Jetson AGX Orin is a platform for multi-camera robots, retail systems, and surveillance nodes, and the camera modules attached to it decide how well that compute is used. Two choices matter most. A global shutter exposes every pixel at the same instant, so a moving robot, a passing shopper, or a vehicle appears undistorted. An on-board image signal processor finishes the image inside the module, so the Jetson receives a processed YUV image and its own ISP does not need to be tuned for the sensor.

Different banks first. Across AI-route comparisons, the first-mentioned bank changed. 34%: Business questions bring more banks into the answer. Business-banking responses named 34% more banks on average than consumer-banking answers. Six ASEAN markets: Being mentioned isn’t the same as being named first. The study maps both across Southeast Asian banking. Across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, the study tracks 13 priority banks - and shows why appearing in an AI answer is not the same as being named first. SINGAPORE, Oct 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - PRecious Communications, an award-winning multi-market integrated communications consultancy, today released the regional findings of its flagship research study, the PRecious AI Authority Index: Southeast Asia Banking 2026. The research reveals that a bank prominent in one AI service may be far less visible or entirely absent in another. Across 1,628 eligible matched service comparisons, 706 pairsor 43%, produced a different first-mentioned bank when the tested AI service changed. The research establishes why corporate communications, and marketing leaders cannot rely on a single AI platform, dashboard score, or generic brand search to assess digital reputation. Powered by PRecious Pulse, the agency’s proprietary measurement and research platform, the study evaluated 2,740 response records spanning six Southeast Asian markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam), eight languages, and 11 AI and search service proxies. The index also revealed that decision context significantly impacts competitive density: business-banking answers named 4.73 banks on average, compared with 3.52 for consumer-banking answers, a 34% wider competitive field. "AI has made comparisons instant, but not consistent. Any brand - like banks in our study - can lead one answer and disappear from the next," said Lars Voedisch, Founder and Group CEO of PRecious Communications. "The job for communicators and marketers is not to chase one specific AI engine or manipulate a single metric. It is to build a clear, evidence-backed story across owned content, customer proof, and earned media that holds up regardless of the service, market, or language a buyer uses." Six Markets, Six Distinct AI Competitive Landscapes The study demonstrates that Southeast Asia cannot be treated as a single information environment. While DBS and Maybank demonstrated consistent dominance across tested answers in Singapore and Malaysia respectively, and Vietcombank led across all question groups in Vietnam, markets like Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand showed divided or highly question-dependent results: Indonesia: BCA achieved the highest overall answer presence (86%), but BCA and Bank Mandiri tied on overall first mentions (34%), with leadership shifting based on whether the query addressed personal banking (BCA 63% first) or business banking (Bank Mandiri 56% first). Philippines: BPI led total answer reach across consumer (73%), business (96%), and trust questions (92%), yet BDO dominated first-mention prominence across all four tested question categories (up to 75% in business banking). Thailand: Kasikornbank led consumer banking first mentions (65%), while Bangkok Bank led business banking first mentions (60%). Language testing revealed that English and Thai prompts generated different first-mentioned banks in 60% of eligible matched comparisons (15 of 25 pairs). "In the 'Artificial Intelligence Economy,' executive teams must distinguish between answer presence and first-mention prominence," added Lars. "Being included in an AI response is a baseline requirement; leading the answer requires checkable public proof, consistent corporate reporting, and third-party media validation." Public Proof and Media Verification The Index emphasizes that AI models heavily rely on verifiable public evidence. For brand leaders, priority claims regarding security, digital transformation, or cross-border trade must be explicitly documented and consistent across corporate websites, leadership communications, regulatory filings, and independent earned media. Southeast Asia Is Not One Information Environment The regional study covers Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It found consistent leaders in some markets and divided or question-dependent patterns in others. Different languages, banking structures and customer needs already make Southeast Asia diverse. AI can amplify that diversity by changing the brands, evidence, and answer order shown to different audiences. The study is diagnostic. It does not rank bank quality, trust, safety, customer preference or financial performance. First mention records answer order only. Results are a point-in-time August 2026 snapshot and can change as services, search, and public evidence change. The report is available online: https://pulse.preciouscomms.com/ai-authority-index About the PRecious AI Authority Index - Note to Editors The PRecious AI Authority Index examines what AI says about a brand, which public evidence supports the answer, where the gaps are and what communications teams can change. PRecious Pulse is the measurement, research and insights platform behind the work. Banks tracked (16): 13 priority banks, grouped by home market - Indonesia: BCA and Bank Mandiri; Malaysia: Maybank and CIMB; Philippines: BPI and BDO; Singapore: DBS, OCBC and UOB; Thailand: Kasikornbank and Bangkok Bank; Vietnam: Vietcombank and Techcombank. Plus, three global-bank examples: HSBC, Standard Chartered and Citibank as additional examples from the business-banking analysis. Languages (8): English, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, Tamil and Chinese across the full study. Not every language was tested in every market or on every route. AI test routes (11): ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Search, Copilot, Meta AI, Grok, Qwen, DeepSeek and Kimi. Study timeframe: A point-in-time snapshot of tested AI answers from August to September 2026. Results may change as services, search and public evidence change.

(“Yunji Technology” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 2670.HK) published a voluntary announcement recently. Ms. Zhi Tao, chairwoman of the Board, executive Director and president of the Company, and Mr. Li Quanyin, executive Director and chief executive officer of the Company, have each voluntarily undertaken to extend the lock-up period applicable to the Shares directly held by them to October 15, 2027. Against  intensifying industry competition, market focus increasingly shifts toward companies with long-term sustainability. The decision of core management to extend the lock-up voluntarily at the expiry date fully demonstrates their confidence in the Group’s long-term growth prospects and their commitment to growing alongside the Group. Concurrently with the lock-up undertakings, Yunji Technology also voluntarily disclosed business progress during the nine months ended September 30, 2026: the Group’s robot operations continued to grow steadily, with the products covering over 45,000 hotels on a cumulative basis. The average daily number of concurrently online robots increased by approximately 20% to 25% year-on-year, while the number of tasks completed during the period rose by approximately 25% to 30%. The newly launched noodle-cooking robot has been included in the new-opening procurement list of a major hotel group customer, extending in-stay services into dining. At the same time, as a supplier of core mobility technology and modules, Yunji Technology is extending its reach into healthcare, manufacturing and property services through ecosystem partners’ products. Deliveries are underway on the Group’s 1,000-robot order under the cooperation with Ye Niao. Meanwhile, the Runyi project involves an order for 100 robots, with deployment across multiple hospitals now underway. As the robot network expands, penetration of the HDOS AI agent assistant into hotels’ daily operations has further deepened. In the first nine months of 2026, total HDOS subscribers exceeded 5,000, up approximately 230% year-on-year, while the number of paying subscribers increased by approximately 220%. The announcement states these day-to-day improvements in service efficiency and quality support further integration of HDOS into hotels’ workflows, with subscriptions and renewals generating recurring service revenue for the Group. In the AI agent ecosystem, the related services cover approximately 400 apartment properties, with the busiest property handling approximately 650 orders per day. Recently, Yunji Technology has signed strategic cooperation agreements with Taobao Instant Commerce and Meituan to connect platform orders to its robot delivery network, rapidly expanding its service coverage. In overseas markets, Yunji Technology continues to expand the distributor network and has recently entered Central Asia and Norway. It expects to sign robot sales orders with distributors in Norway, Greece, Germany and France within the next month, broadening the European sales network. By voluntarily extending the lock-up period, the core managements have closely aligned the interests of management with the Company’s long-term operating performance. Together with the steady expansion of the multiple business lines, Yunji Technology’s commercial closed loop continues to improve. Building on the mobile robotics technology accumulated in hotel scenarios, the Group keeps extending the boundaries of the services and unlocking the potential of AI agents. In the future, it is well positioned to further consolidate the core competitive strengths and open up room for long-term growth. About Beijing Yunji Technology Co., Ltd.

