing facility, equivalent to 20 standard football pitches. Once fully operational, it is designed to deliver industry-leading token-generation capacity within a single structure, supported by directly connected renewable electricity and Envision's proprietary&nbsp;AI Power System. At full build-out, the facility&nbsp;is designed to deliver one million PFLOPS of AI computing and support up to one million AI accelerators, setting a new benchmark for compute density in AI infrastructure. &quot;Supporting a million accelerators requires a purpose-built AI Power System that integrates renewable generation, dedicated transmission infrastructure, and large-scale energy storage to deliver stable, low-cost green power,&quot; said Ricky&nbsp;Zheng, General Manager of Envision's AIDC (AI Data Center). &quot;This enables the facility to deliver up to ten times more compute output per square meter than conventional data centers.&quot; Beyond power, Envision Galaxy Campus addresses another critical requirement for large-scale, low-latency connectivity. Ulanqab's position as a major digital infrastructure hub provides the network performance required for AI clusters containing hundreds of thousands of accelerators. The region's abundant wind and solar resources provide a complementary advantage. By combining dedicated renewable energy assets, transmission infrastructure and AI-optimized power management, Envision has created a new model for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure powered directly by green electricity. &quot;The next frontier of AI is infrastructure,&quot; added Zheng. &quot;As AI models become larger and more compute-intensive, the limiting factors are increasingly power availability, network performance and energy efficiency. Envision Galaxy Campus combines energy, networking and physical infrastructure at unprecedented scale, enabling hyperscalers, technology companies and AI innovators to deploy and scale the next generation of AI workloads.&quot; The Galaxy Campus serves as the first flagship project under Envision's global Mission Gobi initiative, which was unveiled at VivaTech in Paris in June 2026. The initiative aims to build 5GW of green AI computing capacity in desert and arid regions worldwide by 2030. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder6693" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965205/20260806050031EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2831616&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1965205/20260806050031EDT_image_1.jpg?id=OA2831616&amp;p=medium600" title="Envision Galaxy Campus&nbsp;in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia" alt="Envision Galaxy Campus&nbsp;in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia" /></a> Envision Galaxy Campus&nbsp;in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia </div> &nbsp; <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder0"> </div>

SANY's equipment will provide a solid foundation for safe and efficient port operations, helping us better serve our customers and contribute to regional economic growth.&quot; Zhou Guoyuan, Chairman of SANY Marine, stated that the agreement represents another milestone in SANY's global expansion strategy. He added that SANY will continue leveraging its expertise in port and logistics equipment to help customers improve operational efficiency. &nbsp; Dual Electric Loader Lineup Supports Thailand's Rice Industry Thailand produces more than 20 million tons of milled rice annually, with exports consistently ranking among the world's top three. Rice mills face demanding conditions, including high dust levels, continuous operations and busy work environments, requiring equipment with strong environmental performance, low noise and reliable all-day performance. The SW970E EWL was designed for rice mill operations, featuring extended runtime, zero emissions, low noise and enhanced protection. The customer subsequently placed an additional order for 50 SW956E electric wheel loaders. Together, the SW956E and SW970E will handle material movement throughout the rice production process—from primary processing through final packaging—while accelerating the adoption of electric equipment across Thailand's rice industry. Looking ahead, SANY will continue expanding into global markets with efficient, environmentally responsible products that help drive the transition to more sustainable industrial operations. <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder2" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; WIDTH: 100%"> <a href="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1882509/20260714041142EDT_image_2.jpg?id=OA2831144&amp;p=medium600" target="_blank" style="color: #0000FF"><img src="https://mmx.prnasia.com/media/MS1882509/20260714041142EDT_image_2.jpg?id=OA2831144&amp;p=medium600" title="SANY Group" alt="SANY Group" /></a> SANY Group </div>

HANOI, VIETNAM - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 7 August 2026 - As global institutional capital increasingly redefines value creation in real estate, Vinhomes, Vietnam's largest listed real estate developer by market capitalization, is emerging as a credible long-term urban development platform. <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/795357/Photo.png" alt="An aerial perspective of Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, illustrating the integration of modern urban infrastructure with active ecological restoration to foster long-term environmental resilience." 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"> An aerial perspective of Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, illustrating the integration of modern urban infrastructure with active ecological restoration to foster long-term environmental resilience. </div> </figcaption> </figure> With a land bank exceeding 295 million square meters, nearly 650,000 residents across its integrated townships, and record equivalent revenue of VND183.1 trillion (US$6.94 billion) in 2025, the company has demonstrated its capacity to plan, finance, deliver and operate large-scale cities with remarkable consistency. For more than two millennia, humanity has celebrated its greatest achievements through the idea of "wonders," from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to the New7Wonders of Nature, which in 2011 recognized sites such as the Amazon Rainforest and Vietnam's own Ha Long Bay for their untouched natural beauty. Today, a fourth wave is emerging: one defined not by human creations set apart from nature, nor by landscapes left untouched, but by developments where urbanization actively enhances natural ecosystems. This philosophy, combined with Vinhomes' operational scale, has positioned the company at the forefront of that shift, offering global institutional investors a proven model that is gaining recognition across Asia. Nature-Positive