(Nasdaq: ZENA)(FSE: 49Q)(BMV: ZENA)("ZenaTech" or the "Company"), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, today unveiled its proprietary artificial intelligence software suite and planned integration across its DaaS land survey operations. By pairing ZenaDrone high-density LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data acquisition with automated feature extraction and point cloud classification, ZenaTech plans to accelerate survey-grade data delivery time from days to as little as minutes across commercial land surveying, municipal and infrastructure projects for DaaS clients across North America and around the world. The combined platform is currently in the development and testing stage. ZenaTech, Inc. is a B2i Digital Featured Company. See the company’s in-depth profile at: https://b2idigital.com/zenatech-1   “Land survey delivery has traditionally been limited by manual post-processing, which caps how many projects a survey team can complete,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “By integrating our AI software directly into ZenaDrone DaaS operations, we aimto automate the heavily manual work of point cloud classification and CAD linework generation, so the same crews and drones can deliver turn-key, actionable intelligence to clients faster and with consistent quality. As we apply our AI suite across our AI tools growing network of DaaS subsidiaries, we believe it can improve operating efficiency and support the scalable, recurring revenue model at the center of our DaaS strategy.” The combined platform is designed to bridge hardware data collection with AI-driven point cloud processing. A ZenaDrone land survey drone equipped with high-density LiDAR captures a site as a point cloud, a dataset that can contain billions of individual 3D measurement points. ZenaAI is then intended to run automated geospatial workflows on that data, classifying each point by what it represents, converting the classified data into terrain models and vector drawings, removing noise, tagging infrastructure assets and exporting the results in formats that survey and engineering teams can use directly. Its key planned capabilities include: Automated Point Cloud Classification: Designed to use deep learning neural networks to rapidly parse billions of 3D LiDAR points, separating ground returns from dense canopy, buildings, utility lines and surface vegetation to generate true Digital Terrain Models (DTM) Automated Feature Extraction and Linework: Computer vision algorithms are intended to detect and vectorize critical planimetric features, including curb lines, pavement edges, retaining walls and structures, and export them directly into CAD and BIM (Building Information Modeling) formats Rapid DaaS Turnaround: By replacing manual point-picking and heuristic scripting, the AI software suite is being designed to reduce post-processing workflows by as much as 80% and shorten survey turnaround time, allowing DaaS survey teams to deliver fully classified datasets within hours of flight completion Smart Noise Filtering and Asset Tagging: Automated artifact suppression is intended to clean airborne noise, multipath errors and scan overlap, while semantic tagging logs discrete infrastructure assets, such as manholes, hydrants and utility poles, with millimeter-level precision Point cloud classification and linework have traditionally required skilled technicians to work through by hand, which can take days and limits how many projects a survey team can complete. ZenaTech believes that automating these steps could raise surveying productivity, allowing the same drones and crews to deliver more projects faster and potentially improving margins over time. As proprietary software, the AI suite is also intended to add a scalable SaaS layer to the Company’s acquisition-led DaaS strategy, applying a consistent processing workflow across the surveying businesses it acquires and supporting its recurring revenue model for commercial, municipal and infrastructure clients that rely on timely data for planning, design and construction.   The AI-powered LiDAR processing is currently in development with testing across DaaS land surveying, infrastructure monitoring and utility inspection projects expected next year. The Company will provide updates on launch and rollout as milestones are achieved. ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service (DaaS) division provides on-demand turnkey drone piloting, data capture, and data processing services to commercial, government, and infrastructure customers, allowing them to access aerial data and automation without owning or operating their own drone fleets. The division is being built through an acquisition-led strategy that combines local low-tech service providers into a global network, creating a scalable platform for delivering recurring-revenue aerial and data services such as surveying, inspections, power washing, and construction progress monitoring.

Mr Ndjaka is Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the African Union of Broadcasting (AUB), the continental federation of Africa's national radio and television organisations. Founded in 1962 and headquartered in Dakar, the AUB brings together 86 members across the continent and beyond. It operates in four official languages (English, French, Arabic and Portuguese), positioning it as the pan-African anchor point for public service broadcasting, media exchange and continental audiovisual policy. First elected CEO of the AUB in January 2016 and re-elected for a four-year term in June 2022, Mr Ndjaka brings over three decades of professional experience as a senior journalist and media executive. He previously served as Director of Human Resources and Advisor to the Director-General of Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV), and holds two Master's degrees in Human Rights and Humanitarian Emergencies and in Project Management from the Catholic University of Central Africa. He is a fellow of the Japan Foundation. Under his leadership, the AUB has driven a continental broadcasting agenda that spans preferential satellite tariffs for member organisations, capacity-building programmes across African media, the coordination of major continental broadcasting rights arrangements, and public service media reform. He is a member of the World Broadcasting Unions alongside his European (EBU), Asian (ABU), North American (NABA) and Caribbean (CBU) counterparts. His appointment to the ACG Advisory Board brings to the platform the continental broadcasting layer that any sport and entertainment district project requires to reach African and global audiences. Sport and entertainment districts, at the scale ACG is originating, depend on structured broadcast distribution across national public service broadcasters, negotiated media rights frameworks, and coordinated continental coverage — the very layers that the AUB convenes on behalf of its 86 member broadcasters. Mr Ndjaka's appointment ensures that ACG's work is aligned from the outset with the continental broadcasting architecture that determines the reach, revenue and cultural resonance of large sport and entertainment properties in Africa. His appointment brings to the ACG Advisory Board an unmatched combination of pan-African media leadership, deep relationships across national broadcasters and public service media, and continental policy positioning in the audiovisual sector — capabilities directly relevant to originating and structuring large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across the African continent. "Grégoire Ndjaka brings to our Advisory Board the continental broadcasting layer that no serious African sport and entertainment district project can be conceived without. The reach, cultural resonance and financial return of these projects depend on how well they connect to the pan-African public service broadcasting architecture, and the AUB is the continental anchor point for that architecture. His presence on our Advisory Board is a genuine strategic asset," said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard (www.Pompigne-Mognard.com), Founder and Executive Chairman of ACG. The ACG Advisory Board provides strategic guidance as ACG originates and structures large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across the continent, aligning governments, development finance institutions (DFIs), investors, sport bodies and infrastructure partners to support the development of financially sustainable, mixed-use district ecosystems. Africa's sport economy is projected to reach $20 billion by 2035, yet the continent continues to lack the integrated district ecosystems required to support large-scale development. ACG addresses this gap by originating bankable sport and entertainment district projects, moving beyond single-venue development models towards mixed-use, revenue-generating and financially sustainable district ecosystems. Through its collaborative model, ACG convenes governments, PPP authorities and regulators, development finance institutions, private investors, developers, designers and engineers, legal and transaction advisors, operators, sport federations and leagues, event promoters, media and broadcast partners, academic institutions and host communities, creating structured pathways from concept to feasibility, bankability and delivery.

The deal, covered by Bloomberg, marks the company’s first move into vessel ownership and expands its presence across the Mediterranean marine fuel supply market. The transaction has been approved by Turkey’s antitrust watchdog. Financial terms were not disclosed. The acquisition includes Energy Petrol’s fleet of eight marine fuel vessels, bringing total global oil products storage capacity across the Alkagesta platform to approximately 728,000 cubic metres. Energy Petrol will continue to operate independently following the transaction. The deal expands the company’s model from trading marine fuel to distributing it directly to end-users. Asad Huseynov, Managing Director of Investments and Asset Management at Alkagesta, noted the acquisition lays the ground for potential future investments or structured partnerships in other infrastructure-style assets. Alkagesta currently supplies approximately 40% of Turkey’s 2.5 million tonne per year marine fuel market and approximately 75% of Malta’s, with plans to expand marine fuel supply operations in Singapore — where the hub reached approximately 250,000 metric tonnes per month in its first full year.

Organized by the African Energy Chamber (AEC) (https://EnergyChamber.org), the October 12–16 conference brought together more than 12,000 international delegates, including government officials, national oil companies, private operators, financiers and technology providers. The summit secured more than $17 billion in total commitments, while governments presented new investment opportunities and companies formalized strategic partnerships. Discussions covered upstream development, energy infrastructure, digital technologies and workforce training, with commercial initiatives designed to move projects closer to financing and implementation. Returning as Africa’s Biggest Energy Marketplace The Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) hosted a conference built around connecting project developers with investors. Two dedicated platforms anchored its commercial program: the Premier Invest Deal Room and the African Farmout Forum. Organized by Premier Invest, the Deal Room presented 15 oil, gas, infrastructure and power projects seeking more than $16 billion in investment. Project sponsors pitched opportunities to potential financiers, including development finance institutions, commercial lenders and institutional investors. Proposals covered upstream exploration, LNG infrastructure, gas-to-power facilities and downstream development. The African Farmout Forum, held October 12 with Moyes & Co, Farmout Angel and Envoi Ltd, showcased 23 investment opportunities across established and frontier African basins. Operators delivered five-minute pitches covering assets, technical data and investment terms, while a dedicated Wall of Farmouts and investor meetings facilitated discussions around equity farm-downs and joint ventures. National Investment Strategies African governments used AEW 2026 to promote licensing opportunities, outline regulatory reforms and attract capital for exploration and production. Ivory Coast presented its ambition to become a regional energy hub by 2035, backed by a $10 billion energy expansion strategy. The government highlighted the Calao and Calao South blocks as opportunities for foreign exploration and production companies. Liberia launched its 2026 Direct Negotiation Petroleum Licensing Round through the Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority. The round offers 15 blocks across the Liberia and Harper basins, supported by 50,000 line-km of 2D seismic data and 31,000 km2 of 3D seismic coverage. Meanwhile, Gabon outlined petroleum code reforms intended to attract exploration investment through more flexible contractual terms, lower entry costs and streamlined approvals. Uganda reaffirmed its commitment to first oil from the Lake Albert developments while advancing plans for a 60,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) domestic refinery targeted for completion by 2030. Senegal presented 104 blocks to investors, expanding access to deepwater and onshore acreage, while Algeria promoted seven onshore exploration blocks in its anticipated bidding round, with Sonatrach highlighting available geological data and development potential. Major Deals and Partnerships AEW 2026 produced several corporate agreements spanning energy data, offshore operations, digitalization, aviation fuels and infrastructure research. The AEC and S&P Global Energy signed a five-year strategic partnership focused on improving African energy data transparency and market intelligence. The collaboration will support energy outlooks and analysis intended to inform investment decisions. Angola’s Etu Energias, Chariot and BW Energy announced a tripartite agreement aimed at advancing offshore development by combining local operating capabilities with international technical expertise. The South African National Petroleum Company (SANPC) and SLB agreed to collaborate on digital transformation, including cloud-based data systems and advanced subsurface technologies. Sasol and White Desert formalized a sustainable aviation fuel offtake agreement to support commercial supply and distribution. Meanwhile, Imbono and the University of Cape Town announced a three-year partnership linking academic research and commercial investment to develop future-ready infrastructure. Project Announcements and Updates Senegal’s Petrosen outlined progress on the Yakaar-Teranga gas project, targeting a final investment decision by the end of 2027. The ultra-deepwater development remains a significant opportunity to expand domestic gas supply. In Mozambique, Eni confirmed that drilling for its Coral North FLNG project would begin in November 2026, advancing development in the country’s offshore gas sector. Furthermore, TotalEnergies also announced that it had secured a deepwater drillship for an upcoming exploration and appraisal campaign offshore Nigeria. The campaign is expected to advance work on prospects in the country’s deepwater acreage. Workforce Development and Capacity Building AEW featured initiatives to strengthen Africa’s technical and financial skills base. The AEW Future Leaders Student Challenge recognized three leading university teams for engineering solutions and financial modelling aimed at addressing energy-sector development challenges. The ExxonMobil Foundation STEM Africa Challenge gave African students a platform to present technology and engineering concepts addressing energy access. The initiative focused on student-led solutions for clean energy, decentralized solar power and off-grid applications. Beyond the Conference Floor Networking continued through the African Energy Awards and Gala Dinner, which recognized leadership, exploration achievements and institutional reforms across the sector. The Just Energy Transition Concert at the Grand Africa Café combined African musical performances with opportunities for delegates to build commercial relationships. Business-to-business meetings, corporate breakfasts, ministerial roundtables and beachfront receptions extended discussions beyond formal sessions. Together, the investment platforms, national showcases, corporate agreements and project updates positioned AEW 2026 as a major meeting point for African energy stakeholders seeking capital, partners and routes to project execution.

He subsequently handed it over to Major General Ebaka Hyppolite, Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, representing Lieutenant General Rene Claude Meka, Chief of Defence Staff, before a group photograph marked the end of the presentation sequence. In his address, the Minister of Defence reiterated that the guide, previously presented on October 9, 2024, was designed to equip instructors with the necessary tools to integrate legal education into military training programmes. It should be noted that the importance of legal knowledge in the discharge of military responsibilities, particularly in defending the nation, protecting citizens and preserving public order is vital. A sound understanding of the laws governing the use of force, human rights, military discipline and the conduct of operations remains essential to military professionalism. The presentation of the instructor’s guide therefore seeks to strengthen legal awareness among military personnel, promote respect for the law and ensure that the use of military authority remains within the applicable legal framework.

Prime Minister Dr. Moustafa Madbouly and Minister of Defense and Military Production, Lieutenant General Ashraf Salem Zaher attended and Minister of Interior Major General Mahmoud Tawfik, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Egyptian Expatriates Dr. Badr Abdelatty and the Chief of the Armed Forces Operations Authority, also Head of the National Authority for Crisis and Emergency Management Lieutenant General Mohamed Abdel Rahman Rabie participated in the session. The Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, stated that the session started with screening of film that highlighted the efforts of state institutions, mainly the Ministry of Interior, to ensure security and safety for citizens, particularly since January 2011. The Minister of Interior outlined the efforts undertaken to advance the security apparatus, combat criminal activity, restore security to Egyptian streets, and ensure a rapid response to citizens' reports. As an example, he noted a significant decline in vehicle thefts—a reduction of 94%. He further explained that the Ministry of Interior has implemented a comprehensive strategy to reshape security operations in light of evolving criminal tactics. This strategy is built upon five pillars: upgrading police facilities and equipping them with modern technology to keep pace with advancements across various sectors; establishing an integrated, science-based security framework that utilizes AI and early detection of criminal patterns to devise effective countermeasures—a process that required modernizing operations centers across all governorates and linking them to a central hub; developing human capital—a prerequisite for the success of this framework—which involved creating new specialized security functions, including units focused on cybercrime, intellectual property, and the early monitoring of terrorist organizations; fostering public awareness to serve as a vital line of defense against attempts to undermine national stability and public safety; and finally modernizing penal policies regarding convicts. The Chief of the Armed Forces Operations Authority, also Head of the National Authority for Crisis and Emergency Management, outlined the operational mechanisms of both the In his remarks, the Minister of Foreign Affairs noted that foreign policy has become a matter of interest to all segments of Egyptian society primarily because it is an extension of domestic policy and the two are interconnected. An effective foreign policy stems from domestic stability, while events abroad, in turn, impact the internal situation. He noted that Egypt is surrounded by nations experiencing crises and conflicts, which directly concern Egypt’s national security. He highlighted that Egypt maintains strategic ties and partnerships with various global powers, managing them with wisdom in accordance with the doctrine of "strategic balance" established by the President. Regarding Red Sea security, he noted that Egypt is working to achieve security and stability, in cooperation with the littoral states, by fostering partnerships across various sectors—including logistics, the economy, and tourism development. As for the African sphere, the Minister emphasized that Egypt’s economic and developmental future is intrinsically linked to development across Africa. He noted that the President has made 38 visits to African nations—an unprecedented number—underscoring that this outreach strengthens solidarity with the African countries. The Minister of Foreign Affairs described the issue of water security as an existential matter, asserting that the lives of 110 million Egyptians can not be made contingent upon the unilateral will of any other party. He stressed that Egypt merely calls for the application of international law. He further outlined the principles guiding Egypt’s policy toward the Horn of Africa: non-interference in the internal affairs of other states; respect for the unity and sovereignty of these nations—with a firm rejection of any secession, partition, or fragmentation in the Horn of Africa and the facilitation of maritime access through coordination and agreement with neighboring states. The Minister reaffirmed Egypt’s historic ties with Sudan, emphasizing its support for Sudan's unity and stability. He stated that Egypt will not permit the division of Sudan, nor will it allow the collapse of its state institutions. Furthermore, he noted that Egypt continues to engage with other regional stakeholders to pursue a political solution in Sudan. Regarding the Palestinian issue, the Minister reaffirmed the President’s steadfast position that rejects the displacement of Palestinians. He also highlighted Egypt’s ongoing efforts to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian aid, which exceeded one million tons, through the Rafah crossing, while working to preserve the Palestinian cause against schemes aimed at its liquidation and striving to achieve Palestinian consensus. The President made an intervention to emphasize that undermining state institutions is a recurring tactic intended to cause the collapse of states—a pattern clearly evident during 2011. The President pointed out that the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Interior serve as the two pillars of national security, noting that the Ministry of Interior remains a target. The President further observed that a review of events over the past few years reveals that the idea of ​​targeting and building a negative impression of the Ministry of Interior's practices is persistent, and that there is sometimes unintentional participation in building this impression through daily interaction with events. In this regard, the President stressed that this places a burden on the Ministry of Interior to adopt initiatives to improve and maintain the public's perception of the Ministry. The President reiterated that the targeting of the security institution in 2011 was among the objectives of implementing the plan against the Egyptian State. President El-Sisi emphasized the necessity of preserving state institutions, noting that the failure to protect them is what leads to the collapse of states, which in turn causes severe problems. The President pointed out that the current situation in the region illustrates this reality. President El-Sisi emphasized the need to refresh public memory and shed light on the events of 2011 to ensure that they are not repeated. The President referred to the attacks targeting security forces, the storming of police stations and prisons, and the escape of 33,000 prisoners, along with the resulting repercussions.  President El-Sisi mentioned that what had been accomplished regarding the construction, redevelopment, and modernization of reform and rehabilitation centers, stemmed from an ethical, religious, and humanitarian perspective, ensuring the principle that a person should not be punished twice for the same offense. Accordingly, the focus was placed on rebuilding individuals' character and transforming convicted persons into productive members of society. This prompted the state to convert prisons into correctional and rehabilitation centers. The President underscored the importance of arranging visits to these centers to assess the efforts made in this regard.  President El-Sisi reaffirmed that the massive damage inflicted on the country before 2011 had prompted the state to consider a new approach to the security sector's responsibilities concerning detention conditions, an area that is also being targeted. The President therefore instructed the Ministries of Defense and Interior to develop ideas and initiatives for maintaining continuous communication with the Egyptian people, ensuring that no rift occurs between the people and state institutions. President El-Sisi stated that the fundamental constants of Egypt's foreign policy since 2014 have been based on non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, refraining from conspiracies, preserving the unity of the nation-state and its institutions, refusing to engage with armed militias, cooperating in reconstruction, development, and nation-building, and pursuing positive engagement through balanced relations with all parties. The President stressed the need to to adhere to strategic balance and avoid letting the state be driven into taking actions or steps based on popular pressure. The Minister noted that the volume of treated water being reused had reached 23.2 billion cubic meters annually. These efforts aim to protect citizens from the effects of any unilateral measures that might be taken, mitigate the consequences of climate change, and respond to population growth. He also reviewed details of several projects implemented in Egypt to secure water supplies. With regard to the Ethiopian dam, the Minister noted that Egypt had exercised patience and consistently handled the situation with calm at all times. The Egyptian state had done everything within its power on this issue, both through negotiations and through the Declaration of Principles agreement, which served as a step toward demonstrating Egypt's good intentions toward the Ethiopian people. Unfortunately, however, the Ethiopian side failed to implement the Declaration of Principles. The Minister further explained that negotiations hosted by Washington had resulted in an agreement approved by the Ethiopian and Sudanese sides, as well as Egypt. The agreement was balanced and served the interests of all parties. However, the Ethiopian side withdrew before signing it. Matters subsequently evolved into different tracks that yielded no results until the Egyptian state decided not to continue negotiations. The Minister also pointed out that the Nile Basin comprises more than just Ethiopia. During President El-Sisi's tenure, Egypt's relations with the other countries of the southern Nile Basin had reached their highest levels. This cooperation had taken various forms, including Egyptian investments totaling $120 million in these countries; projects involving water wells, dams, and flood protection; technical support for establishing meteorological forecasting centers; and reciprocal visits. The Minister noted that solutions were available, but achieving them required the necessary goodwill from all parties. He noted that it would be possible to establish an electricity grid connecting Egypt with all Nile Basin countries. Consequently, electricity should not be used as a justification for building dams, since electricity is a technical issue that can be resolved in the future. He added that if the goals of building dams were to share water resources, the Nile Basin countries receive approximately 7,000 billion cubic meters of rainfall, which could be harnessed, collected, and directed toward agriculture, drinking water, or industry. The Minister explained that the Nile Basin's annual water resources range from 1,600 to 2,000 billion cubic meters, while Egypt receives 55.5 billion cubic meters annually. This represents less than 3% of the rainfall across the Nile Basin countries. This indicates that there is no water shortage across the Nile Basin as a whole, whereas Egypt faces a water crisis because of its limited water resources. Accordingly, Egypt and the other Nile Basin countries could cooperate to harness available water resources and achieve mutual benefits for all countries in the basin. President El-Sisi concluded his remarks by emphasizing the need to continue strengthening Egypt's capabilities and ensuring that Egyptian public opinion remains resolute and strong, given the numerous risks facing the country, which are not limited to the Ethiopian dam. The President added that Arab national security is indivisible, stressing that the stability of Egypt's brothers in the Gulf is a matter of concern to Egypt from a national security perspective. The President further emphasized the need to restore stability throughout the Arab world, including in Sudan, Libya, and Somalia, affirming that Egypt's support for the Gulf states is an extension of the shared Arab national security framework. President El-Sisi also pointed out that Egypt's military efforts are intended to defend the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and do not include launching attacks on Yemen. The President reiterated that the objective is to defend the Kingdom's territory and borders, as well as the territory of any other Arab state if requested of Egypt, and that Egyptian military deployment does not extend beyond Egypt's borders except to aid a sisterly country whose security and stability Egypt is keen to safeguard.

In detail, FORTEC Benelux, the Dutch subsidiary of FORTEC AG, has won two significant multi-year contracts with a combined value of several million euros with customers in the defense industry. The agreements cover the development, qualification, and series supply of customized display solutions designed to meet demanding military and environmental requirements. Revenue contributions are expected to begin in the current fiscal year 2026/2027 and continue over the coming years, providing a solid foundation for sustainable business growth. FORTEC Benelux, headquartered in Oosterhout, the Netherlands, specializes in industrial display solutions for challenging operating environments, particularly maritime applications. A key competitive advantage is FORTEC Benelux’s ability to develop and qualify customer-specific display solutions in-house. To execute the projects, the company will collaborate closely with FORTEC Integrated, leveraging complementary expertise in display and embedded computing technologies. This cooperation highlights the strength of the FORTEC Group’s integrated capabilities and its ability to deliver comprehensive solutions for demanding applications.

The contract is in the low single-digit millions (USD), although revenue from this contract will not be recognized until calendar year 2028 (and thus in FORTEC Group‘s fiscal years 2027/2028 and 2028/2029). The new contracts mark an important milestone in expanding the presence of the FORTEC Group in the defense sector, which is becoming an increasingly significant strategic growth market. “Against the backdrop of increasing European defense investments, we see substantial opportunities for further growth in this market.

That took a back seat to other pressing domestic and foreign policy issues, but in recent weeks, the President has signaled his renewed interest. In late September, Trump announced a new deal aimed at expanding America’s ability to explore for energy and minerals in the Arctic region. The deal strengthens security between the U.S., Denmark and Greenland, and while it doesn’t give the U.S. any special exploration rights, it does put limits on investments by non-NATO countries in certain sectors deemed strategic. Fast forward to October and Trump said on Truth Social that “massive” oil, gas and mineral exploration is set to get underway in Greenland, although the President was scant on details.  Tough Slogging Ahead  While the optimism on the part of Trump can be applauded, it’s also understandable if it’s met with a level of skepticism. While Greenland is rich in rare earth elements and critical minerals, extracting them has long proved difficult. For starters, there’s the climate in Greenland that makes exploration difficult. After all, it's a harsh environment defined by freezing temperatures, thick ice sheets, deep winter darkness and extremely short operating seasons. Then there is a lack of infrastructure, which poses another challenge. Greenland doesn’t have many paved roads or connections between towns and settlements. Nor is there a national power grid, which means any commercial mining project has to be built from scratch. It also doesn’t help that Greenland banned new oil and gas exploration in 2021, along with a strict ban on uranium mining that halted major rare earth projects due to radioactive byproducts. The challenges are formidable but not insurmountable. To move from exploration to commercial production requires substantial capital investment, specialized cold-weather engineering infrastructure and close cooperation with local authorities and communities. One company that checks off those boxes is Greenland Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRML), the resource development and mining company focused on the advancement of two mining projects in Greenland - the Skaergaard Project in southeast Greenland and the Sarfartoq neodymium-praseodymium rare earths project in southwest Greenland.  Greenland Mines’ Home Team Advantage  Take Greenland Mines’ flagship Skaergaard deposit, which is located in southeast Greenland, which it says is one of the world's largest undeveloped deposits of palladium, gold and platinum. The company recently completed a more than two-month 2026 field program that included 4,480 meters of diamond drilling across 17 holes. The work is intended to advance Skaergaard toward metallurgical flowsheet development, mine and infrastructure planning, resource evaluation, environmental studies and preparation of an Initial Assessment.  Then there’s Greenland Mines’ newly acquired Sarfartoq project, which is targeting neodymium and praseodymium, rare earth metals used in high-performance magnets, electric vehicle motors and wind turbines. The project is located in southwest Greenland, approximately 60 kilometres from Kangerlussuaq airport and near sheltered coastal fjord access.  That is logistically beneficial because it's close to shipping ports and an airport, which may lower infrastructure costs compared to inland Arctic mining projects. Unlike other high-profile rare earth deposits in Greenland that have been hurt by naturally occurring radioactive elements, Sarfartoq’s mineral profile does not produce uranium byproducts, reports the company.  What’s more, an independent Initial Assessment reported a high-case sensitivity of approximately $2.05 billion pre-tax NPV at an 8% real discount rate. This scenario assumes a 15% higher basket price, 15% lower operating costs and 20% lower capital costs than the base case. The assessment is preliminary, includes Inferred Mineral Resources and does not establish Mineral Reserves or guarantee economic viability. All told, Greenland Mines holds two assets that give it the potential to become a serious player in the Arctic mining sector. President Trump is paying attention to Greenland again at a time when the world needs more rare earth elements and critical minerals. Extracting them from the harsh terrain of Greenland isn’t going to be easy, but Greenland Mines seems up to the task. It has the strategic mineral deposit projects and regional access ready for the next developments. To learn more about its two Arctic projects, click here. Featured image from Shutterstock.

