SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 July 2026 - Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, has partnered with GRYPHLINE, the global publishing arm of Hypergryph, as the company expands its reach with the global release of its 3D role-playing game "Arknights: Endfield".

Following the global success of the original "Arknights" mobile game, GRYPHLINE's release of "Arknights: Endfield" represented its first independent, simultaneous global rollout across multiple major platforms, including PlayStation 5 alongside PC, iOS, and Android. As its new flagship title, the launch of this massive multiplatform 3D game has achieved exceptional performance and positive player feedback, marking another milestone for the company.

To support this extensive cross-platform deployment, GRYPHLINE has integrated Adyen's unified commerce solution to manage payments internationally, including Japan, the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, the UK, and South Korea. GRYPHLINE chose Adyen for its deep expertise and extensive gaming industry experience accumulated through close collaborations with top-tier global gaming publishers. This specialized advantage ensures high authorization rates during high-velocity windows, such as game release days and version updates.

To ensure a frictionless player experience, GRYPHLINE has deployed several key modules within the Adyen Uplift suite:

Network Tokens & Real-Time Account Updater: These tools ensure that player payment details remain current and secure, reducing involuntary churn and failed transactions for in-game purchases.

The foundation for this successful launch was built on meticulous preparation. Over a six-month period prior to release, Adyen collaborated closely with GRYPHLINE to build customized risk rules and conduct rigorous live-testing scenarios, which ultimately guaranteed maximum platform stability and high transaction authorization rates from day one.

Following the successful launch, Adyen has continued to stand alongside GRYPHLINE as a long-term partner, providing ongoing support and continuous authorization rate optimizations to ensure sustained peak performance. This enduring collaboration underscores Adyen's commitment to driving long-term success and supporting GRYPHLINE's growth across its expanding global business operations.

With a combined footprint of over 9,000 hectares, the twin developments, Vinhomes Green Paradise in the south and Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long in the north, position Vietnam's real estate sector at the forefront of next-generation ESG++ urbanism, where nature regeneration, smart governance and human-centric design converge at unprecedented scale.

HO CHI MINH CITY / QUANG NINH, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 July 2026 - Vinhomes, Vietnam's leading residential developer, is advancing a new generation of sustainable urban development with two landmark mega-projects located at the country's northern and southern gateways.

Spanning a combined area exceeding 9,000 hectares, Vinhomes Green Paradise (2,870 hectares) in Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, and Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long (6,200 hectares) in Quang Ninh province embody the company's ESG++ philosophy, an approach that extends beyond conventional sustainability to actively regenerate nature while integrating smart urban governance and human-centered design.

A New Generation of Cities Where Growth and Nature Advance Together

As Vietnam strengthens its position as one of Asia's fastest-growing investment destinations, attracting record levels of foreign direct investment and a new generation of international professionals, Vinhomes is pioneering an urban development model that positions nature restoration as the foundation of long-term economic resilience and social prosperity.

According to the World Economic Forum, resilient, nature-positive cities are becoming essential to long-term economic competitiveness as climate resilience, public health and quality of life increasingly influence investment decisions. The Urban Land Institute's Emerging Trends in Real Estate reports consistently identify sustainability, wellness and resilient mixed-use communities as among the strongest drivers of real estate value creation worldwide.

Recognizing this shift, Vinhomes has embraced a philosophy that extends beyond conventional ESG implementation. The company believes sustainable prosperity requires continuously regenerating nature rather than simply preserving what already exists, a vision that has evolved into what it calls an ESG++ approach, combining environmental restoration, smart urban governance and human-centered development at an unprecedented scale.

Vinhomes Green Paradise: A Coastal Urban Wonder in the South

Situated beside the UNESCO-recognised 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, Vinhomes Green Paradise became the first Official Participant recognised by New7Wonders for the global campaign "7 Wonders of Future Cities." The 2,870-hectare development maintains an exceptionally low construction density of just 16%, allowing the majority of the masterplan to remain dedicated to greenery and water.

An 800-hectare natural seawater lagoon forms the ecological heart of the development, while its 121-kilometre shoreline creates one of the world's most distinctive coastal urban landscapes. IoT, artificial intelligence and big data are embedded throughout governance, environmental monitoring and city operations to optimise sustainability and improve everyday urban management. The project integrates internationally benchmarked healthcare, education, senior living, culture, sports and entertainment into a comprehensive ecosystem designed to support every stage of life.

Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long: A Waterfront Megacity in the North

Hundreds of kilometres to the north, Vinhomes is advancing the same philosophy at an even larger scale. Officially breaking ground in April 2026, Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long spans more than 6,200 hectares, making it one of the largest coastal urban developments in Asia. Positioned directly alongside UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay, the project occupies one of the most extraordinary waterfront locations anywhere in the world.

Rather than maximising built density, the masterplan emphasises ecological regeneration. More than 2,500 hectares are dedicated to forests, wetlands and water landscapes, including 680 hectares of naturally filtered sea, 200 kilometres of white-sand coastline, and over 660 hectares of Globe Ha Long Forest Park, creating a vast regenerative ecosystem that complements the surrounding World Heritage environment.

The development is also envisioned to pursue the newly introduced ISO 37125 standard for sustainable urban development, reflecting an ambition to align with an emerging international benchmark for future ESG cities.

The project features a comprehensive "all-in-one" urban ecosystem: six residential districts, including exclusive island communities surrounded entirely by the sea, are complemented by seven globally benchmarked ecosystem clusters spanning culture, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, sports and financial services.