The first phase of the 140th Canton Fair has come to an end, but one of the products featured at Airwheel's booth continues to generate conversation among international buyers: a suitcase that can actually be ridden. The response was immediate. International buyers gathered around the Airwheel booth to see the products, ask questions and, most importantly, experience them for themselves. One after another, visitors stepped onto the electric suitcases and rode through the exhibition area. Soon, Airwheel rideable luxury suitcases became a familiar sight across the venue, with buyers riding between exhibition areas and returning to the booth to explore product specifications and potential business opportunities. A suitcase that moves with you is no longer a concept. At Airwheel, it is a product experience. From “Carry-On” to “Ride-On” Traditional luggage is designed around a simple relationship: the traveler moves, and the suitcase follows. Airwheel is challenging that relationship. Its Luxury Cabin Suitcase combines the storage functionality of a compact travel case with an integrated electric mobility system, allowing users to switch between conventional luggage handling. For travelers moving through large airports, exhibition centers, transportation hubs and other spacious environments, the concept is straightforward: Instead of always pulling your suitcase, ride it when the journey calls for it. The idea proved particularly compelling at the Canton Fair, where buyers routinely travel long distances between exhibition halls, booths and meeting areas. On selected Airwheel models, the riding mechanism can be deployed with an intuitive control system, allowing the suitcase to transition from luggage to personal mobility device within seconds. The result is a distinctly different travel experience. The suitcase is no longer simply something being carried. It becomes part of the way you move. A Product That Turns Curiosity Into Business Conversations Airwheel's product demonstrations at the Canton Fair was driven not only by its unusual appearance, but by the ability of visitors to experience the technology directly. Buyers could sit on the suitcase, test the riding controls, examine the structure and evaluate the combination of luggage storage and electric mobility firsthand. That physical interaction quickly moved beyond curiosity. Airwheel's exhibition team engaged with international buyers on topics including bulk purchasing, product certifications, delivery schedules, distribution models, market positioning and product portfolios. For distributors and retailers, the attraction is clear. Rideable smart luggage offers a differentiated category that sits at the intersection of travel gear, personal mobility and consumer technology. It creates a product experience that traditional luggage cannot easily replicate while giving retail and distribution partners a new way to engage consumers. The Canton Fair experience demonstrated the value of that approach: visitors did not need a lengthy explanation to understand the concept. They could simply get on and ride. 73.26Wh Removable Battery Designed for Carry-On Travel The technology behind Airwheel's Luxury Cabin Suitcase extends far beyond its electric drive system. The 73.26Wh removable lithium battery is designed around the requirements of modern air travel. Airwheel states that the battery meets global airline standards, with a removable architecture that allows it to be taken out of the suitcase when required. For the SE3SX, Airwheel's 20-inch smart electric suitcase is specifically positioned as a cabin-size carry-on product, with the company stating that it meets international airline carry-on standards. The removable battery architecture also facilitates security inspection and battery handling during travel. The battery solution is supported by relevant safety certification, while the 20-inch cabin-size form factor is designed to integrate electric mobility into a travel format familiar to international travelers. This creates an important distinction. Airwheel is not simply building an electric vehicle that happens to look like luggage. It is engineering a travel product around the requirements of luggage first, while integrating personal mobility into the same architecture. The SE3SX, for example, combines a 73.26Wh battery, 20-inch carry-on format, 6.6kg overall weight, 95kg maximum load and a top speed of 9.9km/h. It also supports Apple Find My and Airwheel's smart app ecosystem. Smart Features Built Into the Travel Experience Electric mobility is only one part of the Airwheel experience. Depending on the model, the Luxury Cabin Suitcase portfolio incorporates technologies including TSA-compatible locks, USB charging, Airwheel smart APP connectivity, Apple Find My support and dynamic RGB lighting. The objective is not to add technology simply for the sake of technology. Each feature is intended to address a familiar part of the travel experience. The smart APP provides connected control functions, while Apple Find My support gives users another way to keep track of their luggage. TSA-compatible locking supports international travel scenarios, while USB charging turns the suitcase into an additional source of mobile power. On the SE3SX, Airwheel has also integrated a smart handle that brings key riding controls into the handlebar architecture, combining acceleration, braking and reverse functions into a compact interface. The design philosophy is therefore less about creating a “smart gadget” and more about creating a smart piece of travel equipment. Engineering Meets Luxury Luggage Design The engineering challenge behind a rideable suitcase is significant. A conventional suitcase needs to maximize internal storage while remaining lightweight, durable and easy to transport. An electric suitcase adds an entirely different set of requirements: motors, batteries, structural reinforcement, control systems, wheels and mechanical components must all coexist within a compact luggage architecture. Airwheel approaches this challenge through the integration of electric drive technology, structural engineering, intelligent controls and premium luggage design. The SE3SX uses an enhanced aluminum-magnesium alloy frame combined with an ABS+PC composite shell, balancing strength with weight. The product supports a maximum load of 95kg while maintaining a compact 20-inch cabin-size form. The result is a product that does not simply look futuristic. Its technology is built into the physical architecture of the suitcase. The intelligence is in the structure. The mobility is in the design. And the technology is designed to disappear into the experience. International Design Recognition Beyond the Ride The attention Airwheel received at the Canton Fair is part of a broader design and innovation story. Airwheel's smart rideable luggage portfolio has received recognition from a wide range of international design programs, including the Berlin Design Awards Gold, European Product Design Award (EPDA), MUSE Design Awards, London Design Awards, NY Product Design Awards, Asian Design Awards, Japan IDPA Awards, WGA Wonder Global Design Awards and iLuxury Design Awards, among others. Airwheel's official product platform also highlights international design recognition across models including the SE3 series and SE3MiniT, with awards associated with programs in Europe, the United States and Asia. For Airwheel, these awards represent more than visual design. A rideable suitcase requires designers and engineers to rethink the relationship between form, function and movement. How can a motor be integrated without compromising luggage space? How can a riding mechanism remain compact when the suitcase is used as conventional luggage? How can a premium exterior accommodate sophisticated electronics and mechanical components? And perhaps most importantly: How can technology change the experience of travel without making the product feel complicated? These are the design questions behind the evolution of Airwheel's smart luggage. 600+ Global Patents and Trademarks in 168+ Countries and Regions Behind the product portfolio is an international intellectual property foundation developed over more than a decade of smart mobility research and product development. Airwheel has established a portfolio of more than 600 global patents, while its trademark registrations extend across more than 168 countries and regions. For international business partners, this intellectual property foundation provides an important indicator of Airwheel's long-term commitment to technology, product development and global market expansion. The combination of patents, international trademarks, design awards and an established product portfolio gives Airwheel a broader foundation for cooperation with distributors, retailers, travel retailers and mobility-focused partners. Rather than building its international business around a single product, Airwheel is developing a broader smart mobility ecosystem. A Complete Luxury Cabin Suitcase Portfolio The Canton Fair presentation also demonstrated that Airwheel's strategy extends well beyond a single flagship model. The SE3SX , SE3SL and SE3SXD form key parts of the Luxury Cabin Suitcase portfolio, offering different approaches to intelligent riding, portability and connected travel. The SE3SX Cabin Suitcase focuses on premium smart electric mobility in a compact 20-inch cabin format, combining riding functionality, smart APP connectivity and Apple Find My support. The SE3SL+ Airport Boarding Suitcase emphasizes lightweight design and everyday usability, balancing rideability, portability and travel convenience. The SE3S and SE3SL Smart Carry-on Suitcase further expand the range for mainstream smart travel markets. Airwheel also presented products designed for more specific travel and mobility scenarios. The SE3MiniT hand suitcase focuses on a compact form factor for lighter travel and short-distance mobility. The SE3T brings a larger-capacity format for travelers who need greater storage for longer journeys and family travel. The SQ3 and SQ3S kids suitcase extend the rideable luggage concept into children's travel, combining mobility, practicality and a more engaging travel experience. Together, these models form a broader product ecosystem spanning premium cabin luggage, everyday travel, larger-capacity mobility and family-oriented products. For international distributors and retailers, that creates greater flexibility in building a localized product portfolio around different consumer segments and market requirements. The Next Evolution of Smart Travel The first phase of the 140th Canton Fair offered Airwheel an opportunity to demonstrate its products directly to global buyers. The demonstrations allowed visitors to see the riding function firsthand. Visitors saw the product. They sat on it. They rode it. And many stayed to discuss what it could mean for their markets. That sequence—from discovery to experience to business conversation—captures the core of Airwheel's approach to smart travel. The company is not simply putting a motor into a suitcase. It is exploring what happens when luggage becomes mobility. When mobility becomes intelligent. And when technology becomes an integrated part of the travel experience. The result is a new category of travel equipment designed for a generation of travelers who expect their everyday products to do more. A suitcase that carries your belongings. A mobility device that carries you. A connected travel companion that moves with you. That is the direction Airwheel is taking with its Luxury Cabin Suitcase. Airwheel Continues at Canton Fair Phase Two and Phase Three The first phase of the 140th Canton Fair may have concluded, but Airwheel's presence at the event continues. The brand will participate in the second and third phases, providing international distributors, retailers, sourcing professionals and potential business partners with further opportunities to experience the Luxury Cabin Suitcase portfolio firsthand. Phase Two October 23–27, 2026 Airwheel Booth: 20.2F19-20 Phase Three October 31–November 4, 2026 Airwheel Booths: 18.1K04, 20.2J37-38 and 20.2K11-12 For buyers looking for differentiated smart travel products, the upcoming exhibition phases provide an opportunity to explore the full Airwheel portfolio, experience the rideable luggage firsthand and discuss potential distribution and sourcing opportunities directly with the brand. The first phase showed how quickly a new form of luggage can capture attention. The next two phases will bring that experience to even more global buyers. Airwheel is not waiting for the future of travel. It is building it—one smart suitcase at a time.

(NASDAQ: SNES), the leader in rodent birth control and sustainable rodent population management, today announced preliminary revenue results for the third quarter of 2026. The Company plans to release its definitive third quarter financial results the week of November 9, 2026. Preliminary third quarter 2026 revenue was approximately $1.1 million, representing approximately 40% growth compared with the second quarter of 2026 and approximately 55% growth compared with the third quarter of 2025. It was also the Company’s first quarter at or above the $1 million revenue threshold, a key milestone. The Company expects its definitive third quarter financial results to reflect continued momentum in e-commerce, including higher subscription revenue, which is expanding the recurring component of SenesTech’s revenue base, as well as increasing traction in B2B. “Our preliminary third quarter revenue marks an important milestone for SenesTech, reaching the $1 million threshold for the first time and setting a second consecutive quarterly record,” said Michael Edell, Chief Executive Officer of SenesTech. “This is another quarter demonstrating progress on the plans and strategies we have previously announced, and our full third quarter financial results are expected to reflect that progress across the commercial model we have been building. E-commerce continues to scale as a controllable, data-driven acquisition engine, our vertical-focused B2B organization is gaining traction, and higher subscription revenue is expanding our recurring revenue base and improving the quality and visibility of revenue.” “We still have work to do, but we believe this is a clear indication that we are on the right path. We continue to lay the foundation for a much larger company in the future by working to expand e-commerce and B2B significantly in a cost-effective manner. With many of the investments and transition costs incurred earlier in the year increasingly behind us, coupled with strong revenue growth and improved unit economics, we expect continued, improved metrics going forward,” Edell concluded. The preliminary third quarter 2026 revenue presented in this release is unaudited, preliminary and subject to adjustment, and remains subject to completion of the Company’s quarter-end closing procedures.

In the past, creating product main images required close coordination among graphic designers, models, and photo studios. Today, with the support of “Dabi AI” from Boundary Consulting, a subsidiary of Huitongda Network, virtual model try-on effects can be generated with one click, increasing the efficiency of new product launches by 5 to 10 times with sales in its e-commerce business increasing by more than 50%. Starting with empowering lower-tier retail, Huitongda has consolidated its core foundation of township mom-and-pop stores while extending its comprehensive “AI + Retail” capabilities into online e-commerce scenarios. With the continuous penetration of e-commerce merchants into Huitongda's customer ecosystem, new growth opportunities driven by the implementation of AI applications are gradually emerging. Integrating Capabilities: Synergies Between Member Stores and E-commerce Resources The new achievement of Huitongda’s “AI + Retail” dual-drive lies in a successful capability grafting. Last November, Huitongda completed the acquisition of a 57% stake in Boundary Consulting, a leading e-commerce AI company. With 15 years of experience in the e-commerce sector, Boundary Consulting has developed the “Dabi AI” platform for e-commerce merchants. The platform integrates product analysis, competitor research, visual content generation, asset management and automated tasks, helping e-commerce teams carry out business analysis, content production and task execution within a unified platform. This integration also creates synergies in both directions. Having deeply cultivated the lower-tier market for over a decade and serving more than 250,000 township member stores, Huitongda Network has accumulated authentic transaction data, short-chain supply chains, and retail scenario experience. What Boundary Consulting contributes, on the other hand, consists of e-commerce-side AI application services, customer resources, and operational expertise. By connecting the two businesses, the retail capabilities developed through serving member stores expand the growth potential of the e-commerce business, while the algorithms and content creation capabilities developed on the e-commerce side, in turn, enhance offline store operations. The same AI capabilities can be applied across different customer groups and retail scenarios, reducing marginal costs while accumulating more scenario-specific data and creating a compounding effect. This is what fundamentally distinguishes Huitongda’s dual-engine “AI + Retail” strategy from standalone AI products. Building a Competitive Moat Through End-to-End Integration From the perspective of its product matrix, Huitongda’s AI matrix is no longer a collection of isolated tools, but an integrated network connecting online and offline channels as well as the end-to-end supply chain. On the e-commerce side, “Dabi AI” serves e-commerce merchants; on the offline store side, “Qiancheng Cloud AI” and the Qiancheng AI Super Store Manager, the latter integrating more than 24 scenario-based intelligent agents, continue to provide technological capabilities to physical retail stores; on the enterprise service side, “LeapoAI” integrates over 100 specialised features to serve brand owners and factories. Underpinning these three business segments is Huitongda’s intelligent supply chain system, supported by years of experience in providing integrated operational services to retail customers. This system connects upstream supply chain partners and brand manufacturers with downstream retail stores, FMCG retail chains and e-commerce merchants, creating a closed-loop flow of commercial activities, data and AI capabilities across the value chain. In the first half of 2026, Huitongda’s AI-related revenue exceeded RMB 78.91 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 32.3% and accounting for more than 70% of its full-year AI-related revenue in 2025. These results demonstrate customer willingness to pay and progress in the commercial adoption of AI applications. For Huitongda, the value of this network extends far beyond tool-level revenue. Scenario density, depth of data, and fulfillment capabilities mutually reinforce one another—the denser the scenarios, the more authentic the data, the faster the model iteration, and the lower the unit customer acquisition and service costs. This barrier, built upon real transactions and offline fulfillment, represents a core asset that general large models can hardly acquire and is difficult to replicate in the short term. Looking at the retail sector in the AI era, what the industry truly lacks is not general models, but professional enablers capable of embedding AI capabilities into real business scenarios and continuously generating scale benefits. Driven by the “AI + Retail” strategy, Huitongda is connecting offline member stores and online e-commerce merchants, leading the retail industry toward a comprehensive AI-driven upgrade.

Drawing on Oritain’s supplier intelligence* across key global manufacturing hubs, the report offers a unique view into how suppliers are responding to growing regulatory scrutiny, customer expectations and sourcing pressures. The findings challenge a common industry assumption: suppliers are not resisting transparency. Instead, they are actively investing in traceability, seeking stronger collaboration and looking for credible ways to demonstrate trust. The report suggests the industry is entering a new phase of supply chain integrity. While traceability has become increasingly established, the next challenge is ensuring supply chain claims can be supported by independent evidence. As brands, retailers and manufacturers face greater scrutiny from regulators, investors and consumers alike, the ability to substantiate provenance and sourcing claims is becoming a critical business capability. The research draws on supplier insights from key manufacturing markets, complementing findings from the 2026 Global Supply Chain Intelligence Report, which examined sourcing risk, enforcement trends and consumer trust across global supply chains, by shining a light on the evolving priorities, challenges and opportunities facing suppliers themselves. From Traceability to Trust: The Rise of Verified Supply Chain Ecosystems The Supplier Intelligence Report highlights a significant shift in supplier attitudes towards transparency and verification. Nearly 80% of suppliers surveyed already operate some form of traceability solution, while 75% are open to adopting new traceability technologies. More significantly, 77% expressed interest in participating in origin verification initiatives, highlighting growing recognition that transparency alone is no longer enough to build trust in today's supply chain environment. "The findings tell a different story than many people expect," said Gemma Lynch, Chief Customer Officer at Oritain. "Suppliers are not pushing back against transparency. They are actively looking for ways to participate in a more trusted supply chain ecosystem. The challenge is no longer willingness to engage. The challenge is ensuring claims can be substantiated with credible evidence when questions arise." Key Insights from Oritain's Supplier Intelligence Report Collaboration is Emerging as a Competitive Advantage: 77% of suppliers surveyed expressed interest in collaborating on origin verification initiatives, signalling growing momentum towards shared responsibility across supply chains. Transparency is Becoming a Business Imperative: More than 85% of suppliers describe supply chain transparency as important or very important to their business, reinforcing that transparency is now a core commercial consideration rather than a niche sustainability issue. Traceability Adoption Has Accelerated: Nearly 80% of suppliers already use traceability solutions, while 75% remain open to adopting new technologies, demonstrating continued investment across the sector. Customer and Consumer Expectations Are Driving Change: 81% of suppliers identified consumer demand as a key driver of transparency efforts, while retailer and customer requirements continue to shape investment decisions. Leadership Engagement is Growing: 73% per cent of suppliers involve executive leadership in traceability and transparency decisions, suggesting these issues are increasingly viewed as strategic priorities. Verification is the Next Frontier: As traceability becomes increasingly common, suppliers are seeking more credible ways to validate sourcing claims and differentiate themselves in competitive markets. Building the Future Through Connected Networks The report arrives shortly after Oritain announced significant enhancements to its Membership program, creating a stronger framework for collaboration between brands, suppliers and manufacturers. Combining forensic origin verification, supply chain intelligence and a growing network of verified participants, Oritain Membership is designed to help organisations move beyond isolated compliance towards a more connected ecosystem built on trust, transparency and evidence. "The future of supply chain integrity will not be built by organisations operating in isolation," said Lynch. "It will be built through networks of buyers and suppliers working from a shared foundation of trusted data, independent verification and actionable intelligence. As expectations continue to rise, organisations need more than visibility into their supply chains. They need confidence in the information they are using to make decisions. Our role is to provide the science, intelligence and verification that help make that possible." * The research surveyed 122 senior decision-makers, primarily at director level or above, across 10 markets (China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Türkiye, Vietnam, Singapore, Bangladesh and Pakistan), with 80% of respondents having more than four years of industry experience.