Civilians are suffering and dying today.”  Millions in need Across Sudan today, almost 34 million people need humanitarian support, according to the UN aid coordination office, OCHA, Mr. Fasel noted. He also cited UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) alerts that eight million Sudanese children are out of school today.  “This is not only a violation to the right of education but an immense risk factor for a future stable Sudan. Conflict-related sexual violence has re-emerged as a tactic to terrorise and humiliate the civilian population, often targeted along ethnicity or perceived affiliations,” he insisted.  In addition to discussing efforts towards a ceasefire, delegates are expected to consider a Sudanese-led “transitional political phase that reflects the aspirations” of the country’s people, by means of “an inclusive and credible dialogue”, the UN chief’s Personal Envoy, Mr. Havisto, said, insisting that “our role is to support the Sudanese in shaping their country’s shared future, with due regard for the diversity of their voices and experiences”.  Latest round of talks The talks, known officially as Consultative Meetings on Enhancing Coordination of Peace Initiatives and Efforts in Sudan, have previously taken place in Cairo twice (June 2024 and January 2026) and in Djibouti (July 2024), Nouakchott (December 2024) and Brussels (June 2025) and Cairo (January 2026).   Neither the Sudanese Government nor the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are represented at the meeting in Geneva, as the mechanism was established for mediators to coordinate their actions.  On the margins of Wednesday’s meeting in Geneva, the UN Personal Envoy was also expected to engage with key regional and international partners from the so-called “Quad” mechanism” – involving the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt – and the “Quintet” mechanism of the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the UN, the European Union and the League of Arab States.  The current talks followed a day of humanitarian-focused discussions also at UN Geneva that involved delegations, senior UN officials and international non-governmental organizations operating in Sudan including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Sudan INGO Forum.  Distributed by APO Group on behalf of UN News. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Bombardier Celebrates 40 Years of Smart Services Programs During NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Nevada 2026-10-21 · WebWire · Aerospace & defense https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=363134 - - • For 40 years, Bombardier Smart Services programs have been delivering comprehensive cost coverage across major systems, including component exchanges, avionics, tires, brakes and corrosion protection, giving customers greater cost predictability and peace of mind - • Today, more than 1,500 Bombardier aircraft are enrolled in Smart Services programs, which have logged more than 11 million total flight hours - • Smart Services' portfolio continues to evolve with offerings such as...

Students boarded Delta’s 26th annual DREAM Flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport for the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile, Ala., for a firsthand look at the careers that could one day be theirs. Students from local Atlanta schools and organizations including, Rex Mill Middle, Elite Scholars, the Kindezi Schools, Morrow High School, OBAP ACE Academy and The Atlanta Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen S.T.R.E.A.M. Program spent the day exploring what it takes to connect the world through flight and meeting the people who make it happen. Rotating through four interactive experiences, students toured the Airbus A320 Final Assembly Line and took part in a scavenger hunt on aircraft manufacturing. They tackled aviation-themed activities and challenges at the Old Canteen Center, operated drones and flight simulators at Flight Works and explored the Advanced Manufacturing Program and facilities at Bishop State Community College. Before heading home, students heard from a panel of Delta and Airbus leaders at Bishop State, including Kurt Ford, Managing Director of Flight Training; William Cossey, Managing Director of Supply Chain Management; Tyesha Gray, Director of Human Resources; Julian Anugom, Director of In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity; and Roderick Rogers, Head of A220 Quality Product Improvement at Airbus. These leaders shared their own career journeys and answered questions about navigating the industry. “Every student on this flight has the potential to become a pilot, engineer, technician or leader. Representation can be a powerful catalyst for unlocking potential, especially when students see people who look like them building, flying and leading in this industry.  Delta’s DREAM Flight helps them better understand the variety of career pathways in the aviation industry,” said Keyra Lynn Johnson, Chief Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Social Impact Officer.  DREAM Flight’s founder honored This year, former Delta pilot and U.S. Air Force veteran John Bailey was inducted into the OBAP Hall of Fame at the organization’s annual conference. The honor recognizes Captain Bailey’s long career dedicated to opening doors for young people who dream of flying, from helping bring OBAP’s ACE Academy to Delta to founding Delta’s DREAM Flight. After flying military transport aircraft for the U.S. Air Force, including missions in Vietnam, Bailey joined Delta in 1973. As a newly hired pilot based in Boston, he often flew round-robin charter flights around the city for terminally ill children, and those flights sparked the idea to create a similar experience for kids who dreamed of becoming pilots. In July 2000, Bailey piloted the first DREAM Flight to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., with 150 students from Atlanta City Schools on board. An all-Black crew of Delta pilots volunteered their time to operate the flight, and members of the Tuskegee Airmen greeted students in Washington. They returned to Atlanta on time, and 26 years later, DREAM Flight remains a one-day journey from takeoff to touchdown. Growing the next generation of aviators  Delta’s DREAM Flight bridges the gap between early curiosity and future career options by building students’ interest in aviation through fun, hands-on educational experiences and pairing them with mentors. By making these foundational experiences readily available and financially accessible, Delta’s partnership with OBAP has successfully reached more than 4,000 young people to date. Many DREAM Flight alumni have gone on to build careers at Delta, including: First Officer Kyle Foley was just 12 years old when he boarded the very first DREAM Flight in 2000. Seeing the pilots and controls up close for the first time set him on a path that led to a career flying for Delta. First Officer Curtis Jackson took DREAM Flight as a teen and grew up looking up to Bailey as one of Delta’s pioneering pilots. Bailey’s advice to keep pushing himself until he reached his goals stayed with Jackson on his path to the flight deck. DREAM Flight is one of several Delta programs, including WING Flight, ACE Academy and the National Flight Academy, that introduce students to aviation careers and expand the aviation talent pipeline. Working together to expand horizons Airbus and Delta have long shared common goals for the future of travel from the talent in the industry to the aircraft to get us there. Earlier this year, Delta announced the addition of 31 next-generation Airbus widebody aircraft to its fleet, an investment that will fuel international growth and accelerate fleet renewal in the years to come.  “We talk a lot about the future of aviation, but you can’t actually build that future without bringing new voices and fresh perspectives into the fold,” said Roderick Rogers, Head of A220 Quality Product Improvement in Mobile. “Opening our doors in Mobile to Delta’s DREAM flight is our way of showing these students that there is a very real, accessible place for them in this industry, whether that's in the cockpit or right here on the manufacturing floor.” Mobile is one of five cities worldwide where Airbus commercial aircraft are assembled. The Mobile Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility has more than 2,000 employees who produce A320 and A220 Family aircraft for customers in the U.S. and Latin America. Earlier this fall, Delta and Airbus also partnered on Delta’s 11th annual WING (Women Inspiring Next Generation) Flight, which brought 160 young women from Atlanta to the same Mobile facility in celebration of Girls in Aviation Day. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Solstar Space Demonstrates Space-to-Space Connectivity During NASA Proximity Operations Technology Demonstration Mission Relaying Data to Earth via Iridium Network 2026-10-21 · PRWeb · Aerospace & defense https://www.prweb.com/releases/solstar-space-demonstrates-space-to-space-connectivity-during-nasa-proximity-operations-technology-demonstration-mission-relaying-data-to-earth-via-iridium-network-302914653.html Solstar's space Wi-Fi technology connects NASA's R5-S10 spacecraft with Momentus' Vigoride-7 and relays mission data to NASA Johnson, opening new opportunities for on-orbit operations.

This new activity aims to support revenue growth, broaden the commercial offering and develop the Company's customer base in Quebec and other Canadian regions. Specifically, this unit will allow CHARBONE to fill hydrogen and helium cylinders directly from the onset at its Sorel-Tracy site, with the ability to expand to other industrial gases and specialized mixtures in the future. These cylinders, also known as gas cylinders, are used to store, transport, and supply the gases required for various customer applications. CHARBONE will thus directly manage this step in preparing the products for its customers. This new activity represents a further step in the development of CHARBONE's integrated platform. It aims to expand the markets accessible to the Company and generate new revenue opportunities through an offering tailored to the needs of industrial, commercial, and institutional clients. A new lever for business development The filling unit will primarily serve the Quebec market, while also supporting CHARBONE's business development elsewhere in Canada. Target customers include private companies and distribution partners, including independent distributors. The offering will also address supply needs related to certain government contracts and the defense sector. By adding cylinder filling to the activities of its Sorel-Tracy site, CHARBONE is internalizing a step previously sources externally, which is expected to support margin improvement and enhance control over product quality and delivery timelines. This enables the Company to expand the services offered to its customers, develop new business relationships and strengthen its position in industrial gases. Dave Gagnon, President and CEO of CHARBONE, declares: “Our goal is to make Sorel-Tracy a growth engine for CHARBONE. By handling the filling of helium cylinders ourselves, and later industrial gases and specialty mixtures, we are expanding our offering and opening up new opportunities to grow our revenue with a diverse clientele. We are building a Canadian industrial gas group with the ambition of becoming a leading supplier for companies seeking to source their gases from a Canadian partner, reliably. Our priority is to develop lasting relationships with our customers and translate this business expansion into long-term value creation for our shareholders.” Expanding Market Presence Across Quebec and CanadaThis initiative further develops CHARBONE beyond hydrogen production, expanding the activities and services offered within its industrial gas platform. Helium, in particular, represents a high-demand industrial gas with constrained supply, making direct cylinder filling a strategically important capability for CHARBONE’s customers across sectors like semiconductors, aerospace and defense, and advanced manufacturing. The Company intends to leverage this new unit to increase its presence in Quebec and develop business opportunities with Canadian buyers seeking a long-term supply partner.

Recognising that a mission-ready force depends on the well-being of its personnel and their families, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) continues to strengthen welfare support systems through accessible, efficient and responsive services. In a significant step towards enhancing welfare service delivery, KDF launched a Claims Management System and inaugurated a Regional Welfare Centre Office at Gilgil Garrison, aimed at streamlining compensation claims, improving administrative efficiency and bringing essential services closer to personnel and their families. The event was attended by Gilgil Garrison Commander, Brigadier Edward Nyamao, and Chief of Compensation and Welfare at Defence Headquarters, Brigadier Rodah Mwasigwa, alongside senior officers, officers and service personnel. Speaking during the launch, Brigadier Nyamao emphasised the importance of identifying and training designated welfare personnel within units to ensure effective implementation of the new system. He urged commanders and administrators to uphold confidentiality, accountability and timely resolution of welfare concerns. Brigadier Mwasigwa underscored the strategic importance of personnel welfare in sustaining morale, strengthening operational effectiveness and enhancing force readiness. She noted that decentralising welfare services would improve accessibility, reduce delays in compensation claims and provide timely support to serving personnel, veterans and their families. The event also featured a welfare sensitisation session, providing personnel with information on available services and an opportunity to engage directly with welfare representatives on procedures for accessing support. The newly established office will serve personnel within Western Command, strengthening communication, records management and claims processing while ensuring more responsive welfare administration. The initiative forms part of a broader KDF programme to establish welfare offices across 23 regions, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to personnel-centred service delivery. By investing in the welfare and dignity of its personnel, veterans and families, KDF is strengthening the human foundation of military effectiveness, fostering a motivated, resilient and mission-ready force capable of safeguarding national security.

Battery-powered and always-on devices cannot afford a camera that streams all day to catch a few seconds of activity. They need a module that idles at very low power, wakes when something moves, and then captures a frame that holds detail in both bright and dark regions. As a 4K Super Low Power USB Camera, the Falcon-830CRS combines a super low power mode with wake on motion, and two dynamic range modes, line interleaved HDR and enhanced dynamic range, for scenes of different contrast. Auto exposure and auto white balance keep the picture usable from the first frame. As an 8MP Low Power USB Camera and a 4K Color USB 3.2 Gen 1 Camera, it connects over a standard cable. Designed for smart security, retail in-store, kiosk, and drone systems, the module helps designers spend power only when there is something to see. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Spaceport Cornwall and Dawn Aerospace Explore Reusable Suborbital Flights from Newquay 2026-10-20 · Travel PR News · Travel, Aerospace & defense https://travelprnews.com/article/spaceport-cornwall-and-dawn-aerospace-explore-reusable-suborbital-flights-from-newquay/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spaceport-cornwall-and-dawn-aerospace-explore-reusable-suborbital-flights-from-newquay The proposed DASH UK service would use Aurora runway-launched spaceplanes for microgravity research, aerospace testing and other specialist missions, subject to operational and regulatory planning.

Organised by UKHCA in collaboration with the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS), UKHCA 2026: Hearing Conservation – Making an Impact will bring together experts from regulation, occupational health, audiology, academia and industry, to explore how hearing health can be better protected across workplaces and everyday life. The conference comes as attention increasingly shifts from simply identifying noise exposure to preventing hearing damage through better risk management, effective hearing protection, health surveillance and greater public awareness. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will provide an update on its new workplace noise campaign, including the regulator’s priorities and what these mean for organisations managing occupational noise. The conference programme will also look beyond traditional workplace exposure. Experts will explore the effects of recreational noise on young people’s hearing, how to engage Gen Z with hearing protection, and the implementation of the World Health Organization’s Global Standard for Safe Listening at music venues and events. Other sessions will examine hearing protection effectiveness and the impact of training, occupational health and audiology practice, safe noise exposure for hearing aid users, noise risk management and return on investment, and how case law has shaped claims for hearing damage. The wider consequences of hearing loss will also be considered, including research examining the association between hearing impairment and depression among older adults. Clare Forshaw, Founder and Director of UKHCA, said: “Protecting hearing is about much more than measuring noise and handing out hearing protection. We need to understand how people are exposed to sound, how they use protection, how we identify hearing damage early and, most importantly, how we encourage people to value their hearing before it is affected. “This year’s programme brings together workplace noise, public health, research and real-world experience because preventing hearing damage requires all of those perspectives.” The conference will feature contributions from organisations including HSE, RNID, the British Society of Audiology, the Ministry of Defence and Tinnitus UK, alongside researchers from UK and international universities. For the first time, the conference will also include the UKHCA Hearing Conservation Champions Awards, recognising individuals and organisations making a positive contribution to hearing conservation. Professor Kevin Bampton, CEO of the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS), said: “Noise-induced hearing damage is preventable, but prevention depends on moving beyond compliance and treating hearing as something worth protecting throughout people’s working and wider lives. “The strength of UKHCA is that it brings together disciplines that do not always sit in the same room – occupational hygiene, audiology, acoustics, occupational health, research and regulation. That collaboration is essential if we want to turn what we know about hearing conservation into better prevention in practice.” For the full programme and to book your place, visit the UKHCA 2026 conference page. -ENDS- ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ASTS Shareholder Alert: Investors With Losses May Seek to Lead the Class Action in AST SpaceMobile, Inc.

Guests stepped into the world of Star Trek, exploring franchise artifacts and ideas that have inspired generations to dream about the future of flight. From there, guests viewed the aviation technologies taking shape today, including JetZero’s blended wing body aircraft and Joby’s electric air taxi. Select customers also participated in a collaborative innovation workshop alongside the Delta Sustainable Skies Lab partners to explore real-world solutions for aviation decarbonization. The two-day event marked the first time Delta customers were invited inside JetZero’s facility, and heard more about the blended-wing-body aircraft concept, which has the potential to be up to 50% more fuel efficient than today's conventional aircraft designs. Customers also had the opportunity to share feedback on next-generation aircraft concepts designed to advance sustainability while enhancing the customer experience. For 60 years, the Star Trek franchise has invited audiences to look beyond what seems possible and imagine how technology could transform the way people move, communicate and explore. Through Delta’s partnership with Paramount+, that spirit of imagination became the starting point for an immersive journey into the real-world aircraft concepts and technologies Delta and its partners are advancing today. "We launched the Sustainable Skies Lab as an innovation incubator to partner with transformative companies bringing revolutionary technologies to life," said Amelia DeLuca, Chief Sustainability Officer for Delta Air Lines. "Where the future of flight once lived in imagination, today it is taking shape through collaboration and innovation. Working together with partners like JetZero and Joby, we're accelerating breakthrough ideas and giving customers a front-row seat to the work that will redefine travel." “JetZero will deliver the world’s first all-wing airplane, which will be up to 50% more fuel efficient while elevating the customer experience,” said Tom O’Leary, CEO and Co-Founder, JetZero. “Delta Air Lines was our first airline collaborator, which helps ensure the passengers’ voice is heard in the design process as we eliminate major travel friction points. Hearing directly from Delta’s SkyMiles members is invaluable as we approach the Demonstrator’s first flight at the end of 2027.” Delta x Star Trek event selects 2 Bringing the future of flight on board and home To continue celebrating Star Trek’s 60th anniversary, Delta and Paramount+ launched new customer offerings across the travel journey: Six decades of Star Trek at 30,000 feet: Delta customers can explore a curated Star Trekanthology through the airline’s in-flight entertainment, bringing together beloved classics and newer favorites from across the franchise’s 60-year history, all at their seatback screens.” A one-of-a-kind SkyMiles Experience: Members redeemed miles for access to the event through Delta SkyMiles Experiences, connecting them with a passion point and opening the door to an experience made possible by Delta and its partners. Through the Delta Sustainable Skies Lab, Delta continues to build cross-industry relationships that support its short-, medium- and long-term decarbonization goals while keeping customers connected to the ideas and innovations that could shape the future of flight. Delta’s Sustainable Skies Lab partner, Joby Aviation, is developing an electric air taxi that reimagines how customers get to and from airports. Joby already completed demonstration flights across New York City earlier this year. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Maris-Tech Introduces Uranus-Drones-V2, a Video and AI Processing Platform for Drone Applications 2026-10-20 · GlobeNewswire · AI, SaaS, Media, Aerospace & defense https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/20/3384546/0/en/maris-tech-introduces-uranus-drones-v2-a-video-and-ai-processing-platform-for-drone-applications.html The Company expects the new platform to generate orders from existing and new drone manufacturers ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Two Durabook Products Win Military + Aerospace Electronics 2026 MAE Innovators Awards 2026-10-20 · GlobeNewswire · Aerospace & defense https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/20/3384543/0/en/two-durabook-products-win-military-aerospace-electronics-2026-mae-innovators-awards.html Durabook’s Z14I-HG Rugged Workstation and R10 Rugged Tablet are named Silver Honorees by the military and aerospace engineering community Durabook’s Z14I-HG Rugged Workstation and R10 Rugged Tablet are named Silver Honorees by the military and aerospace engineering community ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Everfox Awarded $90 Million U.S. Army Contract Vehicle to Enable High-Assurance Data Sharing and Management 2026-10-20 · Business Wire · Automotive, Aerospace & defense https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/articles/everfox-awarded-90-million-u-130000031.html Five-year IDIQ enables the ease of purchasing the company's Cross Domain Solutions and Services HERNDON, Va., October 20, 2026--Everfox, the defense technology company delivering trusted mission data for decision advantage, announced today it has been awarded a five-year, $90 million indefinite-deliver ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— First Breach Drone Prototype Reaches 161 km/h (100 mph) in Flight Testing 2026-10-20 · Newswire.com · SaaS, Aerospace & defense https://www.newswire.com/news/first-breach-drone-prototype-reaches-161-km-h-100-mph-in-flight-testing Prototype hits the maximum groundspeed permitted under FAA Part 107 without a waiver; Company is pursuing FAA authorization to test beyond it.

The inaugural daily scheduled flight establishes a highly competitive alternative on the heavily travelled Australia-Indonesia corridor. The strategic expansion from Melbourne follows TransNusa’s exceptional growth in the Australian market, where it rapidly captured a 20 percent market share in Perth by increasing its scheduled flight frequency to 21 by July 2026 from just 3 weekly flights in April 2025. This showcases the confidence and loyalty the TransNusa brand has garnered in the Australian market within 15 short months. Datuk Bernard Francis, Group Chief Executive Officer of TransNusa, speaking on the historic launch stated that this new daily Melbourne-Bali route marks a significant milestone in the airline’s growth trajectory, shifting the paradigm from conventional point-to-point operations to positioning Bali as a primary international transit hub for Australian travellers. “The launch of the Melbourne-Bali route represents a monumental step forward in TransNusa’s international expansion strategy. It strengthens Bali’s position as a premier gateway between Australia and Asia, while giving travellers a compelling new choice that combines connectivity, value, and a distinctly premium travel experience,” said the Malaysian-born aviation industry captain, Datuk Bernard. “Bali remains a prime global holiday destination, and by connecting it directly to Melbourne, we are providing travellers from Australia with a highly competitive, premium flying alternative,” he added. “TransNusa has always strived to deliver beyond expectations as our aim is to provide reliable, comfortable, and affordable travel choices across the region,” Datuk Bernard explained. Datuk Bernard Francis... TransNusa offers a Beyond Bali network connectivity, allowing passengers to expand their experience and planning with smooth transitions to world class local and international island destination To celebrate this milestone, TransNusa continues to offer exclusive introductory fares, with standard basic seats starting from just AUD299. Distinct from traditional low-cost competitors, even TransNusa’s standard tickets include generous baggage provisions alongside baseline comfort amenities such as complimentary water and snacks. Strategic Schedule and Beyond Bali Network Connectivity Engineered to seamlessly accommodate both leisure holidaymakers and business travellers, the route operates on an optimized overnight and morning schedule: Flight 8B 18 departs Bali (DPS) at 20:45 from I Gusti Ngurah International Airport, arriving at Melbourne Airport (MEL) at 05:40 the following morning. Flight 8B 19 departs Melbourne Airport (MEL) at 06:25, arriving in Bali (DPS) at 09:40. Initially, TransNusa will operate four flights weekly, scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The airline will increase its frequency to seven scheduled flights weekly from November 15th onwards. The synchronized schedule allows passengers from Australia to seamlessly transition “Beyond Bali” to 11 prime island destinations across the Indonesian archipelago, including the preserved marine ecosystems of Wakatobi and the pristine islands of Manado, Bima, Surabaya, and Lombok. Additionally, the network provides timely, hassle-free transits to leading global commercial and tourism hubs across Asia, including Guangzhou (China), Singapore, and Phuket (Thailand). “Today, we are celebrating more than just a single point-to-point connection,” added Datuk Bernard. “Our goal is to design ultimate travel experiences. By scheduling timely transits from Bali, we are giving travellers from Australia complete flexibility to extend their journeys seamlessly to exotic domestic havens or major regional capitals across China and Southeast Asia.” Tickets for the new daily Melbourne–Bali route are available for immediate purchase. Travellers can book the tickets via the official website at transnusa.co.id or through authorized travel booking platforms. About TransNusa Established in 2005 and revitalized under new ownership and an international management team lead by Datuk Bernard Francis in 2019, TransNusa transformed its operations to become the first Premium Service Carrier in the Asia Pacific region in 2023. Operating a modern fleet of upgraded aircraft tailored for superior comfort and flexibility, the airline is based out of Jakarta and Bali. Internationally, TransNusa services major regional hubs including Singapore, Guangzhou, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Perth, Bangkok, and now Melbourne.