Large-scale amenities include a 60,000-seat waterfront performance arena, the Wonder Theatre, an international convention centre, extensive hospitality facilities, international-standard golf courses, a world-class marina, an integrated shopping mall, professional sports facilities, Vinmec healthcare services, international education institutions, and a new central business district designed to attract global talent and investment.

The same integrated philosophy underpins Vinhomes Green Paradise, where ecological preservation, advanced technology and community wellbeing are designed to reinforce one another within a highly resilient coastal environment.

Collectively, these two mega-projects demonstrate how ESG can evolve beyond regulatory compliance to become a comprehensive framework for urban development, one capable of strengthening Vietnam's international competitiveness not only as one of Asia's fastest-growing economies but also as a destination for sustainable living and long-term investment. Instead of viewing environmental protection as a constraint on growth, Vinhomes positions nature restoration as the foundation of long-term economic resilience, social prosperity and global appeal.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 July 2026 - Against the backdrop of surging global mobility and expanding business travel sectors, densely populated urban residential blocks and commercial buildings have sprung up worldwide. The cross-regional spread and rampant breeding of bed bugs have escalated into a transnational public health concern disrupting residents' daily lives and commercial operations.

Plagued by longstanding technical limitations and rampant service irregularities within the pest control sector, Hong Kong's professional bed bug eradication brand Nobedbugs-HK has emerged as a global industry benchmark through self-developed technologies and over 10,000 verified service cases. Featured extensively in authoritative special reports, the brand delivers a one-stop, long-lasting professional bed bug treatment solution for households and commercial clients worldwide, boasting a 100% eradication success rate powered by its proprietary thermal treatment technology and custom pest control formulations.

Targeting Limitations of Conventional Practices: Nobedbugs-HK Engineers Precision-Driven Bed Bug Remediation Solutions

The pest control industry is marked by uneven entry barriers. Most traditional exterminators rely solely on chemical sprays, which only eliminate surface bed bugs. Eggs and nymphs concealed within wall crevices and furniture remain untouched, failing to resolve infestations at their source and leading to frequent recurrences. This superficial treatment model has triggered a steady stream of consumer complaints and dissatisfaction. Compounding the issue, many pest control firms lack the technical expertise and field experience to address tight spaces or cluttered environments, creating treatment blind spots that compromise eradication efficacy and introduce potential safety hazards during operations.

Contrary to the industry's prevalent profit-driven, perfunctory service model that overpromises underdelivers, Nobedbugs-HK upholds its founding mission of sharing technical expertise to advance the entire sector. Its team regularly conducts technical seminars and exchange programs for property management, hospitality and pest control practitioners across multiple countries and regions. These sessions elaborate on bed bug breeding triggers, transmission pathways, scientific eradication methodologies and routine prevention protocols. The global pest control industry has long grappled with stagnant technology and outdated operational standards. Nobedbugs-HK's cross-border knowledge exchange initiatives bridge regional technical gaps, steering the industry away from crude, slipshod treatment protocols toward rigorous, science-led remediation. These global outreach efforts have also equipped the brand with an extensive international perspective and cross-jurisdictional service expertise.

Driven by proprietary technological innovation and a global operational vision, Nobedbugs-HK has built its market footprint and sterling professional reputation through consistent, reliable eradication results. Its technological breakthroughs and contributions to the industry have garnered coverage from leading international media outlets. This authoritative global recognition underscores overseas markets' high regard for Hong Kong's pest control innovations and validates the city-developed bed bug treatment framework as a benchmark for global adoption.

Self-Developed Thermal Treatment Technology Boosts Bed Bug Remediation Efficiency in High-Rise Buildings

Bed bug control in high-rise structures remains a longstanding technical challenge plaguing pest control professionals worldwide. Conventional extermination methods are only viable for low-rise or open-plan spaces and prove ineffective against the complex structural layouts of high-rises, enabling persistent, recurring bed bug infestations. Addressing this global technical gap, Nobedbugs-HK independently engineered the world's exclusive thermal treatment system and custom operating procedures tailored specifically for high-rise complexes, delivering a transformative solution to this decades-long industry pain point.

A radical departure from traditional chemical pesticide applications, this proprietary technology leverages physical high-temperature treatment to penetrate the most concealed structural recesses. It eliminates 95% of all bed bug life stages-adults, nymphs and deeply embedded eggs-to sever their reproductive cycle at the root. Complemented by the brand's exclusive formulations, the treatment creates a long-lasting residual protective barrier that blocks cross-unit bed bug migration from adjacent premises. Unlike chemical-based extermination, high-temperature thermal treatment leaves zero chemical residues, generates no indoor contamination and poses no harm to human occupants, rendering it ideal for residential complexes, hotels, office towers and shopping malls. It resolves the core challenges of bed bug remediation in high-rise buildings with unmatched precision, with no comparable technology or service available globally to date.

Over 10,000 Cases Inform Standardised Service Protocols

Real-world case outcomes serve as the ultimate metric for gauging technological performance. Many industry players offer no efficacy guarantees and provide virtually non-existent after-sales support, leaving clients burdened with recurring infestations and repeated service fees. To date, Nobedbugs-HK has completed over 10,000 bed bug remediation projects solely within Hong Kong, serving residential properties, five-star hotels, corporate office towers and chain enterprises across diverse urban residential and commercial environments. Backed by its proprietary thermal treatment technology and standardised construction workflows, the brand maintains a flawless 100% permanent eradication track record across all cases, effectively suppressing bed bug resurgence with zero treatment failures. Its proven track record of thousands of successful cases has countered widespread industry malpractice, earning widespread acclaim and positive client testimonials across Hong Kong's online forums and social media platforms.