Development Defines Vinhomes' Urban Philosophy At the core of Vinhomes' approach is a fundamental departure from traditional real estate development; the company approaches urban development as an integrated process of environmental enhancement, infrastructure creation and community building. This philosophy is evident across several landmark projects. At Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, built on reclaimed coastal land, modern infrastructure coexists with active ecological restoration, creating new living environments while supporting long-term environmental resilience. At Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long, the urban masterplan has been designed specifically to complement the UNESCO-recognized Ha Long Bay, one of the world's most celebrated natural wonders, creating a space where urban life and natural heritage mutually enrich one another. For institutional investors, this nature-positive orientation reflects a broader strategic shift. Long-term capital is increasingly flowing toward developers capable of creating urban ecosystems that generate value over decades, not merely delivering projects on a transactional basis. Vinhomes' ability to embed sustainability, ecological regeneration and climate resilience into its masterplans aligns with the evolving expectations of global asset owners seeking both financial returns and environmental impact. Proven Execution And Operational Scale Build Investor Confidence In real estate, vision carries little weight without the ability to execute. This is where Vinhomes has established one of its strongest competitive advantages. While many developers concentrate their portfolios within a limited number of cities or regions, Vinhomes has successfully replicated its large-scale urban development model across Vietnam, delivering integrated townships from north to south while maintaining consistent quality, execution speed and operational standards. The company's 2025 performance underscores this capability. By year-end, Vinhomes had delivered more than 34,000 apartments, villas and shophouses, achieving record equivalent revenue of VND183.1 trillion (US$6.94 billion), a 29% year-on-year increase that exceeded its annual target. Net profit reached VND43.3 trillion (US$1.6 billion), up 24%, while sales bookings nearly doubled to VND205.3 trillion (US$7.9 billion). Unrecognized contracted sales of VND186.4 trillion (US$7.1 billion) provide exceptional revenue visibility for the years ahead. Beyond financial metrics, Vinhomes' operational scale is evidenced by nearly 650,000 residents now living across its developments nationwide, forming one of Southeast Asia's largest integrated residential communities. This scale demonstrates not only the company's ability to build projects but also its capacity to create functioning urban ecosystems capable of sustaining long-term economic and social activity. The company's land bank, exceeding 295 million square meters as of December 31, 2025, represents Vietnam's largest and is strategically positioned across major metropolitan areas and regions benefiting from accelerating urbanization, industrial development and tourism growth. This extensive reserve provides a substantial pipeline for future development while supporting sustainable long-term growth. Vinhomes' operational excellence is further validated by internationally recognized certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and SA8000, reflecting global standards in quality management, environmental performance, occupational health and safety, and social responsibility. The company's market position, Vietnam's largest listed real estate company by market capitalization at approximately US$19.4 billion, and the country's second-largest listed enterprise overall, reinforces its institutional credibility. Its brand, valued at an estimated US$1.6 billion by Brand Finance, ranks among Vietnam's Top 10 Most Valuable Brands. For international investors, these indicators point to something larger than financial success alone. They reflect a company that has evolved beyond traditional real estate development into a trusted urban development platform, one capable of planning, financing, delivering and operating large-scale cities with remarkable consistency. If the first three waves of human wonders celebrated extraordinary achievements of engineering or nature, the emerging fourth wave may well be defined by developments that elevate nature itself, creating places where environmental restoration, economic growth and human prosperity reinforce one another. That vision demands proven execution, long-term thinking and institutional credibility. These qualities explain why an increasing number of global investors are viewing Vinhomes as one of Asia's most compelling long-term urban development platforms.

Sentosa GrillFest 2026 Returns with Its Largest Line-Up Yet: 42 Food Vendors, First-Ever Omakase-Inspired Beachfront Dining and Returning Crowd Favourites

<h4>Mentored by Industry Masters and Winner of the iF Design Award, Andrew Unlocks a New Paradigm for High-Net-Worth Residential and Diverse Commercial Spaces from an Eastern Aesthetic Perspective</h4>HONG KONG SAR – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 7 August 2026 – As spatial aesthetics and lifestyle philosophies continue to converge across the Greater Bay Area, academic discourse and talent exchange within the interior design sectors of Hong Kong and Mainland China have reached a pivotal milestone. On the evening of July 3, the CIID Hong Kong Inaugural Gala Dinner, themed "AI x ESG," took place at Lake House in Tai Po. During the event, the CIID Interior Architecture Design Exchange Center, one of the most authoritative academic bodies in China's interior design industry, officially licensed the designation to "CIID Hong Kong," marking the formal recognition of its official preparatory branch in Hong Kong by the headquarters. <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/1600x2400/795104/795104-IMG-6633-jpg-1600x2400.jpeg" alt="Mr. Andrew Lam, Founder of am PLUS DESIGNS, was officially appointed Vice Chairman of the CIID Hong Kong Center" 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"> Mr. Andrew Lam, Founder of am PLUS DESIGNS, was officially appointed Vice Chairman of the CIID Hong Kong Center </div> </figcaption> </figure> At this grand gathering of industry luminaries, Mr. Andrew Lam, Founder of am PLUS DESIGNS, a premier Hong Kong interior design firm, was officially appointed Vice Chairman of the CIID Hong Kong Centre. This prestigious industry title serves as a resounding endorsement of Andrew's years of deep cultivation in spatial design and his exceptional international vision. Moving forward, he will work side by side with industry titans—including Mr. Joey Ho, Chairman of the CIID Hong Kong, and Mr. Steve Leung, Honorary Advisor—to co-author