Following the completion of major portfolio and capital measures in recent months, the focus is now shifting to operational execution. The three key initiatives to achieve profitable growth and an adjusted EBIT margin of more than 10% are Sales Push, Footprint, and Transformation. These initiatives aim to increase the utilization of NORMA Group's existing asset base through profitable business while reducing its structural cost base. In doing so, NORMA Group is laying the foundation for growth, margin improvement, and stronger cash generation. Birgit Seeger, CEO of NORMA Group: “With our NewNORMA strategy, we are laying the groundwork for a successful future for NORMA Group. We have a strong industrial foundation that we now intend to leverage even more effectively. To achieve this, we are intensifying our commercial activities, making better use of our production assets, and reducing our structural costs. This will strengthen our competitiveness, increase profitability, and improve cash generation. Our vision is a focused, high-performing NORMA Group – an Industrial Powerhouse for connecting technology.” Two strategic business units with clearly defined profiles The NewNORMA strategy is based on the realignment of the two clearly defined strategic business units, Mobility & New Energy and Industry Applications. The two business units contribute to NORMA Group's ambition with distinct value-creation priorities: Mobility & New Energy forms the Group's resilient core business. The realignment of this business unit focuses on strengthening competitiveness, improving the utilization of the existing asset base, increasing profitability, and ensuring resilient cash generation. Industry Applications is the Group's driver of profitable growth. Going forward, the business unit aims to expand selectively into structurally attractive growth markets, tap into additional sources of growth, and broaden NORMA Group's sales base. NORMA Group is leveraging its existing engineering expertise in fastening, connecting, and fluid-handling technology to develop new fields of application. These include data centers, battery energy storage systems, heat pumps, and household appliances. Additional orders will largely be served using existing production capacity, thereby improving capacity utilization and fixed-cost absorption. Starting 2027, NORMA Group will consistently align its internal management structure with the two global strategic business units. Under the new SBU-led operating model, both business units will assume end-to-end responsibility for customers, pricing, growth, capacity utilization, and financial performance. By bringing together commercial, operational, and financial responsibility under clear business ownership, NORMA Group is shortening decision-making processes and creating the conditions for faster and more effective execution of the NewNORMA strategy. More business on a more efficient operating base NORMA Group is implementing its NewNORMA strategy through three closely interconnected initiatives: As part of its Sales Push, NORMA Group is intensifying commercial execution, strengthening customer relationships, and systematically winning profitable business to improve the utilization of existing capacity. To this end, Sales and Engineering are working more closely together. The Company is leveraging proven technologies more effectively across new customers and applications and increasingly aligning pricing decisions with the market. Through target costing, required cost structures are defined even before a contract is awarded, enabling the Company to offer competitive prices while maintaining profitability. Initial successes are already visible: In the first nine months of 2026, cumulative lifetime sales won in the Mobility & New Energy business unit increased by approximately 45% compared with the prior-year period. In addition, NORMA Group is consistently aligning itself with demand, costs, manufacturing expertise, and customer requirements. In doing so, the company flexibly allocates orders across its global network. This improves plant utilization, reduces unit costs, and strengthens the company’s competitive position in new tenders. Measures already implemented or underway include the consolidation of manufacturing sites in China, the concentration of production in Mexico, and the closure of a distribution center in Australia, as well as the planned closure of the regional office in Singapore. At the same time, NORMA Group is strengthening its Shared Service Center in Novi Sad, Serbia. Another key focus is the manufacturing footprint in EMEA. The existing network, which comprises nine production sites, is currently structurally operating below capacity. NORMA Group therefore intends to consolidate production, concentrate manufacturing volumes at fewer sites, and make more targeted use of best-cost locations. By 2031, the company expects these measures to generate an additional annualized EBIT contribution of approximately EUR 20 to 30 million. In addition to generating more business and improving capacity utilization, NORMA Group is reducing its structural cost base through its transformation program. To this end, the Company is simplifying its organization, reducing complexity, standardizing and automating core processes, and strengthening performance management through clear financial KPIs. Based on the measures already initiated and the additional measures under the transformation program, as well as the EMEA footprint optimization, NORMA Group expects to achieve total additional annualized EBIT savings of approximately EUR 70 to 90 million by 2031 compared to fiscal year 2026. Financial ambition through 2031 NORMA Group aims to achieve average annual currency-adjusted net sales growth of 1 to 3% through 2031. Growth momentum is expected to increasingly come from the Industry Applications business unit, while Mobility & New Energy will contribute to the financial ambition primarily through operational improvements. The adjusted EBIT margin is targeted to exceed 10% by FY3(1). Profitable volume growth, an improved product mix, higher capacity utilization, and a lower structural cost base are expected to drive sustainable margin improvement. Improved operational profitability forms the basis for stronger cash generation. By 2031, NORMA Group aims to achieve cash conversion¹ of over 70%, supported by disciplined working capital management and capital expenditure. Okan Celiker, Group CFO: “Our financial ambition is underpinned by clear operational measures that we have already started implementing and will continue to expand systematically. We are combining profitable volume growth and an improved mix with higher capacity utilization, lower structural costs, and strict working capital and investment discipline. This is how we will improve our margins and translate operational improvements into stronger cash flows.” Disciplined capital allocation and new dividend policy NORMA Group aligns its capital allocation with strategic priorities, expected returns, and financial performance. Its highest priority is to maintain a strong and efficient balance sheet. In the medium term, NORMA Group targets a ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA of up to 1.5x. Within this framework, the Company prioritizes organic, profitable growth with a clear focus on increasing productivity. This includes, in particular, the continued implementation of the Sales Push and targeted investments in research and development. NORMA Group will only allocate capital where the strategic fit and expected risk-adjusted returns meet its defined value-creation criteria. The Management Board of NORMA Group has resolved to change the Company's dividend policy. Starting in fiscal year 2027, the dividend payout will target a payout ratio of at least 10% of the adjusted Group Net Income, provided that the Company's economic situation and liquidity position permit. Subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting, the dividend will be paid once a year for the preceding fiscal year. With the revised dividend policy, NORMA Group will maintain a reliable base dividend while increasing financial flexibility to invest in profitable growth and additionally carry out potential share buybacks. Share buybacks are conducted taking into account the company's financial flexibility and alternative uses of capital. The presentations from Strategy Update 2026 and further information are available on the Company's website: www.normagroup.com/global/en/investor-relations/publications-and-events/strategy-update-2026 (1) Cash conversion is defined as adjusted EBIT plus depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, less investments from operating business, the change in trade working capital, and cash outflows from income taxes, divided by adjusted EBIT.

In line with this commitment, General Service Officer (GSO) Cadets at the Kenya Military Academy (KMA) have successfully completed a two-week field training exercise conducted in the general areas of Lanet and Gilgil. The exercise was designed to enhance the cadets’ tactical proficiency through urban warfare operations and exposure to the evolving dynamics of asymmetric warfare, strengthening their combat readiness and ability to operate effectively in demanding operational environments. Through practical field scenarios, the cadets translated classroom instruction into essential military skills, reinforcing discipline, teamwork, resilience and leadership while sharpening their critical thinking and decision-making under pressure. The exercise also provided an opportunity to assess the cadets’ ability to respond to emerging threats, adapt to changing battlefield conditions and execute tactical tasks with confidence and professionalism. The successful completion of the exercise underscores KMA’s commitment to producing competent and professionally grounded future officers capable of addressing contemporary security challenges.

In this spirit, Roman Catholic faithful and their families gathered at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish, Embakasi Garrison, for the annual Parish Family Day, an occasion that brought together worship, fellowship and celebration. The event also featured the official opening and blessing of the Cardinal Otunga Multipurpose Hall by the Bishop of the Military Ordinariate of Kenya, Rt. Rev. Wallace Ng’ang’a Gachihi. The celebration provided an opportunity for military families and members of the parish community to come together in prayer, thanksgiving and fellowship, while reaffirming the importance of strong family bonds in nurturing a united and resilient military community. A key highlight of the occasion was the official opening and blessing of the Cardinal Otunga Multipurpose Hall by Bishop Gachihi. The facility is intended to support parish activities, pastoral programmes and community gatherings, providing a dedicated space for fellowship and engagement among members of the parish community. A commemorative plaque at the hall records its official opening and blessing today 18 October 2026. In his homily, Bishop Gachihi urged the congregation to respect those in positions of authority, whether in the country, workplaces or the Church, noting that respect and cooperation make it easier for leaders to discharge their responsibilities. He encouraged the faithful to live lives that please God rather than seeking to impress people, emphasising the importance of making choices that glorify God and reflect Christian values in everyday life. The event also highlighted the Sacrament of Confirmation as an important milestone in the Christian faith journey. The sacrament strengthens candidates in their faith and deepens their commitment to Christian values and the life of the Church. The celebration underscored the importance of spiritual guidance and family support in promoting the well-being of KDF personnel and their families.

This spirit of service was demonstrated by the Kenya Air Force Parade Team, currently deployed in Eldoret for national parade duties ahead of Mashujaa Day celebrations at Kipchoge Keino Stadium, through a humanitarian outreach to Jawabu Rehabilitation Centre. The initiative, undertaken under the KDF Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) framework, was coordinated by Warrant Officer Class Two (WO2) Emanuel Kolil and WO2 Mark Mutai. The team donated foodstuffs and essential personal items, while engaging the children through mentorship, encouragement and moments of shared joy. The personnel also recognised the dedication of the centre’s management, caregivers and staff in providing care, rehabilitation and support to vulnerable children. Despite a demanding schedule of parade rehearsals, air display preparations and ceremonial drills, the team took time to extend a helping hand, demonstrating that the true spirit of military service is reflected not only in operational excellence and discipline, but also in humanity, compassion and selfless service. Warmly received by the children and staff, the outreach reinforced the KDF’s enduring commitment to community welfare, strengthened civil-military relations and underscored the importance of leaving a positive impact beyond the call of duty. As the nation prepares to celebrate Mashujaa Day, the initiative serves as a reminder that heroism is expressed not only through courage and sacrifice in defence of the nation, but also through acts of kindness that restore hope, uphold dignity and transform lives.

The final day of African Mining Week (AMW) 2026 in Cape Town on Friday featured a series of technical presentations examining what Africa’s mineral value chains require beyond the mine, from financing and regulation to skills, power and tailings safety. Financing Value Beyond the Mine Danie Dörfling-Kruger, Head of Business Development and Marketing at Moore Infinity, opened the day with a presentation arguing that the value of Africa’s minerals is realized in transport corridors and priced in the cost of capital. His analysis estimated that cutting DRC copper transit times from 30 days to 10 could release about $2.7 billion in working capital and save roughly $270 million a year in financing costs. He called on governments to match processing mandates to installed capacity, noting that projects anchored to contracted offtake and transport volumes are the ones securing finance. New Investment Rules in Southern Africa Tatenda Mafuriranwa, Partner for Audit, Risk and ESG Advisory at HLB Zambia, outlined regulatory changes in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Botswana aimed at increasing domestic processing, including Zimbabwe’s planned ban on lithium concentrate exports from January 2027 and Zambia’s plan to raise procurement reserved for local suppliers from 20% to 40% over five years. “ESG is no longer a byword. It is no longer a brochure,” he said. Developing Africa’s Human Mineral Wealth Noleen Pauls, Board Chair of Women in Mining South Africa, a non-profit network supporting women in the country’s mining industry, called for human capital to be measured with the same rigor as mineral resources. Citing the Minerals Council South Africa, she noted that women now make up 21% of South Africa’s mining workforce, up from about 12% in the late 2010s. “Human resource loss is still resource loss, even when it doesn’t appear in a production chart,” Pauls explained. Investment Opportunities in the DRC Thierry Naweji, Executive Chairman of the SA-DRC Chamber of Commerce, which facilitates trade and investment between the two countries, highlighted power generation as a key opportunity, noting that his company has identified nine projects capable of producing about 800 MW in the southern DRC. He also pointed to a planned battery factory in Zambia’s Copperbelt using lithium from the DRC’s Manono deposit. “There is a lot of money to be made in the DRC, because everything is needed,” he told delegates. Trusted Data for Safer Tailings Pieter-Paul Mooijman, VP Market Growth at Insight Terra, a provider of monitoring software for mining assets, addressed tailings safety and compliance with global and South African standards. “Today, data sits in separate systems and spreadsheets, and broken sensors can go unnoticed for weeks. Meanwhile, dams are getting bigger and storms heavier,” he observed. Insight Terra’s platform combines sensor readings, manual inspections and satellite data in a virtual twin of mine assets, giving operators earlier warning of ground movement and weather risk.

Two trucks delivered a total of 50.164 metric tonnes of marine gasoil on 2 October 2026, marking a further step in the company’s expanding distribution capabilities across Romanian energy markets. The operation reflects the broader commercial momentum Alkagesta has built across European energy markets throughout 2026. Earlier in the year, the company secured access to the NATO Central Europe Pipeline System, commencing Jet A1 deliveries into the European aviation market at a time of acute supply pressure across the sector — with increased military use of the pipeline adding further complexity to civilian fuel distribution. Alkagesta also completed its first crude oil transactions during the period, including end-to-end delivery of approximately 1.07 million barrels to the Far East. Across sustainable fuels, Alkagesta secured a multi-year biofuel storage agreement at Pantank in Antwerp and a five-year feedstock offtake agreement for Used Cooking Oil, strengthening its position across the European biofuels value chain. In Asia, the Singapore hub reached monthly marine fuel trading volumes of approximately 250,000 metric tonnes in its first full year of operations, while the fertilizer desk continued to navigate a market shaped by significant supply chain disruption and food security pressures across global agricultural markets. The Constanța operation adds truck-to-vessel delivery to Alkagesta’s distribution capabilities in Romania — a market that has played an increasingly important role in the company’s regional petroleum products and biofuels activities throughout 2026. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Elbit Systems Awarded $235 Million Contract to Supply EXTRA-MR Rockets and PULS Launchers to a European Country 2026-10-19 · PR Newswire · Finance, Aerospace & defense https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/elbit-systems-awarded-235-million-contract-to-supply-extra-mr-rockets-and-puls-launchers-to-a-european-country-302912363.html HAIFA, Israel, Oct. 19, 2026 -- Elbit Systems Ltd.

A committee tasked with developing the Military Veterans Policy, led by the Chief of Compensation and Welfare at Defence Headquarters, Brigadier Rhodah Mwasigwa, paid a courtesy call on the Commander Kenya Navy, Major General Paul Otieno, at Kenya Navy Headquarters to seek his strategic guidance and input on the draft policy. The initiative builds on the enactment of the Military Veterans Act No. 18 of 2022 and the approval of the Military Veterans Regulations in 2025, which established a legal and institutional foundation for the administration of veterans’ affairs. The proposed policy seeks to address existing administrative and operational gaps, strengthen institutional coordination and enhance the efficiency and accessibility of veterans’ services. Constituted on 22 July 2026, the committee is developing a policy framework prioritising equitable access to benefits, economic empowerment opportunities and decentralised service delivery at the county level. These measures are intended to improve service accessibility, streamline administrative processes and establish sustainable mechanisms for supporting veterans and their welfare needs. The engagement underscored the importance of leadership consultation in developing responsive, practical and sustainable policies that address the evolving needs of the military veteran community. The policy development initiative represents a significant step towards a more inclusive, coordinated and veteran-centred welfare system, reaffirming the KDF’s enduring responsibility to those who have served the nation with honour, dedication and sacrifice. By strengthening post-service support, the KDF continues to reinforce the principle that the nation’s obligation to its military personnel extends beyond active service, safeguarding their dignity, welfare and well-being long after they leave uniform.

On the second day of his KDF Day commemorative tour, General Kahariri visited troops deployed under Operation Maliza Uhalifu (OMU) in the Doldol region and personnel and trainees at the School of Military Engineering (SOME) in Archers Post, Isiolo. He was accompanied by the Commander Kenya Army, Lieutenant General David Ketter; Commander Combat Engineers Brigade, Brigadier Maurice Wasomi; and other senior military officers. The visit underscored the importance of sustaining operational effectiveness, strengthening institutional capabilities and recognising personnel engaged in ongoing efforts to dismantle banditry networks and restore security in affected areas. Addressing personnel at both locations, General Kahariri explained that commemorating KDF Day alongside troops deployed in operational areas marked a deliberate shift from conventional celebrations. He emphasised the importance of recognising service members whose demanding operational responsibilities often prevent them from participating in national commemorations. Highlighting this year’s KDF Day theme, “Soldier-Centric Approach to Enhanced National Security and Development,” the CDF reaffirmed that personnel remain central to the KDF’s operational effectiveness and institutional strength. He stressed that investing in their welfare, professional development and operational capabilities is fundamental to mission success. General Kahariri further outlined his vision for a technologically advanced, agile and mission-ready force capable of responding effectively to evolving security threats. Describing the KDF as a national treasure, he emphasised its critical role in safeguarding national sovereignty, supporting disaster response and contributing to national development. He reiterated his commitment to modernising military institutions, strengthening training infrastructure and equipping personnel with the technological capabilities and professional skills required to meet emerging operational demands. On troop welfare, the CDF highlighted ongoing initiatives aimed at improving service members’ quality of life, including the affordable mortgage scheme, enhanced training opportunities and programmes designed to strengthen professional competence and career development. He also cautioned personnel against indiscipline, financial mismanagement and exploitative lending practices, particularly shylocking, stressing that personal responsibility, financial prudence and adherence to military values are essential to operational effectiveness. The CDF urged all ranks to uphold the highest standards of discipline, integrity and professionalism while remaining focused on their constitutional mandate. The visit reinforced the KDF leadership’s determination to build a well-equipped, professionally competent and motivated force, anchored on troop welfare, technological advancement and sustained mission readiness in defence of Kenya’s sovereignty, security and national development.

Understanding how it all works means seeing how teams across safety, production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, engineering, and other functions work together to keep the operation running efficiently, safely, and successfully. Recognizing the value of cultivating well-rounded future leaders, Covia launched the Structured Training & Experience Program (STEP) in early 2026. The program gives recent graduates an opportunity to gain firsthand experience. The 18-month program combines hands-on operations experience with cross-functional exposure throughout Covia to help develop the next generation of plant supervisors, engineers, technical specialists, and other professionals who can support the company’s future. According to Talent Acquisition Manager Adrianna Ateh, STEP is the natural expansion of Covia’s approach to early-career development. The company started by relaunching its internship program in 2023 to provide college students with meaningful work experience. As that program developed, Covia began looking at what could come next for employees beginning their careers after graduation.“The idea was to create a pathway to opportunities for people who are just graduating from college,” Ateh explained. “This way we can develop internal talent for open positions across Covia and give that talent the opportunity to learn what they like and where they excel.”Ateh and Coleman Rojahn, Talent Acquisition Associate, worked with hiring managers, company leaders, and people familiar with similar graduate programs to rethink what a program could look like at Covia. The result was STEP, with an initial cohort of three trainees: Gavin Antonini, Marston plant Nolan Joynt, Hephzibah plant Favour Ordim, Roff plant “This year we decided to start with three people when we launched the program and see what works, and what doesn’t work,” Ateh said. “Then we hope to be able to grow it each year and make it better, just like the internship program.” Learning Covia One Experience at a Time The objective behind STEP is straightforward: provide recent graduates with immersive, hands-on experience across the plant functions that keep Covia’s operations moving forward. To accomplish that, these graduates needed time to truly experience each aspect of a real mining organization.Over 18 months, trainees progress through a structured series of phases that expose them to both plant operations and the teams that support them. These phases include: Health, Safety, and Environmental Operations and Supply Chain Mine and Quality Control Maintenance, Parts, and Inventory Cross-Functional Capstone Project This structure gives each trainee an opportunity to spend meaningful time with a wide range of functions. Instead of asking someone at the beginning of their career to immediately choose a narrow path, STEP provides opportunities to understand how different functions operate and how they connect. Trainees work with different people and departments throughout the program, gaining technical experience while developing a broader understanding of Covia. The result is a program designed to be mutually beneficial for Covia and the trainees. Immersive, hands-on experience across core functions helps Covia develop talent across plant operations, while also exposing trainees to different roles so they gain firsthand knowledge of that helps them discover where they can excel and the types of work they enjoy. Building Relationships Along the Way STEP is designed to help trainees develop technical knowledge, but that’s just one goal for the program. Covia has also made relationship-building an intentional part of the experience.Bringing STEP participants together gives them peers who are navigating a similar experience, while their rotations allow them to develop relationships with employees across disciplines and locations.“We want them to enjoy the experience and feel that they really are a part of the community,” Ateh said. With trainees working at different locations and moving through numerous functions, it is important to build a sense of camaraderie despite the distance. The inaugural trainees recently attended a safety boot camp together and regularly participate in monthly meetings as a group to share their experience and identify other areas they may want to explore. Those connections are already extending beyond scheduled meetings. According to Ateh, the trainees actively connect with each other between meetings. For example, Gavin recently reached out to Favour to learn more about drone applications at the plant level. Favour, who recently earned her drone certification to support operations at the Roff Plant, was able to share her experiences and insights as she begins using the technology in her role. Despite the distance between plants, trainees can create bonds that last. Developing the Next Generation of Covia Talent For Covia, STEP is an investment in long-term talent development. For trainees, the program provides a broader view of Covia’s operations and where technical knowledge and leadership are paramount. Discovering those best fits takes time, which is why the program emphasizes experience rather than simply training for a particular position. The current cohort is scheduled to complete their program in June 2027, at which point they’ll each have gained experience that prepares them to be part of the next generation of Covia talent across operations. For Gavin, Nolan, and Favour, the next several months will continue to expose them to new teams, responsibilities, and experiences. Where those experiences ultimately lead will be different for each of them. And while the current group continues to learn, Covia is actively recruiting for the next cohort, continuing the cycle of professional development that will help shape Covia for years to come.

ESG: Responsible Trading Across Asian and European Markets Among the most distinctive of those commitments is the investment by Alkagesta in Clean Caspian, an environmental research start-up developing technologies to contain oil spills and separate oil from contaminated water in enclosed marine ecosystems. Alkagesta invested in the project in May 2026, recognising that as a trader of petroleum products, oil spill risk is one of the most material environmental exposures associated with its business. In September 2026, the Clean Caspian team completed Phase I of its research, identifying two formulations for oil spill response — a two-stage approach combining a surface-localising reagent with a flocculant-coagulant to enable more efficient oil-water separation. Phase II will optimise both formulations, test them under different environmental conditions, and progress patent applications. Across sustainable fuels, Alkagesta secured a five-year feedstock offtake agreement for Used Cooking Oil and a multi-year biofuel storage agreement at Pantank in Antwerp, bringing total storage capacity across Europe and Asia to 700,000 m³. Alkagesta holds ISCC EU and ISCC CORSIA certifications, underpinning the ability to trade and supply certified sustainable fuels across aviation and marine sectors. The ESG Framework governing these commitments is publicly available on the Alkagesta website. In 2026, the company also received the EcoVadis Committed Badge — an independently assessed recognition of sustainability performance across environmental, social, ethical, and procurement dimensions. For Alkagesta, ESG is not a reporting exercise — it is a framework for managing the real risks that come with trading energy commodities across approximately 48 countries, and for building the long-term institutional relationships on which sustainable growth depends. Those commitments are not separate from the commercial business — they are embedded in how it operates. Nowhere is that clearer than in Singapore, where Alkagesta has built a marine fuels hub from the ground up over the past year, combining rapid commercial growth with the risk management and compliance standards that define the company's approach across all markets. Singapore: A Market Position Built from the Ground Up Established under Alkagesta Asia Pte in July 2025, the Singapore hub reached monthly delivered volumes of approximately 250,000 metric tonnes — around 5% of Singapore's marine fuels market — within its first full year of operations. First-half 2026 revenue from the hub reached $1.01 billion, representing approximately 171% growth versus the full year 2025, with 1.65 million metric tonnes delivered — up 104% from 0.81 million metric tonnes across the full year 2025. The performance was built on a deliberate infrastructure-first approach: securing storage capacity at Horizon Terminal, developing a distribution business in the short market, and assembling a team of trading, operations, and finance professionals capable of operating through one of the most complex periods in recent marine fuels market history. The hub navigated significant prompt availability constraints, elevated freight rates, and Persian Gulf supply friction throughout the year — emerging with a stronger commercial position and a deeper network of counterparty relationships. These results form part of a record first half for Alkagesta globally. Group revenue reached $3.5 billion in the first half of 2026, with trading volumes rising 53% year on year to 4.9 million metric tonnes. Full-year 2026 group volumes are expected to exceed 10 million metric tonnes, building on a record 2025 financial year in which Alkagesta generated $4.7 billion in revenue. Orkhan Rustamov, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Alkagesta, commented: "These results reflect the progress we have made through a measured and disciplined approach to growth. Despite significant volatility across global commodities markets, our focus has remained on serving our clients reliably and building our business on strong, long-term relationships. We will continue to grow strategically, step by step, strengthening our presence in the markets where we operate and ensuring that our communication lines, capabilities and regional networks remain resilient."