Beyond its core treatment technology, mainstream commercial pest control products lack targeted efficacy against bed bugs' unique nesting and reproductive traits, a key driver of recurring infestations. Generic formulations fail to counter the pests' elusive hiding instincts and rapid breeding cycles, drastically diminishing treatment outcomes. Drawing on data accumulated from over 10,000 field cases, Nobedbugs-HK independently develops and manufactures custom bed bug control formulations. Iteratively refined for deployment across diverse global environments, these safe, non-toxic and long-lasting products are widely recognised by industry practitioners as the gold standard for bed bug mitigation. The brand delivers bespoke, meticulous bed bug eradication solutions tailored for Hong Kong residents, standing in stark contrast to competing service providers that offer minimal after-sales support.

Industry specialists identify two critical barriers to effective bed bug control: the stringent technical requirements for densely populated premises and the complete elimination of infestations at their source-two persistent flaws that have hindered conventional pest control operations for years. Armed with its one-of-a-kind global thermal treatment technology, in-house proprietary formulations, international operational insights and thousands of successful remediation cases, Nobedbugs-HK comprehensively rectifies the shortcomings of traditional extermination models. Beyond providing permanent relief for household and commercial bed bug infestations, the brand has established a new universal benchmark for the global bed bug control industry.

Showcasing an abundance of fresh gourds, vegetables and premium seasonal seafood, the menu also pays tribute to Macau's culinary heritage through the thoughtful use of ingredients such as shrimp paste by the century-old Kong Hing Loong, reflecting respect for local flavours and traditions.

The former combines sweet local bitter melon with fresh crab meat and crab stock to create a silky, refreshing soup with remarkable depth and elegance.

Finished tableside with the pouring of the fragrant hot broth, the dish delivers both culinary theatre and heart-warming comfort.

The summer menu further celebrates seasonal ingredients such as bitter melon, night-blooming jasmine and winter gourd, alongside premium seafood including young mud crab, fresh abalone, wild grouper and razor clams. Through masterful Cantonese techniques ranging from slow-simmered soups and velvety broths to expertly executed wok-frying, Chef Xu reveals the purest expression of each ingredient.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A mind-blowing patent application submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, by a quantum AI robotics research team sponsored by a veterans organization, working in collaboration with special operations defense and cybersecurity agencies for the QAIAx AI City Hall Project, a federally registered public health clinical trial at the National Institute of Health and National Library of Medicine, is entirely changing what it means to grow old.

Following an earlier program announcement regarding a legal pathway for public-use humanoids and AI agents in an international clinical trial on mental and behavioral health, derived from an AI patent technology originally used for military veterans' claim assistance related to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act-unveiled QAIAx 4E HRR Model Series-a quantum-powered 'digital DNA' to install and transfer among humanoid robots built to permanently live alongside humans under a federally registered smart health cities framework.

The QAIAx Clinical Trial & AI City Hall Framework

This groundbreaking rollout operates directly under the QAIAx Clinical Trial (PRS:NCT07661823), a massive health services research initiative managed by the Veterans Recovery Network. The blueprint details a sprawling municipal network of 300 decentralized Microcities built inside sovereign U.S. Federal and Military Enclaves within the U.S. and particular international sites in accordance with bilateral treaties like the Status of Forces Agreement.

These smart cities will be engineered to support the authorized 1,000,000 registered resident patients and the 'smart city' [enclave] human personnel using a strict 90/10 Hybrid Workforce Model-an AI-friendly global community that affords the majority of living expenses for enrolled residents willing to help evolve the cyber-mind development of agentic robots used for normal life situations.

Under this setup, an automated quantum-computing cloud (e.g., powered by IBM Watson and Google Quantum AI; or Nvidia Vera GPU for offline-intranet activity) manages 90% of all municipal services, including air mixing, water recycling, public utilities, and automated farming.

The remaining 10% is governed by licensed human professional auditors who must use secure FIPS 140-3 hardware security tokens to verify data and sign off on complex clinical or administrative anomalies. The clinical trial evaluates participants across 11 specific interventional groups, focusing on conditions such as PTSD, substance use disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and alternative sentencing and re-entry programs for penal institutions.

Cloned Identities: The Multi-Century Price List

Within these automated smart cities, families can achieve practical immortality for their loved ones. Much like keeping cremation ashes, the TDC Model Code licensing engine enables individuals to permanently preserve a parent's or favorite employee's exact professional and personal identity. While a participant wears an advanced 40-sensor haptic suit, the system maps real-time vitals, motor skills, and expert reflexes into a "Digital DNA" profile.

This asset can be loaded directly into an Omni-AI humanoid robot body or a light-based holographic projection. The profile continues to transfer legally through family estates or corporate trusts, allowing a person's digital self to work, teach, or care for descendants for centuries. The proposed multi-century subscription pricing tiers for this 'human-robot race' (HRR) technology license will include:

100 Years (Century Tier): $300,000 for multi-generational family or corporate trusts.

250 Years (Quarter-Millennium): $600,000 for sovereign entities and large legacy organizations.

500 Years (Half-Millennium): $1,000,000 for perpetual family trusts and foundation continuities.

While only time will tell if the human race survives that long, this tech offers logical hope for "cyber-humanity." To ensure fair access, special fee waivers and reduced subscription rates are set aside for disabled military veterans, retired public responders, war survivors, and educators.