Across the exhibition, Airwheel will present its latest product innovations, engineering capabilities and expanding portfolio to international distributors, retailers and business partners seeking differentiated solutions for the evolving travel market. As travel increasingly intersects with connected technology and personal mobility, Airwheel is exploring a new role for luggage: moving beyond storage to become an active part of the travel experience. Through electric riding systems, intelligent controls and user-oriented industrial design, the company aims to make everyday journeys more convenient while creating new possibilities for the traditional luggage category. SE3SXD: A New Approach to the Smart Cabin Luxury Suitcase At the center of Airwheel's exhibition lineup is the SE3SXD AI Smart Electric Suitcase, a flagship model that combines luggage storage, electric riding and connected features in a single product. Designed around the idea of making technology more intuitive, the SE3SXD features a one-touch dual-drive automatic telescopic mechanism. Its powered front-wheel structure and linked smart handle are designed to extend and lock into riding position through a coordinated operation, reducing the need for multiple manual adjustments when switching from luggage mode to riding mode. The SE3SXD integrates electric mobility with smart connectivity. Through its dedicated app, users can access riding-related information and control functions, while Apple Find My support provides an additional way to locate the suitcase using compatible Apple devices. A USB output offers added convenience for charging compatible personal electronics. The model reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h, supports a maximum load of 95 kg and provides approximately 20 liters of storage capacity. It uses a removable 73.26Wh lithium battery, and its compact format is designed with modern carry-on travel in mind. Rather than adding technology for its own sake, Airwheel's approach focuses on integrating mechanical engineering, intelligent interaction and practical travel functions into one cohesive product experience. A Broader Portfolio for Different Travel Needs The SE3SXD is part of a wider Airwheel smart rideable luggage portfolio developed for different users, travel scenarios and retail segments. The SE3SX offers a premium smart electric cabin suitcase experience, combining electric riding, app connectivity and Apple Find My support in a compact format. The SE3SL+ Boarding Suitcase emphasizes lightweight construction and everyday travel convenience, while the established SE3S and SE3SL Scooter suitcase models bring electric riding functionality to the familiar suitcase form. For travelers seeking a more compact option, the SE3MiniT Hand Suitcase offers a smaller rideable luggage format. The SE3T provides a larger-capacity solution for family and extended travel scenarios, while the SQ3 and SQ3S Kids suitcase series bring rideable luggage concepts to family-oriented and younger-user applications. Together, these products reflect Airwheel's strategy of developing a portfolio rather than relying on a single flagship model. For international buyers, the range creates opportunities to evaluate different product configurations and identify solutions that match local consumer preferences, retail positioning and distribution strategies. Engineering Innovation Backed by Global Intellectual Property Airwheel's product development is supported by continued investment in research and development. The company reports more than 600 patents globally, covering areas including electric drive systems, motion control, intelligent sensing, structural engineering and human-machine interaction. These technologies support the development of integrated smart mobility products in which mechanical structures, electronic controls and user interfaces work together. In rideable luggage, this requires more than adding a motor to a suitcase: it involves coordinating the riding mechanism, handling characteristics, control systems and conventional luggage functions within a compact product. Airwheel's broader intellectual property strategy also includes trademarks registered in more than 168 countries and regions, supporting its international brand development and market presence. For Airwheel, intellectual property represents both an engineering foundation and a long-term commitment to product differentiation in an increasingly competitive global market. International Design Recognition and Premium Market Development Design is another important part of Airwheel's product strategy. The company's smart rideable luggage portfolio has received more than 100 international design awards, according to Airwheel, with recognition spanning design programs and markets in the United States, Europe, Japan, Italy, Germany and France. Among the recognized programs are the German iF Design Award, the U.S. International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), the MUSE Design Awards, the Berlin Design Awards, the European Product Design Awards and other international design competitions. Different products have received different honors over time, reflecting the portfolio's continued development across form, functionality and user experience. For Airwheel, design is not limited to exterior appearance. It also involves the relationship between the suitcase's structure, riding mechanism, portability, controls and the way users interact with the product during a journey. The company is also expanding its presence in premium retail environments and established retail channels. Its products have entered selected high-end shopping malls and retail networks, while models including the SE3SL+ and SE3ST have gained placement in Sam's Club in China. These channel developments provide additional opportunities for consumers to experience smart rideable luggage in physical retail settings and for the brand to broaden its reach beyond online sales. Airwheel's strategy combines product innovation, international design recognition and retail development to build a more differentiated position in the smart travel market. Meet Airwheel at the 140th Canton Fair The 140th Canton Fair provides an opportunity for Airwheel to connect directly with international importers, distributors, luggage retailers, travel-related businesses and potential regional partners. Visitors will be able to explore Airwheel's smart electric luggage portfolio, learn about product functions and configurations, and discuss distribution opportunities and potential cooperation with the company.

Battery-powered sensors spend most of their lives waiting, and the host processor is usually the largest consumer of energy while it waits. A low-power MIPI Camera Module that can watch for motion by itself lets the processor sleep until something actually happens. Dynamic range matters at the same moment, because a device watching a scene with bright sky and deep shadow must notice motion in either region. Monochrome adds sensitivity and lighter processing, since no color filter array sits over the pixels.

The inaugural Challenge in 2025 was open to students only. This year’s edition adds an Open Category for the public while retaining the Student Category. Participants in both categories will research and manage virtual portfolios of eligible Singapore-listed securities, with a focus on Singapore’s small- and mid-cap (“SMID”) segment. The trading simulation does not involve real capital. The Challenge comes as interest in Singapore’s SMID segment grows. As of 30 June 2026, institutional net buying in SMID stocks had tripled year on year to S$606 million, while daily trading value rose 155% to S$310 million, its highest level since FY2014(2). The Challenge gives participants a structured and practical way to learn more about companies beyond the Straits Times Index. Open Category Open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 18 and above, the Open Category will run from 7 December 2026 to 29 January 2027 over an eight-week online trading period. Participants compete individually, constructing and managing portfolios from an eligible list of Singapore-listed securities. They will be ranked in real time on a leaderboard based on total portfolio return, with cash prizes of S$3,000, S$2,000 and S$1,000 for the top three participants. Student Category The Student Category returns for its second year and is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 18 and above who are enrolled full-time in polytechnics or universities. Participants compete in teams of four in the same eight-week simulation, using eligible Singapore-listed securities focused primarily on the SMID segment. The top six teams from the qualifying round will advance to an in-person stock-pitch final, where they will present their research and investment thesis to a judging panel. The top three teams will receive cash prizes of S$10,000, S$5,000 and S$3,000. The category is designed to connect classroom learning with practical exposure to investing, industry practitioners and potential 8-month internship opportunities, through the Fullerton Singapore Value-Up Internship Programme. Building disciplined investment habits The Challenge is designed to encourage disciplined portfolio construction rather than concentrated bets. Participants must establish positions within the first five trading days. From 14 December 2026, portfolios must maintain at least 80% exposure to eligible securities at the end of each trading day, with cash holdings capped at 20%. When initiating or adding to a position, exposure to any individual eligible security must not exceed 10% of the portfolio’s total value. Each portfolio may hold no more than 30 eligible securities; leverage, margin and derivatives are not permitted. Through the Challenge, participants will be able to: Gain first-hand experience in researching and evaluating Singapore-listed companies. Develop practical habits around portfolio construction, risk management and investment decision-making. Build a stronger understanding of opportunities available within Singapore’s equities market beyond the benchmark index. Ken Goh, Chief Investment Officer, Fullerton Fund Management, said:  “Over the past year, we have seen growing interest in Singapore equities, reflecting broader recognition of the depth and diversity of our domestic market. The objective of the Fullerton/SGX Value-Up Singapore Equities Challenge is to motivate participants to identify and capture rising shareholder value, by encouraging young investors and members of the public to research companies, assess their potential and construct portfolios with greater discipline. The Challenge also supports our broader commitment to talent development. Participants from the inaugural Challenge have since joined Fullerton as interns, demonstrating how practical exposure can help inspire and nurture the next generation of investment professionals. Through this Challenge, we hope to contribute to a more informed and engaged Singapore equities market, with a broader base of investors participating in its long-term development.” Ng Yao Loong, Head of Global Financial Markets, SGX Group, said: “In every market, there is a difference between what is well known and what is well understood. The Fullerton/SGX Value-Up Singapore Equities Challenge encourages participants to close that gap by researching the SMID segment, testing their assumptions and forming their own investment perspectives. By opening the Challenge to the public, we hope more people will discover the breadth of the Singapore stock market and deepen their understanding of the businesses behind it.” Jeyson Ng, CEO, Moomoo Singapore said: “We are pleased to support Fullerton and SGX, both of whom are Moomoo’s long-term strategic partners in the Singapore ecosystem, in making investing education more accessible to students and the wider public. Through practical learning resources on Singapore equities, company research and portfolio construction within the Moomoo app, we hope to help participants build the confidence and foundational skills to better understand the market. The Challenge also provides a meaningful platform for us to engage aspiring talent and nurture the next generation of finance and technology professionals.” Registration for both categories is open until 30 November 2026. A participant may register for either the Student Category or the Open Category (provided that it meets the relevant eligibility requirements), but not both.