Hosts get paid: Homeowners receive monthly hosting payments and lower-cost electricity, with household energy needs taking priority over computing workloads. Commercial hosts receive a share of site revenue and backup power. Timeline: Initial installations scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026; first commercial site targeted for the first quarter of 2027. “Access to power is a major constraint on the growth of AI infrastructure,” said Matt Shaw, CEO and Chairman of OpenWorld. “By bringing computing equipment to homes and commercial properties through solar generation and battery storage, we can build AI capacity closer to the power source instead of waiting years for a grid connection. Our term sheet with Meridian brings together the tokenization, financing and operating capabilities needed to develop this network at scale, and it shows what OpenWorld Enterprise is built to do: turn real-world assets into financeable, on-chain infrastructure.” “Residential battery storage is the foundation of this program,” said Josh Raffaelli, founder of Meridian and clean energy investor. “OpenWorld will help us finance the equipment, turning solar generation and battery storage at participating properties into infrastructure that can serve growing demand for AI computing.” Solving the Power Problem in AI Infrastructure Access to power is a growing constraint on AI infrastructure. New data centers face lengthy grid interconnection timelines, local opposition and significant water demands. The planned network of home-hosted, distributed AI inference computing would place compute nodes at participating homes and larger installations at local schools, hospitals and commercial campuses, each powered by on-site solar generation and battery storage. AI providers would pay to use this computing capacity for inference, the process of running trained AI models, without requiring new centralized data-center sites, additional grid connections or water-based cooling. Participating homeowners would receive monthly hosting payments and lower-cost electricity, with household energy needs taking priority over computing workloads. Commercial hosts would receive a share of site revenue and backup power. How the Program Works Meridian, a privately held Delaware limited liability company, holds purchase rights to residential Tesla Powerwall battery storage systems for the program. The program’s initial deployment is planned for 10,000 homes. Under the term sheet, OpenWorld will serve as advisor, structuring agent and services provider for the financing program. OpenWorld will establish and administer the tokenized financing structure on its OpenWorld Enterprise platform. The financing would support Meridian’s purchase of residential battery storage systems, as well as the purchase by OpenWorld or a subsidiary of solar panels and associated AI computing equipment, all of which will be used within the structure. OpenWorld is also developing an integrated system to support each installation. The OpenWorld Enterprise platform will monitor equipment performance and provide investors with reporting on the underlying assets. The program is intended to supply computing capacity to one or more leading AI inference providers. Test installations are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the first commercial site targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

(TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce the engagement of Construction & Expertise PG ("PG") to advance geotechnical investigations and detailed engineering for the proposed all-season access road to its flagship Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") in Quebec. The engagement marks an important step toward construction readiness and forms part of a broader infrastructure initiative supported by up to C$1,932,750 in combined non-dilutive federal and provincial funding. This includes newly approved non-repayable financial assistance of up to C$554,050 from the Societe du Plan Nord ("SPN"), representing 50% of eligible access road planning and development costs under its Northern Infrastructure Fund in Support of the Mining Sector (Enveloppe nordique d'infrastructures en appui au secteur minier), and previously announced support of up to C$1,378,700 from Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") through its First and Last Mile Fund ("FLMF"). The provincial contribution is dedicated exclusively to the access road, while the federal funding supports pre-construction planning for both the road and the electrical infrastructure required to connect Lac Knife to Hydro-Quebec's power network. Together, these complementary investments are helping advance the transportation and energy infrastructure necessary for Lac Knife's development while allowing the Company to preserve capital for its broader project development and advanced materials strategy. Advancing Lac Knife's Access Road Toward Construction Readiness The proposed all-weather gravel access road will connect the Lac Knife Project site to Highway 389, providing reliable year-round access to support future mine construction, personnel transportation, equipment mobilization and the eventual transportation of graphite concentrate. PG's mandate encompasses geotechnical and geophysical investigations, subsurface characterization, evaluation of construction materials and engineering activities required to advance a construction-ready access road design. Key deliverables will include preliminary and final engineering drawings, technical specifications, a bill of quantities, detailed cost estimates, a construction schedule and tender documents to support future construction planning and procurement. The program includes: Approximately eleven (11) kilometres of geophysical investigations using seismic refraction and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW), including associated data processing, interpretation and technical reporting. Approximately sixty (60) geotechnical test pits along the proposed road corridor to characterize subsurface conditions, assess soil and foundation properties, and inform road design requirements. Reconnaissance and sampling of potential borrow material sources, supported by laboratory testing of foundation soils and construction materials to evaluate their suitability for road construction. Targeted geotechnical drilling at critical locations along the proposed road corridor, where warranted by field investigation results and subject to additional authorization. High-resolution drone-based topographic surveys of the proposed road corridor and any revised alignments, to support final engineering design and future construction planning. Development of geotechnical profiles, pavement design recommendations and associated technical reporting to support detailed road and drainage engineering. The field investigation program has advanced substantially, generating critical technical data to refine engineering designs, optimize construction requirements and support the next phase of project development. "Infrastructure is what transforms a mineral resource into a strategic asset," said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "With PG advancing the technical work required for our access road, we are translating project planning into tangible steps towards construction readiness. The support of the Governments of Québec and Canada allows us to advance this essential infrastructure while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation and project development." The coordinated advancement of road access and grid connection planning is intended to strengthen Lac Knife's development readiness, reduce infrastructure-related uncertainty and establish the technical foundation for future construction. "Support from two levels of government for complementary infrastructure initiatives underscores the strategic importance of advancing Lac Knife," said Jason Latkowcer, Vice President, Corporate Development of Focus Graphite. "We are systematically removing barriers to development, reducing risk and strengthening Lac Knife's investment case, while leveraging non-dilutive funding to minimize shareholder dilution." Responsible Infrastructure Development The Lac Knife Project is located on the Nitassinan, the ancestral lands of the Innu Takuaikan Uashat mak Mani-utenam ("ITUM"). Focus has maintained a collaborative relationship with ITUM since entering into a Pre-Development Agreement in 2014 and continues to advance project planning in collaboration with the community. The Company's infrastructure strategy prioritizes the use of existing transportation corridors wherever practical, with the objective of minimizing new environmental disturbance while supporting responsible project development. The proposed access road and electrical connection are fundamental components of Lac Knife's long-term development strategy. Together, they are intended to establish reliable year-round access and support the transition toward grid-connected mining and processing operations. Lac Knife hosts one of North America's highest-grade natural graphite deposits and serves as the upstream foundation of Focus Graphite's strategy to establish an integrated advanced graphite materials platform serving battery, defence, nuclear energy and advanced manufacturing supply chains.

To ensure regional meals bring local credibility and authentic inspiration, Delta also partnered with renowned Chefs Norio Ueno and Jereme Leung. Meticulous in their craft, each chef will continue to consult with the program to ensure Delta delivers consistent and recognizable meals customers from every region will enjoy.  From specialty cheeses and elevated dessert ingredients to thoughtfully sourced proteins and produce, every nuanced detail and offering was selected to enhance flavor, texture and consistency. Highlights include: Delta One® Wagyu beef burger with caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and cornichons on a lightly toasted brioche bun — cooked and plated to ensure this highest-quality beef product consistently delights Roasted Sea Bass with tomato tarragon sauce, grilled asparagus and parsley mashed potatoes Regional twist: Grilled Salmon with ginger soy sauce, asparagus, eggplant and mushrooms flying [US – HND Delta One Feb. 2027]  Braised lamb entrée with red wine demi-glace, lyonnaise potatoes, grilled asparagus and wilted spinach  Beef short rib with red wine demi-glace, haricot vert, baby carrots, roasted shallot and potato gratin  Rich and creamy seasonally rotating risotto maintains texture at altitude and features wild mushrooms, parmesan cheese, roasted zucchini obliques and cherry tomatoes Macaroni and cheddar cheese topped with garlic breadcrumbs  A chicken Caesar salad entrée featuring crisp romaine, parsley, parmesan and Caesar dressing  Chicken salad croissant, hummus and crudité — each a new addition, offered as mid- flight meal Delta One iconic dessert cart preserves a beloved tradition and now features upgraded options and a generous amount of choice: The Classic sundae topped with a new signature chocolate sauce, Amarena premium preserved cherries and pecan praline crumble — garnished with a soft and airy doughnut A new dairy-free sorbet paired with (optional) Champagne Taittinger float adds a light, elegant and refreshing after-dinner option Napa Valley inspired fruit and cheese plate brings together flavors from Northern California and features Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt. Tam and Hop Along cheese, Cypress Grove’s Humbolt Fog cheese and Rustic Bakery’s Artisan Crisps Heritage-inspired tableware  A new collection of Delta One tableware — featuring the iconic Delta widget — balances elegance with operational precision. Developed through extensive research, prototyping and onboard testing, every piece was designed to elevate hospitality, enable personalized tableside service and create a refined backdrop for the culinary experience. Scale, shape, material, color and how pieces layer together all contribute to the overall impression — each subtle detail built to significantly enhance the meal. New Delta One serviceware Designed around you: More choice to travel your way  The refreshed Delta One experience gives customers greater control over how they dine and rest while traveling. Expanded pre-select options include lighter selections, such as protein-added salads, while customers on long-haul flights who prefer to maximize sleep can opt to skip the morning meal service and instead enjoy a coffee and croissant before landing.  Delta also gives customers more flexibility to plan, extending pre-select entrée ordering to 18 hours before departure — six hours closer to departure than before, making Delta the only U.S. carrier to offer a pre-order window this close to flight time.  “Luxury is about having the experience designed around you — today’s premium traveler values choice as much as quality,” said Kristen Manion Taylor, SVP – Brand Experience. “These enhancements offer greater flexibility, ensuring every Delta One customer can enjoy the journey in the way that suits them best.” Intentional touches In addition to the meal, a new ‘sip and settle’ moment — hot towel, warm nuts and a preferred beverage — is intentionally placed on the console, allowing customers to go about their pre-dining ritual(s) without interruption. Furthermore, a fresh cracked pepper service delivered during the first course and saucières holding side sauces to complement main proteins have been added to create greater flexibility without sacrificing the experience.  New, iconic beverage partners and refreshed amenities  Blanton’s — an iconic Kentucky Bourbon — on board Dec. 1  As the first and only airline to welcome Blanton’s, one of bourbon’s most coveted labels, Delta One is proud to serve this exceptional single-barrel bourbon, whose limited production and global demand have made it a prized favorite among both collectors and connoisseurs.  From the iconic horse-and-jockey stopper to its tradition of inspecting, filling, sealing and labeling every bottle by hand, Blanton's and Delta are deeply committed to preserving and celebrating heritage. Bottled at 93 proof, the single-barrel bourbon features powerful dry vanilla notes in harmony with hints of honey amid strong caramel and corn.  Napa icons, global classics take flight Delta is moving from four wine rotations each year to two, ensuring greater consistency for both customers and flight attendants. In partnership with Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson and loyal SkyMiles Members, 1,600 wines were curated into a final selection of 13 wines from 11 wineries featured on board between October 2026 and September 2027.  The new Delta One wine program was selected to complement the reimagined culinary experience and features iconic Napa wines, such as Silver Oak, retailing at over $200 per bottle. This, in addition to expanding the Champagne Taittinger partnership — now offered when flying in domestic Delta One — rounds out our most premium wine investment to date. Classic mocktails and cocktails  A curated cocktail and mocktail program — designed to meet growing demand for non-alcoholic beverages — features both alcoholic and non-alcoholic interpretations of two refreshing classics, the Hugo Spritz and the Paloma.  Building on the strong popularity of mocktails served in the Delta One Lounge, these thoughtfully crafted beverages bring that same elevated experience onboard and provide options for every customer. The beverages will be available on international routes in March 2027 and domestic routes in April 2027.  DASSAI Dassai, the renowned premium sake brewer from the mountains of Iwakuni, Japan, is joining Delta One starting Nov. 3 on all flights to and from Tokyo-Haneda. Brewed with Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 45 percent of its original size, Dassai 45 is known for its elegant, fruit-forward aroma and the gentle sweetness of the rice itself. It's a refined, distinctly Japanese sake that pairs beautifully with Chef Norio Ueno's regional dishes, adding an elevated touch to the experience when flying Delta One to Japan. Introducing new Missoni amenity kits: Winter Elsewhere collection Launching Nov. 3, Delta’s newest Delta One Missoni amenity kit brings the Winter Elsewhere collection to the skies with a nature-inspired design and a first-of-its-kind wrist strap created for use long after landing. Inside, customers will find a curated assortment of premium essentials, including exclusive Grown Alchemist skincare, a Marvis dental kit and Missoni-branded comfort items, thoughtfully selected to enhance hydration, relaxation and well-being throughout the journey. As sleep remains a defining priority for Delta One customers, Delta continues to raise the bar on onboard rest. Delta will also introduce a Missoni Mini pillow to replace the current cuddle pillow, which will expand to all transoceanic Delta One routes. Complementing the mattress pad, slippers and eye mask, the new pillow will deliver an even more restorative sleep experience in the sky. Next era Delta One amenities Delta x Bombas returns  This limited-edition onboard partnership combines Bombas' fan-favorite comfort innovations with Delta-inspired design details made for the journey. With plush cushioning, honeycomb arch support and stamped with the signature ‘Fly Delta Jets’ call, these socks were built to keep travelers comfortable from gate to destination. Customers flying on select routes may receive a complimentary pair, making this one of the most exclusive drops of the season. Hospitality: The defining ingredient While the menus, ingredients, partnerships and tableware are new, the experience is still grounded in what has always set Delta apart: its people. “Hospitality has always been Delta's greatest differentiator, and it starts with our people,” said Manion Taylor. “From the earliest concepts and through testing and implementation, our flight attendants and teams helped shape this experience with their expertise and insights, ensuring every detail works for our customers while reflecting the hospitality that sets Delta apart.” More than 200 Delta flight attendants and team members helped shape the experience over 14+ months, contributing 200+ unique submissions of feedback across four phases of testing and 36 dedicated trial flights. Their insights influenced everything from redesigned service elements, including tea service and sauce presentation, to the development of more than 60 new pieces of tableware. The result is a Delta One experience thoughtfully crafted for customers, by the people who bring it to life every day. Scaling Delta's premium strategy The next era of Delta One dining is the latest chapter in Delta's premium transformation. Across connectivity — with nearly 1,300 aircraft currently equipped with Delta Sync Wi-Fi, representing more than 95 percent of the fleet — a frictionless ground experience, lounges, personalized digital experiences, next-generation seatback screens, onboard products, partners and the most restful experience in the sky, Delta continues to set the standard for a more connected, seamless and elevated journey across its expansive global network. “No airline has invested more intentionally in redefining premium travel,” said Goswami. “From connectivity and personalized entertainment to dedicated security, Porsche tarmac transfers, next-generation aircraft and Delta One dining, every investment is part of a deliberate strategy to deliver the industry’s most consistent and elevated customer experience.” Together, these investments reflect Delta's unwavering commitment to continue leading the industry forward, raising the standard for premium travel. *Porsche service available to Delta One customers when booking VIP Select. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Melamine foam manufacturer FoamTech adds EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0 fire rating as European interior specifications tighten 2026-10-14 · Pressat · Finance, Real estate, Automotive, Media, Travel, Industrial, Aerospace & defense, Sustainability https://pressat.co.uk/releases/melamine-foam-manufacturer-foamtech-adds-en-13501-1-class-b-s1-d0-fire-rating-as-european-interior-specifications-tighten-c23753ffc87965ed3657636aef694d05/ Wednesday 14 October, 2026 The Yiwu-based manufacturer also holds IATF 16949 and AS9100D, delivers rail interior material against EN 45545 project specifications, and has had its melamine foam carbon footprint verified to ISO 14067:2018 by TÜV SÜD. YIWU, Zhejiang, China — 14 October 2026 — FoamTech (Zhejiang) New Materials Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of melamine foam for thermal insulation, acoustic treatment and fire-rated interiors, today confirmed that its melamine foam carries the European construction fire classification EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0. EN 13501-1 is the reaction-to-fire classification standard applied to construction products across the European Union and the UK. The designation has three parts: B indicates a limited contribution to fire spread; s1 is the lowest smoke-production bracket; and d0 indicates no flaming droplets. The final element is frequently the one that narrows the field in enclosed interior applications, where a falling, burning droplet can spread fire below the point of ignition. The same class is expressed in the Chinese system, where the material is separately graded as GB 8624 B1 (B-s1, d0) for domestic projects. Melamine foam derives its fire performance from the nitrogen content of the melamine resin itself rather than from halogenated flame-retardant additives. That is a property of the material, not a coating, and it survives cutting and converting. “Our customers in Europe rarely ask for a single data-sheet number,” said Kiko Fan, Overseas Manager at FoamTech. “They ask which classification a product holds, who tested it, and whether the same result applies to the thickness and density they are actually specifying. So we publish the classification and the test method together, and we keep the underlying reports available to specifiers.” Three qualification streams on one set of lines Melamine foam for building interiors is only one of the release regimes FoamTech works under. The company holds IATF 16949, the quality management standard for automotive suppliers, and AS9100D, its aerospace counterpart, for its melamine foam production, alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. In practice this means incoming-material control, batch traceability and release testing on the lines that produce standard insulation grades are governed by automotive and aerospace control plans. Material supplied for HVAC ductwork, chilled-water and process piping, or acoustic treatment inherits that release discipline. Rail interiors: supplied to project requirements Rail interior work follows a different route. Rather than claiming a blanket approval, FoamTech supplies against individual project specifications that call for compliance with EN 45545, the European fire-safety standard for railway vehicles. That includes interior applications on rolling stock built by CRRC, the Chinese rolling-stock manufacturer, where the hazard level is set by the vehicle programme rather than by the foam supplier. Material is tested and documented to the hazard level named in the customer's specification, and the supporting test evidence travels with the delivery documentation. Test documentation held Independent test evidence held by the company includes: UL 94 V-0 rated formulations; Carbon footprint verified Separately from fire performance, the carbon footprint of the company's melamine foam has been verified to ISO 14067:2018 by TÜV SÜD, the German testing and certification group. The verification covers data from October 2024 to September 2025 and was carried out to a reasonable-assurance level, with an unqualified statement of conformity. The verified figure is 86.18 kg CO2e per 2560 × 1300 × 430 mm block, from cradle to gate — that is, raw material and manufacturing stages. Standards work FoamTech is listed among the drafting units of Chinese national and industry standards for plastics and thermal insulation, including QB/T 8216-2026 (cleaning melamine foam), and participates in current revision work on test methods for foam combustion behaviour and water-vapour transmission in building materials. About FoamTech FoamTech (Zhejiang) New Materials Co., Ltd. is a melamine foam manufacturer registered in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, China (legal entity registered 2020-12-29; group operations since 2014). The company produces melamine foam blocks, sheets, acoustic panels, thermal insulation, hydrophobic grades and cleaning sponges, and supplies converted and die-cut parts. It holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, IATF 16949 and AS9100D, has completed a BSCI social-compliance audit, operates a FAMA Authorized Facility in Yiwu, and has an annual melamine foam production capacity of 300,000 m³.

Dvorak, published Sunday, October 11, 2026, brings listeners another sweeping Sunday media deconstruction from the heart of the Texas Hill Country. With Dvorak sidelined, Curry is joined by returning guest co-host Sir Rob Dew of Infowars for a nearly three-hour tour through what the hosts dub the Trump administration's cascade of pre-midterm 'surpriselets,' little October surprises stacked like stocking stuffers heading into the 2026 vote. The episode zeroes in on the news cycle's most provocative threads. Among the topics unpacked: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will face a public, potentially live-streamed firing squad on December 3rd The bizarre FlyDubai axe attack by pilot Hammam al-Hammami and ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson's theory tying it to Benjamin Netanyahu Trump's surprise diesel deal with Vladimir Putin and the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize going to Navi Pillay A suspected plague death at Russia's Anti-Plague Research Institute in Irkutsk Walmart's electronic shelf labels and dynamic pricing Curry and Dew press hard on the Hegseth announcement, noting Jake Tapper's point that the United States would join Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Somalia, and Yemen as the only nations conducting public executions. Dew offers a blunt reaction: 'I'm all for the execution. I don't know, the public execution, streaming it, you know, I'm kind of waffling. I definitely don't mind. I think it should have been done a long time ago.' They also replay Vice President JD Vance dodging a question about how the Pentagon plan squares with his Christian faith, and revisit the 1936 Owensboro, Kentucky hanging, America's last fully public execution. The deconstruction then widens to Marco Rubio's sweeping speech in Athens defending Western civilization and sanctioning the International Criminal Court, Barack Obama's new midterm hope-and-change pitch for Democrats, and Mike Tyson's surprise endorsement of Trump at a Syracuse rally. Curry flags Bret Weinstein's warning on DarkHorse that any plague outbreak traceable to the Irkutsk facility could involve gain-of-function engineering or a psyop exploiting IgG4 immune suppression in mRNA-vaccinated populations. The pair also eulogize Chicago Bears legend Mike Ditka, dissect Kimberly Guilfoyle's ethics troubles as ambassador to Greece, and salute Slovak MEP Milan Mazurek's fiery European Parliament speech on mass deportations.

HKTDC Associate Executive Director Silas Chu said: "Last month, the Hong Kong SAR Government unveiled the Policy Address and first Five-Year Plan, setting out a vision for building a green and liveable city. Across the region and beyond, China, the European Union and many ASEAN economies are actively pursuing carbon-neutrality or net-zero emission targets, and driving decarbonisation through regulations and industrial policies. Green transformation has shifted from policy aspiration to market rule. As global demand for ESG and green solutions continues to grow, Eco Expo Asia will bring together green technologies, innovative solutions, and global business opportunities to help enterprises capitalise on the new prospects emerging from this transition." HKTDC Associate Executive Director Silas Chu says that Hong Kong's first Five-Year Plan and the latest Policy Address have set out a number of policy directions on environmental protection, underscoring the importance of building a green and liveable city and developing the green energy industry. He adds that this year's Eco Expo Asia will echo current global trends and policy directions, showcasing the latest environmental products and technologies across four thematic areas. He added, "This year's Eco Expo Asia brings together over 340 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions, including first-time participants from Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, highlighting the Expo’s growing international reach. Some 200 key officials and representatives of semi-official organisations from the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Belt and Road countries, and ASEAN, will attend and tour the Expo, further promoting cross-regional cooperation and exchange." Speaking at the press conference, the Deputy Director of the Environmental Protection Department of the HKSAR Government, Dr Vanessa Au, expressed: "The 21st edition of Eco Expo Asia, held under the theme 'Connecting the World for a Sustainable Future', dovetails with the HKSAR Government's First Five-Year Plan, and implements the Policy Address precisely aligning with the National 15th Five-Year Plan. It underscores our commitment to advancing Hong Kong's green transformation, fostering green innovation, seizing the opportunities presented by the low-carbon economy, creating economic benefits and enhancing citizen well-being. Key highlights of this year's expo include the HKSAR Government booth, the Environmental Campaign Committee Pavilion, the Hong Kong Pavilion and the newly established comprehensive experience zone for green technology. This year during the expo, the Environment and Ecology Bureau and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China will, for the first time, co-host the Belt and Road Green Innovation Conference in Hong Kong. In addition, the Environmental Protection Department, in association with the Belt and Road Initiative International Green Development Coalition and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will jointly organise the second edition of the 'Green Silk Road' International Training Programme. This expo brings together stakeholders from all sectors, uniting our efforts to advance global carbon neutrality and sustainable development." Silas Chu, HKTDC Associate Executive Director (centre); Dr Vanessa Au, Deputy Director of Environmental Protection (left); and Jack Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd (right), attend today's press conference. Businesses show continued strong confidence in Hong Kong as an ESG business hub The HKTDC has also released the "HKTDC ESG Index 2026". The latest ESG Index stood at 67.3, up from 64.2 last year and well above the neutral threshold of 50, reflecting the continued strengthening of corporate confidence in Hong Kong's role as an ESG hub. The survey also showed that 93% of respondents have integrated ESG into their overall business decision-making processes, while the share of businesses sourcing or selling ESG-related products and services rose from 29% in 2025 to 46% in 2026. Silas said, "The rise in the ESG index reflects the continued strengthening of global businesses' confidence in Hong Kong's role as an ESG business hub. Results further demonstrate that ESG is increasingly being built into business decisions on investment, sourcing, and supply chain management, fuelling steady growth in demand for ESG products, services and solutions. ESG has evolved beyond a compliance requirement into a source of competitive advantage for companies." With strong demand for ESG solutions, Hong Kong is well-positioned to unlock commercial opportunities across banking and finance, professional services, and innovation and technology. In terms of technological innovation, surveyed businesses identified the most impactful Hong Kong digital and ESG platforms for boosting performance as sustainable supply chain platforms (45%), AI analytics (37%), and cloud data reporting (30%). On supply chain management, respondents most valued Hong Kong’s ESG certification services (50%), followed by transparency and traceability tools (41%), and ESG audit and risk analysis solutions (36%).

The multi-hour media deconstruction surveys an unusually dense news cycle: the mysterious FlyDubai Boeing 737 MAX 8 incident, the accelerating displacement of commercial software by AI agents, a pneumonic plague death in Russia's Irkutsk region, a measles resurgence in Pennsylvania, violent school protests across France, and the Cornell fraternity allegations drawing commentary from AOC, Sonny Hostin, and Letitia James. Curry and Dew work through a stacked clip deck that spans multiple ongoing storylines. Threads examined in depth include: The FlyDubai near-disaster, with pilot simulator analysis from Erin Burnett's CNN segment and skepticism over the 20,000-foot dive narrative The "death of software" thesis, including a reverse-engineered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 running Halo assets NPR's measles coverage featuring immunologist Michael Mina and the concept of "immune amnesia" GB News and France 24 reporting on burning schools, barricades, and "outsiders" in Paris suburbs Meta's new Muse AI agent, Mark Zuckerberg's Charm device, and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on Silicon Valley's disconnection from the public The hosts' media-deconstruction style surfaces throughout. Reacting to a Gen Z TikToker warning about AI-driven reverse engineering of banks, satellites, and encrypted systems, Curry seizes the kicker: "I'm afraid we've opened Pandora's box, but humanity hasn't even recognized it yet because we've been too excited holding it. And now it's become the mark of the beast, the birthing pains of the rapture, the second coming of the nuclear bomb. But instead of fission, it's just text." Dew counters the AI doom with his own experiment building a donation-spreadsheet tool that replaced Microsoft Excel in his workflow. Curry details his new podcastindexrobot.com MCP server, built on the open Podcast Index he co-owns with Dave Jones, demonstrating how an agent can strip six minutes of dynamically inserted ads from Ed Zitron's Better Offline. The segment pivots to a 1999 David Bowie interview with Jeremy Paxman on the BBC predicting the internet as "an alien life form." Elsewhere, the hosts revisit US Air Flight 427's 1994 rudder hardover, cite Camille Paglia on coeducation, and replay a 1994 Today Show clip of Katie Couric asking "What is internet, anyway?" alongside Gina Raimondo warning of "rioting in the streets" from AI job displacement. About No Agenda Show No Agenda is a long-running, listener-supported podcast hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak that takes a skeptical, independent look at mainstream media, politics, culture, and the forces shaping the daily news cycle. Known for sharp commentary, humor, and value-for-value funding, the show deconstructs how stories are framed, repeated, or ignored across news outlets, government messaging, and tech platforms.