Robot Supply Chain Challenge: Wakanda AI vs. China

To build millions of these advanced humanoids without relying on Chinese manufacturing, the project is launching an independent raw material pipeline. Known as "Wakanda AI Metropolis" in West Africa (stretching across Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Senegal) and "AI Oz" in Western Australia, these hubs secure prime sovereign concessions for raw bauxite, working in conjunction with AI synthetic muscles. This massive shift will move production interests away from China, whose motorized robot factories are predicted to face severe raw material shortages and crippling rare-earth capacity bottlenecks over the next 10 to 25 years.

Formally authorized as a recognized defense RDT&E program, the trial's open enrollment pre-launch phase in October, and a clinical trial waiting list for military veterans that opened in July.

NEW YORK, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flexible Finance, Inc. ("Flex"), the financial technology company behind Flex Rent, today announced it has submitted applications to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions ("UDFI") to charter Flex Bank, a Utah state-chartered industrial bank.

The proposed bank subsidiary would give Flex an FDIC-insured institution to support its products and services as it continues to scale responsibly.

Renters using Flex Rent incur fewer late fees and penalties, see fewer credit inquiries and reduced serious delinquency, and rely less on payday loans and other high-cost credit, with no broader adverse effects on credit scores, delinquency, or collections activity.1 Properties offering Flex Rent see higher on-time rent payment rates, lower short-term delinquency, reduced vacancy, longer resident tenure, and improved net operating income.2

Since 2019, Flex has processed more than $40 billion in rent for more than 3.2 million renters nationwide, helping them avoid more than $780 million in late rent fees to date. Flex for Good, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by Flex and leveraging Flex's technology platform at no cost, has provided more than $1 million in direct rental assistance to more than 800 households nationwide to help prevent evictions.3 Flex maintains unique consumer safeguards that ensure responsible use of credit to manage cash flow and avoid higher cost alternatives and harmful tradeoffs. Flex does not charge late fees, does not compound interest, and does not permit stacking of Flex Rent loans.4 Repayment is due in full before reuse. On time rent payments are reported to Transunion to help renters build their credit history.

The proposed bank would issue Flex's core credit products, including Flex Rent, directly, helping responsibly scale its suite of products and services and providing Flex customers with access to FDIC-insured deposit accounts. This would help Flex expand access to its flexible payment solutions for essential expenses to more customers nationwide. Jeff Berkson, Flex's Chief Banking Officer and former EVP Chief Risk Officer of WebBank, is proposed to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Flex Bank.

"A bank charter allows us to build directly on a foundation of federal deposit insurance and full state and federal bank regulatory oversight, strengthening the products millions of renters already rely on. Rent is the single biggest bill in most people's lives, and it's often the one least adapted to how they're actually paid. This charter gives us a permanent, regulated foundation to keep closing that gap," said Shragie Lichtenstein, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flex.

The proposed bank would be headquartered in the Salt Lake City area and would operate nationally exclusively through digital channels.

About Flex

Flex is a New York-based financial technology company that helps people split large essential bills into smaller, more manageable payments. With over 3.2 million customers to date, Flex has processed more than $40 billion in on-time payments and has earned an average 4.8-star rating across more than 432,000 reviews. Flex provides financial technology services and does not operate as a bank. All loans, lines of credit , banking services, loan disbursements, and payment transmissions are provided by Lead Bank or Column N.A., Members FDIC. Learn more at getflex.com.

MONACO, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Developed by Yacht Club de Monaco under the aegis of the collective 'Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting' initiative, the SEA Index is now recognised for its rigorous CO₂ emissions assessment methodology applied to yacht design.

With more than 130 yachts over 24 meters already certified, it has become an international benchmark for assessing environmental performance in the yachting sector. This latest development is another milestone in the evolution of the SEA Index, as its scientific methodology is now accessible to a much larger segment of the pleasure boat fleet worldwide.

Methodology expanded to include smaller vessels and multihulls

In collaboration with Lloyd's Register, the SEA Index has developed new benchmark models tailored to:

Displacement, semi-displacement, and planing monohulls;

Production catamarans up to 35 meters in length.

The new models are based on an extensive dataset aligned with international maritime energy efficiency principles. It means boats can be compared against benchmarks specific to their design characteristics and operational profiles, ensuring assessments are consistent, comparable and based on objective criteria.

A new milestone for the whole recreational yacht sector

Broadening the SEA Index scope allows many more stakeholders to access this independent certification framework for assessing CO₂ emissions.

In particular:

Shipyards and boat builders can use the tool to integrate environmental considerations from the early design phases;

Owners and buyers have access to clear, reliable and comparable information on CO₂ emissions, regardless of boat size;

Ports, marinas and finance stakeholders can apply harmonised environmental criteria across the whole recreational boating ecosystem.

By expanding its scope beyond superyachts, the SEA Index is supporting a more inclusive and structured transition for the whole recreational boating sector.

"This development marks a significant milestone for the SEA Index and the nautical industry as a whole. By applying our methodology to recreational boats from 10 metres, including production boats and catamarans, we are making environmental assessment more inclusive and accessible. Our goal is to help establish a credible, transparent framework for everyone to support improvements in the environmental performance of the recreational fleet worldwide," explains Bernard d'Alessandri, President of the SEA Index and YCM General Secretary.