a new chapter of integration and synergy for design forces in the Greater Bay Area. Prestigious Lineage and Artisan Foundation: Refining Eastern Aesthetics Through Structural Space The calibre of an outstanding designer is often defined at the inception of their career. Andrew began his journey from an exceptional vantage point, studying under Mr. Kenneth Ko, widely venerated as the "Father of Modern Chinese Interior Design." Imbued with Ko's design philosophy, Andrew developed a profound understanding of spatial essence: infusing physical architecture with human warmth while allowing functional utility and cultural depth to complement one another. His subsequent encounters with master designer Steve Leung on the professional CIID platform further bolstered his industry standing and provided enduring inspiration. To explore the broader possibilities of serene Eastern aesthetics within a contemporary context, Andrew pursued advanced studies in Japan earlier in his career, training under prominent local practitioners. He continuously contemplated how to harmonize the grand inclusivity of traditional Chinese culture with the understated restraint of Japanese mono no aware and yugen. Within Hong Kong's densely populated urban landscape, he set out to construct poetic sanctuaries where human warmth and architectural soul harmoniously coexist. "Contemporary design is no longer about the ostentatious stacking of lavish materials; it is about providing a sanctuary for the mind, body, and soul within a space," Andrew explains. In his practice, the spiritual essence of traditional Eastern architecture is distilled into serene, restrained structural space and quiet aesthetics. Unbound by the constraints of any single regional style, he returns to the philosophical core of "exquisite simplicity without excess." Through capturing natural light and shadow, highlighting the raw authenticity of wood and stone, and utilizing minimalist lines, he sculpts an understated beauty rich in Eastern philosophy. Andrew's meticulous craftsmanship and pursuit of this design philosophy have earned him top-tier global acclaim. Designed by the am PLUS team, the "St Michel" residential project stood out among nearly 11,000 entries from 72 countries to win the prestigious German <a href="https://ifdesign.com/en/winner-ranking/project/st-michel-residential-immersed-a-forest-retreat/633948">iF Design Award 2024</a> in the Residential Interior Design category. Known as the "Oscar of Design," the iF Design Award is judged by a panel of 132 independent global design experts. Receiving this honor signifies that am PLUS's design prowess, blending international aesthetic refinement with exceptional functional utility, has gained unanimous recognition from world-class peers. Furthermore, Andrew was named one of the "40 UNDER 40 Outstanding Contemporary Young Designers." He has also garnered an array of esteemed accolades worldwide, including the U.S. MUSE Design Awards as Gold Winner and the Taiwan Good Design Award, solidifying his industry renown through proven expertise. Spatial Algorithms and Spiritual Resonance: Expanding from Luxury Residences to B2B Commercial Spaces Both Hong Kong and top-tier cities in Mainland China face the rigorous challenge of high-density urban land scarcity. Market research and industry insights indicate that the spatial demands of urban high-net-worth individuals have evolved from conventional sensory decoration to a dual pursuit of optimized functionality and spiritual sanctuary. Addressing this trend, Andrew translates Eastern wisdom into a sophisticated "spatial algorithm." Regardless of space constraints, he adeptly dissolves physical boundaries using dynamic partitions and adaptable raised platforms. In expansive luxury residences, this algorithm translates into fluid circulation layouts and magnificent spatial proportions. Recently, am PLUS successfully executed a four-story villa project exceeding 3,000 square feet on Mount Austin Road, Hong Kong. Andrew skillfully employed Eastern quiet luxury aesthetics, utilizing pure, serene materials and natural light play within a dynamic three-dimensional space to effortlessly express understated luxury. Visual short films documenting the project's execution received widespread acclaim upon release. "Expansive spaces provide designers with a broader canvas for creation," Andrew notes. He observes that many high-net-worth clients with refined taste resonate deeply with the quiet luxury of modern Eastern design, and he looks forward to leading his team in crafting more expansive living spaces that embody aesthetic depth and spiritual resonance. Andrew's design ambitions extend beyond luxury residential projects. Currently, am PLUS maintains a portfolio ratio of approximately 30% commercial and 70% residential. With the official launch of the CIID Hong Kong Center, Andrew plans to guide the firm through a strategic transformation, gradually shifting toward a balanced 50/50 ratio between commercial and residential domains. "We aim to translate the meticulous planning and human-centric experiences accumulated from years in luxury residential design into B2B commercial spaces, including corporate offices, retail flagships, and boutique dining," Andrew affirms. He firmly believes that experiential commercial design not only helps businesses reduce costs and boost efficiency but also transforms rigid commercial environments into inspiring hubs for personal creativity and emotional connection. Compassion Fueling Creativity: Enriching Design through Human Warmth In their daily routine, interior designers work with hard architectural materials such as steel, timber, stone, and paint. Beyond his demanding design and managerial duties, Andrew has long dedicated himself to social welfare, actively volunteering with charitable organizations such as "Social Seed (社企苗)." Serving as a compassionate guest instructor, he teaches engaging introductory science courses to primary school students. This warm, cross-disciplinary engagement, seemingly unrelated to high-end design, actually serves as a primary source of Andrew's creative inspiration. Andrew reflects thoughtfully: "Design should not be confined to cold blueprints. Only by possessing empathy, loving life, and observing the subtle nuances around us can we truly understand the implicit, unspoken spatial aspirations of our clients. Every time I feel the authentic pulse of society and exchange genuine glances with children, it refines my 'sixth sense'—my intuition and inspiration. I want every design I create to carry warmth, serving as a meaningful contribution to life and living." With the establishment of the CIID Hong Kong Center, Andrew will assume his new role to lead am PLUS DESIGNS forward, continuously exploring and advancing the dual dimensions of contemporary Eastern quiet aesthetics and high-end humanistic spatial design.