This year, consumers can enjoy educational events, community stories, and a 20% storewide sale at ShopC60.com. National C60 Day, also known as National Carbon 60 Day, C60 Day or Carbon 60 Day, recognizes the discovery of C60, also called buckminsterfullerene or a "buckyball." C60 is a hollow, spherical molecule made of exactly 60 carbon atoms arranged in 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, the same pattern found on a classic soccer ball. A Discovery Written in the Stars In 1985, British chemist Harold Kroto joined Rice University scientists Robert Curl and Richard Smalley to recreate the chemistry of carbon rich stars in the laboratory, and their experiments revealed C60. Kroto, a longtime admirer of architect R. Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes helped give the molecule its name in honor of Buckminster. In 1990, Wolfgang Krätschmer and Donald Huffman developed a method to produce C60 in quantities large enough to study, and the journal Science named buckminsterfullerene its Molecule of the Year for 1991. Curl, Kroto, and Smalley were awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery. In 2010, astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope detected C60 in Tc 1, a cloud of gas and dust shed by a dying star, the first confirmed sighting of buckyballs in space. "National C60 Day gives us an opportunity to honor the science that introduced this extraordinary molecule to the world. This holiday may help consumers understand the importance of purity, and 3rd-party testing, along with the opportunity to learn more about the potential of the molecule," said Jessica MacNaughton, CEO and cofounder of C60 Power. "Our goal is to make reliable C60 education more accessible and give people the information they need to make informed choices for themselves and their animals." What Researchers Are Studying Since its discovery, C60 research has expanded into chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, energy, skincare and wellness. Its ability to interact with free radicals is one reason C60 continues to attract attention in antioxidant research. Interest in C60 and healthy aging grew after a 2012 study reported that rats given C60 dissolved in olive oil lived longer than untreated rats.

The transition to a four-times-daily scheduled flight follows the recent expansion from two to three flights daily, reflecting steady passenger demand and the airlines' operational capacity to support increased traffic on the route. With this enhanced frequency, TransNusa now offers seamless travel times tailored perfectly to the schedules of both business and leisure travelers. The fourth flight takes off from Jakarta today at 17.40 and arrives Singapore at 20:20. It departs Singapore at 21:20 and arrives Jakarta at 21:55. Leadership Driven Growth and Changi Recognition "Scaling our presence to four daily flights on the Jakarta-Singapore corridor reflects the growing trust in the TransNusa brand," said Datuk Bernard Francis, TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, securing successive frequency approvals from a world-class gateway like Changi Airport demonstrates our operational reliability and alignment with high aviation standards,” He added. “Having introduced our third daily frequency in April 2026 and moving quickly to launch a fourth daily scheduled flight, emphasizes our commercial agility,” highlighted Datuk Bernard, adding that the high-frequency schedule allows TransNusa to directly serve both corporate and leisure guests with premium flexibility at accessible price points.” Datuk Bernard Francis... Continuously leading TransNusa to greater heights Securing multiple frequency increases within a short timeframe of less than 6 months from a world-class hub like Singapore Changi Airport, which maintains strict operational benchmarks and partners with top-tier airlines, demonstrates the carrier's growth trajectory and scalable capabilities. The frequency increase not only builds directly upon the airline's transition from two to three flights daily but also upon the airline's recognition at the Changi Airline Awards 2026, where Datuk Bernard led TransNusa to became the first Indonesian carrier to win the "Top Airlines by Absolute Passenger Growth (Southeast Asia)" award from the World-Renown Changi Airport Group, just 17 months after starting operations at the airport. Comprehensive Daily Flight Schedule Operating the route with its modern Airbus A320 fleet, TransNusa’s schedule provides morning, afternoon, and evening options. Flights depart from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and land at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4. Bookings for the new daily flight times are now available.

The pair, who have known each other for roughly 15 years and share a long history with the late John C. Dvorak, deliver a three-hour media deconstruction built around tariffs, jobs numbers, artificial intelligence hype, and a hijacking mystery over Saudi airspace. It is one of the most finance-forward No Agenda episodes in recent memory. Horowitz brings a markets lens to the show's trademark narrative dissection. Among the threads unpacked: The $15 billion Mesabi Metallics / SR steel plant deal in Iowa, 'Patriot Pellets,' and the Section 232 tariffs that enabled it. Kevin Hassett's shifting commentary on BLS jobs reports, PCE methodology changes, and ShadowStats founder John Williams. Scott Bessent's bond-buying 'blunder,' private credit refinancing walls, and commercial real estate losses. Trump's rebrand of AI as 'SI' (super intelligence) and Anthropic's reported $2 trillion IPO prospectus. The FlyDubai cockpit stabbing incident and Netanyahu's pre-election messaging. Horowitz's investing philosophy gets its own set piece when he recounts a horseback ride in Costa Rica with his wife Jill. 'The horse doesn't want to fall off the mountain just as badly as you don't want to fall off the mountain. Hang on to the horse. It's the same thing with these markets.' Curry, for his part, hammers the shifting official story on FlyDubai Flight to Tel Aviv, noting conflicting ABC, BBC and Netanyahu accounts of whether the plane dropped from 34,000 to 16,000 feet in two or three minutes, whether a knife or crash axe was used, and the now-famous Israeli plumber who allegedly leveled the aircraft.   The episode's depth comes from its specificity. Horowitz dissects Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's Oval Office pitch alongside Iowa TV6 reporting that no permits have been filed and no major Lee County land has been purchased for the plant. He contrasts Cleveland-Cliffs' North American pellet dominance with Brazil's Vale, flags the Indian ownership of SR Technologies, and connects the timing to the midterms. On AI, Curry champions Meta's Muse assistant, predicts the collapse of traditional podcast apps, and recounts building a prototype 'while watching West Wing.' AOC, Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, Sam Altman's 'Dots' launch, Pope Leo's Chicago-accented AI remarks, and Pete Hegseth's Pentagon purge all get run through the deconstruction machine. About No Agenda Show No Agenda is the long-running, listener-supported value-for-value podcast hosted by Adam Curry and the late John C. Dvorak, known for its skeptical, humor-laced media deconstruction of politics, culture, technology, and the forces shaping the daily news cycle.

(GA-ASI) has completed a successful flight test using its MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) featuring a new communications payload developed by SoftBank Corp., a major Japanese telecommunications and technology operator. The Disaster Relief Unit (DRU) communications pod can be used for disaster relief and recovery communications in areas where cellular service is not available. The pod was integrated onto an MQ-9B and flown by GA-ASI on July 27. DRU lets an MQ-9B serve as a mobile network relay tower in the sky. The aircraft can establish connectivity and communications in an area where cellular towers have been damaged - as, for example, by a flood or another natural disaster. "This is an exciting achievement for GA-ASI and SoftBank," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "It's been a great experience working with SoftBank, and we believe this capability will be of interest to many of our MQ-9B operators for disaster relief and emergency communications applications." MQ-9Bs are multi-mission uncrewed aircraft that can operate in all weather conditions. MQ-9Bs are being flown by operators in the United Kingdom and Belgium, as well as the Japan Coast Guard.

Riding this industry tailwind, Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic Co., Ltd. (“Kinwong” or the “Company”, 3228.HK), a leading global PCB manufacturer, officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 29, 2026, completing its “A+H” dual listing platform. The prospectus lays out a clear “1+1+N” business structure: telecommunications and data infrastructure (including AI compute) as the new growth driver, complemented by high-potential segments including smart devices and industrial control, with industry-leading automotive electronics as the stable base, forging a path of sustainable, high-quality growth. Seizing the AI Compute Boom: AI Core Business Begins to Deliver As one of the few manufacturers supplying PCB to global leading AI computing infrastructure companies, Kinwong is leveraging its first-mover advantage to translate infrastructure tailwinds into strong financial results. According to the prospectus, in the first four months of 2026, revenue from AI-related PCBs reached RMB268 million — a four-month value already about 35.1% above the full-year 2025 total, lifting its share of total revenue to 5.0%. Driven by AI compute demand, revenue from the telecommunications and data infrastructure segment surged from RMB772 million in 2023 to RMB1.591 billion in 2025, doubling in two years. In the first four months of 2026, this segment accounted for 15.6% of total revenue, becoming the key engine of overall growth. Years of investment in high-end process technology are now paying off. As early as 2019, Kinwong proactively built production bases for high-layer-count (HLC) PCBs and high-end HDI PCBs. Today, the Company has achieved mass production of AI compute-related products, including HLC PCBs with over 40 layers, 6-build-up 22-layer HDI PCBs, 14-layer HDI PCBs using the mSAP process, and multilayer PTFE flexible PCBs. The Company has established manufacturing capability for HLC PCBs above 70 layers and 9-build-up 28-layer HDI PCBs. In addition, customer certification has commenced for 11-build-up HDI PCBs. Notably, the 9-build-up 28-layer HDI PCB completed customer qualification in only 90 days, demonstrating both product reliability and fast ramp-up speed. Expanding into Edge AI: Full-Spectrum Hardware Plays Beyond cloud computing and its established automotive business, Kinwong is capitalizing on the edge AI trend, extending the “N” in its “1+1+N” strategy to mid- and high-end hardware across humanoid robots, drones and industrial automation, positioning early to capture the device upgrade cycle. The Company has a strong consumer electronics customer base, serving seven of the world’s top ten smartphone brands. As edge AI drives higher hardware specifications, demand for value-added products such as HDI and rigid-flex PCBs is rising, opening up sustainable growth avenues. Driven by synergies across all segments, Kinwong’s overall performance has grown steadily. Per the prospectus, revenue reached RMB10.757 billion, RMB12.659 billion and RMB15.308 billion in 2023, 2024 and 2025, while profit for the year came in at RMB911 million, RMB1.160 billion and RMB1.244 billion respectively — three consecutive years of steady growth on both top and bottom lines. In the first four months of 2026, revenue hit RMB5.341 billion, showing continued scale expansion and strong through-cycle resilience. Automotive Electronics Anchors the Stable Cash Base: Funding AI Compute Expansion Developing and scaling high-end AI compute PCBs requires substantial and sustained capital expenditure and R&D spending. Kinwong’s solid position in global automotive electronics PCB gives it resilience and steady cash flow, providing a stable financial base for expanding into the high-barrier AI compute market. According to CIC, based on 2025 revenue, Kinwong was the world’s largest automotive electronics PCB supplier with 10.6% market share, and ranked 11th among overall PCB manufacturers globally with 2.5% share. Eight of the world’s top ten Tier 1 automotive suppliers are core Kinwong customers, and its PCBs are used across products from all top ten global automakers, reflecting strong customer moats and high business visibility. The Company’s operations provide a stable cash-generative base that, together with the IPO proceeds and debt financing, supports high-end capacity build-out, including the Zhuhai Jinwan base, creating a reinforcing cycle: mature businesses generate cash, emerging businesses drive growth. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Nel ASA: Receives purchase order from Collins Aerospace for US Navy stacks 2026-09-29 · PR Newswire · Aerospace & defense https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nel-asa-receives-purchase-order-from-collins-aerospace-for-us-navy-stacks-302892471.html OSLO, Norway, Sept. 29, 2026 -- Nel Hydrogen US, a subsidiary of Nel ASA (Nel) (OSE: NEL) has received a new purchase order from Collins Aerospace for PEM electrolyser stacks.

Listed in the Personal / Luggage: Carryon Suitcase category, the SE3SX reflects a design strategy that moves beyond conventional suitcase architecture to explore how luggage can become an active part of the travel experience. The official EPDA project description highlights the SE3SX’s integrated construction, which combines power, control, and storage systems within an aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy structure. The design also incorporates a low center of gravity, app-based remote control, and intuitive rotatable handles, connecting structural design with short-distance mobility. This recognition adds to Airwheel’s international design profile and its continued development of intelligent mobility products. Rather than treating a suitcase as a passive container, Airwheel approaches smart luggage as a combination of transportation interface, compact storage system, and connected consumer technology. The SE3SX represents this approach through a compact rideable platform designed for movement across airports, railway stations, exhibition venues, and other travel environments. From Conventional Luggage to Intelligent Mobility Traditional suitcases are designed primarily to store and transport belongings. Airwheel’s smart rideable suitcase concept extends that function by incorporating an electric drive system, rider controls, and an intelligent handle into the luggage platform. The underlying design challenge is not simply to add a motor to a suitcase. It is to coordinate propulsion, balance, structural layout, user controls, and everyday luggage functionality within a compact product. For travelers, the result is intended to offer an additional mobility option during short-distance movement, particularly when navigating large terminals, connecting between transport facilities, or crossing expansive indoor and outdoor spaces. The SE3SX was developed around this combination of mobility and travel utility. Its design brings together a rideable chassis, integrated storage, smart connectivity, and a compact form factor, allowing the product to function as both a cabin-oriented suitcase and a personal short-distance mobility device. Integrated Structural Design and Intelligent Ride Control The SE3SX combines its luggage body with an electric riding system, creating a unified product architecture rather than treating the mobility mechanism as a separate accessory. The official EPDA description emphasizes the integration of power, control, and storage, together with an aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy construction and a minimalist structural appearance. Under its riding configuration, the SE3SX uses a 230W brushless motor, a 5.2-inch motor-driven front wheel, and two 4-inch rear auxiliary wheels. Its electric telescopic front-wheel mechanism extends the wheelbase by 180 mm with a single touch, helping establish a more stable riding configuration. The product reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h, supports a maximum load of 95 kg, and is designed to handle inclines of approximately 6° under specified operating conditions. The riding handle is designed to simplify the transition between riding and towing. Once extended, the handle locks into position automatically, reducing the need for repeated manual adjustments. This interaction is part of Airwheel’s broader design objective: making advanced mobility functions accessible through a familiar luggage form. A Connected Interface Through the Airwheel App The SE3SX extends its physical controls through a dedicated smart app, connecting the suitcase to a mobile device. The app provides access to selected riding and product-management functions, including riding speed information, battery status, cumulative mileage, speed-level adjustment, and lighting customization. Users can also access functions such as telescopic control, low-battery notifications, Bluetooth disconnection reminders, and remote-control features, depending on the applicable product configuration and software support. This digital layer positions the suitcase as more than a self-propelled luggage platform. It provides an interface through which users can interact with product settings and monitor selected operating information, bringing connected-device functionality into a travel product. For Airwheel, the objective is not to introduce technology for its own sake. The focus is on making controls more accessible, reducing unnecessary operational steps, and integrating digital functionality into a product people use during real journeys. Apple Find My Integration for Luggage Location Assistance The SE3SX supports integration with Apple Find My, offering users an additional way to locate and identify their suitcase through the Apple ecosystem. For travelers, luggage tracking can be particularly useful in busy terminals, transportation hubs, and other environments where multiple bags may look similar. Apple Find My integration provides a location-assistance feature within a familiar digital environment, while proximity-based sound alerts can help users identify the suitcase when it is nearby and supported by the relevant functionality. The feature complements, rather than replaces, responsible luggage handling and travel security practices. Its availability and specific capabilities depend on the Apple Find My ecosystem, device compatibility, and applicable operating conditions. Compact Cabin-Oriented Design and Removable Battery Designed as a 20-inch cabin-oriented smart rideable suitcase, the SE3SX measures approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm and offers a 20-liter storage capacity. Its construction combines ABS+PC materials with an aviation-grade aluminum alloy frame, while the suitcase weighs approximately 6.6 kg excluding the portable power bank. The SE3SX is powered by a removable 73.26Wh lithium battery backed by multiple international certifications. Its detachable battery architecture is engineered to support applicable aviation transportation requirements, enabling the battery to be separated from the suitcase when necessary. By integrating certified battery technology with a removable design, Airwheel combines intelligent mobility with the practical demands of modern international travel. The SE3SX also includes a TSA-compatible lock, supporting inspection procedures where applicable. Its compact dimensions, integrated riding system, and removable battery architecture reflect the challenge of balancing mobility, storage, portability, and transport considerations within a single product. Extending the Travel Experience Through USB Connectivity The SE3SX incorporates a USB output interface designed to support charging for compatible everyday electronic devices. This adds a practical connectivity function to the luggage platform, allowing users to access power for devices such as smartphones and other USB-compatible electronics when supported by the product's power system. The USB interface forms part of Airwheel’s wider product philosophy: useful technology should be integrated into the travel experience without making the product unnecessarily complex. Alongside the riding system, app connectivity, and luggage functionality, the charging interface contributes to a more connected approach to personal travel equipment. Building a Broader Smart Rideable Suitcase Portfolio The SE3SX is part of Airwheel’s broader smart rideable suitcase portfolio, which includes products designed for different travel requirements, user groups, and mobility scenarios. The SE3SX Smart Carry on Rideable Cabin Suitcase combines a 20-liter cabin-oriented format with electric riding, app connectivity, Apple Find My integration, and an integrated luggage design. It is positioned within Airwheel’s premium smart travel product range. The SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase introduces a next-generation automatic riding configuration, with one-touch deployment of its front wheel and riding handle. Its design explores more automated interaction between the user and the suitcase. The SE3SL+ Airport Boarding Suitcase combines electric riding with app connectivity, USB charging, and location-tracking functionality, supporting users who frequently move through airports and other short-distance travel environments. The SE3T AI Wheel Suitcase provides a larger-capacity format for users who require additional storage space during longer trips and family travel. The SE3MiniT Electric Hand Suitcase focuses on a compact, lightweight format for short-distance mobility and everyday travel scenarios. The SQ3S Kids Suitcase is designed for family travel, combining a rideable luggage format with speed-limiting features intended for children. Together, these products demonstrate Airwheel’s effort to apply electric drive, intelligent control, and product-specific design approaches across different luggage formats. The portfolio is not built around a single type of traveler; it explores how smart mobility can be adapted to varying travel distances, storage requirements, and user needs. Continued Investment in Intelligent Mobility Technologies Airwheel’s development of smart rideable luggage forms part of a wider focus on intelligent mobility and human-machine interaction. The company’s technology areas include motion control algorithms, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing, and structural design. With more than 600 global patents, Airwheel continues to develop products across smart mobility and connected travel categories. Its portfolio includes self-balancing vehicles, electric scooters, smart folding bikes, smart wheelchairs, and smart rideable suitcases. The SE3SX illustrates this product-development direction through the combination of an electric propulsion system, integrated structural design, connected controls, and a compact luggage platform. Its recognition in the 2026 European Product Design Awards reflects the relevance of bringing these design and engineering considerations together within a consumer travel product. As smart mobility technology continues to develop, Airwheel is exploring how intelligent functions can be incorporated into everyday products without losing sight of usability, portability, and practical travel requirements.

(GA-ASI) congratulates the U.S. Air Force (USAF) on the pace of progress for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, which features the FQ-42 Vengeance designed and produced by GA-ASI. The latest milestone took place Sept. 18, when a new FQ-42 Vengeance was delivered to Creech AFB, Nev., to continue operations with test and evaluation units. "The CCA program's rate of progress has been incredible," said Mike Atwood, GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs. "Every week, the Air Force is pushing forward with new and more impressive accomplishments using Vengeance. It's amazing to think of how far this program has come in such a short amount of time." The FQ-42 that arrived at Creech will continue regular test and evaluation operations with the Air Force aimed at experimentation with the new aircraft. Previous efforts with Vengeance and other GA-ASI jets, including XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station and MQ-20 Avenger® - have found the trio of combat jets flying in various scenarios that push the boundaries of combat aviation. GA-ASI's jets have flown semi-autonomously and autonomously with various AI pilots and under collaborative control of human fighter pilots operating F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II jets. FQ-42 Vengeance, a 5th-generation uncrewed fighter with an internal weapons bay and other features designed for low observability and increased survivability, has flown formation flights alongside F-35 and F-15E Strike Eagle in preparation for collaborative control operations with manned aircraft. Those experiments will replicate company demonstrations previously flown by GA-ASI using MQ-20 as a CCA surrogate to advance CCA operations in parallel to the primary U.S. Air Force development program. GA-ASI was selected by USAF in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. FQ-42 Vengeance made its maiden flight in August 2025 and was selected in June 2026 for an initial production contract. GA-ASI has completed a new low-observable paint facility to support CCA production, and the company is currently positioned to deliver six aircraft per month to meet USAF goals, with more manufacturing space available to respond to additional orders. Production of FQ-42 Vengeance is underway on company investment as government funding plans mature, with GA-ASI continuing its longstanding tradition of working at-risk with its own funds to support U.S. procurement planning and prevent delays in delivery. GA-ASI plans to build multiple fighters for its own company aircraft fleet, to invest in inventing new technologies that reduce risk and increase capabilities for its global customers. XQ-67A and FQ-42 represent two customer-delivered examples of GA-ASI's Gambit Series of next-generation combat jets. The modular design of the Gambit Series enables rapid integration of new systems, weapons and autonomy software, allowing customers to quickly pivot the platform to new missions without significant redesign. GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Avenger has been used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed aircraft for CCA development. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory, is a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for the FQ-42 Vengeance program. About GA-ASI General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®, XQ-67A, and FQ-42A.

The partners proved that the Mojave Short Takeoff and Landing aircraft, or Mojave STOL, could land at a tank and artillery live-fire range during simulated combat conditions and then take off again to continue the mission. "This demonstration showcased Mojave's ability to perform tactical missions that are representative of real battlefield requirements and challenges," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "Whether the user needs contested and austere battlefield operations, ISR, weapons delivery, Air-Launched Effects deployment, troop resupply, counter-UAS, or missions requiring short and unimproved roads for takeoff, our aircraft answer the bell." "This demonstration marks an important milestone in delivering tangible results through the partnership between Hanwha and GA-ASI," said Buhwan Lee, CEO nominee of Hanwha Aerospace. "Going forward, we will work closely with the ROK defense industry to develop unmanned systems designed for future operating environments and expand our presence in global markets." The Defense Drone Technology Exhibition took place in the countryside north of Seoul and highlighted Mojave's ability to operate from an austere environment with a short runway. Configured with dual weapon rails and inert payloads, Mojave executed a concept of operations designed to illustrate how STOL capability enhances operational flexibility, survivability, and responsiveness for future ROK defense applications. The demo took place at the runway of ROK Army 513th Aviation Battalion and the Seungjin Training Field in Pocheon-si. Under the control of pilots operating from ground control stations, Mojave took off from a conventional runway at ROK Army 513th ROK Aviation Battalion, flew to the Seungjin Training Field where it joined air operations, then landed on a rough maneuver trail used mostly by ROK Army tanks and artillery vehicles. The aircraft then took back off again, resumed operations, and returned to ROK Army 513th Aviation Battalion. In an actual combat situation, soldiers could have refueled and re-armed Mojave during its time on the ground at the range. No other aircraft with Mojave's endurance, range or payload has this ability. In 2025, GA-ASI announced that it was partnering with Hanwha to co-develop and co-produce UAS with STOL capability for a worldwide customer base, including the ROK Ministry of National Defense, the United States Department of War and other global customers. Critical Design Review (CDR) for a production Mojave STOL is expected in November this year with first flight in 2027. The Mojave STOL demonstrator now is scheduled to travel to Changwon where it will be on display at Hanwha's Industry Day on September 21. The event will include an array of ROK suppliers, with many contributing to the production of Mojave STOL.