"The SEA Index methodology has been refined to better reflect the diverse operational profiles of production yachts and superyachts, and the significant differences in hydrodynamic performance associated with different hull shapes and speed regimes. By benchmarking vessels against specific reference curves, established using rigorous methodologies aligned with IMO decarbonisation measures, the SEA Index offers a fair, transparent, and internationally consistent framework for assessing environmental performance across the entire yachting sector," adds Dr Chris Craddock, Global Lead - Marine Asset and Operational Performance at Lloyd's Register.

A common standard to support recreational yachting's transition

With this expansion, the SEA Index is consolidating its position as a benchmark for environmental assessment by extending its scope beyond superyachts to cover the whole yacht market. By including smaller boats and production models, the SEA Index is helping boost availability of comparable verified data on the sector's CO₂ emissions.

About the SEA Index

Developed by Yacht Club de Monaco, the SEA Index is an environmental performance assessment tool for boats. It is designed to measure and compare their impact using objective, transparent and independently verified criteria. It supports an expanding international network that brings together:

Yacht owners and captains;

Marinas and ports, including 25 in the Mediterranean, Seychelles and Saint-Barth?lemy, and 87 marinas which are members of the Japan Marina & Beach Association;

Maritime ecosystem stakeholders (banks, insurance companies, shipyards and technology companies).

The goal is to encourage continuous improvement based on measurable data to support a more structured and realistic transition for the recreational yachting sector.

RIB Software has achieved two significant milestones in the DACH region. In collaboration with leading construction companies and the German Construction Industry Association, RIB enhanced its ERP solution through a dedicated estimating workstream, delivering measurable improvements in functionality, usability, and performance.

At the same time, the solution was recognized as a Certified Software Solution for purchasing and supply chain management in the public sector after placing in the Top 3 of a German industry challenge. Together, these achievements demonstrate RIB's commitment to customer-driven innovation and developing software that meets the evolving needs of the construction industry.

Stuttgart, Germany, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Award-winning Public Sector ERP System Optimised for Estimating in Construction 

STUTTGART, 20 July 2026. RIB Software, a software vendor for the global Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, reached two milestones within the DACH region optimising their ERP system to meet the needs of the evolving industry. In collaboration with major construction companies, RIB conducted an estimating workstream that resulted in further software developments that match precisely what the industry has been looking for. Simultaneously, the same product won the award of Certified Software Solution for purchasing and supply chain management for the public sector in an industry challenge initiated by the German Federal Ministry for Research, Technology, and Space for one of Germany's major energy companies.

Successful Estimating Workstream The driving force behind the workstream was to optimise the functionality, usability, as well as performance of the software, so that construction projects in this region could be managed more efficiently. Supported by the German Construction Industry Association that represents the needs of large and medium-sized construction companies in Germany, during a close collaboration over roughly a year and a half, concepts were developed, which subsequently went into the product roadmap for RIB's ERP software.

"The direct exchange with experienced users from construction practice proved extremely valuable. It helped us to sharpen priorities and further develop our software products in Estimation in a more focused and deliberate way. The result is visible in measurable enhancements across functionality, usability, and performance. I believe this underlines an important principle in product development: meaningful progress is achieved through structured collaboration with users, combined with a clear focus on execution," says Rolf Helmes, Chief Product Officer at RIB Software.

Industry Challenge ? RIB Places in the Top 3 In February and March this year, 17 participants, including RIB, competed for the honours to be the new software to replace the current ERP system of a major energy company in Germany in the areas of purchasing and supply chain management. RIB was placed in the top 3 and was successfully certified for the public sector in these fields. Scalability, integration, as well as governance and compliance aspects were the focus during the selection process.

Both instances demonstrate the importance of working closely with industry leaders to further develop RIB's software products in a focused, deliberate way. It's an approach that goes back to RIB's roots when products were developed together with leading companies in the industry with a clear goal to optimally fit their needs. This has always been a central theme for RIB across the globe from the early years of the company until now and serves as a basis for the continued success of their software products.

Evgeny Fedotov, Chief Commercial Officer at RIB adds: "It is clear that simply listening carefully to customers helps us make better decisions together. We get to focus on what truly adds value, whether that's usability, performance, or how teams actually work on projects. This is what partnership looks like in practice. Not just talking about transformation but working through it together."

NEW YORK, US - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 July 2026 - On July 15 (EDT, GMT-4), the second semi-final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup took place in Atlanta.

Meanwhile, outside New York New Jersey Stadium, the host venue for this year's World Cup Final, Mengniu, as an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, unveiled a 400-square-meter Chinese Culture Pavilion created in collaboration with multiple partners.

Using football as its bridge, the brand as its platform, and Chinese culture as its heart, the immersive pavilion seamlessly blended the passion of the beautiful game with the elegance of traditional Chinese aesthetics, presenting China's stories to a global audience on one of the world's greatest sporting stages.

Mengniu's Chinese Culture Pavilion Debuts at the FIFA World Cup, Showcasing Chinese Culture to the World

On the pitch, a single football captures the attention of billions. Beyond the stadium, civilizations come together through cultural exchange.

The Mengniu Chinese Culture Pavilion marks the first comprehensive international presentation of Beijing Central Axis since its inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and debuts at one of the world's premier sporting events. Inspired by the architectural aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture and the spatial order of Beijing Central Axis, the pavilion follows a symmetrical layout centered on a principal axis.

At its entrance stands the monumental painting Magnificent Central Axis, offering a panoramic bird's-eye view of Beijing's historic Central Axis while conveying, through artistic expression, the Eastern philosophy and cultural values it embodies. As visitors explore the pavilion, football fans from around the world pause to experience its interactive exhibits, immersing themselves in the richness of Chinese traditional culture. Standing outside New York New Jersey Stadium, the pavilion continues to tell vivid, contemporary stories of China to a global audience.