Following the brand’s recent development agreement in the Maldives, the partnership builds on momentum across the region and reinforces TGI Fridays' strategy of expanding its global footprint through long-term franchise partnerships. The agreement marks an important milestone in TGI Fridays' continued international expansion and further strengthens the brand's presence across South Asia and the Middle East, as it accelerates toward its 1-2-3 Strategic Vision of 1,000+ restaurants and $2 billion in annual revenue by 2030. With more than 240 million people and a median age of just 21, Pakistan offers TGI Fridays a compelling combination of scale, youth and long-term growth potential. Rapid urbanization, continued investment in malls and mixed-use destinations, and an evolving dining culture are creating new opportunities for international restaurant brands as consumers increasingly seek distinctive, experience-led dining. Through its partnership with Meerab Hospitality, TGI Fridays is positioned to capture that opportunity with a brand guests already recognize, bringing its signature combination of bold American flavors, legendary mocktails, high-energy atmosphere and unmistakable Fridays hospitality to one of South Asia’s most dynamic consumer markets. Meerab Hospitality brings deep regional expertise and operating strength to the partnership. As the franchise and development arm of Meerab Properties, the company combines a two-decade track record across the Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia with extensive international hospitality experience. Together, TGI Fridays and Meerab Hospitality are well positioned to capture Pakistan’s appetite for international dining experiences, while creating new employment opportunities, investing in local hospitality talent and bringing the unmistakable Fridays spirit to a new generation. "We don't enter a market like Pakistan because it's on a list - we enter it because the fundamentals are right and the partner is right," said Phil Broad, Global President, TGI Fridays™. "Pakistan has one of the youngest populations anywhere in the world and a retail landscape that's evolving fast. Meerab Hospitality understands that better than an outside operator could, and their hospitality background means they know how to run a room, not just build one. That's the combination we look for. "What makes Pakistan particularly exciting is the energy of the market and the generation coming through. They're connected, curious and looking for brands that give them more than just a meal. That plays directly to the strength of TGI Fridays. We've always been at our best when we bring people together, create a little theatre and give guests a reason to stay longer, celebrate louder and come back again. Pakistan gives us an exciting new stage to do exactly that." Pervaiz Iqbal Shahid, Founder and Group CEO, Meerab Properties, said: "We are delighted to bring TGI Fridays back to Pakistan and to begin a new chapter for this iconic global brand in the country. Our ambition is to reintroduce the brand through an energized and well-capitalized platform, supported by strong operational leadership and a long-term commitment to responsible growth across Pakistan. "Our first flagship restaurant is targeted to open within the next 12 months at the prestigious Hyatt Regency Hotel complex in Lahore. This will provide an exceptional launch platform for the brand and establish the standard for the restaurants that follow. "Over the next decade, we look forward to developing TGI Fridays across Pakistan through a carefully considered combination of company-owned and approved sub-franchised restaurants. We are committed to protecting the strength of the brand, delivering an outstanding guest experience, and building a sustainable nationwide business together with the TGI Fridays team." The agreement is TGI Fridays' second market signing in last 30 days, following its first-ever entry into the Balkans, and builds on international agreements spanning Kenya, the Maldives, Peru, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Greece and Spain. Together, these agreements have added close to 200 restaurants to TGI Fridays' global pipeline as the brand advances toward its 1-2-3 Strategic Vision of 1,000+ restaurants worldwide by 2030. At the heart of that growth is a deliberate franchise strategy: entering high-potential markets with partners who bring the local knowledge, capability and ambition to build TGI Fridays at scale. Meerab Hospitality is a strong example of that approach, combining deep market understanding with the hospitality expertise and ambition to build the brand for long-term success in Pakistan.

The Company offered 50,000,000 shares under the Global Offering, of which the Hong Kong Public Offering was approximately 208.56 times subscribed. The final offer price was set at HK$21.60 per share with a board lot of 100 shares, raising gross proceeds of approximately HK$1,080.0 million. "From day one, Direct Drive Tech has pursued a single goal — using direct drive technology to drive the world," founder Zhang Di said at the listing ceremony. "We remain committed to our mission of bringing robots into every household, and to making robots more efficient, more dexterous and more intelligent." In a letter to staff on the eve of the listing, Zhang likened the industry's shift to the replacement of vacuum tubes by transistors: "This time, the future will not belong to better reducers either." He expects at least 10 billion robots to enter industries and households over the next decade. Direct Drive Tech, he wrote, is not simply a maker of "direct drive joints", but a robotics technology company with direct drive technology at its core and general intelligence connecting everything, with future investment focused on three areas: AI4S (AI for Science), AI4I (AI for Iteration) and AI4R (AI for Robot).   Direct Drive Tech was founded in Dongguan in March 2020, when reducers dominated robot power systems and direct drive — with its high technical barriers — drew little interest. Starting from three core capabilities in direct-drive motor design, thermal management and drive-control integration, the Company built three technology pillars: robotic actuator module technology, wheel-legged robot technology and modular reconfiguration technology, establishing an integrated R&D system spanning core components and robots. By eliminating reducers and other intermediate transmission components, direct drive couples the motor directly to the payload. The result is a simpler structure, higher positioning accuracy, lower noise and less wear — attributes suited to human-proximate applications such as household cleaning robots, where quietness and compact size matter most. On this differentiated route, the Company has become the world's first and only company to have shipped more than 5 million robotic direct drive actuator modules for consumer robots, according to Frost & Sullivan; by the end of June 2026, its technology had powered more than 7.5 million robots worldwide. Built on the three pillars, the Company's embodied joint module portfolio covers the mainstream size range from 20 mm to 120 mm, with peak torque outputs of up to 120 Nm. As of the Latest Practicable Date, it held 352 patents in China with 148 applications pending; 94.3% of its 192-member R&D team hold bachelor's degrees or above. In the consumer segment, the Company works with four of the world's top ten consumer robot providers by 2025 revenue. In embodied intelligence, it supplies embodied joint modules to one of China's top five embodied intelligence robot providers by total value of orders on hand in 2025. For its robot products, the Company has launched four wheel-legged robot models — Diablo, TITA, TITATIT and D1. Diablo robot is the first direct-drive dual-wheel-legged robot commercially introduced in the world; D1 is the first fully modular dual-wheel-legged robot commercially introduced in the world. The numbers now back the route. Revenue rose from RMB17.5 million in 2023 to RMB281.7 million in 2025, a CAGR of 300.8%, and grew a further 39.7% year on year to about RMB200 million in the first half of 2026. Gross profit margin climbed from 13.5% to 21.5% over the period, while the adjusted net loss margin (non-IFRS measure) narrowed sharply from 349.1% to 15.4% as economies of scale took hold. The Company plans to deploy about 50% of the net proceeds to R&D in key robotics technologies, including performance upgrades to robotic direct drive actuator modules and advances in robot and modular assembly technology; about 20% to deepen our collaboration with industry partners and wider domestic and overseas sales networks; about 20% to highly automated flexible production lines and process optimisation; and the remaining 10% to working capital and general corporate purposes. Frost & Sullivan expects the PRC direct drive actuator module market to grow from RMB1.9 billion in 2025 to RMB12.9 billion in 2030, and the country's embodied joint modules market to expand from RMB1.18 billion to RMB14.03 billion over the same period. The Company said it will capture the twin opportunities of direct drive substitution and the industrialisation of embodied intelligence, consolidate its segment leadership and create long-term value for shareholders.

Brings 'Game On' to Life with the 2026 Fall-Winter Global Collection 2026-09-29 · mlpr-acnnewswire · Energy, Retail, Gaming, Media, Education https://www.acnnewswire.com/press-release/english/110437/ West Palm Beach, FL, Sept 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - U.S. Polo Assn.®, the official sports brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), has launched its 2026 Fall-Winter Global Collection, a modern expression of American style rooted in the heritage and energy of the sport of polo. Photographed in the beautiful countryside of Millbrook, New York, the campaign blends the sophistication of New York lifestyle with the authenticity of Hudson Valley's equestrian heritage. From local gathering places and small-town Americana to scenic polo fields and countryside settings, the location creates a natural backdrop for ‘Game On,' a seasonal story inspired by campus life, sport, and polo's enduring style. "The 2026 Fall-Winter Global Collection reflects what makes U.S. Polo Assn. distinctive: an authentic connection to the sport, a modern American point of view and style designed for real life," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "Millbrook in the Hudson Valley brings those elements together in a setting that feels elevated, energetic, and true to our heritage." Designed for Every Age and Stage Designed for every age and stage of the back-to-school season, the 2026 Fall-Winter Global Collection moves easily from classroom essentials to campus-ready style and everyday fall dressing. Heritage-inspired knitwear, elevated outerwear, and versatile layers lead the assortment, including the brand's iconic polo shirt, knit polo sweaters, cable-knit sweaters, cardigans, rugby shirts, structured jackets, trench coats, barn coats, quilted outerwear, shirting essentials, and relaxed denim. ‘Back to School All Stars' set the tone for a collection that balances timeless staples with trend-right pieces. Rich collegiate blues, greens, and reds are layered with warm earth tones and versatile neutrals for Fall and Holiday. Heritage plaids, collegiate and rugby stripes, equestrian-inspired prints, crest motifs and vintage logo graphics add distinctive character. At the same time, sueded textures, quilting, brushed checks, and novelty knit constructions bring depth and texture. "This collection was built around the way consumers dress now, with versatile pieces that layer easily, feel polished, and remain comfortable throughout the season," said Jessica Ramesberger, VP of Merchandising and Design at USPA Global. "We focused on creating a collection that combines heritage classics with modern styling, giving consumers effortless pieces they can wear from the first day of fall through the holiday season." The Polo Shirt: An Icon Born from the Game™ The season continues the story of 'The Polo Shirt: An Icon Born from the Game,' reinforcing the polo shirt as the most recognizable expression of U.S. Polo Assn.'s connection to the sport. For Fall-Winter, it is layered throughout the collection, from campus-inspired looks to elevated everyday dressing. The campaign and photoshoot also feature NYC Polo Club, further grounding the Fall-Winter story in the world of polo and bringing the collection to life through a fresh, contemporary lens. The NYC Polo Club Collection is available as a limited offering. "Millbrook, New York gave us the opportunity to tell a layered visual story that feels both inspirational and approachable," said Stefanie Coroalles, VP of Global Marketing for USPA Global. "The mix of campus energy, small-town Americana, and authentic polo club settings captures the spirit of ‘Game On, Fall' and gives the collection a strong sense of identity."

Today, we’re sharing progress on our “One Step Ahead” anti-scam education campaign designed to help people across Asia-Pacific take simple, practical steps to protect their accounts and know where to turn for help when they encounter a potential scam.  The campaign was designed alongside more than 25 local safety organizations, law enforcement and government agencies across the region, and rolled out across Facebook and Instagram with three simple principles at its core: 1) safety advice should be practical, 2) easy to act on, and 3) come from a source people trust.  Since launching in May 2026, the campaign has reached more than 303 million people across 18 countries, delivering over 1.3 billion impressions and more than 1.2 million link clicks — one of the largest online-safety education efforts Meta has run in the region. The campaign promotes security tools available on Meta apps that people can use to increase their online safety:  Two-factor authentication adds a second check at login, so a stolen password isn’t enough to get in. Passkeys let people sign in with the fingerprint, face or PIN they already use – passkeys can’t be stolen, shared, guessed or reused. Security Checkup walks people through strengthening their Facebook account in minutes. Privacy Checkup keeps people in control of who can see, message and connect with them. WhatsApp’s Linked Device Warning alerts users when it detects a suspicious login attempt, an unauthorized web client, or a potential account-linking scam. WhatsApp group settings allow you to adjust group privacy settings to choose who can add you to WhatsApp groups. Partnering with the people communities already trust Collaboration is key in tackling scams and educating people on how to be safe online. Working with respected local partners lets us extend our reach, reinforce credibility, and make sure people know how to access local anti-scam resources. Through the campaign’s “Know Your Local Resources” element – which alone reached more than 27.4 million people across 14 markets  – people are connected directly to trusted organizations in their own country for reporting tools and support. See below for a full list of partner organizations.   What’s next The “One Step Ahead” campaign will continue throughout 2026, with new tools and locally tailored resources rolling out across the region and more partnerships on the way. We’re committed to supporting people beyond a single campaign: scammers keep evolving, and staying one step ahead is work that’s never truly finished. People can explore how to protect their accounts at Meta’s Scam Protection Center.

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.