Chairman of the HKTDC, Professor Frederick Ma said, “We fully support the Chief Executive’s Policy Address and Hong Kong’s First Five-Year Plan.   As we face an uncertain world, setting short, medium and long-term goals will help businesses set directions and remain resilient. At the HKTDC, we are fully committed to aligning with these two plans.  This includes assisting the Government to expand the city’s convention and exhibition (C&E) facilities.” Professor Ma added, “With Hong Kong’s unique advantage of enjoying the mainland’s strong support while being connected to the world, our position as an international trade fair capital has been enhanced in the past few decades.   However, as the scale and diversity of fairs and conferences continue to grow in Hong Kong, there is a need to expand our facilities if we are to remain competitive.  That is why I fully support the Government’s proactive measure of setting up a task force led by the Deputy Financial Secretary to steer the Wan Chai North Redevelopment project.  We are pleased to have the opportunity to leverage our 60 years of expertise in this area to submit a proposal on the development approach of the project to the Government.” Regarding support for Hong Kong’s business community, the HKTDC also welcomes the Chief Executive’s measures to help Hong Kong SMEs diversify their markets, including strengthening the HKTDC “E-Commerce Express” programme to promote the awareness of Hong Kong brands and expand their coverage of e-commerce markets outside Hong Kong.   Other measures to enhance funding schemes and encourage adoption of technology by SMEs were also welcome.   The HKTDC will step up its efforts to support Hong Kong companies through our flagship fairs and conferences, including the Asian Financial Forum, Belt and Road Summit, Business of IP Asia Forum, CENTRESTAGE and InnoEX, while helping them access the Chinese Mainland including the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and international markets.   Professor Ma further said, “As a core member of the Government’s GoGlobal Task Force, HKTDC’s GoGlobal Connect programme supports Hong Kong’s professional services to partner with mainland enterprises to develop global markets, and we will align with the Policy Address to further consolidate Hong Kong’s role as the premier platform to go to.” Measures include deepening collaboration with trade associations in Hong Kong and target markets, enhancing the matching function of the Cross-sectoral Professional Services Platform and adding the ESG (environmental, social and governance) services, as well as providing training for mainland enterprises and local service providers who wish to expand to overseas markets, such as Belt and Road regions in ASEAN, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa.   The HKTDC will also leverage its 50+ offices around the world to organise international missions and overseas Hong Kong promotions which open doors to more prospects in the future. Professor Ma concluded, “As we continue to face fresh challenges, I am confident that the Policy Address and the First Five-Year Plan will forge a new path ahead for Hong Kong.  I look forward to leading our team on this journey to create more value for our business communities across Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and the world.”   Media enquiries Please contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department: Jane Cheung Tel: (852) 2584 4137 Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.org Johnny Tsui Tel: (852) 2584 4395 Email: johnny.cy.tsui@hktdc.org HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/en About HKTDC The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

(OTC: BLEG) Finalizes Acquisition of Autonomous Defense Company 2026-09-15 · ACN Newswire · Finance, AI, SaaS, Automotive, Education, Industrial, Aerospace & defense, Logistics https://www.acnnewswire.com/press-release/english/110106/ Vancouver, BC, Sept 15, 2026 - Branded Legacy, Inc. (OTC: BLEG) (“Branded Legacy” or the “Company”) today announced that it has acquired Bletchley Robotics, Inc. (“Bletchley Robotics”), a Canadian developer of layered autonomous defense systems focused on affordable, AI-commanded interception and survivability solutions for modern aerial and ground threats. Bletchley Robotics, named for the Top Secret base in Britain where allied forces successful cracked the Enigma code machines, is building a multi-phase layered survivability architecture for autonomous warfare. Its initial focus is the LADI-Hornet path, an upgraded AI-commanded interceptor drone platform designed for air-to-air engagement against FPV drones, loitering munitions, and other low-cost aerial threats. The system emphasizes operator-authorized autonomous kill-chain execution, extended range via air deployment, and unit economics targeting approximately $2,000–$8,000 per interceptor, a fraction of the cost of many existing portable or legacy missile systems. Subsequent phases outlined by the company include a UGV ecosystem (Harvestman, Scarab, and Mantis platforms for forward sustainment, casualty evacuation, logistics, and position defense) and the KADS-Widow close-range hard-kill point defense layer. The global counter-UAS market is projected by industry analysts to grow from approximately $3 billion in 2024 to more than $15 billion by 2030. Defense robotics investment reached roughly $6.7 billion over the trailing twelve months across 138 deals and the global robotics market is projected to grow from $357 billion in 2025 to $1.2–1.5 trillion by 2030 (PitchBook 2025 data cited by the company). Canada’s Defense Industrial Strategy outlines approximately $81.8 billion in modernization spending from 2025 to 2030. These converging trends, driven by the rapid proliferation of low-cost aerial threats, shifting procurement priorities among NATO and allied nations, and advances in commercial sensors, autonomy stacks, and additive manufacturing, create a substantial addressable opportunity for scalable, cost-effective autonomous defense solutions. New Management and Advisory Team Upon closing, Mackenzie Hughes will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Hughes is a Ukrainian Foreign Legion Special Forces veteran and drone-strike survivor who brings direct operational experience as both an operator and a target in modern drone warfare. He has established front-line partnerships with Ukrainian interceptor engineers and units for technology transfer and planned battlefield validation. The company’s advisory board includes: Dr. Gennaro Notomista, University of Waterloo (multi-agent autonomy) Ambassador and Admiral Mark Dybul, Georgetown University (Executive Chair) Mike Holl, Industrial Engineer (manufacturing at scale and ruggedization)  Three world-class advisors are committed some of whom are featured on CNN and WSJ, and the company is actively recruiting a Chief Technology Officer and a Department of National Defense procurement lead. In addition, Martin Mills will serve as Director of Business Development, and Victoria Zou will serve as Chief Development Officer. These changes have been submitted to OTC Markets, Inc who is processing the update. https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/30/europe/ukraine-robots-drones-russia-war-intl https://www.wsj.com/world/the-ground-drones-rescuing-ukraines-wounded-from-the-front-lines 50b4cede “Modern air-defense economics are structurally broken against mass-produced aerial threats,” said Mackenzie Hughes, incoming CEO. “By upgrading proven platforms with AI-commanded engagement and improved propulsion, then expanding into a full layered architecture, Bletchley Robotics aims to deliver field-validated, sovereign capability at a cost point that makes mass deployment realistic. This acquisition positions us to move from stealth development into rapid operational validation.” The Company expects several more acquisitions in the next few months, as well as a name change for the public vehicle. These events are expected to support the transition into the autonomous defense sector, and bolster ongoing operations. About Branded Legacy, Inc. Branded Legacy, Inc. (OTC: BLEG) is a publicly traded company focused on strategic acquisitions and growth in emerging technology sectors. Following the acquisition of Bletchley Robotics, the Company will concentrate on the development and commercialization of autonomous defense systems.

The recognition highlights not only its distinctive industrial design, but also Airwheel's continued exploration of how intelligent technology can be integrated into real-world travel. Rather than treating luggage as a passive container, Airwheel is developing it as an active mobility device—combining electric drive technology, intelligent controls, connected features and premium design in a compact carry-on format. From Traditional Luggage to Intelligent Mobility For decades, the fundamental concept of luggage has remained largely unchanged: pack belongings, pull the handle and walk. Airwheel approached the problem differently. The company recognized that the most physically demanding part of many journeys does not necessarily happen during a flight or train ride. It often occurs while travelers move through expansive airports, railway stations, exhibition centers, hotels and transportation hubs, carrying or pulling luggage over long distances. The result was a new product category that combines luggage with personal mobility. The Airwheel SE3SX Electric Riding Cabin Suitcase allows users to transition from conventional pulling to powered riding. Equipped with a high-performance brushless motor, the suitcase can reach a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h, providing an alternative way to move through appropriate travel environments. Its intelligent riding handle integrates key riding controls, allowing users to manage acceleration, braking, steering and reverse functions with a relatively intuitive control layout. This approach reduces the learning curve while making the riding experience feel more like a compact personal mobility device. For Airwheel, the objective is not simply to make a suitcase that can move. It is to make luggage more useful once travelers leave the airport gate, hotel lobby or railway platform. SE3SX: Where Intelligent Design Meets Practical Engineering The SE3SX combines mobility with a structure designed around both riding and luggage protection. Its motorized front wheel uses a retractable structure that can extend the wheelbase by approximately 180 mm when riding. The longer wheelbase is designed to enhance stability and handling, helping the suitcase maintain a more controlled riding experience across suitable indoor and outdoor surfaces. The suitcase body uses an ABS+PC composite construction, reinforced with an integrated aviation-aluminum frame structure. With a maximum load capacity of 95 kg, the design balances the requirements of riding stability with the everyday demands of carrying personal belongings. This engineering approach reflects a broader philosophy behind the SE3SX: intelligent functionality should not come at the expense of practicality. A Smart Suitcase still needs to function as luggage. A Luxury Suitcase still needs to look refined. And an Electric Riding Suitcase still needs to provide a reliable and intuitive riding experience. SE3SX brings these elements together in one 20-inch travel platform. Intelligent Interaction Beyond the Physical Ride The evolution of the SE3SX does not stop with electric mobility. Through its dedicated intelligent APP, users can access key operating information such as riding speed, battery level and accumulated mileage. Riding speed can be adjusted within a range of 0.1–9.9 km/h, allowing users to select a more suitable pace for different environments. The APP also extends control beyond basic riding. Users can remotely control the suitcase's retractable structure, customize its lighting experience and access additional intelligent functions. The built-in ambient lighting supports 8 colors and 9 lighting effects, allowing the suitcase to develop a distinctive visual identity while reinforcing its technology-oriented design language. Additional functions include low-battery reminders, Bluetooth disconnection alerts, cruise control, intelligent remote control and programming-oriented features. Together, these capabilities transform the suitcase from a mechanical travel accessory into a connected intelligent device. The idea is simple: instead of forcing users to adapt to complicated technology, the technology should gradually disappear into the experience. Apple Find My Adds Another Layer of Travel Security Connectivity also plays an important role in modern travel. The Airwheel SE3SX supports Apple Find My, allowing compatible Apple devices to help users locate the suitcase through the Find My network. When the suitcase is within an appropriate nearby range, users can also activate a sound to assist with locating it. For travelers moving through crowded airports, railway stations, hotels or other busy environments, location-based connectivity can provide an additional layer of reassurance. The feature reflects a wider shift in how people think about travel equipment. A modern suitcase is no longer isolated from the digital ecosystem surrounding its owner. It can be connected, monitored and managed as part of a broader intelligent travel experience. Designed for Real-World Travel Advanced technology only becomes meaningful when it works within real travel conditions. The Airwheel SE3SX adopts a 20-inch carry-on format, measuring approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm, making it compact enough for everyday business trips, leisure travel and other mobility scenarios. The product is equipped with a 73.26 Wh lithium battery and incorporates a modular, removable battery design to facilitate handling and inspection where required. The battery has passed International safety certification. A TSA-compatible combination lock further supports international travel, while an external USB output interface allows users to recharge mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and Bluetooth headphones during a journey. These details demonstrate an important principle behind SE3SX: intelligent travel technology must remain connected to the realities of travel. An Award That Recognizes More Than Appearance The 2026 WGA Wonder Global Design Award evaluates product design across multiple dimensions, including creativity, aesthetics, functionality, practicality, market impact, emotional impact and problem-solving. The SE3SX Silver Award therefore represents recognition beyond visual design. Its combination of electric mobility, intelligent interaction, structural engineering and travel-oriented functionality demonstrates how a familiar everyday product can be reconsidered through technology. For Airwheel, international design recognition has become part of a longer journey. Since entering the intelligent mobility field, the company has continued to invest in areas including electric drive systems, intelligent control, structural design and human-machine interaction. Airwheel has accumulated more than 600 patents globally and has developed a portfolio spanning intelligent mobility products and smart travel equipment. The company's products have also received recognition from international design and innovation programs, reflecting its ongoing efforts to combine technology with practical product design. Building a Broader Intelligent Travel Ecosystem SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase is the flagship expression of this philosophy, but it is not the only product in Airwheel's intelligent travel portfolio. The SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase extend smart riding technology to different travel preferences, combining riding functionality with features such as intelligent APP connectivity, Apple Find My and USB charging. The SE3miniT Boarding suitcase focuses on a lighter and more compact riding experience for users who prioritize portability and flexible urban mobility. For travelers requiring additional luggage capacity, the SE3T expands the concept into a larger 24-inch format with approximately 48 liters of storage capacity and a riding speed of up to 13 km/h. Airwheel also extends intelligent riding technology into family travel with the SQ3S and SQ3S children's smart riding suitcases, creating a different approach to mobility and entertainment for younger travelers. Together, these products demonstrate that Airwheel's vision is broader than a single electric suitcase. The company is building a product ecosystem around the idea that travel equipment can become more intelligent, more connected and more responsive to individual needs. The Next Step in Intelligent Travel The evolution of luggage is no longer limited to lighter materials, larger wheels or additional storage. The next generation is increasingly about interaction. From Smart Suitcase to AI Suitcase, from traditional carry-on luggage to Electric Riding Suitcase, Airwheel is exploring how technology can give everyday travel equipment new capabilities without making the experience unnecessarily complicated. The Airwheel SE3SX represents one step in that evolution. It combines powered mobility, intelligent control, connected functions, premium construction and carry-on-oriented design in a single platform—turning the suitcase from something travelers simply pull behind them into something that can actively participate in the journey. For Airwheel, the future of travel is not simply about arriving faster. It is about making the entire journey smarter, easier and more connected. And with the SE3SX, that future is beginning to take shape—one journey, one innovation and one intelligent suitcase at a time.

The two-day Summit attracted over 6,200 political and business leaders from more than 70 countries and regions, showcased over 300 investment projects, arranged more than 800 one-on-one deal-making meetings, and facilitated more than 60 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). This year's Summit focused on business globalisation, new market opportunities, and cross-regional cooperation, promoting exchanges and collaboration between the government and business sectors, creating opportunities for enterprises to expand into international markets, while deepening Hong Kong's economics and trade ties with emerging markets such as ASEAN, Central Asia, and the Middle East, underscoring Hong Kong's unique role as a super connector and super value-adder. The 11th Belt and Road Summit concluded successfully, bringing together political and business leaders, investors, and professionals from over 70 countries and regions worldwide to explore Belt and Road cooperation opportunities First-ever "GoGlobal Chapter" helps enterprises expand into global markets In response to the accelerating pace of Chinese Mainland enterprises expanding into overseas markets, the Summit introduced the GoGlobal Chapter for the first time, becoming one of the highlights of this year's event. The Chapter encompassed thematic sessions, the GoGlobal Connect Zone, roundtable discussions, and the GoGlobal Business Study Mission, providing a one-stop exchange and matchmaking platform for enterprises looking to explore overseas markets. In particular, the thematic breakout session held yesterday, titled "Chinese Mainland Enterprises Going Global: Driving Mutual Growth Across Belt and Road Economies", featured welcome remarks by Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau, as well as sharing of practical experience by representatives from several Chinese Mainland enterprises and Hong Kong professional services enterprises, who explored how to connect with international markets through Hong Kong.

The Summit brought together government officials, business leaders, and investors from the Central Asian region to exchange views and share the latest development opportunities and investment prospects. Key development projects such as Kazakhstan's Alatau City and Data Center Valley attracted participants' interest in related investment and cooperation opportunities. Bakhtiyar Mukhametkaliyev, Vice Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, said: "Kazakhstan has a strong aerospace foundation. The sector combines research institutions, laboratories, satellites, assembly and testing capabilities, and the Baikonur Cosmodrome. We are developing a satellite system and digital platform for agriculture, land use, emergency response, and resource management."

The Business Plenary held yesterday, themed "Unlocking New Market Opportunities along and beyond the Belt and Road", focused on the Middle East and African markets. Speakers from Qatar, Oman, South Africa, and Nigeria shared insights on the enormous potential of emerging markets along and beyond the Belt and Road amid the evolving global business landscape, and explored how Hong Kong can help global enterprises seize new market opportunities. Additionally, the Project Investment Session, New Market Focus: The Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, invited political and business representatives from Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, Oman, and South Africa to share developments in their key industries, helping enterprises grasp the latest investment opportunities and expand their international cooperation networks. Furthermore, at Signature Projects Session on the second day, Enver Iskurt, Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Turkiye, introduced the large-scale Ankara-Istanbul super speed railway infrastructure project, and said: "Turkey is a secure hub that has continued to pursue its projects with determination despite global uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. Hong Kong-based investors, financial institutions, and engineering firms can play an active role at every stage of our projects, from financing to engineering solutions, particularly in the railway investments we have prioritised in recent times."

Among the MoUs facilitated by this year's Summit was one involving Jabal Asset Management LLC of Oman. Issa Al Battashi, Managing Director and Executive Board Member of Jabal Asset Management LLC, said: "We feel that the Summit as a whole is an opportunity to connect capital, institutions and retail investors across these markets. We believe that if we are able to keep creating dialogue and forming meaningful partnerships, we should see a lot of this translate into positive results in the near future." The Exhibition Zones, including the Hong Kong Zone, Global Investment Zone, Chinese Mainland Zone, and ASEAN Zone, featured more than 120 exhibitors.

The event featured dedicated consultation sessions, allowing participants to engage in face-to-face in-depth discussions with representatives from HKTDC's ASEAN offices, various ASEAN Consulates General and associations, enabling precise alignment with enterprises' overseas expansion needs. The HKTDC will launch more thematic promotion activities for high-potential markets, including GoGBA Development Day, African Market Day, and Middle East Market Day, to assist Hong Kong enterprises, particularly SMEs, in seizing new global development opportunities. Although the Summit has concluded successfully, cooperation negotiations will continue, and a series of follow-up activities will continue to drive cooperation implementation. The Belt and Road Deal-Making will be extended to 14-15 September in an online format, continuing to provide enterprises with business matching and cooperation opportunities.

(GA-ASI) is pleased to announce its groundbreaking Wildfire UAS, a clean-sheet aircraft designed to maximize future investments in large uncrewed aircraft that incorporates lessons learned over decades of large-scale global UAS operations. Wildfire draws upon more than 30 years of delivering more than 1,600 world-changing uncrewed aircraft, including the MQ-1B Predator®, MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-9B SkyGuardian®, MQ-20 Avenger® and FQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft. GA-ASI aircraft have amassed nearly 10 million total flight hours, mostly in combat, and introduced many of the technologies and concepts now emulated by others around the world. "This is exactly the right design for high-demand missions and cost-conscious customers," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "Our tailor-designed, attrition-tolerant Wildfire balances the high capability our aircraft are known for with huge flexibility and great scalability. There's never been anything like it before." Wildfire is a new type of uncrewed aircraft, merging the best features of GA-ASI's proven UAS with lower-cost components, tailored capabilities, and reimagined modularity. For defense customers, this enables Wildfire to be fielded quickly in large numbers, take risk in kinetic battlefield roles, and bring significant mass to the fight in ways that would have been prohibitive with other systems. In non-combat roles, Wildfire's increased payload capacity and stronger hardpoints provide new options for heavy cargo delivery and other commercial activities. "We've defined the top end of what medium-altitude, long-endurance uncrewed aircraft can do," Alexander said. "Our MQ-9B is showing that it can do almost anything. Hunt for submarines, defend against drones, perform airborne early warning and many other missions, and that won't change. But Wildfire is different. It's focused on core ISR, strike and similar roles. This is a high-volume, lower-cost airplane that does a few things really well." Wildfire will be highly autonomous and designed for collaborative operations on Day One, leveraging our FQ-42A systems. GA-ASI has proposed Wildfire for the U.S. Air Force's Massed Modular Aircraft (MMA) competition within the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), which aims to develop an alternative to the MQ-9A Reaper. Wildfire meets or surpasses all requirements of that request in dramatic fashion, exceeding 8,000 nautical miles ferry range and capable of carrying two Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles simultaneously for meaningful combat distance. Wildfire can also carry four Joint Strike Missiles simultaneously, or numerous other combinations of munitions, launched effects, sensors or other payloads. Advanced autonomy provides for networked, collaborative combat control of dozens of Wildfires at once, and the aircraft's proliferated low-earth orbit satellite controls have already been proven on numerous GA-ASI aircraft flying today. Wildfire can be delivered years earlier than the FY2031 timeline defined by DIU, producing more than twice as many aircraft in the same amount of time, thanks to GA-ASI's robust, existing manufacturing footprint and extensive network of suppliers, subcontractors, and partners.

The upgrade positions AIV as an advanced, structured investment analytics tool designed to simplify research across cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether, as well as tech giants including Nvidia and SpaceX. AIV allows users to ask simple questions about assets such as Bitcoin and Ether, as well as technology companies such as Nvidia and SpaceX. It then organizes responses around market outlook, technical analysis, fundamentals and risk, presenting the results in a format resembling a concise research note rather than simply generating "buy" or "sell" signals. The approach is intended to give users a more structured way of thinking about investment decisions. AIV is able to break an investment portfolio down into different sources of risk and return, distinguish between established assets and higher-growth exposures, and examine how seemingly different investments may become correlated during periods of market stress. For technology equities, the same framework can be used to distinguish between areas such as AI infrastructure, cloud computing and consumer platforms, while setting out the main upside and downside cases. The analytics platform is also designed to go beyond identifying potential returns. AIV can frame an investment thesis in terms of the assumptions on which it depends and highlight the conditions that would challenge those assumptions. Key price levels, changes in fundamentals or other "invalidation" scenarios can therefore provide investors with a clearer indication of when an investment view should be reconsidered. Google's Gemini is central to the platform's potential. Google's AI models can work across text, images, video, audio and code, while connecting with current information and interacting with external tools. Applied to AIV, these capabilities will allow the Chatbot to analyze earnings releases, retrieve market data, examine charts and tokenomics documents, calculate portfolio exposures, and explain the results in a conversational format that is easy to understand. Over time, as the technology matures, Gemini could enable investors to upload financial documents or charts for analysis, compare risks across assets, and identify developments that challenge an existing investment thesis. This would move the Chatbot closer to becoming an interactive investment research assistant. "Investors are surrounded by a wealth of information, but information on its own does not create clarity," said Ryan Chi, CEO and founder. "AIV is being built to help users connect the signals that actually matter." Kingston Kwek, an advisor to AIV, said the key objective is to make sophisticated investment analytics traditionally associated with professional investors more accessible to a broader audience by tapping Gemini's extensive analytical capabilities, especially since Gemini has achieved global adoption with hundreds of millions of users worldwide. If AIV can pair Gemini's ability to summarize and organize information with transparent sources, clear risk controls and plain-language explanations, it could become a powerful research tool for investors navigating the growing overlap between crypto, artificial intelligence and technology equities.

JAVA, Indonesia, Sept 9, 2026 - Although this thermal drone helps in detection, its flight duration is limitedlasting a maximum of about 30 minutes per flight. Conducting longer patrols requires additional batteries and a schedule of two patrols per week. Universitas Brawijaya (UB) Forest management is strengthening forest fire mitigation techniques by deploying a Matrice 30T thermal drone which capable of detecting hotspots from the air within the area. Muhammad Yusuf, the Coordinator for Forest Area Protection and Supervision at UB Forest, stated in an official release received in Malang City, East Java, on Thursday, that the technology assists personnel in obtaining preliminary information regarding suspected fire hotspots before field interventions are carried out. "If a hotspot is detected, we immediately go to the site to check. If a fire is found, it will promptly be extinguished," Yusuf said. The use of this drone represents a preparedness measure by UB Forest management to prevent fires amidst an increasingly drier dry season.Such dry conditions necessitate more intensive monitoring patterns. The team utilized the technology to monitor the area between August 25 and 27, 2026, yielding results when a fire was detected just outside the sitespecifically in the border zone between UB Forest and the adjacent to forest area. Nevertheless, Yusuf noted that findings from aerial monitoring remain a concern for personnel, as the fire could potentially spread into UB Forest if not addressed quickly. He added that the detected fire was successfully brought under control and extinguished. Afterward, personnel conducted a sweep to ensure no new hotspots emerged, including within the UB Forest area itself. Thankfully, everything is still safe; the team conducted another check using drones, and nothing was found, he said. In an effort to safeguard the forest area, management involves local farmers who cultivate the land through a cooperation agreement scheme.Rifqi Rahmat Hidayatullah, the Coordinator of Functional Position Group (KJF) for Education, Training, and Development at UB Forest Management Unit (UPT), explained that the use of thermal drones is one way to extend the reach and strengthen patrolswhich are traditionally conducted on the groundto detect potential fires. Foot or motorcycle patrols have limited range, he noted. He further explained that the Matrice 30T thermal drone is equipped with sensors which capable of detecting surface temperatures. When an area with a higher temperature than its surroundings is detected, officers can direct the drone to that location to inspect it using the device's zoom-capable camera. Yulianto Muji Nugroho, an Educational Laboratory Technician (PLP) at UB Forest, stated that in a single flight, the drone can cover an area of ​​approximately 10 hectares, with a maximum monitoring range of about 500 meters. This capability allows officers to monitor a wider area from the air. In one flight, the Matrice 30T can cover an area of ​​around 10 hectares, with a maximum monitoring range of about 500 meters of 60-80 ht. This reach helps officers gain an initial overview of the area's condition without having to manually sweep the entire site. “Although this thermal drone helps in detection, its flight duration is limitedlasting a maximum of about 30 minutes per flight. Conducting longer patrols requires additional batteries and a schedule of two patrols per week. he said. Due to these limitations, the drone serves as a supporting tool within the early detection system rather than a replacement for field patrols.Despite the use of technology, UB Forest managers recognize that fire mitigation still requires public awareness.