Beyond Football: Mengniu Elevates Cultural Exchange on the World Cup Stage

For Mengniu, building a Chinese Culture Pavilion at this FIFA World Cup reflects a deeper understanding of the powerful connection between sport and cultural exchange. Mengniu believes that the FIFA World Cup is not only the pinnacle of football competition but also a global platform where diverse civilizations meet, connect, and learn from one another. As an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup from China, Mengniu sees it as both an opportunity and a responsibility to share China's stories and showcase the richness of Chinese civilization with audiences worldwide.

This commitment extends beyond football. During the Paris Summer Olympic Games and the Milan Winter Olympic Games, Mengniu, as a Worldwide Olympic Partner (TOP), continuously hosted its signature "China Night" events, integrating Chinese culture into the narrative of the world's most prestigious sporting competitions.

Beyond a Pavilion: Mengniu's Multi-Dimensional Presence at the FIFA World Cup

As an Official Sponsor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mengniu's presence extends far beyond traditional brand visibility. Its participation represents a comprehensive global strategy that integrates products, brand values, and corporate social responsibility.

On the product front, Mengniu Ice Cream has officially become the Official Ice Cream of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Mengniu Ice Cream is available at all tournament venues and has simultaneously expanded into 11 major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles and New York. By bringing world-class-quality products to international consumers, Mengniu continues to strengthen the commercial foundation for its global growth.

At the brand level, together with global brand ambassadors Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Lamine Yamal, Mengniu brings its corporate spirit, "Born for Greatness," to life on football's biggest stage. The company has also partnered with Hisense to launch a series of coordinated Chinese-character pitch-side advertising campaigns during the tournament. Moving beyond individual brand promotion, the two companies present a united expression of Chinese brands, confidently demonstrating the growing global influence of Chinese enterprises.

In terms of corporate social responsibility, Mengniu not only brings Chinese culture to the international stage but also demonstrates the commitment of a responsible Chinese enterprise through meaningful public initiatives. At the opening match of this year's FIFA World Cup, six teenage footballers from Inner Mongolia were selected by Mengniu to escort the FIFA flag onto the field, creating an inspiring example of how businesses can promote youth football development while fulfilling their social responsibilities.

From a glass of milk on store shelves to a cultural journey within the pavilion, Mengniu's World Cup presence reflects the remarkable evolution of Chinese enterprises on the global stage. Looking ahead, Mengniu will continue to leverage the world's premier sporting events to advance health, boost brand power, strengthen global presence, and fulfill social responsibilities, contributing the strength of

China's dairy industry to sharing China's stories and showcasing the enduring appeal of Chinese civilization with the world.

*Novum Studio has raised a new round of funding to launch Ahoy Project, its enterprise AI solution, with internal testing scheduled for July 2026.

*Ahoy Project is positioned as the infrastructure for AI-native enterprise transformation - an AI-native communication platform serving as the underlying system, delivered as an end-to-end tailored solution.

*The launch expands the company beyond Frog, its Gen Z consumer social app that has reached 20 million users across the U.S. and Europe.

*Novum Studio said it is applying lessons from operating high-frequency social platforms at scale to workplace communication and knowledge systems.

NEW YORK, USA - Media OutReach Newswire - 24 July 2026 - Novum Studio, the company behind Frog - a Gen Z social app often described as a "new-generation Snapchat" - said it has raised a new round of funding and will use the proceeds to launch Ahoy Project, an AI-native enterprise communication and collaboration platform, with internal testing scheduled for July 2026.

Unlike conventional workplace software, Ahoy Project will not be sold as a standalone software subscription, the company said. Novum Studio provides the infrastructure and a full tailored solution for enterprises undergoing AI-native transformation, with the communication platform serving as the underlying system on which that transformation is built.

Founded as a consumer social company, Novum Studio has reached more than 20 million users across the U.S. and Europe. Frog gained traction among younger users through spontaneous, real-time sharing designed around authenticity and low-pressure interaction. The company said its experience building large-scale social "spaces" - where millions of people communicate, form groups and coordinate in real time - directly informs its approach to enterprise collaboration.

The new funding will support the launch and international expansion of the enterprise business as artificial intelligence reshapes how organizations communicate, collaborate and operate, the company said.

Novum Studio was founded by Anna Danyi, who graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2018 and began her career in consulting and technology. Before founding Novum Studio, she built multiple consumer applications and exited through an acquisition. In 2025, Forbes China recognized her among the Top 100 most influential global Chinese figures in AI digital products area.

"We spent years understanding how millions of users communicate online," Anna Danyi said. "In the AI era, communication itself is becoming intelligent. We believe the next generation of platforms will not only connect people - they will understand workflows, collaboration and organizational behavior."

From Consumer Social to Enterprise AI

Modern organizations face growing challenges as critical knowledge, decisions and workflows become fragmented across chats, meetings and disconnected tools, the company said. Ahoy Project addresses this as a conversation-driven, AI-native collaboration layer: it captures context from day-to-day communication to build a searchable enterprise knowledge base and support workflow coordination.

Core capabilities include conversation-based knowledge organization, AI-assisted collaboration and workflow support integrated directly into team communication. Because the platform sits at the layer where work is discussed and decided, it can serve as the foundation for a broader AI-native operating model - with Novum Studio designing and delivering the surrounding transformation solution for each enterprise client.