HONG KONG SAR - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 7 August 2026 - As global higher education evolves rapidly, Central Asian students are increasingly looking beyond traditional Western destinations. For Dulatkhan, a freshman from Uzbekistan, this search for academic rigour led him to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) to pursue Information Engineering. Although unconventional for Uzbekistani students, Dulatkhan's journey highlights how CUHK's international reputation is reaching new global markets. <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/791093/CUHK-PR-Article-2-Image-Dulatkha.jpg" alt="Uzbekistani Student Dulatkhan Charts His Future at CUHK" 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"> Uzbekistani Student Dulatkhan Charts His Future at CUHK </div> </figcaption> </figure> Hong Kong: A Launchpad for Engineering Ambitions Choosing a university extends far beyond rankings.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 6 August 2026 - From July 31 to August 2, the Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP) joined hands with the State of Hawaii Office in Taipei to present the three-day "Formosa-Hawaii Cultural Festival" at the New Taipei City Citizen Plaza, inviting people from across Taiwan to immerse themselves in the world of Austronesia through music and dance, and experience firsthand the beauty and passion of Austronesian culture. <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/795041/photo-25-.JPG#image-795041" alt="Chairperson Ljaucu Zingrur (Tseng Chih-Yung) of the Indigenous Peoples Council delivered opening remarks at the Aloha Taiwan Cultural Festival, expressing the hope that cultural exchanges between Taiwan and Hawaiʻi will deepen Austronesian cultural connections and help preserve the invaluable cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples." 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"> Chairperson Ljaucu Zingrur (Tseng Chih-Yung) of the Indigenous Peoples Council delivered opening remarks at the Aloha Taiwan Cultural Festival, expressing the hope that cultural exchanges between Taiwan and Hawaiʻi will deepen Austronesian cultural connections and help preserve the invaluable cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples. </div> </figcaption> </figure> Speaking at the opening ceremony, CIP Minister Ljaucu‧Zingrur said that cultural experiences often move people deeply, and that sound policy can turn that emotion into lasting institutions. As the CIP marks its 30th anniversary this year, the opening ceremony of the Formosa-Hawaii Cultural Festival featured a special tribute honoring individuals who have made outstanding contributions to Indigenous affairs. Among these forerunners and partners are those who advocated internationally for the rights of their people, devoted their lives to rescuing endangered Indigenous languages, brought international acclaim to Taiwan through music, dance, and sport, and even those who became guardians of their communities for leading the swift evacuation of an entire village amid a raging storm and rebuilding it in the aftermath. In paying tribute to these unsung heroes, the Minister expressed hope that this honor will be passed on, inspiring more talented citizens to join in advancing Indigenous affairs. He also expressed that this cultural celebration is powerful proof that Indigenous culture is not only flourishing on Taiwan's own soil, but is also embracing the world with the utmost confidence and openness as it steps onto the international stage. The festival's biggest draw is its lineup of top international music and dance performances from across the Pacific, alongside Golden Melody Award-winning stars, paired with a lively, delicious, and fun Austronesian-themed marketplace, together creating the most exuberant summer party of the season! The whole venue is awash in the romance of Aloha. Visitors can savor Hawaiian Kona coffee and Indigenous delicacies in the Austronesian-themed exhibition area, try their hand at Hula dancing and lei making, and enter a daily lucky draw for limited-quantity market vouchers. Families of all ages can spend a leisurely afternoon into the evening enjoying live music while browsing the market stalls, experiencing firsthand the distinctive cultural charm and way of life shared by Taiwan's Indigenous peoples and Hawaii. The three-day program offered one highlight after another. During the day, the State of Hawaii Office in Taipei brought in the internationally acclaimed Ke Kai O Kahiki, a dance group known for powerful, masculine hula performances, to showcase the depth of Hawaiian culture. Furthermore, the CIP has invited music and dance troupes from Palau and Tuvalu to share the profound bonds of Pacific heritage. As night falls, Golden Melody Award-winning stars took the stage in succession. On July 31, "The Call of Mountains and Sea" kicked off with performances by Usay Kawlu, Utjung Tjakivalid, and Kasiwa; on August 1, "The Night of Island Sounds" brought Princess Ai and Abao back-to-back; and on August 2, "Aloha Night" closed the festival with a grand finale by Biung and Abus, pouring out the soul of the ocean through the most contemporary electronic beats and rhythms. The CIP and the State of Hawaii Office in Taipei warmly invited people across Taiwan to bring family and friends to the New Taipei City Citizen Plaza this weekend, to enjoy live music, explore the marketplace, and experience firsthand this not-to-be-missed summer party rich in culture.

It marks a major milestone in the University's development in timely alignment with the five-year planning of China and the Hong Kong SAR. At a time of profound global transformation, technological advances are reshaping the world and redefining the role of universities in society. CUHK has joined the world's top 20 for the first time in the latest Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings, rising to the 18th place. This is a testament to the University's progress in the past 63 years signifying our global academic influence." Professor John Chai Yat-chiu, Chairman of the CUHK Council; Professor Dennis Lo Yuk-ming, Vice-Chancellor and President of CUHK, Professor Isabella Poon Wai-yin, Provost of CUHK, Professor Anthony Chan Tak-cheung, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Alumni / Community Engagement &amp; Institutional Advancement), Professor Jiang Liwen, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research &amp; External Affairs) and Mr Albert Chow Hing-pong, Vice-President (Administration), together with other members of the University's senior management, attended the media luncheon today to mark the official launch. Creating value to benefit humanity Professor Isabella Poon Wai-yin, Provost of CUHK, introduced the University's priority areas and said: "In face of global challenges such as the AI revolution, sustainable development and climate change, universities carry an unprecedentedly vital mission. A truly impactful university does not merely respond to the present needs of the era, but will also actively shape the direction of our future. Through interdisciplinary, cross-regional and cross-sector collaborations, we aim to translate CUHK's deep academic foundation, unique collegiate system and global network into a driving force for social progress and innovation." Team spirit of CUHK leadership in co-creating the development blueprint The formulation of CUHK 2026-2030 was a year-long collaborative effort overseen by the Strategic Plan Steering Committee chaired by Professor Lo with support from the senior management team and consultation from the broad CUHK community, from conceptualisation, drafting to visual design. This multi-faceted collaboration fully demonstrates the team spirit of the CUHK community in propelling the University toward a new chapter. The visual design of the Strategic Plan agenda features circular lines and patterns representing the letters "C" and "U" for CUHK. The concentric-circle motif also symbolises CUHK members coming together like concentric circles, uniting their strengths to work towards common goals. The visual palette centres on the university colours of purple and gold, representing passion and loyalty (purple), alongside perseverance and resolve (gold).