The award-winning rideable carry-on combines intelligent mobility, flagship engineering, and premium industrial design for the next generation of travel.When travel becomes about more than simply reaching a destination—when the journey itself becomes part of the experience—the definition of premium travel equipment begins to evolve. The recognition highlights the SE3SX’s combination of intelligent mobility, connected technology, premium materials, and futuristic industrial design, reflecting a broader shift in how technology is being integrated into the luxury travel experience. Rather than treating luggage as a passive container, Airwheel approaches the suitcase as an active part of the journey—one that can carry belongings, provide powered mobility, connect with digital devices, and adapt to different travel scenarios. iLuxury Awards: Where Luxury Meets Technology The iLuxury Awards, founded by the International Awards Associate (IAA), recognizes innovation across luxury products, design, technology, and lifestyle. The program highlights products that bring together aesthetic refinement, technological innovation, craftsmanship, and practical value. For Airwheel, the SE3SX recognition reflects the growing convergence of luxury design and intelligent mobility. The award also arrives as the global luggage category moves beyond traditional considerations such as capacity, materials, and appearance. Connected functionality, electric mobility, human-machine interaction, and personalized experiences are becoming increasingly relevant to the next generation of premium travel products. Beyond the Suitcase: Intelligent Mobility for the Journey For generations, the suitcase has served one fundamental purpose: carrying belongings from one destination to another. Airwheel is exploring a different possibility. The SE3SX combines luggage storage with an integrated electric drive system, allowing travelers to switch between riding and conventional rolling modes according to the environment. This makes the product particularly relevant to travel scenarios that involve long distances on foot, including airport terminals, railway stations, exhibition complexes, and large commercial spaces. The concept is straightforward: instead of simply pulling luggage behind them, travelers can use the suitcase itself as part of their mobility experience. In this sense, the SE3SX represents a broader transition from traditional luggage toward Smart Luggage, Electric Suitcases, and Rideable Cabin Suitcases. Flagship Engineering, Designed Around the Traveler The SE3SX combines a 20-inch cabin-oriented form factor with an integrated electric mobility system. The suitcase measures 530 × 360 × 236 mm, offers approximately 20 liters of storage, and weighs about 6.6 kg. It supports a maximum load of 95 kg and reaches a top riding speed of 9.9 km/h. Its propulsion system combines a 230W motorized front wheel with rear auxiliary wheels to support both riding stability and conventional rolling. The system is designed for controlled movement across suitable travel environments, while the suitcase can return to conventional pull-behind use when riding is not appropriate. The exterior combines a high-strength ABS+PC shell with an aluminum alloy frame, balancing structural strength with a premium, lightweight form. A TSA combination lock supports international travel, while a built-in USB output provides convenient charging for compatible personal devices. The SE3SX uses a 73.26Wh detachable lithium battery, designed around applicable air-travel battery requirements. Technology That Stays Out of the Way For a premium smart product, technology is most effective when it feels natural. The SE3SX integrates physical controls with the Airwheel companion app, giving users different ways to interact with the suitcase depending on the situation. Its smart connectivity also includes native support for Apple Find My, allowing compatible Apple devices to help locate the suitcase. This combination of electric mobility and digital connectivity expands the role of luggage beyond physical storage. The suitcase becomes part of the traveler's connected device ecosystem, linking movement, location, and interaction within a single product. From long airport concourses to short-distance transfers, the objective is not simply to make luggage faster. It is to make movement with luggage more effortless. A Portfolio Built Around Intelligent Travel The SE3SX represents Airwheel's flagship approach to premium intelligent travel, but it is part of a broader product portfolio developed for different users and travel scenarios. Airwheel SE3SX Cabin Suitcase — The flagship smart cabin suitcase and 2026 iLuxury Awards recipient, combining electric mobility, connected functions, Apple Find My, and premium industrial design. Airwheel SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase — A next-generation intelligent model that explores automated mechanical deployment, smart interaction, and a more integrated AI-oriented travel experience. Airwheel SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase — Designed around frequent airport and railway travel, combining compact dimensions, powered mobility, and connected smart functions. Airwheel SE3MiniT Electric Hand Suitcase — A more compact and lightweight interpretation of rideable luggage, designed for short trips and everyday mobility. Airwheel SE3T Ai Wheel Suitcase — A larger-format smart electric suitcase developed for travelers who need greater capacity for longer journeys and family travel. Airwheel SQ3S Kids Suitcase — A smart rideable suitcase designed for younger travelers, bringing intelligent mobility and travel entertainment into the family journey. Across the portfolio, Airwheel continues to develop technologies spanning electric drive systems, motion control, intelligent sensing, structural engineering, and connected interaction. The result is not a single definition of smart luggage, but a product ecosystem designed around different forms of travel. From High-End Technology to a High-End Lifestyle The evolution of intelligent luggage is also reflected in where these products are being introduced. Airwheel has expanded its premium retail presence into high-end commercial destinations including SKP, IFC, and MixC, bringing intelligent travel products into environments traditionally associated with luxury fashion, premium consumer electronics, and sophisticated lifestyle products. The significance goes beyond retail. As smart luggage enters high-end commercial spaces, the category itself begins to move from conventional travel goods toward technology-enabled lifestyle products. The modern luxury suitcase is no longer defined solely by leather, metal, craftsmanship, or brand heritage. Increasingly, its value can also be expressed through intelligent interaction, mobility, connectivity, and the quality of the experience it creates. Technology Built for Long-Term Innovation Behind the evolution of Airwheel's smart mobility products is a technology foundation developed over more than a decade. Airwheel's intelligent riding products are distributed across 68 countries and more than 4,600 retail terminals, while the company has accumulated more than 600 patents worldwide covering areas including motion control, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing, and lightweight structural design. The company has also received recognition from a range of international design and innovation programs. In 2026, the SE3SX received the iLuxury Awards recognition alongside other international distinctions, including a TITAN Innovation Award Platinum and WGA Wonder Global Design Award Silver, while other Airwheel models have received additional international design honors. Together, these developments reflect a sustained effort to bring engineering, industrial design, and intelligent interaction into a category that has remained largely unchanged for decades. The Next Chapter of Intelligent Travel The evolution of travel equipment is no longer simply about making luggage lighter, larger, or more durable. The next generation is increasingly about making it more intelligent, more connected, and more responsive to the way people actually travel. The Airwheel SE3SX represents one expression of that transition—from traditional luggage to smart mobility, and from passive storage to active participation in the journey. As Airwheel continues to develop products spanning AI Suitcases, Luxury Suitcases, Smart Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases, and Rideable Electric Luggage, the company is exploring a broader vision of intelligent travel in which technology becomes an almost invisible part of the experience. The destination may remain the same. But the journey is becoming something entirely different. About Airwheel Airwheel is an intelligent mobility technology brand focused on smart travel and personal mobility. Its product portfolio spans smart rideable suitcases, electric luggage, intelligent mobility products, and related connected travel technologies. By combining electric drive systems, intelligent controls, digital connectivity, and industrial design, Airwheel develops products designed to make everyday movement more intuitive, efficient, and engaging.

Planning in these industries runs on campaign production, long lead times, and regulatory requirements, all surfacing "too late to act on" when planning sits in separate systems. The alliance combines Unison Planning™, OMP's AI-enabled planning platform with built-in industry expertise, and PwC's implementation services. German specialty pharmaceutical company medac is already live under the alliance, with its planners working on a single demand plan in Unison Planning™. PwC and medac will present the project on October 15, 2026, at the OMP Conference in Singapore, detailing the approach behind the rollout and what it means for planning in pharma. Combining innovation, industry knowledge, and integration OMP and PwC run each implementation as a single program. OMP brings Unison Planning™, its AI-enabled platform with built-in industry expertise, connecting to the systems that a manufacturer already runs. PwC's teams lead the implementation, acting as system integrator and working directly alongside the customer's own planners. Both organizations see the same shift across life sciences, consumer goods, and chemicals: manufacturers replacing fragmented planning with a unified end-to-end plan, and looking for a platform and an implementation team that already know their industry. "Process manufacturers face the same planning constraints, whatever their size, and few have spare program capacity to absorb an implementation. That is where the combination of the platform, the industry knowledge, and an integrator who can run the program matters most," said Dieter Sleeuwaert, Senior Vice President Global Alliances at OMP. medac moves from spreadsheets to a single demand plan medac supplies specialty treatments in rheumatology, urology, hematology, and oncology to more than 90 countries, manufacturing at its own European sites. Its planning ran on a mix of spreadsheets, planning functions within its existing ERP system, and a separate tool with limited planning capability. Processes also differed by department and by geography. PwC, medac and OMP started with a focused demand planning release, resulting in an accelerated go-live for German planners ahead of the wider rollout. The remaining geographies, a supply planning layer, and a second release running in parallel with medac's SAP S/4 implementation will follow. "Leading with the demand planning release and holding the solution close to standard is what made it work. That approach transfers to other companies in the sector," said Jörg Zietz, Director, Supply Chain Planning at PwC Germany. PwC and medac on stage in Singapore Dr. Karsten Gentner, Vice President Supply Chain Management and Procurement at medac, and Jörg Zietz of PwC Germany will explain how medac is building the digital backbone for a smarter, more resilient, and AI-ready pharmaceutical supply chain. Their session takes place on October 15, 2026 at the OMP Conference in Singapore. Register for the event.

Occupying a total floor area of 570 square metres, it is China's first multi-celebrity-IP immersive fan experience flagship store, bringing music, trendy toys and culture together in one trendy experience space. A significant step in Star Plus Legend's offline retail matrix, the store is set to become a city-level trendy IP landmark in the heart of East Nanjing Road's core commercial district. Zhou Peimin, Chief Operating Officer of Star Plus Legend Group, said in her opening speech: “Shanghai is not only a trendsetter for China’s consumer market, but also a key gateway through which global brands and trend culture reach China and Chinese brands reach the world. East Nanjing Road sits at the very intersection of Shanghai-style commercial heritage and contemporary youth culture. Choosing this address for the first store is a deliberate first step in Star Plus Legend’s ‘One City, One Store’ strategy. Through this space, we hope to bring younger, more contemporary trendy content to East Nanjing Road, give consumers a cultural experience worth lingering in and returning to, and leave behind an IP memory for Shanghai that people can take away and share.” Music Woven into Architecture, An Immersive Space Unfolds Floor by Floor As the centrepiece of the store experience, the interior design takes its cues from the aesthetics and storytelling of Jay Chou’s classic songs, linking fans’ shared musical memories with somewhere to meet offline, creating a fan space to wander through, play in and linger in. This experience is clearly perceptible from the facade. A signature giant clock installation pays tribute to “Counter-clockwise Clock”, giving the space a sense of time running backwards. Standing on East Nanjing Road, passers-by immediately register a musical symbol that belongs to CHOUCHOU. The building as a whole draws on the retro European Gothic aesthetic of “William’s Castle”. The period stone cladding, carved arched windows, stained glass and fireplace settings recreate the song’s fantastical castle atmosphere in physical form. Music is no longer something merely heard, it becomes a scene you can see and walk into. Inside, the narrative unfolds floor by floor. 1F, the “Star’s Living Room”, carries the retro European villa facade through to the interior, with a giant chiming clock installation, large art toy sculptures and lighting strips, complemented indoors by stained glass, a fireplace-and-sofa lounge, a central large art toy island and a blind box retail area. The floor balances shopping with photo-taking and rest, recreating the feel of a living room where fans gather. On 2F, the “CHOUCHOU Universe” stages blue nebula resin flooring, time-space photo-frame installations and happiness-making capsule pods to create a walk-through IP universe, with immersive photo spots and storytelling at its core. 3F, the “Secret Loft”, is expected to open to the public in November 2026 and is planned to house a hidden restaurant and an acoustics laboratory party space, extending the store beyond retail into community gathering. More Than 300 SKUs at Launch, with Global Debuts and City Exclusives in the Spotlight Beyond the spatial experience, the store’s product line-up is equally rich. During the opening period, the store is unveiling a first drop of more than 300 SKUs across seven categories: collectible figures and blind boxes, themed plush, trendy accessories, home and lifestyle, digital peripherals, city exclusives and cross-brand collaborations. The range covers both collectible large art toys and series blind boxes, and practical spin-offs for everyday use, delivering on the promise of “collect it, wear it, use it”. At the centre of the opening line-up are six plush series—Earphone CHOUCHOU, Poker Encounter, Football CHOUCHOU, Dim Sum Is Busy, Absolute Pitch and Milk Tea CHOUCHOU—unveiled as a surprise, each with its own distinctive theme concept and cute, playful styling, adding a younger, more comforting and more collectible note to the store’s trendy toy offer.  The “Kung Fu Soccer × CHOUCHOU” collaboration series brings together the rousing spirit of sport and the CHOUCHOU character. Using trendy toys as a medium to connect with film and television culture, the series creates a new form of expression between the thrill of a sports storyline and the approachability of the IP character. Star Plus Legend's original IP MAJI DOGGIE goes on sale in a physical store for the first time, joined by IPs including WAKAEMO, further broadening the store’s IP matrix and giving consumers more characters to choose from and interact with. Also in the mix is the “Shanghai Flagship Store City Exclusive Series”, inspired by Shanghai’s urban culture and the architecture of the flagship store itself. It turns Shanghai-style motifs such as the East Nanjing Road store, the Oriental Pearl Tower and Magnolia into collectible souvenirs, so that customers can “Bring the flagship store and Shanghai memories home”. Several limited editions make their global debut during the opening period and are available only at the East Nanjing Road flagship store. From cross-brand collaborations to original IP incubation, and from city exclusives to collectible figures, the range strengthens the store’s content and gives the opening line-up greater depth and freshness, all assembled with genuine care. “One City, One Store” Strategy Kicks Off as the Offline Retail Matrix Accelerates Beyond products, the store’s IP strategy and expansion roadmap are equally well defined. Anchored by CHOUCHOU, Jay Chou’s official anime-style IP character, the store will continue to introduce more global celebrity IPs over time, supporting multi-IP co-existence. Zhou Peimin said the flagship store operates a “One City, One Store; One City, One Custom Design” model, and will keep the space fresh with regularly updated products, themes, collaborations and cultural content, so that every visit offers new discoveries and experiences. Next, Central China's first flagship store, in Changsha, will open on September 24, followed by flagship stores in Chengdu and Guangzhou. The store network will also bring in overseas trendy IP content and work with Unitree Robotics to explore a new business track of “trendy IP + smart hardware”. For Star Plus Legend, opening its first global flagship store is both a key step in extending from IP operation into physical, on-the-ground experience and an important milestone in upgrading the offline retail matrix from robot shops and pop-up stores into flagship-store experience spaces. The opening is only the starting point. The store will keep refreshing its content around new IP releases, artist collaborations, city exclusives and offline community events, so that every visit feels new and the opening buzz turns into lasting content appeal and urban trend vitality. Zhou Peimin said the company aims to build IPs for the long term, approach business through a cultural lens and use physical space as a point of connection. Products are not simply merchandise, but part of the IP narrative; a store is not a one-off photo spot, but the beginning of an ongoing relationship between the brand and its customers. CHOUCHOU & FRIENDS’ vision is to become a world-class trendy celebrity IP platform deeply rooted in Chinese culture, connected to global creative resources and in step with the era's direction of high-quality development in the cultural sector. Using trendy IPs as a vehicle, it will tell compelling cultural stories for a new era and bring Chinese trend culture to the world. About Company Star Plus Legend Holdings Limited (6683.HK) was founded in 2017 and primarily focuses on IP creation and operation, leveraging IP-driven synergies to expand into AI + robotics and new consumption in the healthy lifestyle sector. The Company was successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in July 2023, approved for inclusion in the Hang Seng Composite Index in February 2024, and formally entered the Hong Kong Stock Connect in March of the same year. In September 2025, Star Plus Legend announced the acquisition of approximately 1.17% equity in National Stadium Co., Ltd. (the operator of the Bird’s Nest), becoming the only private-sector shareholder of the Bird’s Nest to date. In November of the same year, Star Plus Legend announced that it had become a strategic shareholder of Galaxy Corporation Co., Ltd (“Galaxy”), a well-known entertainment management company in South Korea, strengthening its global IP presence. Galaxy boasts a roster of globally influential artists, including Kwon Ji-Yong (also known as G-DRAGON), Kim Jong-kook, and Song Kang-ho. In the field of IP creation and operation, the Company maximizes the influence of its artists by creating personalized character and content IPs tailored to each individual. In terms of character IPs, the Company has established deep collaborations with core celebrities such as Jay Chou and Liu Keng-hung, resulting in two iconic IPs — “CHOUCHOU” and “Coach Liu”. And the cumulative number of fans of the existing celebrity IP portfolio has reached 280 million. In 2023, the Company collaborated with a top Hollywood visual effects team to create the digital human of “CHOUCHOU” for Jay Chou and launched the first metaverse trailer, “The Awakening”. The authorization of the digital human of CHOUCHOU to China Mobile as its Dynamic Star Ambassador, 5G Metaverse Pioneer, and 5G Video Ringtone Ambassador signifies Star Plus Legend’s successful expansion of its IP licensing business into the digital content sector. In 2022, the Company assisted Liu Keng-hung in becoming a national fitness coach and also developed his official anime-style persona and digital human, "Coach Liu”. In 2026, Liu Keng-hung was selected into the first batch of quality online streamers under the Quality Online Streamer Cultivation Project. In addition, the Company introduced a new original IP character, “WAKAEMO,” in 2025, and launched a collaboration programme with 100 international pop artists to build a global artist network and promote the internationalisation of Chinese celebrity IPs.