A New Direction for Social Technology

Novum Studio said its expansion reflects a broader shift across the technology industry. Platforms such as TikTok and Instagram defined how content was distributed and consumed in the mobile social era; as AI becomes embedded in digital products, the company believes the next stage will center less on feeds and more on intelligent systems that understand communication and coordination.

"We are no longer just building products where people post content," Anna Danyi said. "We are building systems that understand how humans communicate and operate together."

About Novum Studio

Novum Studio is the technology company behind Frog, a Gen Z social app with more than 20 million users across the U.S. and Europe. The company is expanding into enterprise AI with Ahoy Project, providing the infrastructure and tailored solutions that enable organizations to become AI-native.

The next AI cloud product is not a GPU hour: TokenVisor Spaces packages AMD EPYC CPU agent execution and AMD Instinct GPU inference into governed, auditable agent services

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Timed with AMD Advancing AI 2026, Embedded LLM, an agentic inference infrastructure company in the AMD Instinct AI & HPC Software Ecosystem and a Red Hat ecosystem partner, today launched TokenVisor Spaces for AMD-powered AI clouds and enterprises.

The announcement aligns to the event's focus on AI infrastructure, enterprise deployment, developers, customers, and partners: TokenVisor Spaces is designed to help AI cloud operators turn AMD-powered systems into governed agentic AI services.

The business case is simple: agents do not only generate tokens. They need somewhere to run tools, browsers, code, files, queues, approvals, and enterprise workflows - and that work runs where enterprise software already lives: x86-64. They need policy, metering, and audit before enterprises will put them in production. And they need fast, governed access back to model inference.

TokenVisor Spaces provides exactly that on AMD server infrastructure: agent execution on AMD EPYC x86 CPUs, model inference on AMD Instinct GPUs, policy and metering through TokenVisor, and replayable workspaces that enterprises can audit and operate. For AI clouds, it is a way to sell more than raw GPU hours: governed agent services. For enterprises, it allows agents to work with existing applications inside isolated containers on infrastructure they control.

"The next AI cloud product is not a GPU hour. It is a governed agent service," said Ghee Leng Ooi, CEO of Embedded LLM. "TokenVisor Spaces turns AMD-powered infrastructure into a place where agents can actually work: execute tools, persist state, follow policy, leave traces, and connect back to high-performance inference. Agentic AI runs where enterprise software runs, and that makes the CPU plus GPU platform the center of the next AI cloud."

Partner Deployment Path

Validated on Red Hat OpenShift, TokenVisor Spaces gives enterprises isolated agent sandboxes with governed LLM access. OpenShift manages containers and GPUs; TokenVisor enforces entitlements, routing, budgets, rate limits, metering, and auditability. Embedded LLM is listed in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.

"Agentic AI requires a balanced compute platform that brings CPU-based execution and GPU-accelerated inference together," said Dan McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, Compute and Enterprise AI, AMD. "By combining AMD EPYC processors and AMD Instinct accelerators, TokenVisor Spaces shows how ecosystem software can help cloud providers and enterprises deploy open, governed agent services on infrastructure they control."

"Modern AI infrastructure needs a balanced CPU plus GPU platform. AMD EPYC processors provide host-node performance, memory bandwidth, high-performance I/O, efficiency, and GPU ecosystem compatibility for GPU-accelerated AI systems, while AMD Instinct GPUs deliver the acceleration needed for large-scale inference. Embedded LLM's TokenVisor Spaces show how ecosystem software can bring these two planes together for production agentic AI on AMD-powered infrastructure."

What TokenVisor Spaces Provides

TokenVisor Spaces gives each agent a controlled workspace on customer-managed infrastructure. Each capability answers something agents need that raw infrastructure does not provide:

Agents run for days, not single requests. Spaces provides persistent x86-64 workspaces for long-running, multi-turn agents.

Agents execute real code against real systems. Spaces provides isolated execution for shell, files, code, browser automation, and tools.

Agents take actions enterprises cannot let run unattended. Spaces provides human approval workflows for sensitive actions.

Agents fail in ways someone must be able to reconstruct. Spaces provides replayable event history for review, debugging, audit, and evaluation.

Agents consume models continuously. Spaces provides governed model access through TokenVisor, including agent guardrails, policy, metering, routing, and usage controls.

Agentic inference is making data movement part of the performance path.

Long-context agents need their accumulated context back on every turn without paying full prefill each time. The market evidence is already public: SemiAnalysis reported that across 1.5M+ of its own Claude Code requests, roughly 95% of all tokens were cache reads, cutting its prompt-token bill by about 84%. Agentic inference economics are cache economics - and the cache has to live somewhere with more capacity than GPU HBM.

Embedded LLM has validated the model-plane data path for exactly this on AMD Instinct MI355X. In a production-shaped synthetic agentic replay, storage-backed KV-cache reuse using vLLM, a KV-cache management layer, AMD hipFile/GDS, and native local NVMe delivered 3.31x lower warm-turn median latency and 2.23x faster total wall-clock time versus a matched vLLM HBM prefix-cache baseline.*

Embedded LLM is collaborating with VAST Data and Tensormesh for platform-scale KV-cache reuse, agent state, trace capture, replay/evaluation, and RL data.

"KV-cache reuse is what makes long-running, multi-turn agents economically viable," said Kuntai Du, Chief Scientist and Co-founder at Tensormesh. "By adopting LMCache, Embedded LLM brings that infrastructure to more of the AI cloud market, giving agents persistent, reusable context so they run faster, are more cost-effective, save energy and stay auditable at scale."