This initiative will extend the University's long-standing collegiate system to the postgraduate community, creating a vibrant, international environment for cross-disciplinary dialogue, holistic development and lifelong networking. In addition, CUHK will develop flagship international undergraduate programmes and signature schemes embedding innovation, entrepreneurship and concepts of sustainability into the curriculum. It will also strengthen industry-academia collaboration and knowledge transfer to attract and nurture outstanding local and international innovative talents. CUHK will also revitalise its General Education curriculum with national and global perspectives. Moreover, the University will strengthen collaboration with CUHK-Shenzhen and other institutions in the GBA and expand opportunities for exchange and internships abroad to support students' holistic development and lifelong learning. Attracting global talent and expanding international impact CUHK will leverage its strengths as an international research university to attract outstanding students, scholars and researchers from around the world, fostering a diverse and inclusive academic community. Currently, approximately 56% of CUHK's professors come from outside Hong Kong while the University achieved a perfect score in the QS international faculty ratio indicator, demonstrating its success in attracting top academic talent globally. This year, applications from non-local students increased by about 20% compared with last year. Applications from regions outside the Chinese Mainland rose even more significantly, by 75%, with most applicants coming from Southeast Asia and the Middle East, reflecting CUHK's growing international appeal. To attract exceptional students, CUHK launched the Fenghuang Scholarship this year. The scholarship offers outstanding students who achieve excellent results in local and overseas public examinations financial support, together with overseas exchange opportunities. Through this initiative, the University aims to attract high-calibre young talent and nurture future leaders with a global vision, innovative capabilities and a strong sense of social responsibility. Driving interdisciplinary research to address global challenges CUHK will seize opportunities arising from the Northern Metropolis, the Hetao Cooperation Zone and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, while focusing on frontier fields including life and health technologies, AI, quantum science and green technology. The University will further integrate into the national research and innovation ecosystem and actively participate in major scientific initiatives spanning space, polar research and deep-sea studies, fostering comprehensive development from Antarctic expeditions and space missions to the translation of world-class innovations. In recent years, CUHK has been actively demonstrating its research excellence. Notable achievements include the successful launch of CUHK Sat-1, the world's first AI satellite dedicated to urban sustainable development, and leading the development of the laser heterodyne spectrometer selected for the nation's Tianwen-3 Mars exploration mission.

<h4>Called PowerCore 5.0, the containerised module will reduce power infrastructure delivery timelines by more than 50%.</h4>SINGAPORE - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 6 August 2026 - Bridge Data Centres (BDC), a Singapore-headquartered hyperscale data centre provider, and Morong Electric, an electrical manufacturing specialist, have launched PowerCore 5.0, the world's first fully prefabricated power module designed for high-density AI data centres. <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/1600x696/794782/794782-BDC-s-Power-Core-5-0-modu.jpeg" alt="BDC's Power Core 5.0 module" 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"> BDC's Power Core 5.0 module </div> </figcaption> </figure> Built for high-density AI workloads on accelerated deployment timelines, the module complies with the technical standards of BDC's proprietary i-Power Cube, its power system designed for high-performance computing. It integrates seamlessly with the Bridge Omni Platform, BDC's modular intelligent infrastructure platform for the AI era. PowerCore 5.0 combines BDC's global hyperscale delivery experience with Morong Electric's end-to-end electrical manufacturing expertise. Rapid AI advancement has driven rack power densities from 10kW to more than 100kW, placing stringent new demands on mission-critical power infrastructure. Traditional delivery models, which rely on fragmented procurement and on-site system integration, struggle to cater to the rigorous requirements of AI-optimised data centres. Drawing on BDC's global campus delivery footprint and Morong Electric's electrical engineering expertise, PowerCore 5.0 addresses these challenges through four core design attributes: factory pre-integration, standardised global transport, parallel construction and maintenance without downtime. Factory pre-integration Each unit integrates transformers, power distribution, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), cooling, fire suppression and monitoring systems into a single module, fully assembled and tested off-site. Site teams need only complete the final cable connections on delivery, removing the quality inconsistencies that accompany conventional field construction. Standardised global transport Built on a standard 40ft ISO container frame, the module integrates seamlessly with global shipping networks, eliminating oversized freight premiums, dedicated transport and protracted customs delays that hinder cross-border deployments. Purpose-engineered for BDC's core markets, it complies with local climatic benchmarks and industrial standards to enable dependable global rollout. Shortened delivery timelines by more than 50% On-site civil works and factory prefabrication proceed simultaneously, shortening total delivery timelines by more than 50% compared with conventional build methods[1]. Large campuses can deploy units on a bi-weekly cadence, matching the rapid scaling and flexible capacity expansion that AI demands. Maintenance without downtime In an industry first, core components including UPS units, transformers and precision cooling are mounted on slide-out rails. Technicians can withdraw and service individual units without interrupting power to the data centre, keeping high-density compute clusters running around the clock. Mr Zhang Binghua, Chief Technology Officer of BDC, said, "The AI infrastructure sector is scaling at an unprecedented rate, and operators now require higher power density, faster hardware refreshes and maximum uptime. This shift requires us to rethink how power systems are designed and deployed. PowerCore 5.0 raises the bar on system integration, cross-climate operation, delivery speed and intelligent operations and maintenance. It will enable standardised, low-carbon compute deployments across the globe and provide the stable power foundation to support the continued growth of the global AI ecosystem." Mr Zhang Kai, Chairman of Morong Electric, said, "AI hardware now evolves on a monthly cycle, and traditional on-site system integration can no longer keep pace with the operational needs of modern AI data centres. Prefabricated power modules clear the delivery bottlenecks holding back compute infrastructure expansion. This launch marks a critical milestone in our strategic partnership, and we will continue to co-develop high-performance, integrated power solutions that meet global market standards and regional compliance requirements." BDC and Morong Electric will continue to develop prefabricated power modules engineered for ultra-high-density compute and cross-border regulatory alignment. Both companies aim to advance industry-wide technical standardisation and the collaborative development of compute infrastructure. Their low-carbon, modular power solutions will support the sustainable and scalable growth of AI operations across international markets. <div> <hr align="left"> <div> [1] Conventional build methods typically deliver power modules on a monthly cycle.

