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

She encouraged students to study diligently, develop their skills and contribute to development of the motherland and friendship between Rwanda and China. During the event, Amb. Gao donated educational equipment, including desks, projectors and computers.

At Phase 2, Airwheel is presenting a range of smart rideable 20inch luxury suitcase and engaging with international buyers to explore new market opportunities. Phase 2: Booth 20.2F19–20 Airwheel will also participate in Phase 3, extending its exhibition presence and presenting its broader smart rideable suitcase portfolio alongside its latest product innovations. Phase 3: Booths 20.2J37–38, 20.2K11–12 and 18.1K04 As one of the world's major international trade exhibitions, the Canton Fair provides a platform for businesses to connect with global buyers, exchange market insights and explore new product opportunities. For Airwheel, the response during Phase 1 highlighted growing international interest in smart rideable luxury cabin suitcase as an emerging category of travel equipment. Strong Phase 1 Interest Paves the Way for Continued Engagement During Phase 1 of the 140th Canton Fair, Airwheel showcased multiple smart rideable suitcase models, attracting visitors through live demonstrations, product presentations and hands-on riding experiences. Unlike conventional luggage, Airwheel's smart rideable suitcases integrate electric drive technology, riding controls and intelligent features into a travel-oriented design. By allowing visitors to experience the products firsthand, Airwheel makes their functionality and potential applications easier to understand. Throughout the exhibition, visitors could be seen riding the suitcases around the Airwheel booth and through designated exhibition areas, creating a distinctive presence on the show floor. For many international buyers encountering this product category for the first time, the ability to ride a hand suitcase offered an immediate introduction to Airwheel's approach to travel innovation. The demonstrations prompted product inquiries and further discussions about potential commercial cooperation. Airwheel received positive feedback from buyers across different markets and secured orders and expressions of cooperation interest during Phase 1. These interactions also provided valuable insights into customer expectations and market-specific requirements. Building on this initial response, Airwheel is continuing its engagement with international buyers throughout Phases 2 and 3. Phase 2: Bringing Smart Travel Experiences Closer to Global Buyers From October 23 to 27, Airwheel is exhibiting at Booth 20.2F19–20, presenting several smart rideable suitcase models to international buyers, distributors and trade visitors. The Phase 2 showcase focuses on electric riding, intuitive controls and practical travel applications, giving visitors opportunities to explore the products and discuss their potential in different markets. Among the featured products, the Airwheel SE3SXD Full-Intelligent Ai Electric Cabin Luxury Suitcase represents the brand's latest efforts to advance intelligent functionality and user experience. The SE3SXD supports one-touch riding-mode activation, with an automated mechanism that extends the front wheel and smart riding handle to facilitate the transition into riding mode. Companion app controls and Apple Find My support further expand its connected features, helping position the suitcase as more than a conventional luggage product. From live riding demonstrations to product consultations and business discussions, Airwheel aims to help international buyers better understand the evolving smart rideable suitcase category and evaluate its potential across different travel scenarios. Beyond the Riding Experience: Engineering for Practical Travel While the ability to ride a suitcase is an immediately recognizable feature, its suitability for everyday travel also depends on battery design, structural engineering, storage capacity and charging convenience. Airwheel's smart rideable suitcase is equipped with a removable modular 73.26Wh lithium battery. The battery holds multiple international certifications and complies with global standards, and is permitted for carriage as carry-on baggage on flights. Its detachable design allows users to separate the battery to meet airline and railway regulations for easier security checks before travel. The suitcase bodies use ABS and polycarbonate (PC) composite materials, with structural designs intended to balance riding functionality, everyday storage and luggage protection. Selected models also feature USB output interfaces to provide a convenient way to charge compatible personal electronic devices while traveling. Together, these design considerations support Airwheel's broader effort to develop smart rideable Cabin Luxury suitcases that combine distinctive functionality with practical travel requirements. A Broader Product Portfolio for Different Travel Needs As travel preferences and consumer expectations vary across markets, Airwheel continues to expand its smart rideable suitcase portfolio to address different users, trip lengths and travel scenarios.

The Airwheel SE3SL+, SE3SX and SE3SXD offer a combination of electric riding and connected features. Their riding speeds can reach up to 9.9 km/h under specified operating conditions, while Apple Find My support helps users locate compatible luggage through Apple's ecosystem. Depending on the model, the companion app also provides functions such as speed adjustment, riding-structure control and lighting settings. Positioned across the smart cabin suitcase, electric carry-on and luxury suitcase categories, the SE3S series brings together mobility, travel-oriented design and intelligent functionality in a compact format. SE3T: A 24-Inch Rideable Ai Wheel Suitcase for Larger Packing Needs For travelers who need additional storage capacity, the Airwheel SE3T offers a larger-format alternative. Featuring a 24-inch suitcase body and approximately 48 liters of storage space, the SE3T combines increased packing capacity with electric riding functionality. Its riding speed can reach up to 13 km/h under specified operating conditions. The model provides another option for travelers whose journeys require more luggage space, extending Airwheel's portfolio beyond compact cabin-oriented designs.

The Airwheel SQ3S is designed for children's travel scenarios, with a riding speed of up to 6.5 km/h and interactive features that include audio functionality.

From compact cabin suitcases to larger travel luggage, and from adult-oriented products to children's models, Airwheel continues to develop a differentiated portfolio for diverse consumer needs. Technology Development and International Design Recognition Product innovation depends not only on external design but also on sustained research and development, engineering expertise and industrial design capabilities. Airwheel continues to develop technologies across motion control, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing and structural engineering. The company has accumulated more than 600 global patents, while its trademark portfolio extends across 168 countries and regions, supporting its ongoing development of intelligent mobility products and international brand presence.