"Agentic AI requires infrastructure that can efficiently manage context, data, and state across long-running AI workflows," said Anat Heilper, Director of AI Architecture at VAST Data. "Our collaboration with Embedded LLM helps bring the VAST AI Operating System to AMD-powered AI environments, giving customers the persistent data foundation they need to scale production AI with greater performance and efficiency."

WUHU, China, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LEPAS, the mid-to-premium NEV brand under Chery Auto, has introduced the LEPAS L8 PHEV to global markets, bringing a new interpretation of elegant mobility through advanced hybrid technology, intelligent driving, and refined design.

Inspired by the composure, precision, and resilience demonstrated by champions on the global football stage, the LEPAS L8 PHEV combines the brand's signature "Leopard Aesthetics" design philosophy with the LEPAS Super Hybrid system, offering confident performance, extended range, and a sophisticated driving experience for consumers seeking intelligent and elegant mobility solutions worldwide.

Beyond victory and defeat, both teams embodied the champion's spirit - a fusion of composure and resilience. This resonates with the core values of the upcoming LEPAS L8 PHEV, a model poised to make its mark on the global NEV stage with all-around strength.

Leopard Aesthetics - Where Strength Meets Elegance

Throughout the final, Spain's fluid passing and movement, contrasted with Argentina's tenacious and resilient resistance, presented a compelling balance of power and elegance. This echoed perfectly with LEPAS's signature "Leopard Aesthetics" design philosophy. The LEPAS L8 PHEV draws inspiration from the leopard's stretched, agile stride, striking a balance between untamed power and understated sophistication. It mirrors the two finalists - one commanding the game with fluid rhythm, the other holding their ground with resilience. Leopard Aesthetics embodies the coexistence of strength and sophistication, creating a design language that is confident and elegant.

The Leopard Avant-Garde Front Face, paired with Leopard Dynamic Shoulder Line, conceals a sharp tension beneath its smooth contours. The Leopard Silhouette Through-Type LED Taillight, when illuminated, streaks across the night like a leopard's fleeting shadow, creating a interplay of motion and stillness. Customized paint finishes, such as Norwegian Forest Green and Provence Purple, are crafted through a seven-layer painting process to achieve a refined, understated texture with a recognizable visual identity. This design language - both fluid and powerful - ensures the vehicle stands out with an elegant character, whether navigating city streets or open roads.

The interior continues this philosophy of strength and elegance. A class-leading 2800mm wheelbase creates an airy, spacious, wraparound cabin, where flowing lines soften the cold precision of modern engineering. An active fragrance system, AQS air quality monitoring, UV-blocking and heat-insulating glass, cloud-comfort lounge seats, and a theater-class serene cabin work together to create a refined sanctuary from the outside world. Together, they bring the composed and relaxing travel experience, bringing the same sense of confidence and comfort found in championship performance to every journey.

LEPAS Super Hybrid - Confidence Across Every Journey

On the pitch, championship team proved that success comes not from a single style, but from the ability to adapt. Whether controlling the rhythm of the game or responding calmly under pressure, true champions remain composed in every situation. This is the philosophy behind the LEPAS L8 PHEV, delivering confident, well-balanced performance across every driving scenario.

image2

The LEPAS L8 PHEV is powered by the LEPAS Super Hybrid system, featuring a dedicated hybrid engine with an industry-leading thermal efficiency of 45.79% and a dedicated hybrid transmission with 97.6% transmission efficiency. It achieves an ultra-low comprehensive fuel consumption of just 2.38L/100 km and a comprehensive range of up to 1,300 kilometers under NEDC conditions. Paired with 40kW DC fast charging, the battery can be replenished from 30% to 80% while you enjoy a cup of coffee. Whether navigating urban commutes, business trips, or long-distance journeys, it adapts seamlessly to every scenario, easing range anxiety and delivering a confident driving experience.

Comprehensive Safety and Intelligent Protection - A Solid Defense with Agile Response

"Attack wins you games, but defense wins you championships." Throughout this tournament, Spain's defense was impregnable, conceding just one goal across the entire competition, while Argentina's multi-layered defensive network was equally among the strongest on display. Both teams fully demonstrated the art of defense ? and this is precisely the philosophy behind how the LEPAS L8 PHEV safeguards its users' elegant journeys.

image3

The LEPAS L8 PHEV features a cage-style body constructed with a high proportion of high-strength steel, equipped with up to 10 airbags to ensure the cabin integrity during a collision and provide comprehensive protection for every occupant.

The power battery incorporates triple battery safety protection with IP68/IPX9K ratings that effectively prevent water and dust ingress. This enables the vehicle to confidently handle complex road conditions such as flooded streets and unpaved surfaces, building a solid safety foundation for every journey.

On the intelligent front, the LEPAS L8 PHEV is equipped with a Level 2 ADAS (Intelligent Driving Assistance System), integrating a 540? panoramic transparent imaging, APA/RPA automatic parking, and over twenty functions including forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, and rear cross traffic braking. These technologies ensure driving safety and convenience, much like a steadfast defense on the pitch, guarding every journey from start to finish.

Every championship leaves behind more than a result. The young Spanish squad perfectly demonstrated how composure and teamwork can command the game, while the Argentine side showed unwavering determination, with Messi's relentless drive under pressure standing as a testament to passion and resilience. As the final whistle fades, the journey continues. With the upcoming LEPAS L8 PHEV, LEPAS remains committed to bringing elegant mobility to every road ahead.