<h4>Convergence of advanced medtech, medical knowledge sharing cloud and agentic AI heralds a new heart failure management solution for heart failure patients </h4>SINGAPORE – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 6 August 2026 – Singaporean doctor Dr Wei Siang Yu, Founder of HeartSpan.ai, has led a cross-border collaboration that enabled Indonesia's first successful implantation of the world's smallest and lightest left ventricular assist device (LVAD). The milestone forms part of the Singapore-led healthcare platform's broader effort to build a regional model that helps hospitals adopt advanced heart failure therapies by combining MedTech with cross-border specialist expertise, structured clinical training, medical knowledge sharing cloud and agentic AI support. The model was put to its first real-world test at Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central General Hospital (RSCM) in Jakarta. HeartSpan.ai, the heart longevity division of Borderless Healthcare Group (BHG), connected RSCM with the world's smallest and lightest LVAD, an intensive training programme at Fuwai Hospital in Beijing and support from Fuwai specialists during the first procedure. On 1 August 2026, RSCM's cardiovascular team completed Indonesia's first successful implantation of the device, also marking its first successful use in Southeast Asia. The recipient was a 45-year-old woman with advanced heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 14%. Beyond the clinical milestone, the programme tests whether a hospital can establish the multidisciplinary systems needed to sustain the therapy after visiting specialists leave. That capability question is also relevant to Singapore, where the <a href="https://www.nhcs.com.sg/news/murmurs/advances-in-heart-failure">National Heart Centre</a> estimates that heart failure affects 4-5% of the population, compared with 1-2% globally. HeartSpan.ai's proposition is that Singapore can use its specialist expertise to organise regional networks through which technology, training and clinical knowledge travel together. The initiative comes as the country begins implementing its S$37 billion <a href="https://www.nrf.gov.sg/files/RIE2030_Press_Release_2030.pdf">RIE2030</a> plan, focusing on advancing biomedtech and biomanufacturing, and translating research and innovation into practical healthcare solutions. Led by Singaporean founder Dr Wei Siang Yu, HeartSpan.ai is positioning this as a new model for cross-border healthcare innovation. Its approach combines physical implementation and specialist training on the ground with a medical knowledge-sharing cloud and agentic AI, allowing clinical expertise and care models to be transferred, retained and replicated beyond an individual procedure. The Indonesia programme provides the first real-world demonstration of how this model can work. As HeartSpan.ai expands the model into other markets, the company aims to establish Singapore as the base from which its healthcare technologies, clinical models and intellectual property can be deployed across the region. This comes as Singapore begins implementing its S$37 billion RIE2030 plan, with biomedtech and biomanufacturing among its priorities and an emphasis on translating research and innovation into practical applications. HeartSpan.ai's regional expansion demonstrates how Singapore-based healthcare companies can contribute to that position by taking locally led innovation and new healthcare business models into international markets. "What we are building is not a traditional medical services model. We are creating an IP-led healthcare model that brings together medical technology, clinical protocols and procedures, specialist know-how, training, agentic AI and a medical knowledge-sharing cloud into one scalable platform. By converging the online and offline elements of healthcare delivery, that intellectual property and capability can be deployed into different markets rather than remaining tied to one hospital or geography. Indonesia is the first demonstration of how this model can work in practice, and our ambition is to scale it across the region," said Dr Wei Siang Yu, Founder and Chairman of BHG and Founder of HeartSpan.ai. "The successful implantation of the LVAD is a significant achievement, not only for RSCM but also for the advancement of healthcare services regionally. This accomplishment demonstrates that Indonesia is capable of providing advanced cardiovascular therapies that meet international standards through collaboration with global partners, strengthening the competencies of healthcare professionals, and leveraging the latest healthcare technologies. Most importantly, this milestone brings new hope to patients with advanced heart failure, who previously had very limited treatment options," said Dr. Supriyanto Dharmoredjo, President Director of RSCM. The introduction of LVAD implantation expands access to highly specialized cardiovascular care, reduces the need for eligible patients to seek complex treatment overseas, and strengthens Indonesia's national capabilities in advanced heart failure management. "Successful LVAD therapy extends far beyond the operating theatre. It requires rigorous patient selection, seamless coordination between cardiologists, surgeons, intensivists, nurses and LVAD coordinators, as well as structured long-term follow-up. Through our collaboration with HeartSpan.ai and Fuwai Hospital, RSCM has established the multidisciplinary care model, clinical protocols and specialist capabilities needed to build a sustainable advanced heart failure program for Indonesia," said Dr. Birry Karim, Head of the Cardiovascular Department at RSCM. "Our patient's recovery has been encouraging. She has successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation and extubated at post-op day 1. Her condition has stabilized, and rehabilitation has already begun. While the post-operative period remains critical and requires close monitoring, these early clinical outcomes are very encouraging. This successful implantation demonstrates what can be achieved through meticulous surgical planning and multidisciplinary teamwork. We look forward to offering this life-saving therapy to more eligible patients in Indonesia," said Dr. M. Arza Putra, Lead Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon at RSCM. Building on this milestone, HeartSpan.ai envisions a future where artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine and advanced mechanical circulatory support converge within an integrated ecosystem to extend life, optimise healthspan and transform the management of advanced heart failure. Beyond advancing patient care, this initiative led by HeartSpan.ai and implemented locally through Indonesia.md, BHG's Indonesia-focused subsidiary and the exclusive distributor of the LVAD in Indonesia, aims to accelerate the transfer of advanced medical technologies from China and other countries to Indonesia, strengthening local capabilities through specialist education, knowledge transfer, research collaboration and, ultimately, an introduction of advanced medical device manufacturing in Indonesia.