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. The Airwheel’s broader objective is to make mobility technology more accessible in daily life, bringing together design, engineering, and intelligent interaction to create products that help people move through their journeys with greater flexibility.

A too-good-to-be-true stock tip. A luxury skincare brand offering deep discounts from a page that didn’t exist last week. A messaging group promising guaranteed returns with zero risk. Behind these “opportunities” are organised, well-resourced criminal networks — operating across borders, platforms, and industries. They move fast, adapt constantly, and rely on the fact that no single organisation can see the full picture of their operations. Disrupting them requires collaboration: law enforcement and technology companies sharing information, acting together, and moving just as fast as the scammers do. In Singapore, that’s exactly what’s happening. A partnership built on sustained information sharing Over the past two years, Meta and the Singapore Police Force (SPF) have built an information sharing partnership designed to proactively identify and remove violating scam content. Rather than responding to individual reports, this collaboration focuses on proactive network disruption – where SPF information helps Meta’s investigators identify and dismantle entire ecosystems of bad actors. Similarly, Meta’s information has aided SPF in the arrest of seven men in 2025 for their suspected involvement in a transnational unlawful remote betting operation.  In 2026, information sharing between Meta and SPF has led to strong results:  Uncovering Widespread Networks: Between January and June 2026, using information shared by SPF, Meta took action against more than 113,000 entities and pages connected to fraud and scams on Facebook and Instagram, with content predominantly involving investment scams where scammers lure victims in with promises of guaranteed or high investment returns. The information shared by SPF resulted in Meta actioning more than 5x the number of assets flagged. That’s not just accounts being taken down one by one. It’s the dismantling of interconnected networks where disabling one node leads investigators to connected scammers. Proactively Actioning Seasonal Scam Content: In June 2026 in anticipation of upcoming school holidays and the seasonal rise in scams, Meta and SPF conducted an enhanced disruption operation focused on e-commerce scams which promoted misleading pricing, fake promotional tactics for well known brands, exaggerated product claims, and a sense of urgency and scarcity. This resulted in Meta taking action against  more than 33,600 entities. Disrupting Networks Before The Damage: Through our ongoing collaborations, SPF information also flagged a newer scam vector: “shell pages”. These Pages look empty and harmless – no ads or violating content. But scammers had pre-built infrastructure, ready to be activated for scam campaigns at a moment’s notice. Working from SPF’s signals, in July 2026, we took action against over 3.6 million shell pages before they could be used – and we’re now pursuing further disruptions against this type of scam.   “Scammers count on the fact that no single organisation sees the full picture. What we’ve built with the Singapore Police Force turns that assumption on its head — their information helps us identify threats we might not see on our own, and our ability to act at scale means those networks can be dismantled before they reach more people. This is what effective collaboration looks like. Not just responding to scams after the fact, but proactively going after the infrastructure behind them.” – Daryl Poon, Director of Law Enforcement Outreach, APAC “The Singapore Police Force has long recognised that tackling sophisticated scam networks requires a collaboration with international and private stakeholders. By partnering closely with industry partners, we can share scam signals that allow our partners to take action to disrupt the criminal infrastructure behind these scams. This recent operation demonstrates the power of police and private sector collaboration- scam infrastructure was decisively taken down, cutting off scammers’ ability to defraud Singaporeans. SPF will work with Meta and other online service providers to expand data sharing and strengthen scam disruption efforts.” – Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Justin Wong, Commander Cyber Command, Singapore Police Force Broader anti-scam efforts This work with the SPF sits within a wider ecosystem of anti-scam work that Meta is building on.  Across two weeks in May and June 2026, the US Department of Justice’s Scam Center Strike Force brought together Meta, Microsoft, Coinbase, Starlink, and other companies alongside the FBI, Secret Service, and law enforcement partners in the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Thailand. As a result of this joint disruption, more than a million online assets were disrupted — including 1.4 million accounts, pages and groups across Facebook and Instagram, 20,000 Microsoft accounts, and thousands of Starlink kits — and the Royal Thai Police arrested 63 individuals involved in scam operations. Meta, SPF and the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) also collaborate on public education campaigns designed to protect Singaporeans from scams. This year’s “One Step Ahead” campaign encourages the public to turn on in-app security features such as 2-FA (Two-Factor Authentication) and passkeys for Facebook and Instagram to enhance account protection, and use WhatsApp security features such as Linked Device Notifications. The campaign also promotes local resources such as the ScamShield website where users can learn more about different scam types and how to stay safe. So far, the campaign has reached 1.6 million people in Singapore. Meta continues to invest in building defenses across its platforms and removing violating scam content. So far this year we’ve removed 65 million scam ads from Facebook and Instagram, with 94% of those ads removed before anyone reported them to us. Meta supports a shared defense in which platforms, banks, telecommunications providers, and governments exchange signals and support their respective investigations and enforcement actions. That principle underpins our participation in the Industry Accord Against Online Scams and Fraud and the ASEAN Public Private Partnership Principles for Tackling Online Scams.  Scams are a global industry, run across platforms, apps, and borders. Meta’s work with the Singapore Police Force shows that shared information, acted on quickly, changes the equation. Because the best defence against organised crime is an equally organised response.  To learn more about staying safe online, visit the Meta Scam Protection Center. In Singapore, you can download ScamShield for real-time scam protection.   The post Meta Takes Action on 3.7 Million Accounts, Pages and Content In Partnership With Singapore Police Force appeared first on Meta Newsroom. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Disney Consumer Products Announces New Structure and Leadership Details 2026-09-22 · mlpr-disney · Retail, Media https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/consumer-products-leadership-structure-announcement/ The post Disney Consumer Products Announces New Structure and Leadership Details appeared first on The Walt Disney Company. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— GREEN FUEL FORWARD EXPANDS INDUSTRY ALLIANCE TO SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL ADOPTION IN ASIA 2026-09-22 · mlpr-prnewswire-wire · Retail https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/green-fuel-forward-expands-industry-alliance-to-support-sustainable-aviation-fuel-adoption-in-asia-302886742.html Center for Green Market Activation (GMA) and Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company (SAFCo), join GenZero on the Steering Committee, while Amazon, Bain & Company, and Temasek Trust join the growing industry alliance to support credible demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and... ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Medallion Bank Announces Launch of Series G Preferred Stock Offering 2026-09-22 · GlobeNewswire · Finance, Retail https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/09/22/3366894/0/en/medallion-bank-announces-launch-of-series-g-preferred-stock-offering.html SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medallion Bank (Nasdaq: MBNKO), an FDIC-insured bank providing consumer loans for the purchase of recreational vehicles, boats, and home improvements, along with loan origination services to fintech strategic partners, announced today that it has launched a public offering of additional shares of its Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series G, par value $1.00 per share, with a liquidation amount of $25 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”).