As intelligent mobility and connected technology continue to reshape everyday life, the traditional suitcase is entering a new stage of evolution. Airwheel, a brand focused on intelligent mobility and smart travel solutions, is bringing electric drive systems, intelligent controls, connected functions and premium design into the luggage category, creating a new generation of AI Suitcase and Smart Suitcase products for modern travelers. For decades, innovation in luggage has largely focused on improving wheels, handles, materials and storage. Airwheel is taking a different approach by making the suitcase an active part of the journey. Through integrated electric mobility and intelligent control technologies, the brand is transforming luggage from something travelers simply pull into something that can actively move with them. From Pulling Luggage to Riding Suitcase Airwheel's intelligent luggage is built around a simple idea: technology should reduce effort rather than create additional complexity. By integrating electric drive systems into its luggage platform, Airwheel enables users to ride with their suitcases through airports, railway stations, hotels and other travel environments. This evolution from conventional luggage to a Rideable Suitcase is designed to make long walks, transfers and busy travel environments more manageable. The latest Airwheel SE3SXD takes this concept further with a one-touch riding system. With a simple press, the electric front wheel automatically deploys while the intelligent handle rises into position, allowing users to transition from pulling mode to riding mode with minimal effort. The riding speed can reach 9.9 km/h, while the retractable motorized front-wheel structure increases the wheelbase during riding to help improve stability and control across everyday surfaces, including indoor floors, sidewalks, speed bumps and moderate inclines. For Airwheel, the objective is not simply to create an Electric Suitcase that can be ridden, but to make intelligent mobility more intuitive and accessible in real-world travel scenarios. The Airwheel SE3SXD — A Flagship AI Luxury Suitcase Designed for Intelligent Travel As the flagship model in Airwheel's latest intelligent travel portfolio, the Airwheel SE3SXD brings together electric mobility, intelligent interaction, connected travel functions and premium luggage design in a single platform. The SE3SXD is designed around the idea that a modern suitcase should do more than carry belongings. Its one-touch riding system allows the electric front wheel to deploy automatically while the intelligent telescopic handle rises into position, creating a simplified transition from conventional luggage to rideable mobility. With a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h, the SE3SXD is designed to help travelers move more efficiently through large airports, railway stations, hotels and urban environments. The retractable electric front-wheel structure extends the wheelbase during riding, helping provide a more stable riding experience while maintaining a compact profile when the suitcase is used in conventional pull mode. Its intelligent functions further distinguish the SE3SXD from traditional luggage. Through the dedicated Airwheel smart app, users can access riding-related controls and information, including speed adjustment, battery status, mileage, remote telescopic control and personalized lighting effects. Selected smart functions are designed to make the suitcase easier to monitor and customize according to different travel preferences. The SE3SXD also supports Apple Find My functionality, allowing compatible users to locate their suitcase through the Find My app. This adds a practical layer of connected luggage management, particularly in crowded airports, stations and other environments where keeping track of personal belongings can be challenging. Power management is another important part of the experience. The SE3SXD is equipped with a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery, with a modular design that allows the battery to be removed when required for transportation or security procedures. The suitcase body combines ABS+PC composite materials with a reinforced aviation-grade aluminum frame, providing structural support while maintaining a premium appearance. Together with its intelligent mobility system and connected functions, the SE3SXD represents Airwheel's vision of an AI Suitcase that combines practical technology with the expectations of premium travel. In this sense, the SE3SXD is not simply an Electric Suitcase or Rideable Suitcase. It brings together the functions of a Smart Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase and Luxury Suitcase, creating a more integrated approach to intelligent personal travel. Smart Connectivity Across the Travel Journey Electric riding is only one part of Airwheel's approach to smart luggage. Through the dedicated Airwheel smart app, compatible products support iOS, Android and HarmonyOS, enabling users to view key information such as riding speed, mileage and remaining battery power while customizing selected functions. Depending on the model, intelligent functions include variable speed adjustment, remote telescopic control, personalized lighting, low-battery alerts, distance alerts and intelligent cruise control. USB charging functionality further expands the role of Airwheel luggage. By providing a convenient charging interface, the suitcase can help travelers keep smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds and other essential electronic devices powered throughout the journey. Together, these features transform the traditional suitcase into a more connected Smart Suitcase and Power Suitcase, designed around the increasingly digital nature of modern travel. A Product Portfolio Designed for Different Travel Needs Airwheel is expanding intelligent luggage across different sizes, users and travel scenarios rather than limiting the concept to a single suitcase format. Airwheel SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase and SE3SX Cabin Suitcase — Smart Cabin Mobility The SE3SL+ and SE3SX focus on the needs of frequent travelers seeking a balance between portability, riding functionality and cabin convenience. Designed around a 20-inch Cabin Suitcase format, the models combine electric riding capabilities with intelligent controls and connected functions. Their compact form makes them particularly suitable for travelers who regularly move between airports, railway stations, hotels and business destinations. With premium materials, integrated technology and rideable functionality, they also demonstrate how a Luxury Suitcase can evolve beyond appearance and storage to deliver practical intelligent mobility. Airwheel SE3T Electric Suitcase — Smart Luggage for Longer Journeys For travelers who need additional storage capacity, the Airwheel SE3T adopts a 24-inch format with approximately 48 liters of storage space. It retains the core riding concept while providing additional room for longer trips, family travel and journeys requiring more luggage. The SE3T demonstrates that smart mobility does not have to be limited to compact carry-on luggage. Airwheel SQ3 and SQ3S Kids suitcase — Intelligent Mobility for Family Travel Airwheel also extends its smart mobility concept to younger travelers with the SQ3 and SQ3S intelligent riding suitcases. Designed specifically for children, the models combine riding functionality with smart speaker features. With a maximum riding speed of up to 6.5 km/h and a maximum load of 40 kg, they bring entertainment and mobility together in a compact travel format. By expanding intelligent luggage into family travel, Airwheel is exploring how smart mobility can become part of the travel experience for different age groups. From compact cabin luggage to larger travel formats and family-oriented riding solutions, Airwheel's expanding product portfolio reflects a broader effort to bring intelligent mobility into different stages of the travel journey. Technology and Design Behind Intelligent Mobility A rideable suitcase requires more than an electric motor. It combines electric drive technology, battery management, structural engineering, intelligent controls and human-machine interaction within a compact luggage platform. Airwheel has built an intellectual property portfolio of more than 600 patents and 168 trademarks worldwide. Its products have received more than 39 international design awards, with recognition from design organizations and competitions in Germany, the United States, France, Berlin and Asia. The brand says its intelligent luggage products have also generated more than 20 billion media impressions worldwide, reflecting growing interest in the emerging category of smart and rideable travel products. From the Electric Suitcase to the connected Smart Suitcase, from the premium Cabin Suitcase to the emerging AI Suitcase, Airwheel is continuing to explore how technology can make travel more effortless. The vision is ultimately simple: when luggage becomes easier to move, easier to control and easier to track, travelers can spend less energy managing their belongings and more time enjoying the journey. Airwheel is redefining the role of luggage — from something travelers carry to an intelligent companion designed to move with them.

The programs align with the Company's hybrid prospect generator model, under which partners fund the majority of exploration expenditure with Kincora generating large-scale porphyry system targets. The air-core programs complement ongoing asset-level partner discussions and are expected to add scale and value while upgrading Kincora's geological concepts. HIGHLIGHTS Sole funded budget of up to A$3-million Board approval for extensive air-core drilling seeking to systematically and cost effectively advance 17 targets across four projects (Nyngan West, Fairholme, Cowal East and Trundle) expanding existing known mineralised porphyry systems and testing of new targets. Formal process with potential new asset level partners progressing with strong interest. Kincora's net cash position is forecast to further increase in both September and the December quarter with further receipt of proceeds from the US$10-million divestment of our Mongolian projects 1. Kincora's last reported cash balance was A$12-million 2. Programs for 340 holes and over 25,000 metres Nyngan West: Maiden drilling across both ultramafic and Macquarie Arc porphyry targets. Fairholme: Seeking to expand a structurally controlled gold system at the Gateway target from a 1.6km to 2.6km strike, advance the adjacent Dungarvan target and expand three porphyry copper system targets in the northern portion of the license. Maiden drilling proposed across the strategically located southern Nerang target. Cowal East: Series of drill lines across six targets stepping out from two known intrusive systems and maiden drilling of regionally significant geophysical anomalies. Trundle: Very shallow drilling across a total of 19km2 area in the north, south and Dunns section of the project seeking to replicate the success of similar programs at the Northparkes project that have led to multiple porphyry copper-gold deposit discoveries situated within the same interpreted caldera. Condobolin update: Full assay results pending for the completed 9-hole, 2,615 metre program with localised higher-grade gold and base metals 3. Independent review proposed to confirm interpretation of a Reduced Intrusion System geological target model and refine follow up. New opportunities: Kincora continues to review a pipeline of new opportunities where it has a competitive advantage to add shareholder value including recent claim extensions of targets at the Fairholme and Cowal East projects. The Company is proactively utilising Geomorphic AI's proprietary system in the review process with thirty reviews undertaken to date 4. President & CEO, Sam Spring, commented: "We are excited to embark on an extensive air-core drilling program over the upcoming Spring and Summer field season, systematically advancing four key projects across our NSW portfolio. Our projects and targets compete for capital and resourcing. These programs are designed to quickly and cost effectively test and advance our geological concepts, add scale and value, and position the highest-priority opportunities for larger-scale exploration. Importantly, this work complements our hybrid prospect generator strategy. Following extensive independent, internal and next-generation technical reviews, we have commenced a formal process with potential new asset-level partners for a number of our more advanced and brownfield porphyry projects with strong initial interest. The planned sole funded drilling programs will complement this process. With partner-funded drilling by AngloGold Ashanti continuing, management fee income being generated and further proceeds expected from the US$10-million divestment of our Mongolian portfolio, Kincora is well positioned to fund these programs while continuing to grow our net cash position and pursue new growth opportunities." Figure 1: Kincora's NSW Project Portfolio Eight projects in total, including the Northern Junee Narromine Belt project funded by and in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti where drilling is ongoing. Recent diamond drilling has taken place at the Condobolin project, results pending, with air-core drilling proposed at the Nyngan West, Fairholme, Cowal East and Trundle projects. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/312600_795de1173497999c_001full.jpg STRATEGY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW As part of Kincora's ongoing portfolio review process, the Company's Technical Committee has evaluated the exploration and corporate strategy for each of its wholly owned NSW projects, with a focus on systematically advancing opportunities and generating shareholder value. These reviews consider both technical and commercial factors in-line with the Company's hybrid prospector generator model, under which the majority of exploration expenditure is funded by asset level partners. Kincora's role is to secure prospective ground and undertake earlier stage, lower cost exploration activities to advance and validate geological concepts ahead of larger-scale drilling programs. Recent internal and independent reviews across the portfolio have identified significant open and highly prospective areas within various wholly owned projects where extensions of mineralisation and/or open geophysical anomalies currently lack sufficient coverage to support deeper drilling. All targets and projects are ranked and compete for capital and resources, taking into account technical merit and operational considerations. From this process 17 targets have been prioritised for drilling during the upcoming Spring and Summer field season, when ground conditions and access are generally favourable for air-core drilling. As discussions with potential partners advance around earn-in and joint venture funding models capable of supporting multi-year, multi-phase drilling, Kincora has also pegged open ground adjacent to priority targets at the Cowal East and Fairholme projects. The Company is now seeking to sole fund over 25,000 metres of air-core drilling at four projects. These programs are in addition to ongoing partner-funded drilling with AngloGold Ashanti, which has been underway since the 2025 end of year holiday break. Air-core drilling is a fast and cost-effective technique for collecting basement samples under shallow cover to test and refine target areas mapping mineralisation, alteration, lithology and depth. These results help generate, test and refine targets and this technique has been a key phase in many significant discoveries in the Lachlan Fold Belt. The spacing of Kincora's programs are reflective of the nature of the target, stage of exploration at the target and seeking to gain coverage over significant geophysical anomalies to help refine and determine where more detailed and expensive drilling is warranted. NYNGAN WEST PROJECT The Nyngan West project includes a single large licence (207.4km2) with no outcrop and has not previously been drill tested or basement rocks sampled. The project is prospective for two different mineral systems and is located to the immediate west of the Company's Nyngan project which is included in an earn-in and joint venture agreement with AngloGold Ashanti where drilling is ongoing testing maiden porphyry system targets. The program at Nyngan West is expected to be completed before year end. Sole funded Kincora drilling will test two porphyry targets for potential extensions of the Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc under relatively shallow interpreted cover. Drilling is also proposed to test a regionally significant magnetic high, gravity low anomaly and structurally controlled extensions interpreted to be part of the Fifield Suite. These targets are highly prospective for various critical minerals including scandium, nickel and cobalt, which are often hosted on similar magnetic highs to the west of the Junee-Narromine Belt. Such settings host Sunrise Energy Metals Limited's (SRL.ASX, market capitalisation A$2.9-billion) namesake project and adjacent ground to Nyngan West. FAIRHOLME PROJECT Previous drilling by major mining companies, predominately Newcrest, has defined an extensive structurally controlled gold with base metals mineralised footprint in the south of the project at the Gateway target and several earlier stage porphyry copper targets to the north. Previous exploration predominately focused on a traditional Macquarie Arc porphyry copper deposit model rather than the recent Cowal-style epithermal gold and/or hybrid porphyry copper-gold methodology, often off the shoulders of such geophysical anomalies and with greater weighting on geochemical vectors and structure. This newer exploration model has resulted in significant recent exploration success in the Macquarie Arc by Evolution Mining at the Cowal mine, Alkane Resources at Boda-Kaiser deposit, Waratah Minerals at Spur discovery and LinQ Minerals at the Dam/Gidginbung projects. Koonenberry Gold is shortly planning sole funded drilling at its Wilga project west of Kincora's Fairholme project (and noting Newmont is earning into Koonenberry Gold's Fairholme project immediately adjacent to the north of our Fairholme project). Initial air-core and diamond drilling by Kincora has already expanded the structurally controlled gold and base metals system at the Gateway target from 600 metres to 1,600 metres 5 with the proposed program seeking to expand this a further kilometre, as well as advance the adjacent Dungarvan target. Follow up step out drilling is also proposed at three highly prospective porphyry copper targets in the northern portion of the licence, Anomaly 2, Driftway C and Manna Creek. Land access and maiden drilling are proposed across the strategically located southern Nerang prospect. Drilling at Fairholme is expected to commence immediately after the Christmas-New Year break. COWAL EAST PROJECT Previously the focus of limited drilling by BHP and Newcrest, the Cowal East project sits immediately to the east, on the other side of Lake Cowal to Evolution Mining's flagship Cowal mine and as close as 4km north of the Marsden porphyry copper-gold deposit. Like other projects on the Cowal Igneous Complex, there is limited outcrop with basement masked by relatively shallow post mineral cover. Earlier in 2026, Kincora completed a 'traditional' ground gravity survey which upgraded various targets 6, with Atomionics Pte Ltd's next generation 'quantum" gravity survey scheduled to commence in November. Kincora has designed a series of drill lines across six targets stepping out from two known Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes and maiden drilling of regionally significant geophysical anomalies testing similar targets and settings that led to the discovery of Marsden. TRUNDLE PROJECT Kincora's Trundle project is hosted in the interpreted western rift of the Northparkes Igneous Complex and with previous drilling predominately by the major mining companies returning large mineralised footprints at/near surface in the north and south of the licence 7. Recently completed internal and independent reviews have identified multiple prospective and open mineralised intrusion centres, seeking to test more optimal interplays of structures occurring along prospective zones characterised by strong gradients. Very shallow drilling across a total of 19km2 area in the north, south and Dunns section of the project is seeking to replicate the success of similar programs at the Northparkes mine and other side of the same interpreted caldera that have led to multiple porphyry copper-gold deposit discoveries, including the E44 deposit which is currently the focus of a multiple rig program and potentially the first satellite deposit to the existing mill.

The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Lachlan Fold Belt, one of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar basin in NSW. The Company has already unlocked over A$100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects. These initial deals have supported over 20,000 metres of drilling and over A$10m of partner funded exploration since late 2024, with management fees and exploration ramping up. Various partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship and advanced exploration stage porphyry projects.

A blockbuster is a product that is expected to deliver a peak sales potential of at least 500 million euros. Plenexos™ insecticide and the Preceon™ Smart Corn System have already started to be commercialized. In soy, Vyconic™ 1 is expected for introduction next year in the United States and Canada, and Intacta 5+™1 introduction is expected for the 2027/2028 growing season in Brazil. “We are delivering on the promises we made and bringing a new generation of game-changing products to farmers. By connecting seed and crop protection innovation we can deliver whole-farm solutions that help growers manage risk, capture yield potential and improve return on investment,” said Rodrigo Santos, Member of the Board of Management of Bayer AG and Head of the Crop Science Division. “We pursue a very diligent and differentiated strategy for each of our segments, addressing different growth dynamics, farmer needs, and regional and competitive dynamics. Because we have scale, we see having these different business segments together as a significant strategic advantage – one that plays out in what we innovate and how we can serve growers.” The Preceon™ Smart Corn System, a digitally enabled short-stature corn system, is already delivering on-farm value in Mexico, Italy, Spain, and the U.S. This year, the commercial launch in Argentina will begin. It delivers a unique combination of benefits for growers, including increased protection against weather extremes, flexibility to plant at higher densities, improved accessibility for standard farm equipment throughout the season, and a larger root system, all supporting reduced agronomic risk, higher yield potential and better return on investment for farmers. By 2035, Bayer targets a market penetration of 26 million acres. Preceon™ is also unique by embedding digital capabilities within the system through FieldView™. More than a sales enablement platform, it serves as a collaboration tool between farmers and their agronomic advisors and helps customers realize the full agronomic and economic potential of the system. Plenexos™, a new insecticide targeting a broad spectrum of sucking pests, has been introduced in Colombia, with Mexico, Brazil, and the U.S. set to follow. Compared to other products, farmers can use up to 75 percent less active ingredient to control pests2 which also helps safeguard pollinators, beneficial insects and other non-target organisms. With a focus on soy, cotton, fruits and vegetables, Plenexos™ is anticipated to reach a peak sales potential of 500 million euros by the mid-2030s. Vyconic™ will be the industry's first soybean trait stack with tolerance to five herbicides. It is designed to provide growers with more flexibility in their weed control options and to better manage weed pressure and increasingly problematic resistance. Because of the integration with Bayer’s advanced breeding pipeline, Vyconic™ will be introduced in elite-performing varieties that have demonstrated a yield increase of more than two bushels per acre, meaning that farmers realize the full value of both increased genetic yield potential and weed control flexibility earlier than ever. Bayer anticipates strong adoption of Vyconic™ and subsequent launch of HT5, helping to regain trait leadership position in North America by 2032. Intacta 5+™ will also bring five herbicide tolerances to Brazilian growers, and adds new insect protection traits specifically designed for the Brazilian market. In soy, these and the next generation of herbicide tolerance traits, combined with the newest insect protection traits, are expected to reach a peak sales potential of more than 3 billion euros. Additional blockbusters expected before the end of the decade include fourth-generation corn rootworm protection, as well as the groundbreaking herbicide Icafolin, targeting 750 million euros sales potential in the mid-2030s. Collectively, the 10 blockbusters will address pressing farmer challenges and are poised to contribute significantly to Bayer's growth over the coming decade. Bayer advances industry-leading innovation pipeline Alongside these launches, Bayer advances key projects across its Crop Science R&D pipeline and brings innovation to farmers continuously, introducing 400 to 500 new hybrids and varieties annually. This output is based on Bayer’s AI-enabled precision breeding platform, which doubles the yield improvement rate of every new generation (genetic gain) compared to historical breeding, and accelerates time to market threefold. The company’s researchers have further enhanced this breeding approach through genome editing, which they use at scale by integrating the technology early in breeding processes. One example is genome-edited soy: Higher-yielding soybean varieties can become more susceptible to leaning or falling over as plant height increases. Through genome editing, Bayer is developing soy with improved plant architecture to help address this challenge. Innovations like genome-edited standable soy and the advanced breeding pipeline come together to create new product concepts and value for growers that will come to the market early in the next decade. As another example of its connected R&D engine, Bayer is advancing new biotech traits in concert with its novel crop protection innovation. In early-stage development, the company is working on its sixth-generation herbicide tolerance, which is expected to also include tolerance against its blockbuster herbicide Icafolin. It is the first time the company simultaneously develops a new herbicide molecule and plant trait for tolerance, contributing to a holistic weed-control system that is unique in the industry. Bayer’s AI-powered R&D-CropKey platform is a key differentiator in Crop Protection, enabling the discovery of new modes of action and the design of targeted molecules assessing efficacy, safety, and sustainability at the very start of the R&D process. This has helped create a robust pipeline with more than 15 novel modes of action currently in the pipeline research phase, driven by CropKey. One example is a new broad-spectrum fungicide for soy with blockbuster potential. It is developed using CropKey and now advanced to phase II in the pipeline. “Whether in seeds, traits or crop protection innovation, AI is becoming a core enabler of Bayer’s innovation model, helping us advance discovery, improve development efficiency and translate biological insights into differentiated products for growers faster,” said Mike Graham, Head of Crop Science R&D. “Our advantage is that our teams work from the same biological insights, enabling us to combine expertise across disciplines and accelerate innovation.” Bayer is also using its unique R&D capabilities to expand into adjacent growth areas. With its emergent, but leading portfolio of intermediate biofuel crops, including camelina, winter oilseed rape and CoverCress™, the company contributes to meeting growing demand for biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel markets, estimated to increase almost threefold to 40 billion gallons by 2040. Bayer is also advancing its plans to sell hybrid wheat in Europe and North America by the early 2030s. This unlocks a largely untapped opportunity by bringing the benefits of hybridization to a crop grown on more than 500 million acres worldwide. With hybrid wheat, camelina, winter oilseed rape and CoverCress™, Bayer is entering four new crops at the same time. Bayer on track executing its Five-Year Framework Bayer’s innovation approach is enabled by execution of its Five-Year Framework strategy, which the Crop Science Division announced in 2025 to drive growth, resilience and profitability. The company continues to execute the strategy, and efforts are beginning to deliver tangible results. Bayer has made significant progress on cost reductions, amounting to almost 400 million euros to date, contributing to its EBITDA before special items improvement goal of 1 billion euros and supporting its ambition to achieve an EBITDA margin before special items in the mid-20s percentage range by the end of the decade. Actions included divesting five active ingredients and discontinuing more than 100 crop protection formulations. In addition, cash-flow measures are progressing, with inventory reductions of already 500 million euros, supporting Bayer’s ambition to reach a free operating cash flow of more than 3 billion euros by 2029. The Five-Year Framework’s goal of above-market growth and delivering more than 3.5 billion euros of incremental sales at constant currency through the end of the decade is supported by Bayer’s ongoing innovation delivery as well as strategic business decisions. Key growth drivers include excellent-yielding hybrids launched every year, accelerated technology adoption, market share gains and geographic expansion of proven technologies into Asian and EMEA markets. In the crop protection space, Bayer is pursuing growth through locally focused go-to-market initiatives, redeploying commercial resources to growth products and regions, and lifecycle management measures, like the introduction of Convintro™ in the United States, Brazil and Canada. Bayer’s progress is supported by its Dynamic Shared Ownership operating model, which enables faster decisions and clearer accountability, strengthening the company’s ability to lead in scaling AI-enabled opportunities across the business. “Our innovation strategy and our Five-Year Framework are built on execution,” said Rodrigo Santos. “We are making progress against the commitments we have made, and are set to lead the industry and bring value to our customers and shareholders by delivering differentiating solutions that growers around the world need.” Pictures and additional material can be downloaded here.

During the Reporting Period, the Group’s container manufacturing business achieved growth in both production and sales volume. In particular, the accumulated sales volume of dry containers reached 1.1385 million TEUs, representing a YoY increase of approximately 1.12%; meanwhile, benefiting from the bountiful harvest of fresh fruits in South America and the harvest season in the Northern Hemisphere, sales volume of reefer containers reached 108,200 TEUs, representing a YoY increase of approximately 17.61%. During the Reporting Period, the container segment recorded revenue of RMB21.920 billion, representing a YoY increase of 0.85%, and net profit of RMB272 million, mainly affected by the YoY decline in the price of standard containers and exchange rates. Logistics Services Business: During the Reporting Period, the multimodal transport market environment gradually improved, particularly the container shipping market, where freight rates continued to rise since March. During the Reporting Period, the segment achieved revenue of RMB13.945 billion, representing a YoY increase of 2.70%, and net profit of RMB240 million, representing a YoY increase of 18.81%.

In 2026, CIMC Vehicles continued to extend the production and marketing models of the StarLink Project to more product lines and regions, deepening ecosystem cooperation while improving efficiency and reducing costs. The core production efficiency of the semi-trailer business under the StarLink Project continued to improve, and its domestic market share remained No. 1 for seven consecutive years. In overseas markets, revenue and sales volume in the Global South increased significantly, while gross profit margin remained basically flat due to fluctuations in ocean freight rates; production in the European market recovered, while freight rates and equipment orders in the North American market showed marginal improvement in the second quarter. The market share of core DTB products further increased, with a total of 13,238 truck bodies products products sold. Meanwhile, sales volume of EV-DTB truck bodies products for new energy heavy-duty trucks increased significantly, with deliveries of EV-DTB dump truck and mixer truck truck bodies products continuing to rise. The pure electric tractor and trailer business officially established the world’s first EV-RT offline experience center.