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 6 August 2026 – A lot of people wish to do something kind for the world around them. However, most struggle finding an appropriate platform. Pay It Forward (PIF), a community meal-sharing app built on the simple idea that small acts of kindness can be passed forward, is officially expanding nationwide in Malaysia in June 2026. The platform revolutionises how people spread kindness through technology. One Meal, One Ripple, One Community Pay It Forward allows any participant to buy a prepaid meal at a participating local restaurant, café, or food outlet for someone else in their community. More than a one-way gesture, how Pay It Forward works is designed to create a ripple effect where kindness spreads, anyone can be both a Giver and a Receiver, and one small act sets off a wider movement of community connection. How a Ripple Starts: <ol> <li dir="ltr"> Share a Meal. Through the Pay It Forward app, a Giver purchases a prepaid meal from a participating Merchant and can include a Ripple Card with a positive message to pass on. </li> <li dir="ltr"> Experience the Gesture. A community member redeems the meal in-store and can share the moment back by sending a Ripple Card of appreciation to the Giver. </li> <li dir="ltr"> Pay It Forward. Receivers may later choose to share a meal through the platform for someone else, setting a ripple in motion. </li> <li dir="ltr"> Grow the Community. Over time, Givers, Receivers, and Merchants form a wider community supporting one another, one shared meal at a time. </li> </ol> "We built Pay It Forward because we believe technology should help people reconnect, not just transact," said Amelia Tang, Co-Founder and CEO. "A shared meal is one of the simplest ways to show someone in your community that you thought of them." From Pilot to Public Growth Malaysia was chosen as the first launch market for Pay It Forward's revolution due to the country's rich food culture and strong sense of community. The nationwide rollout follows an extended period of product development, merchant onboarding, and community testing. A soft launch in November 2025 brought more than 100 participating Merchants and thousands of users onto the platform, providing the feedback needed to fine-tune the experience before scaling. Beyond merchants and users, a recent memorandum of agreement signed with Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) introduced the PIF x UTAR Social Impact Project and Campus Ambassador Programme, giving students real exposure to social entrepreneurship and community work. Kindness is Much Closer Than You Think Pay It Forward is that platform, a simple way to take the small kind thought you have and pass it on, one meal at a time. Because kindness only truly begins when someone takes the first step. To share a meal, redeem a meal, or sign up your business, visit <a href="http://payitforward.io/en-my">payitforward.io/en-my</a>.

Drawing inspiration from the traditional Italian "Caffè Sospeso", where one cup of coffee is paid for and left behind for a stranger, the platform brings that same spirit of sharing into the digital age. Today, Pay It Forward connects Givers, Receivers, and Merchants in one transparent ecosystem, where anyone can purchase a prepaid meal at a participating local restaurant, café, or food outlet and gift it to someone nearby. As the first platform in Malaysia's social-dining space to combine meal-sharing with community altruism, Pay It Forward is on a mission to build a kinder, more connected society, one shared meal at a time, because sharing is caring. <img src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/479698/44375" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="width:1px;height:1px;">

To complement the 50th-anniversary promotions, the campaign debuted two fully AI-generated brand videos that translated the abstract concepts of "Invesurance" into compelling visual narratives. By integrating high level brand storytelling with cutting-edge technology, YF Life not only optimized content production efficiency but also established a rapid iterative, intelligent brand asset, setting a new paradigm for insurance marketing. An Omnichannel Ecosystem: Generating Scalable Strategic Resonance The campaign deployed an integrated, omnichannel communications strategy, ensuring seamless synergy between digital touchpoints and offline engagements. Digitally, the brand executed systematic content operations across major social media platforms to drive sustained market buzz and interactive user engagement. For offline, strategic outdoor placements in prime Hong Kong and Macau commercial districts utilized a modern, high recognition visual identity to maximize brand presence and resonance. Looking Ahead: Fueling "Envision, Invesurance" through Driven Innovation Moving forward, YF Life will continue to deepen the operational integration and practical application of its "Invesurance" philosophy. By Leveraging its digital transformation strengths and technological ecosystem, the company is committed to tailoring client experiences and strategically positioned to capture HNW and next-generation market segments.

The product is officially released this month, underscoring the company's deepening commitment to addressing the evolving health needs of women in Singapore and across the region. As awareness around women's health continues to grow, menopause remains a life stage that is frequently underserved by mainstream health solutions. JR Life Sciences is responding to this gap with a science-backed, plant-derived formulation that offers a natural alternative to conventional hormone-based therapies, one that is both accessible and aligned with the preferences of today's health-conscious consumer. Menopause Relief is a once-daily capsule containing three plant-based phytoestrogens, each selected for their clinically studied benefits in managing menopause symptoms and supporting long-term health. The formulation is free from synthetic hormones and is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets, making it broadly accessible across diverse consumer lifestyles. Key active ingredients include: <ul> <li> Lifenol Hops Extract (8-PN phytoestrogen): Shown to lessen hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, restlessness and irritability while helping to maintain total-body bone-mineral density. </li> <li> Flax Lignan (SDG phytoestrogen): Provides gentle hormonal support that helps balance oestrogen levels during the transition. </li> <li> Soy Isoflavone (genistein and daidzein): Supports bone strength, reduces hot flashes and steadies mild mood swings. </li> </ul> The launch of Menopause Relief reflects a broader strategic priority for JR Life Sciences: to expand its women's health portfolio in response to growing consumer demand for natural health solutions. In Singapore, where an ageing population is driving increased interest in preventive health and targeted supplementation, the company sees a significant opportunity to better serve women navigating the menopause transition. Holistic Way currently distributes a comprehensive range of nutraceuticals across key health categories, including: <ul> <li> Musculoskeletal Health: Products categorised under <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/joints">joint supplements</a> to address knee pain and mobility concerns in ageing demographics. </li> <li> Immunity &amp; General Health: Daily essentials ranging from Vitamin C tablets and <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/general-health">multivitamin supplements</a> to <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/immune-support">vitamins for the immune system</a>. </li> <li> Specialised Care: Targeted formulations including <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/eye">eye health supplements</a>, <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/gut-digestion">probiotics supplements</a>, and <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/heart">heart health supplements</a>. </li> <li> Beauty &amp; Wellness: Functional supplements such as <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/beauty">collagen shots</a>, <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/hair">hair growth supplements</a>, and <a href="https://holisticway.com.sg/collections/healthy-ageing">anti-ageing supplements</a>. </li> </ul> As JR Life Sciences prepares for 2027, its focus remains on addressing unmet market needs and evolving consumer expectations.