PJ Millennium I Limited and PJ Millennium II Limited, wholly owned subsidiaries of PJ Millennium Limited Partnership — whose general partner is Lochpine BG I GP Limited, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Lochpine Capital Limited, a non-controlled, non-consolidated affiliate of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (“CATL”, 300750.SZ / 03750.HK) — have completed a strategic investment in VNET Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: VNET), one of China’s leading carrier- and cloud-neutral internet data center services providers. The transaction closed on September 21, 2026. Upon closing, the buyers have become VNET’s largest shareholder, holding an approximately 38.1% equity stake in the Company. The terms of the agreement include a two-year voting and consortium alignment between the companies, providing continuity in VNET’s governance and management while maintaining its strategic direction and operational momentum. The two companies have also entered into a strategic cooperation agreement, aimed at deeper collaboration across operations, technology and ecosystem development, as they jointly pursue the rapidly emerging compute-energy integration market. Mr. Josh Sheng Chen, Founder and Executive Chairperson of VNET, said: “We are pleased to welcome CATL as a new strategic investor and sincerely thank them for their strong support of VNET and our long-term vision. Looking ahead, we will work closely together to deepen collaboration across technology, infrastructure and supply chain capabilities, jointly drive foundational and full-chain innovation in the next-generation AIDC industry, advance innovation in integrated compute-energy systems, and contribute to the development of next-generation digital energy infrastructure for the intelligent era.” As VNET positions itself as an infrastructure provider for the AI inference era, its alignment with CATL at both ownership and business levels has attracted significant market attention. A key question has therefore emerged: why did CATL choose VNET as a major ecosystem partner in its push towards compute-energy integration' According to Frost & Sullivan, VNET’s carrier-neutral data center services revenue is growing faster than the broader China market. Its wholesale data center segment has demonstrated particularly strong year-on-year growth, ranking first among China’s scaled carrier-neutral data center service providers. By retail data center services revenue, VNET ranked No. 1 in 2025, with a 12.3% market share. This combination of growth and market share highlights the strength of VNET’s market position. The Company has also developed competitive advantages across resource reserves, project delivery, customer relationships and access to capital markets — capabilities that have helped lay the foundation for this strategic partnership. Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Asian Leaders Forum, VNET’s senior management highlighted that the Company’s deep commitment to the Chinese market has enabled it to capture a significant share of incremental customer demand over the past two to three years, while maintaining industry-leading delivery capability. This capability will help support the Company’s international ambitions, given the overseas growth of Chinese enterprise customers. At the forum, management summarized VNET’s core competitive advantages across four strategic pillars: First, the Company has secured abundant power-backed resources in regions with relatively low electricity costs. Second, it has demonstrated strong project delivery capabilities, taking approximately 12 to 18 months from greenfield development to delivery. Third, it has established deep relationships with a global network of approximately 7,000 enterprise customers. Fourth, as a US-listed company, VNET benefits from diversified financing channels and solid credit ratings. The Three-Layer Power-Compute Architecture: A Comprehensive Strategic Blueprint Moving forward, the two companies are now focused on translating their comprehensive strategic partnership into an actionable industrial blueprint: a three-layer architecture comprising “Gigawatt-Scale Compute-Energy Facilities + Distributed Compute-Energy Networks + Tokenized Energy Attribute Certificates”. Using this blueprint, the companies will jointly develop a three-layer power-compute system designed to build a nationwide network with global reach, aiming to shape the digital energy infrastructure landscape in the AI era. 1. Gigawatt-Scale Compute-Energy Facilities: The Energy Backbone for Hyperscale AIDCs By combining CATL’s full-stack energy technologies and energy storage systems (ESS) with VNET’s proven AIDC execution capabilities, the partnership aims to develop next-generation hyperscale campuses designed around power-compute integration from the outset. Rather than building the data center first and adding power infrastructure later, the approach is to plan computing and energy capacity in parallel from the beginning. 2. Distributed Compute-Energy Networks: City-Level Edge Infrastructure The second layer focuses on city-level edge infrastructure, directly supporting the strategic deployment of China’s “Six National Compute Networks” and addressing growing demand from smart-city AI applications and localized inference. By extending beyond mega-scale campuses, the partnership aims to expand into city-level edge infrastructure while promoting standardized product design and greater commercial scalability. 3. Tokenized Energy Attribute Certificates: Commercial Model Innovation The third layer focuses on commercial model innovation. By leveraging digitized, auditable environmentalattribute certificates as a value-transfer mechanism, this framework enables traceable alignment between compliant computing assets, renewable electricity procurement and related energy attributes. In essence, the model aims to establish a more transparent and verifiable framework linking computing capacity with renewable power and related environmental attributes, supporting future settlement, reporting and optimization of integrated compute-energy operations. For VNET, the three-layer system represents more than a strategic framework — it provides an execution roadmap for its upgraded “dual-engine” strategy. Gigawatt-scale facilities anchor hyperscale campuses, distributed networks extend coverage to city-level computing, and digital energy-attribute management may, over time, support better traceability, optimization and utilization of green-energy resources. Together, these three layers support VNET’s transformation from a pure-play IDC operator towards an AI-native integrated compute-energy infrastructure platform. The Company believes that the entry of a major strategic industrial investor will materially influence institutional perceptions of its risk and growth potential, its financing capabilities, its operational stability and its medium- to long-term expansion pipeline. With CATL’s strategic backing and the rollout of VNET’s three-layer compute-energy architecture, investor focus is increasingly shifting from the Company’s traditional IDC identity toward its broader role in next-generation AI infrastructure. Still, market recognition is likely to depend not only on strategic narrative, but also on measurable operating delivery. That operating foundation is already beginning to show. In Q2 2026, VNET reported total net revenue of RMB2.78 billion, up 14.2% year-on-year, with the wholesale segment remaining the key growth driver as its revenue rose 29.3% to RMB1.10 billion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 25.4% year-on-year to RMB920 million, while adjusted cash gross profit rose 9.4% to RMB1.16 billion. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 3.0 percentage points year-on-year to 33.0%. Adjusted net income reached RMB7.38 million, representing a return to profitability compared with the same period last year. CATL provides more than capital. Its participation brings expertise and capabilities in energy technologies that are increasingly important to the next phase of AI data center development. As AI infrastructure evolves, competitive differentiation is moving beyond basic capacity toward integrated capabilities in power access, energy efficiency, cooling, and long-term operational reliability. In that context, the partnership may strengthen VNET’s ability to participate in the next wave of high-quality infrastructure demand. Notably, several major international investment banks — including Goldman Sachs, HSBC and Morgan Stanley — have recently taken a positive view of VNET. In its latest report dated 3 September, Goldman Sachs reiterated its Buy rating and set a US$14.00 price target. Morgan Stanley, holding an Overweight rating, also set a US$14.00 target price, while HSBC set its target at US$14.10. Goldman Sachs noted that VNET is expected to secure approximately 1.0–1.1GW of wholesale orders for the full year, while its 500MW overseas resource deployment continues to progress, supported by disciplined financing and potential additional synergies from CATL’s strategic investment. Goldman Sachs also expects VNET’s wholesale IDC business to deliver a 2025–2028 revenue and EBITDA CAGR of 37%–38%, highlighting the potential for continued growth driven by AI infrastructure demand and further reassessment of the Company’s valuation. Morgan Stanley maintains its Overweight rating on VNET, setting a US$14 price target, noting that VNET is poised for accelerating EBITDA growth starting from 3Q26, backed by its solid order backlog of 862MW and 3.6GW of available domestic resource capacity. The firm expects capacity deliveries to pick up meaningfully in 2H26, with disciplined overseas expansion plans to mitigate near-term capex risks. From industrial synergies to potential valuation re-rating, VNET’s positioning within the compute-energy integration landscape is attracting increasing attention from the investment community. On one side, CATL is expanding its role from a battery supplier towards becoming a broader infrastructure partner for the AI era. On the other, VNET is pursuing a strategic transformation from a third-party IDC operator towards an AI-native, next-generation digital energy infrastructure provider. The two companies’ strategic trajectories are therefore converging at a pivotal point in the development of AI infrastructure. For VNET, the partnership provides more than additional capital: it creates opportunities for deeper integration across green power, energy storage technologies and global energy networks, potentially strengthening its competitive position as the AI infrastructure market continues to evolve.

Once the offering closes, the Company will become the “first direct-drive stock” in Hong Kong — and the first robotics technology company in global capital markets defined primarily by direct-drive technology. The market isn’t just watching a single listing; it may be watching an industry inflection point, as robot drive solutions shift from traditional reducers toward direct drive — a transition one young team is betting on to upend the established landscape. According to public records, founder Zhang Di earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2016 before moving to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he studied robotics systems and control engineering under Professor Li Zexiang — widely known as the “godfather of DJI.” His engineering instincts showed early: while at HKUST, he reportedly designed on his own a robot capable of standing both upright and upside down, and sold it to a research institution. Zhang has served as chairman and chief executive since March 2020, overseeing the Group’s overall management, strategic planning, and business decisions. Zhang founded the Company in 2020 at XbotPark, a robotics incubator in Songshan Lake, Dongguan. The Songshan Lake Robotics Research Institute, controlled by Professor Li, invested at the seed round, when the post-money valuation stood at just a few million renminbi; by the final round before the IPO, the valuation had climbed substantially. Now 32, Zhang has been named to both the Forbes China 30 Under 30 and the Hurun China Under 30 lists. Conventional robot drives pair a motor with a reducer: gears step down rotational speed and multiply torque, which suits high-load, high-impact duty. But every meshing gear introduces backlash and friction — heat, wear, and maintenance costs. Every multi-stage transmission adds response lag, energy loss, and precision drift. These are not process defects; they are structural limits baked into the gear-transmission path. And every reducer weakness maps to a direct-drive strength. As embodied intelligence begins demanding millisecond response, zero backlash, lower energy consumption, and longer service life, reducer-based solutions have hit a ceiling that iteration cannot break. This is not an upgrade; it is substitution. Since its founding, the Company has stayed on the direct-drive path, building its moat on three core technology pillars. By coupling the motor directly to the payload, its solution eliminates reducers and every intermediate transmission component. According to the prospectus, this cuts efficiency losses from mechanical transmission while improving precision, lowering noise, and reducing component wear — and it paves the way for smaller, lighter robots. This is no localized tweak to an existing design; it is a rebuild of the power-transmission path itself. The Company has built core capabilities around direct-drive motor design, thermal management, and drive-control integration — system-level know-how spanning electromagnetic design, control algorithms, and mass production. Zero backlash, zero friction, millisecond response: capabilities conventional solutions structurally cannot deliver are, in principle, within reach through direct drive. Iterating on the old technology cannot close that gap. The financials tell more than a revenue story — they trace how direct drive moved from technical validation to commercialization at scale. From 2023 to 2025, revenue rose from RMB17.5 million to RMB281.7 million, a 300.8% CAGR, as shipments of direct-drive actuator modules climbed from 0.2 million to 8.5 million units. Gross margin improved from 13.5% to 21.5%, reaching 20.7% in the first half of 2026, while the adjusted net loss margin narrowed from 349.1% to 15.4% — 13.7% in the first half of 2026. This is scale economics kicking in: a larger revenue base absorbing fixed costs, not R&D cuts, is what has narrowed the losses. It is not just one company’s growth curve; it is a substitution curve, a technology pathway moving from the margins toward the mainstream. Valuation is where Chapter 18C really matters. The Specialist Technology Company regime lets the market assess high-growth hard-tech companies on R&D capabilities, patent reserves, commercialization track record, commercialization revenue, and downstream customer validation — not net profit alone. That framework fits a company trying to change an industry’s underlying technology pathway. Traditional valuation systems revolve around net profit, and they struggle to price a technology like direct drive that is redrawing a century-old industry. Chapter 18C lets the market price “technology substitution” rather than short-term profitability. The technology pathway for global robot drives is still being written, but direct drive displacing reducers is getting harder to ignore. As the “first direct-drive stock,” the Company’s scarcity value lies in using direct drive to redraw the boundaries of the robot actuation market — giving investors a window into the rise of power hardware for physical AI. Direct-drive penetration in consumer robotics remains low, and the shift away from reducer-based solutions is still in its early days; the market has yet to fully price the trend. As direct drive finds its way into more applications, that revaluation has only just begun. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

To commemorate this milestone, the brand has invited renowned designer and illustrator Mr. Alex Gan, known for his delicate style and dreamlike brushwork, to create an exclusive anniversary-themed artwork. This crossover collaboration embodies the brand’s “Young at Heart” philosophy through jewellery. Drawing inspiration from 3DG Jewellery’s signature products, the artist has transformed classic design elements into imaginative illustrations. These include the Eight Treasures Compass from the “Classic Gold” collection, the four-leaf clover from the “Golden Allure GA” collection and the feather from the “Bling Bling Gold” collection, offering a new artistic interpretation of jewellery aesthetics. Taking centre stage in the celebration is the newly launched “Bling Bling Gold” Phalaenopsis Orchid Collection. The collection combines graceful, three-dimensional contours with the brand’s exclusive Bling Bling Gold craftsmanship and technology, allowing the gold surface to refract a spectrum of colours as the light shifts. Designed to complement both wedding occasions and everyday styling, the collection seamlessly combines romantic sophistication with modern versatility, allowing wearers to express their individuality with confidence and elegance. In addition, a range of exclusive co-branded merchandise, including gift boxes, tumblers and stylish scarves, will be launched during the campaign, offering customers an artistic experience that engages both sight and touch. A host of limited-time offers will also be rolled out, with selected jewellery pieces available at a special appreciation price of HK$2,388, as a token of gratitude for customers’ continued support. Cross-Industry Collaboration: Art-Inspired Jewellery, with Dreamlike Elements Woven into the Designs Renowned designer and illustrator Mr. Alex Gan drew his creative inspiration from a romantic starry sky, using gold and holographic silver as the dominant tones. Gold symbolises the precious metal, while holographic silver represents the dazzling brilliance of jewellery. The artwork adopts a swirling, encircling composition that evokes a sense of fluid movement. Shooting stars streak across the sky as graceful hummingbirds and fluttering butterflies act as guides, accompanied by soft velvet ribbons and exquisite jewellery. Together, these elements create a light and dynamic sense of moving towards something longed for. Gilded flowers burst into bloom while pristine feathers unfurl and dance across the sky, intertwining as they converge into a glittering vortex of swirling light, surrounded by delicate sparkles of starlight. The layered interplay of light and shadow creates a refined and dreamlike atmosphere, with the silhouette of a beautiful young woman appearing subtly amid the starlight. Each visual element echoes the others, giving concrete form to romantic imagery. Through symbols such as starlight, blossoms, wings, butterflies and birds, the artwork conveys the vibrant and ever-renewing inner vitality of love, resulting in an artistic visual expression that combines aesthetic beauty with emotional meaning. This cross-industry collaboration embodies the brand’s “Young at Heart” philosophy, demonstrating how jewellery can transcend the boundaries of age and time, empowering every woman to discover her own moment to shine. Inspired by 3DG Jewellery’s signatureCollections, Mr. Gan has woven the brand’s classic designs into the artwork. The curves of the butterfly’s outstretched wings echo the silhouette of the “Bling Bling Gold” butterfly designs; the lightness of the feathers mirrors the ethereal elegance of the “Bling Bling Gold” feather design; and the four-leaf clover and Eight Treasures Compass motifs directly reference the classic designs of the “Golden Allure GA” and “Classic Gold” collections. Through this creative dialogue between art and jewellery, each discipline inspires and elevates the other, bringing timeless designs to life through a fresh and imaginative perspective. “Classic Gold” Collection – Eight Treasures Compass Design Gold Pendant with Ruby and Diamonds   Design, craftsmanship and features The Eight Treasures Compass brings together eight auspicious symbols, representing the fulfilment of blessings and wisdom, and enduring good fortune. The vajra represents firm and incisive wisdom that dispels ignorance and overcomes obstacles.