Operating Performance Steadily Improves, Operational Efficiency Continuously Optimised From a profitability perspective, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately RMB64 million during the reporting period, narrowing by 6.7% year-on-year. This improvement was achieved despite a continued increase in R&D investment, which rose 51.2% year-on-year. As the Company is in the strategic investment phase for embodied intelligence, R&D expenses account for nearly half of revenue. The net loss was primarily attributable to increased R&D investment in embodied intelligence and one-off listing-related expenses incurred during the period. In terms of operational efficiency, selling and distribution expenses declined by approximately 5.3% year-on-year alongside revenue expansion, reflecting continuous efficiency gains. While the net loss narrowed year-on-year, trade receivables decreased to approximately RMB510 million, down 13.0% from the end of the previous year, indicating a notable improvement in collection efficiency. Looking at forward revenue visibility, contract liabilities stood at approximately RMB12 million as at the end of the reporting period, up 420% from the beginning of the year. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers for goods or services not yet delivered; these amounts will be progressively recognised as revenue in subsequent accounting periods, providing greater visibility into future revenue.. For technology companies in a strategic investment phase, trends in contract liabilities often better reflect the true trajectory of the business than current-period net profit. Three Business Segments Achieve Synergistic Growth, Customer Ecosystem Continuously Strengthened During the reporting period, all three business segments achieved year-on-year growth with ongoing structural optimisation, demonstrating the core business's sustainable cash-generating capability. The Intelligent Civil Aviation segment generated revenue of approximately RMB3 million, up 319.1% year-on-year, benefiting from enhanced customer stability. The Company maintained its No. 1 market position in China's enterprise vision intelligence product market for civil aviation, with its products deployed in over 60% of China's airports with annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million. Benchmark projects continue to be replicated and iterated. It is worth noting that the civil aviation sector exhibits pronounced seasonal characteristics: due to the annual budget execution cycle of airports and project acceptance timelines, revenue recognition for this segment is typically concentrated in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter. The Smart Commercial segment accelerated the acquisition and servicing of high-value customers, driving growth in average customer value and transaction volume. Revenue reached approximately RMB34 million, up 95.5% year-on-year. The SINHON Business System for commercial spaces is being deployed at an accelerating pace, achieving rapid growth and a more diversified revenue base. The Smart Driving Safety segment generated revenue of approximately RMB66 million, up 41.2% year-on-year. A significant increase in new customer order volumes drove sales expansion. Full-Stack Technology System Evolves, Embodied Intelligence Achieves Multiple Commercialisation Milestones With 14 years of expertise in vision intelligence, Reconova has built an integrated enterprise-grade embodied intelligence core technology framework spanning "perception–cognition–physical execution," and is steadily advancing the large-scale deployment of commercial robot products for productivity-focused scenarios. In terms of concrete progress, the "AntOne" airport baggage handling robot, launched in September 2025, has completed pilot deployment at a major Chinese airport with more than 10 million annual passengers, supporting 24/7 uninterrupted operation. In April 2026, the Company iteratively launched its new VTFLA embodied intelligence technology architecture. Building on the conventional VLA (Vision-Language-Action) framework, VTFLA integrates multi-modal input perception including vision, tactile and force feedback. Its core design philosophy is to process over 80% of intelligence at the edge, employing a dual-system fast-slow coordination architecture that decouples and coordinates task planning with real-time control. The Company plans to further advance R&D in edge-side lightweight embodied intelligence technology, continuously enhancing multi-modal perception and execution capabilities. At the recently concluded 2026 World Robot Conference (WRC), the Company comprehensively presented an embodied intelligence solution for airport productivity scenarios. Through human-machine systems and multi-robot collaborative operations, the solution reshapes traditional manual baggage handling operations, creating a safe, reliable, and flexibly adaptable full-chain intelligent baggage handling system. In addition, the Company has initiated R&D on a wheeled dual-arm robot, expected to be launched in 2027 and commercialised in 2028. Its application scenarios will expand from fixed-position baggage handling to mobile loading and unloading operations under aircraft, and gradually extend to warehousing, industrial automation, and other scenarios. During the conference, the Company also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with SIIC Tech Capital to jointly build the Hong Kong Embodied Intelligence Super Accelerator, advancing industrial commercialisation and international expansion. Globalisation Strategy Fully Launched, Overseas Markets Achieve Multi-Point Breakthroughs For international expansion, the Company adopts a strategy of "expanding from nearby markets to more distant regions," with an initial focus on Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Currently, the Company has launched Proof of Concept (PoC) pilot projects at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, and Tashkent International Airport in Uzbekistan. The rollout follows the principle of "prioritising flagship airports first, then radiating to long-tail customers": the first phase focuses on hub airports in the Middle East and Southeast Asia to establish benchmark cases, before progressively expanding to long-tail customers and subsequently entering European and American markets. The Company is replicating its vision AI and embodied intelligence experience accumulated at domestic airports to global markets that are undergoing large-scale smart airport construction. In terms of partnership models, the Company emphasises local ecosystem collaboration and the export of technology standards, combined with product localisation, adopting an asset-light, deep-collaboration approach. Approximately 10.4% of the IPO net proceeds have been earmarked for expanding overseas sales channels, providing financial support for the globalisation strategy. Strategy Focused on Productivity Scenarios, Long-Term Market Potential Gradually Unlocks The Company adheres to a highly focused and disciplined strategic principle, concentrating on "productivity tools" in handling, depalletizing/palletizing, and specialty scenarios, rather than pursuing broad concepts such as consumer-grade robots or general-purpose humanoid robots. In the short term, the three business segments — Intelligent Civil Aviation, Smart Commercial, and Smart Driving Safety — will continue to generate stable cash flow. Over the medium to long term, leveraging a universal vision intelligence foundation reusable across scenarios, the Company will continuously strengthen its full-stack embodied intelligence core technology framework, iterate multiple categories of commercial robots, and complete a strategic upgrade from vision intelligence solutions to an integrated "perception–cognition–physical execution" enterprise-grade embodied intelligence framework. Embodied intelligence has been included as a key future industry to be cultivated under China's 15th Five-Year Plan. According to Frost & Sullivan forecasts, China's enterprise vision intelligence market will exceed RMB162.7 billion by 2030. As B2B customers' demand for cost reduction and efficiency improvement continues to rise and the technology maturity curve crosses its inflection point, commercial robots are expected to enter a period of accelerated demand growth in productivity scenarios such as airport baggage handling, warehousing logistics, and industrial automation over the next three to five years. Leveraging its 14-year vision intelligence foundation and multi-scenario engineering delivery experience, Reconova is accelerating the deployment of embodied intelligence in real industrial scenarios, completing its transition from vision intelligence to enterprise-grade embodied intelligence, with long-term market potential gradually unlocking.

Premium High-Purity Feedstock: C4V's Green Anode Technology requires natural graphite concentrate of approximately 98% carbon, a demanding feedstock specification that Lac Knife has demonstrated the ability to meet through conventional flotation. Commercialization Potential: Successful technical validation would establish the foundation for definitive commercial agreements involving technology licensing, downstream manufacturing, customer qualification, strategic partnerships and potential offtake opportunities. Advanced Materials Strategy: The collaboration supports Focus's broader strategy to expand beyond resource development into downstream processing, advanced materials and higher-value segments of the North American supply chain. Strengthening Allied Supply Chains: The collaboration combines Canadian graphite resources with American processing technology to support a secure, scalable and more resilient North American battery materials supply chain. OTTAWA, ON, Aug 26, 2026 - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Charge CCCV LLC ("C4V"), a U.S.-based battery technology company, to evaluate graphite concentrate from Focus's 100%-owned Lac Knife Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") in Quebec using C4V's proprietary automated Green Anode Technology ("Green Anode Technology" or the "Technology"). A North American Mine-to-Anode Platform C4V's Green Anode Technology is designed to convert premium natural graphite concentrate directly into finished coated spherical purified graphite ("cSPG") through a highly automated process designed to reduce water and energy consumption, chemical usage and overall process complexity. Compared with conventional processing routes involving multiple upgrading and purification stages, the Technology is intended to provide a cleaner, more efficient pathway from graphite concentrate to finished battery-grade anode material. C4V has successfully demonstrated the Technology at pilot scale. C4V's broader anode-development experience includes a multi-year program focused on developing high-performance active anode materials using high-purity natural graphite feedstock. The technology has demonstrated successful development and qualification pathways for active anode material and previously supported a binding offtake agreement with a globally recognized U.S. electric vehicle ("EV") and battery energy storage manufacturer ("BESS") for U.S.-produced active anode material, subject to specified development, production and customer-qualification conditions. The commercial pathway ultimately did not proceed as contemplated for reasons unrelated to the technical performance of the underlying anode technology. Focus was not a party to that arrangement. C4V's Green Anode Technology requires a high-purity natural graphite concentrate of approximately 98% carbon, a demanding feedstock specification that Lac Knife has demonstrated the ability to meet through conventional flotation alone. Lac Knife's ability to produce high-purity flotation concentrate has been established through the Company's 2023 NI 43-101 Feasibility Study1 and further validated by its recent 8-tonne pilot-scale program2, announced July 28, 2026, which produced concentrate grading up to 98.7% carbon through mechanical processing, without chemical or thermal purification. Lac Knife is one of North America's highest-grade feasibility-stage graphite deposits. The ability to begin downstream processing with a premium, high-purity concentrate has the potential to reduce processing requirements, reagent and energy consumption, shorten processing times and improve overall manufacturing efficiency. Combined with Lac Knife's favourable purification characteristics, this provides a strong starting point for evaluating a cleaner, more efficient and potentially lower-cost pathway to finished anode material. Under the MOU, the parties intend to complete an evaluation Program (the "Program") to assess the technical and commercial suitability of Lac Knife graphite for processing through C4V's Green Anode Technology. The Program will examine processing performance, product consistency and electrochemical characteristics and evaluate whether Lac Knife's feedstock advantages can translate into a cleaner, more efficient and commercially competitive pathway from mine to finished battery-grade anode material, supporting future customer qualification, downstream product development and potential commercialization opportunities. Richard Pearce, P.E., Technical Advisor to Focus Graphite, commented, "The success of any anode manufacturing process begins with the quality of the graphite feedstock. Higher-purity concentrate has the potential to reduce downstream processing requirements, improve manufacturing efficiency and enhance overall product consistency. Lac Knife has demonstrated exceptional concentrate quality through conventional flotation, making it an outstanding candidate for evaluation within C4V's Green Anode Technology." "For years the anode has been the weakest link in the battery supply chain, dependent on foreign processing and heavy chemistry to reach purity," said Dr. Shailesh Upreti, Chief Executive Officer of C4V. "Our Green Anode Technology was built to change that. C4V successfully demonstrated the technology through an earlier natural-graphite development program that advanced through customer qualification and ultimately supported a commercial agreement with a prominent U.S. EV and BESS manufacturer. We are excited to build on that technical foundation with Lac Knife's exceptional graphite concentrate and evaluate a cleaner, more efficient and scalable North American pathway to finished battery-ready anode material." "North America is moving quickly to secure critical mineral supply chains from raw materials through advanced manufacturing," said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. "C4V's previous work has demonstrated the commercial interest that can emerge when high-quality natural graphite is successfully advanced into finished anode material. For Focus, the opportunity is to demonstrate that potential with Lac Knife. If successfully validated, this platform could position us for customer qualification, strategic partnerships and potential offtake while helping build a more secure and competitive North American anode supply chain." Building a Higher-Value Graphite Platform Beyond battery anode production, the collaboration also supports Focus's objective of maximizing value across the graphite processing chain. Graphite fines and other material streams generated during anode production may be evaluated as conductive additives for lithium iron phosphate ("LFP") batteries. Previous testing by Focus and C4V demonstrated that conductive additive material produced from Lac Knife graphite improved LFP cathode electrode density relative to baseline materials, highlighting an additional opportunity to improve resource utilization and support the Company's broader zero-waste development strategy. While the Green Anode Technology evaluation is focused on battery anode materials, it represents one component of Focus's broader advanced materials strategy. In parallel, the Company is advancing a chemical-free electrothermal graphite purification process intended to produce ultra-high-purity graphite for battery, defence, nuclear, aerospace, energy storage and other advanced industrial applications. This effort is being advanced through the Company's up to $14.1 million non-repayable funding agreement under Natural Resources Canada's ("NRCan") Global Partnerships Initiative ("GPI"). If successful, the Program could demonstrate a differentiated Mine-to-Anode pathway that aligns with Canada's "Mine-to-Market" critical minerals strategy by converting premium Canadian graphite into finished battery-grade anode material through a cleaner, lower-cost and scalable North American production process. The collaboration reflects Focus's strategy of evolving from a graphite developer into an integrated advanced materials company participating across the battery value chain. Subject to successful technical validation and the execution of definitive agreements, the Program could provide a foundation for expanded commercial collaboration, including technology licensing, downstream manufacturing, customer qualification, strategic partnerships and potential long-term offtake arrangements. The MOU is non-binding, and any future commercial relationship between Focus and C4V will remain subject to successful completion of the Program, definitive agreements and applicable corporate and regulatory approvals.

While software-based AI can understand information and respond to commands, embodied AI brings intelligence into physical systems that can interact with the real world. Airwheel sees intelligent luggage as a natural extension of this evolution. The SE3SXD combines the functions of a Smart Suitcase, Electric Suitcase, Scooter Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase and Rideable Suitcase, while maintaining the portability and refined appearance expected from premium luggage. Its design philosophy is centered on reducing unnecessary interaction: instead of requiring users to manually assemble or adjust multiple components, the suitcase is designed to transform through a coordinated automated mechanism. With one press of the activation button, the motorized front wheel automatically deploys while the intelligent riding handle rises and locks into position. The transition from conventional luggage to riding mode can be completed within seconds. The concept is simple: one touch, ready to ride. For travelers moving through airports, railway stations, exhibition centers, hotels and other large environments, the system is designed to reduce the physical effort traditionally associated with pulling luggage over long distances. From "Rideable Luggage" to "Intelligent Suitcase" Electric mobility has already changed how people move through cities, but Airwheel believes that simply adding a motor to luggage is not enough. The SE3SXD is designed around a more integrated approach in which mechanical systems, controls and connected software work together. The suitcase can reach a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h and features a motorized front-wheel system designed to enhance stability during riding. Its intelligent handle uses a straightforward control layout, with the right control supporting acceleration and the left control supporting braking. Operating both controls simultaneously enables reverse movement. The goal is to minimize the learning curve and make the transition from traditional luggage to personal mobility intuitive for new users. Behind the mobility system is a reinforced luggage structure. The suitcase uses an ABS+PC composite body combined with an integrated aviation-aluminum frame structure, providing a balance between durability, structural support and premium design. The SE3SXD supports a maximum load of up to 95 kg, according to Airwheel's specifications. This combination allows the product to serve two roles without compromising either: a practical travel suitcase when being pulled or stored, and an electric mobility platform when riding is appropriate. A Smart Suitcase Connected to the Digital Lifestyle The intelligence of the SE3SXD extends beyond its physical transformation. Airwheel has developed a dedicated smart app compatible with major mobile operating systems, including iOS, Android and HarmonyOS. Through the app, users can access key operating information such as riding speed, mileage and remaining battery level. Riding speed can be adjusted within a 0.1–9.9 km/h range, allowing users to adapt the experience to different environments. The connected platform also provides additional functions, including remote control of the suitcase's mechanical deployment, low-battery notifications, Bluetooth disconnection alerts, cruise control and smart remote operation. Personalization is also built into the experience. The SE3SXD features customizable ambient lighting with eight colors and nine lighting effects, allowing users to create different visual combinations while giving the suitcase a distinctive technology-oriented identity. These features reflect Airwheel's broader approach to smart mobility: technology should not simply add functions. It should make the product easier to understand, easier to control and more naturally integrated into everyday life. Apple Find My Adds Another Layer of Connected Travel For international travelers, keeping track of luggage can be just as important as moving it. The SE3SXD supports Apple Find My, enabling users with compatible Apple devices to locate the suitcase through the Find My network. When the suitcase is within a nearby range, users can also activate a sound to help identify its location. In busy airports, railway stations, hotels and exhibition venues, this connected location capability is designed to provide an additional layer of visibility and reassurance. The suitcase also features a USB output interface, allowing travelers to charge compatible mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and wireless earbuds while on the move. Together, these capabilities position the SE3SXD not simply as a piece of luggage, but as a connected travel device that integrates mobility, power and digital management. Premium Design in a Cabin-Ready Form Intelligent technology is only part of the experience. For a product designed for frequent travelers, practical luggage requirements remain fundamental. The SE3SXD adopts a 20-inch Cabin Suitcase format with dimensions of approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm, providing a compact form designed for applicable cabin-travel scenarios. The product uses a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery with a modular structure designed to simplify removal when required for security inspection or transportation. A TSA-compatible combination lock further supports international travel scenarios, while the removable battery architecture provides additional flexibility for transportation and maintenance. The result is a product positioned at the intersection of intelligent mobility and premium luggage—a Luxury Suitcase designed not only around appearance, but also around functionality, connectivity and the changing expectations of modern travelers. Building a Broader Intelligent Luggage Ecosystem The SE3SXD represents the flagship level of Airwheel's intelligent mobility portfolio, but it is part of a broader product strategy. Airwheel's lineup includes models such as the SE3SX Cabin Suitcase,  SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase and SE3SL electric suitcase, which combine rideable mobility, smart app connectivity, Apple Find My support and USB charging. The SE3MiniT focuses on lightweight urban and short-distance travel, while the larger SE3T provides additional capacity for travelers carrying more luggage. For families, Airwheel has also developed the SQ3 and SQ3S children's rideable luggage series, extending intelligent mobility into parent-child travel scenarios. Each product serves a different use case, but they share the same underlying development philosophy: bringing intelligent technology into real travel environments rather than treating AI as a purely digital concept. From Luggage to Mobility Companion The suitcase is undergoing the same transformation as smartphones, cars, and smart homes—evolving from passive gear into an intelligent travel partner. Airwheel’s AI Suitcase goes beyond adding smart features; it reimagines luggage as an active participant in the journey. The SE3SXD combines automated movement, electric propulsion, smart controls, connectivity, portable power, and premium design in one compact platform. It doesn’t just follow—it interacts, adapts, and connects with the traveler’s digital life. For Airwheel, this isn’t about smarter luggage—it’s about smarter travel. About Airwheel Airwheel specializes in intelligent mobility, with over 600 global patents across electric transport, rideable luggage, and connected travel products. Its growing lineup of AI, Smart, Electric, and Rideable Suitcases aims to make travel more efficient, connected, and effortless.

The event organiser has appointed BSD Consultancy Sdn Bhd, with the technical support of its subsidiary Climate Asia, as ISW 2026’s Carbon Partner. Together, they will conduct an independent assessment of the two-day event at MITEC, Kuala Lumpur, covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and selected Scope 3 emissions. As part of the appointment, a Carbon Disclosure Report will be prepared to establish the event's carbon baseline, identify opportunities for future emissions reduction, and explore a potential pathway towards achieving carbon neutral status for the event. Following the completion of the event, the report will be published for broader community access, supporting transparency and knowledge sharing. ISW 2026 will be held from 10 – 11 September 2026, as part of the World Green Building Week. It comprises the 6th International Green Build Conference (IGBC 2026) and GreenScape: International Green Innovation Exhibition. ISW 2026 is organised by Qube Integrated Malaysia Sdn Bhd and co-organised by GreenRE Sdn Bhd, the certification body of REHDA Malaysia. Michelle Lau According to Michelle Lau, Executive Director of Qube Integrated Malaysia and Co-Organising Chair of ISW 2026, the initiative reflects the event’s effort to hold itself to the same standards of transparency and accountability it asks of the wider industry, in line with its central theme, “From Certification to Transformation: Building a Net Zero Future Together.” “As expectations grow for organisations to demonstrate measurable sustainability performance rather than simply articulate climate ambitions, carbon accounting has become an increasingly important tool for driving transparency and informed decision-making. “By applying these same principles to the event itself, ISW 2026 aims to demonstrate how conferences and exhibitions can contribute to the broader transition from sustainability commitments to measurable action,” she said. The assessment will include emissions associated with venue operations, electricity consumption, exhibition activities, selected logistics, waste generation, water consumption and other relevant Scope 3 categories, including visitor-related emissions where applicable, providing a clearer understanding of the event's key emission sources. Delegates can also explore practical approaches to ESG and carbon measurement at a dedicated side session, “Strengthen Your Business Advantage with ESG: Why Every Company Should Start Measuring Now,” hosted by BSD Consultancy and Climate Asia on 11 September, 12.00pm–1.00pm at the Future Trends Hub, Hall 5, Level 2, MITEC. The session will share insights into how businesses can begin understanding their ESG and carbon data, and how this can support business planning and decision-making. The component of IGBC 2026 will feature around 20 local and international speakers addressing key themes in sustainability, green building and the transition to net zero. That same commitment to measurable outcomes extends to the exhibition floor. GreenScape will feature a number of exhibitors spanning green technology, sustainable building materials, construction solutions and real estate development. They include Malaysia Green Building Council (MGBC), Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC), Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia, GreenRE Sdn Bhd and Pahang Aerospace City Development Berhad. Alongside them are Meinhardt EPCM Sdn Bhd, Tropicana Corporation, Hap Seng Land (KL Midtown),DD Techniche Sdn Bhd, Stream Environment Sdn Bhd, API Precast Marketing Sdn Bhd, Alfa Soundscape & Design, and CoolPro, comprising Starken Drymix Sdn Bhd, Starken AAC Sdn Bhd, Ajiya Safety Glass Sdn Bhd and Asia Roofing Industries Sdn Bhd. ISW 2026 is supported by the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). Lead sponsors Starken Drymix Sdn Bhd, Starken AAC Sdn Bhd, Ajiya Safety Glass Sdn Bhd and Asia Roofing Industries Sdn Bhd; and corporate sponsors Beam Society Ltd (Hong Kong) and 1 Utama City Group are joined by supporting partners Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB), MGTC and CIDB Malaysia, strategic partners REHDA Malaysia and REHDA WPKL, official media partner EdgeProp Malaysia, and media partners Exchange Asia, Dailywire.asia and ilifepost.

The company has principal operations in New Zealand and the United States and is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. SunScout commenced concurrent trading on NYSE American and NYSE Texas on August 12, 2026, becoming the first issuer with this combination of domicile and operational footprint to list on both exchanges. The offering was priced at $5.00 per Class A ordinary share, yielding gross proceeds of approximately $15.5 million. Upon closing, the company will have approximately 23.1 million Class A ordinary shares outstanding, implying a market capitalization of roughly $115.5 million based on the offer price. NYSE Texas, launched by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in March 2025 and headquartered in Dallas, currently hosts listed companies with an aggregate market capitalization exceeding $3.9 trillion, positioning it as a significant U.S. capital‑markets hub. The dual listing is expected to enhance SunScout’s brand visibility across the United States, particularly in Texas, where the company is pursuing strategic expansion, while also broadening its investor base. Three‑Pronged Clean‑Tech Portfolio; SunScout Products Emerges as Key Growth Driver As detailed in its prospectus, SunScout designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes autonomous solar‑powered robotic mowers alongside complementary solar‑energy solutions. Its operations are organized into three segments: SunScout Products (autonomous solar-powered robotic mowers and complementary products), solar power development solutions, and engineering products and services under the Brunton Engineering brand, which encompasses clean‑energy hardware and high‑precision manufacturing. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the company reported total revenue of approximately $4.8 million, representing year‑over‑year growth of 93.6%. Solar power development solutions contributed approximately 40.9% of total revenue, while engineering products and services accounted for approximately 31.1%. Revenue from SunScout Products rose to approximately 28.0% of total revenue, up from approximately 18.5% in FY2024, demonstrating strong growth momentum. The prospectus explicitly notes that while solar power development and engineering services currently generate the majority of top‑line revenue, the SunScout Products segment captures long‑term growth opportunities aligned with global market expansion and is positioned as a core growth engine, accelerating the company’s transition toward a higher‑value, product‑driven business model. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global robotic lawn mower market is on a robust growth trajectory, valued at roughly $2.4 billion in 2025 and projected to reach $4.7 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. Robotic mowers still represent a small fraction of the broader lawn‑equipment market, leaving significant room for penetration. Rising labor shortages and escalating lawn‑maintenance costs are fueling demand for automation. Concurrently, regulatory initiatives worldwide to phase out gasoline‑powered outdoor equipment are gaining momentum, accelerating industry electrification. Shifting consumer preferences toward intelligent, convenient solutions are fostering deeper integration of robotic mowers with smart‑home ecosystems and the Internet of Things (IoT), creating substantial headroom for automated electric mowing solutions. Proprietary DSA Technology Enables True Off‑Grid Operation SunScout’s core competitive advantage lies in its proprietary Deployable Solar Array (DSA) technology, which allows its robotic mowers to operate entirely on solar power, achieving genuine off‑grid performance without reliance on electrical outlets. Conventional gasoline‑powered mowers emit carbon emissions, and while existing electric mowers eliminate direct emissions, they remain dependent on fixed charging infrastructure, constraining operational range and flexibility. The DSA mechanism enables solar panels to automatically deploy when stationary, tripling the surface area to maximize solar‑energy capture for onboard battery charging; panels retract during movement to preserve maneuverability. This design supports fully solar‑dependent, zero‑emission autonomous mowing, augmented by autonomous navigation and AI‑powered obstacle avoidance capabilities. According to the company, few competing products can function completely independent of external power sources. This capability unlocks deployments at sites without power outlets or charging facilities—such as golf courses, public parks, and large‑scale green spaces—delivering meaningful advantages for continuous autonomous field operations. Over the longer term, DSA‑based hardware insulates operating costs from electricity‑price inflation and enables rollouts in regions with limited or unreliable grid infrastructure. SunScout also emphasizes that its technology platform is highly adaptable and platform‑agnostic, opening potential applications beyond lawn mowing, including agricultural robotics, onboard solar‑charging systems for electric vehicles, autonomous patrol robots, and other mobile machinery. Three‑Tier Product Lineup and Rapidly Expanding Global Distribution SunScout’s autonomous solar‑powered robotic mower portfolio comprises three modular models: the residential‑grade SunScout Eco, light‑commercial SunScout Pro, and large‑institutional‑focused SunScout ProMax. The modular architecture supports incremental upgrades without extensive redesign, facilitating efficient global deployment across diverse terrain and climate conditions. For example, the entry‑level SunScout Eco integrates high‑efficiency photovoltaic panels into the top housing, converting sunlight to supply all energy required for propulsion, cutting assemblies, and onboard electronics. The unit employs a multi‑sensor suite and AI‑enhanced dual‑camera visual navigation to map work zones, identify lawn boundaries and obstacles, and optimize mowing routes. For larger and more complex sites, RTK satellite navigation is available to deliver centimeter‑level positioning accuracy. On commercial‑channel development, SunScout has established distribution partnerships with Wrissmer Werkstattsysteme GmbH (WWS) in Europe and MowBot Limited in Australia and New Zealand, and is in active discussions regarding potential distribution cooperation with major retailers, including Walmart. Beyond robotic hardware, the company provides end‑to‑end solar power development solutions, including system design, installation, and full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. Through its Brunton Engineering brand, it also offers engineering products and services leveraging nearly 30 years of precision‑fabrication and mechanical‑engineering expertise, and is an accredited supplier to the New Zealand Defence Force. On the manufacturing front, assembly is currently conducted via SunScout Asia in Thailand. The company is advancing the establishment of an assembly and distribution center in Austin, Texas, through its U.S. subsidiary, which will build domestic production capacity and support long‑term North American expansion, aligning with U.S. policy emphasis on domestic robotics and technology supply chains. Recent actions by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricting authorizations for certain foreign‑produced robotic products further underscore the growing importance of domestic manufacturing and supply‑chain resilience. Net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used primarily for: (i) construction of the Austin manufacturing facility; (ii) sales and marketing activities; (iii) product research and development; (iv) inventory procurement; (v) repayment of one loan; (vi) consideration for the acquisition of Brightway Energy LLC; and (vii) general working capital purposes. Against the backdrop of accelerating global clean‑energy transition and continued expansion of the robotic‑mower market, market participants will closely monitor whether SunScout can leverage its proprietary off‑grid solar‑robotics technology to differentiate itself amid intensifying industry competition.