New York, New York - <a href="https://www.newsfilecorp.com/">Newsfile Corp.</a> - August 5, 2026 - Flash Sports &amp; Media Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLZH) ("Flash Sports &amp; Media," "FSM" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated sports, media and fan engagement platform, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding term sheet to acquire a 51% controlling interest in Bongo Holdings Pte Ltd ("Bongo"), one of South Asia's leading digital media, streaming and content distribution platforms. This transaction would give FSM a controlling position and based on financial information provided by Bongo management, the Company expects Bongo to contribute positive EBITDA following closing, before giving effect to transaction expenses, purchase-accounting adjustments and financing costs. <img src="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/newsinfo/308016/332"> Bongo has built one of South Asia's largest digital media ecosystems, combining a proprietary end-to-end streaming platform with a distribution network reaching more than 300 million viewers and owned digital brands with over 73 million social media followers. Bongo distributes content through platforms including YouTube, Facebook and TikTok and has advised the Company that it is delivering premium sports and entertainment content from globally recognized brands including, Premium Football Leagues &amp; Tournaments, MasterChef, Shark Tank, Eurovision and Family Feud, in addition to working with major media companies such as Sony and among many others. The proposed acquisition positions Flash Sports &amp; Media to own and operate a fully integrated sports and media ecosystem spanning premium sports rights, original content, live event production, proprietary streaming technology, direct-to-consumer distribution, advertising inventory and fan engagement. Beyond adding an established, revenue-generating digital platform, the transaction is expected to significantly accelerate Flash's global expansion strategy by providing immediate technology infrastructure, distribution scale and access to high-growth Asian markets. Except for provisions relating to exclusivity, transaction-expense reimbursement, governing law and the binding effect of those provisions, the Term Sheet is non-binding. Strategic Rationale: Building a Vertically Integrated Global Sports &amp; Media Platform Flash Sports &amp; Media has assembled a portfolio of premium sports rights, live event properties, production capabilities and fan engagement assets. The proposed Bongo acquisition adds the final layer of the value chain by combining proprietary streaming technology, large-scale digital distribution and an established audience into a single integrated platform capable of delivering and monetizing content directly with consumers worldwide. The Company believes acquiring a controlling interest in Bongo creates several significant strategic advantages: Technology Infrastructure — Bongo's proprietary end-to-end streaming platform, purpose-built for mobile-first users and optimized for lower-bandwidth environments across emerging markets, will provide the technology backbone for Flash's global direct-to-consumer streaming strategy. Distribution Network — Immediate access to a digital creator ecosystem reaching more than 300 million viewers across South Asia and international diaspora markets provides Flash with a powerful distribution network for content sourcing, original programming and future premium content. Audience &amp; Engagement — More than 73 million followers across Bongo's owned digital brands create an established audience for Flash's sports properties while significantly expanding opportunities for fan acquisition, engagement and cross-promotion. Premium Content Relationships — Commercial relationships with leading global content owners and entertainment brands, including Premium Football Leagues &amp; Tournaments, MasterChef, Shark Tank, Eurovision and Family Feud, provide meaningful opportunities to accelerate Flash's content strategy and broaden its premium media offering. Sports &amp; Cricket Ecosystem — Bongo's deep experience across Asian sports markets and established relationships throughout the regional cricket ecosystem are expected to strengthen Flash's ability to expand sports rights, develop premium programming and deepen fan engagement throughout one of the world's fastest-growing sports markets. Streaming &amp; Media Expansion — Bongo's proprietary streaming technology is expected to power Flash's future streaming services, reducing development timelines while providing a scalable infrastructure capable of supporting premium live sports, entertainment and original programming at a substantially lower operating cost. Advertising &amp; Monetization — The combination significantly expands advertising inventory, subscription opportunities, audience analytics and data-driven monetization capabilities, strengthening Flash's recurring revenue model beyond event-driven revenues. Content Strategy &amp; Market Intelligence — Bongo's extensive experience in content acquisition, regional programming, audience behavior and digital media strategy provides Flash with valuable expertise to support future content investments and expansion throughout Asia. If completed, the acquisition is expected to significantly strengthen Flash Sports &amp; Media's position as a vertically integrated global sports, media and technology company by combining premium sports rights, proprietary streaming technology, large-scale digital distribution network, audience engagement and recurring media revenues into a single scalable platform. "Bongo gives us the piece of the value chain we do not own today. We control live properties, we control production, and we control activation — what we have not controlled is the pipe to the consumer. A 51% position in a streaming platform already generating close to $10 million of revenue changes that. It lets us take our content directly to the audience that cares most about it, keep the subscriber relationship, and build recurring revenue alongside our event-driven business. The proposed structure includes a 60% cash and 40% equity consideration mix, limits share issuances absent stockholder approval and provides for up to an additional $12 million management earnout tied to future revenue and EBITDA growth." — Bradley Nattrass, CEO, Flash Sports &amp; Media Holdings, Inc. "For more than a decade, Bongo has grown into one of South Asia's leading digital media ecosystems by combining proprietary streaming technology, premium global content partnerships and one of the region's largest digital audiences. Joining forces with Flash Sports &amp; Media represents an exciting new chapter that brings together technology, premium sports content, global distribution and world-class fan engagement. Together, we believe we can build one of the most compelling sports and digital media platforms serving emerging markets and audiences worldwide." — Ahad Bhai, Founder, Bongo Holdings Pte Ltd About Flash Sports &amp; Media Holdings, Inc.