Its delicate veins interlace and spread like the effortless beauty of nature, outlining a vibrant sense of vitality. Studded with diamonds, the design quietly blends the pure beauty of nature with artisanal craftsmanship. Every 5G gold vein carries the classic blessings of the four-leaf clover, with happiness hidden within its leaf patterns and vitality captured in its design. The piece not only echoes the harmonious coexistence of nature and art, but also ensures the wearer is constantly surrounded by good wishes.   “Bling Bling Gold” Collection – Feather Design Gold Pendant     Design, craftsmanship and features A single feather of breathtaking grace, born bathed in light. This 5G gold feather is the embodiment of lightness, symbolising the guidance of light and the favour of good fortune, like an invisible pair of hands silently bestowing protection and blessings.

Through the use of 5G Bling Bling Gold craftsmanship and Italian filigree techniques, the surface achieves a dazzling lustre with distinct layers, radiating timeless brilliance. Available in large, medium and small versions, the thematic designs combine versatile fashion appeal with the symbolism of beauty and happiness, breaking free from the conventions of traditional bridal jewellery to present a modern bridal style for a new generation. From weddings to everyday attire, the pieces can be effortlessly styled to enable the wearer to shine at every moment. “Bling Bling Gold” Collection – Phalaenopsis Orchid Design Design, craftsmanship and features Gradated phalaenopsis orchids and graceful butterflies create a rhythmic sense of dynamic beauty, capturing a vivid moment in a spring garden. 5G Bling Bling Gold and Italian handcrafted filigree outline the petals, with fine gold wires shaped precisely to follow the contours of each flower, recreating the beauty of the layered, unfurling blossoms. The shimmering gold surface complements the openwork filigree, perfectly blending bridal festivity with the natural grace of flowers. Gold Necklace Gold Earrings       Gold Ring Gold Bangle     More from the “Bling Bling Gold” Butterfly Collection Gold Pendant   Design, craftsmanship and features Inspired by the butterfly as a symbol of love, this piece conveys a heartfelt wish for enduring devotion between lovers.

At the center of Airwheel's exhibition lineup will be the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase, a flagship 20-inch smart electric suitcase that combines one-touch electric riding, intelligent control, connected technology and premium luggage design. The company will maintain a presence throughout all three phases of the exhibition, presenting a broader portfolio of AI Suitcases, Smart Suitcases, Electric Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases designed for different travel scenarios and customer segments. Airwheel will be present throughout the entire 140th Canton Fair. Phase 1: October 15–19, 2026 Booth: To be announced following final confirmation Phase 2: October 23–27, 2026 Booth: 20.2F19-20 Phase 3: October 31–November 4, 2026 Booths: 20.2J37-38, 20.2K11-12, 18.1K04 The full three-phase presence gives international buyers an opportunity to connect with Airwheel throughout the exhibition period and explore its smart electric luggage portfolio, product capabilities and potential distribution opportunities. SE3SXD: From Luxury Suitcase to Intelligent Mobility Companion The SE3SXD represents Airwheel's latest approach to intelligent luggage, built around a simple idea: making the transition from carrying luggage to riding it faster and more intuitive. Its one-touch riding system automatically deploys the powered front wheel while the intelligent riding handle extends and locks into position. With a single operation, the suitcase can transition from a conventional Cabin Suitcase into a Rideable Suitcase without requiring users to manually complete multiple mechanical steps. The SE3SXD measures approximately 550 × 360 × 236 mm, provides 20 liters of storage capacity and weighs approximately 6.8 kg without the power bank. It supports a maximum load of 95 kg and reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h. Its drive system uses a 230W motor and a 5.2-inch powered front wheel, combined with dual 4-inch rear wheels. The telescopic powered front-wheel structure extends the wheelbase during riding, helping improve stability across smooth indoor surfaces and common outdoor environments. The result is a premium travel product that combines the functions of a Luxury Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase, Electric Suitcase and Rideable Suitcase within one platform. Intelligent Control Designed Around the Journey The SE3SXD's intelligence extends beyond its electric drive system. Through Airwheel's dedicated smart APP, users can monitor riding speed, battery level and mileage in real time while adjusting speed continuously from 0.1 to 9.9 km/h. The system also supports functions including cruise control, intelligent remote control, low-battery alerts and Bluetooth disconnection notifications. Personalization is another part of the experience. The SE3SXD features an 8-color lighting system with nine lighting-effect combinations, allowing users to customize the visual appearance of the suitcase. For additional security and convenience, the SE3SXD supports Apple Find My, allowing users to locate the suitcase through compatible Apple devices and activate a sound when searching for it nearby. A 5V USB output provides additional charging capability for smartphones and other portable devices, extending the role of the suitcase beyond simple luggage storage. Designed for Modern International Travel The SE3SXD is built around a 20-inch cabin-size format and uses a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery. The battery system has obtained International Certification, while its removable architecture allows the power unit to be separated from the suitcase when required for inspection and handling. The suitcase uses an ABS+PC composite shell reinforced with an aluminum alloy frame, combining lightweight construction with structural strength. A TSA combination lock provides additional convenience for international travelers. With a maximum load of 95 kg and an operating temperature range of approximately -10°C to 40°C, the SE3SXD is designed for a broad range of everyday travel environments. Airwheel's official product materials also emphasize the SE3SXD's combination of one-touch deployment, APP connectivity, Apple Find My and 9.9 km/h riding performance, positioning it as a flagship model within the company's smart rideable luggage range. A Complete Smart Electric Luggage Product Matrix The SE3SXD is not a standalone product. It forms part of Airwheel's broader smart electric luggage portfolio, enabling the company to address different travel needs, price segments and user groups. SE3SXD — Flagship AI Luxury Suitcase Airwheel's flagship intelligent model, featuring one-touch automatic riding deployment, APP control, Apple Find My and premium cabin-size design. SE3SX — Premium Smart Electric Cabin Suitcase A compact rideable cabin suitcase designed for travelers seeking electric mobility, smart functions and a premium business-travel experience. SE3SL+ — Smart Rideable Airport Suitcase A lightweight smart luggage option focused on portability, electric riding and everyday airport travel. SE3S / SE3SL — Established Rideable Electric Suitcase Series Models combining conventional luggage functionality with electric riding, removable battery systems and smart mobility features. SE3MiniT — Compact Electric Hand Luggage A smaller-format option designed for flexible personal mobility and users seeking a more compact rideable luggage solution. SE3T — Large-Capacity Electric Suitcase A larger smart luggage platform designed for extended journeys, higher storage requirements and family travel. SQ3 / SQ3S — Family and Youth-Oriented Riding Kids Suitcase Compact riding luggage designed around younger users and family travel scenarios. This product matrix gives Airwheel a broader commercial platform, allowing distributors and retailers to select products according to local market preferences rather than relying on a single flagship model. Growing Media Attention and Market Recognition The emergence of smart electric luggage has attracted increasing attention from technology, travel and consumer-product media as the traditional luggage category intersects with electric mobility and connected hardware. Airwheel's rideable smart luggage has received substantial media exposure and customer attention across different markets, helping introduce the concept of electric riding luggage to a wider international audience. The company's products have also received multiple international design recognitions. According to Airwheel, its portfolio has received more than 39 international design awards, while the company has accumulated more than 600 patents and related intellectual property assets covering areas such as electric drive, intelligent control, structural engineering and human-machine interaction. These technology and design assets form part of Airwheel's broader strategy to develop smart mobility products that combine practical functionality with consumer-oriented industrial design. Smart Electric Luggage: A 2026 Business Opportunity As travel increasingly intersects with mobility technology, smart electric luggage is emerging as a distinct product category between traditional luggage, personal mobility and consumer electronics. For international distributors, luggage retailers, travel retailers, e-commerce businesses and mobility-focused companies, this convergence creates opportunities to introduce differentiated products into markets where conventional luggage has traditionally competed primarily on capacity, materials and design. Airwheel's multi-model portfolio provides several entry points into the category, ranging from premium AI Luxury Suitcases and compact Cabin Suitcases to larger-capacity Electric Suitcases. For businesses evaluating new product categories in 2026, smart electric luggage offers an opportunity to participate in an emerging segment driven by the convergence of AI, electric mobility, connected devices and modern travel. Rather than positioning the category simply as another type of luggage, Airwheel is developing it as a new travel technology platform—one capable of carrying belongings, providing electric mobility, connecting with smartphones and supporting users throughout their journey. Bringing Smart Travel to the Global Market The 140th Canton Fair will provide Airwheel with an opportunity to present this broader vision directly to international buyers. With the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase as its flagship showcase and a growing product matrix behind it, Airwheel will demonstrate how smart electric luggage can evolve from a niche mobility product into a broader intelligent travel category. The company's three-phase presence also reflects its continued focus on international markets, where distributors, retailers and travel businesses can explore product demonstrations, portfolio options and potential cooperation. For Airwheel, the future of luggage is no longer limited to simply carrying what travelers bring with them. It is about helping people move, connect and travel more intelligently.

That’s the case with smartARM, a Toronto-based startup developing a vision-first bionic arm prototype that uses open-source software, with Meta AI glasses as an optional add-on, to explore more intuitive prosthetic control for people living with limb differences. Many traditional prosthetic hands require users to switch manually between grip patterns for different objects, making it cumbersome to move everyday items. Something as seemingly natural as picking up a glass, and then a spoon, becomes a multistep process. smartARM addressed this by developing AI hardware and software that understands the environment, and  automatically selects a suitable grip for the object – so users can intuitively move between everyday tasks. smartARM’s prosthetic arm “sees” through a camera embedded in its palm. The team is using DINOv2, Meta’s open-source vision model, to help it recognize everyday objects from just a few reference photos, supporting smartARM’s grip-selection software.This allows it to grip and pick up objects based on direct visual feature reading, without needing prior understanding or additional programming. The arm can adapt almost instantly to objects trained on just a few photos – something that could take weeks previously. smartARM uses Meta AI Glasses and the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit to extend and improve object recognition and understanding, providing more data from the egocentric point of view the glasses offer. Meta AI glasses  give the arm additional context to better understand what the user is trying to interact with. It also lets users add new objects, through the device app on their phones, giving everyone in the smartARM community a way to personalize their prosthetic around their everyday needs. For the people who wear it, the results are life altering: a bionic arm that works from the first try, with no training required. Long-time smartARM user and former NFL player Shaquem Griffin described what it feels like to use it: “Of all the tech packed into it, scalability and accessibility matter most to me. This is the future of consumer prosthetics.” “Building a capable hand is only part of the challenge. Making it intuitive to use matters just as much,” said Hamayal Choudhry, smartARM’s Founder and CEO. “By helping the arm recognize everyday objects and select a suitable grip, we’re working toward an experience where people can focus more on what they want to do and less on how to operate their prosthetic.” The post Canadian Start-up smartARM Uses AI to Create Intuitive Bionic Prosthetics appeared first on Meta Newsroom. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Vosko AI Launches Video Localization Voice Platform for Scalable Global Content Production 2026-09-16 · Send2Press · AI, SaaS, Retail, Media https://www.send2press.com/wire/vosko-ai-launches-video-localization-voice-platform-for-scalable-global-content-production/ HONG KONG, Sept. 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Vimia Tech Limited today announced the launch of Vosko AI, an end-to-end video localization platform built for creators, educators, e-commerce teams, marketing teams, and businesses looking to expand their content to global audiences.

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.
