Mr. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI)

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 July 2026 - Thailand's foreign and domestic investment applications surged 37% year-on-year to hit $43.6 billion (approx. 1.47 trillion baht) across 1,299 projects in the first half of 2026, driven by a massive wave of capital flowing into digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

The surge comes even as the global economy faces real headwinds - geopolitical tensions, energy price volatility, and the restructuring of global supply chains - with Thailand emerging as a preferred base for investment across Southeast Asia.

Leading the capital influx is the digital sector, which reached a commanding $33 billion (approx. 1.12 trillion baht) in investment applications.

"Thailand's investment growth held steady even as the world economy faced real turbulence," said Mr. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI). "This reflects strong investor confidence in Thailand's potential as a base for the industries of the future."

This digital windfall was accompanied by robust capital commitments across other high-value industries. The electrical appliances and electronics sector drew $3.56 billion (approx. 120.2 billion baht) across 179 projects, while agriculture and food processing secured $1.82 billion (approx. 61.4 billion baht) across 131 projects. Additionally, logistics and high-value services attracted $1.19 billion (approx. 40.2 billion baht) across 170 projects, and the automotive sector drew $759.2 million (approx. 25.7 billion baht) across 122 projects.

Other notable sectors included mining, metals and materials at $603.5 million (approx. 20.4 billion baht) across 128 projects, chemicals and petrochemicals at $489.1 million (approx. 16.5 billion baht) across 110 projects, and machinery, automation and robotics at $387.4 million (approx. 13.1 billion baht) across 82 projects, signaling broad-based industrial modernization.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) applications drove the bulk of the growth, skyrocketing 80% year-on-year to $40.5 billion (approx. 1.37 trillion baht) across 877 projects.

Singapore emerged as the top source of FDI, filing applications worth $33.2 billion (approx. 1.12 trillion baht) across 158 projects. The United Kingdom followed as the second-largest investor at $1.40 billion (approx. 47.2 billion baht) across 11 projects, with China close behind at $1.35 billion (approx. 45.8 billion baht) across 321 projects, Taiwan at $1.12 billion (approx. 38.0 billion baht) across 47 projects, and Japan at $970.1 million (approx. 32.8 billion baht) across 123 projects.

These investments remain heavily concentrated in digital technology - including data centers, data hosting, and cloud services - followed by electronics and electrical appliances such as optical transceivers, printed circuit boards, hard disk drives, and data-center networking and cooling systems, along with humanoid robotics parts, automotive parts, food and beverage, and advanced materials. Geographically, Thailand's industrialized Central region claimed the largest share of capital at $26.7 billion (approx. 903.8 billion baht) across 513 projects, followed by the Eastern region at $14.7 billion (approx. 495.7 billion baht). The Northeastern, Southern, Western, and Northern regions each drew smaller totals, but the North stood out with investment value up 93 percent year-on-year, led by energy and utilities, agriculture and food processing, and medical projects.

To support the massive power requirements of next-generation data centers, Thailand is seeing a parallel surge in renewable energy infrastructure. The energy and utilities sector recorded 221 projects worth $1.17 billion (approx. 39.5 billion baht) during the first half of the year, dominated by 198 clean energy initiatives-including solar, wind, biomass, and biogas power plants-valued at $779.7 million (approx. 26.4 billion baht).

Concurrently, manufacturers are investing in automation to remain competitive on the global stage. Under the BOI's "Smart and Sustainable Industry" initiative, companies submitted 132 applications valued at $507.6 million (approx. 17.2 billion baht) to upgrade machinery, adopt digital technology, and integrate automation and robotics into production and services, raising productivity and moving Thai industry toward higher-value, sustainable manufacturing.

The projects approved by the BOI in the first half of 2026 will generate over 82,000 jobs for Thai workers and consume approximately $11.4 billion (approx. 386 billion baht) in domestic raw materials annually, accounting for 42 percent of the projects' total raw material use, and is expected to boost the nation's export capacity by more than $36.8 billion (approx. 1.24 trillion baht) per year.

The BOI approved investment promotion applications for 1,300 projects valued at $38.7 billion (approx. 1.31 trillion baht) in the first half of 2026.

"Investment value is not the only goal," Mr. Narit said. "Real success means quality jobs, higher skills, and better income for Thai workers." "It means real opportunities for Thai businesses inside the supply chain, and growth that reaches every region, not just a few. That is why we will keep pushing for actual investment to happen as quickly as possible through the Thailand FastPass mechanism, driving economic growth and letting Thai people share directly in the shift to the industries of the future."

Note: Currency conversions are based on the Bank of Thailand's average selling rate of approximately 1 USD = 33.80 THB.

Established in 1966, the Office of the Board of Investment (BOI) has continuously played an essential role for over 60 years in promoting value-adding investment for the country, from both foreign and Thai investors, to enhance national competitiveness and drive towards a new era of sustainable and balanced growth.

The APO-supported roadmap aims to help Cambodia's national productivity institution become more capable, evidence driven, future ready, and implementation focused

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Royal Government of Cambodia received the Institutional Capability Development Plan for the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia during an official handover ceremony at the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation (MISTI) in Phnom Penh on 22 July 2026.

The report was formally handed over by the Secretary-General of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO), Dr. Indra Pradana Singawinata, to the Minister of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation, H.E. Hem Vanndy.

Developed with APO support, the Institutional Capability Development Plan (ICDP) provides a structured pathway for strengthening the institutional capability of the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia (NPCC), Cambodia's national productivity institution. It builds on Cambodia's long-standing engagement with the APO and the APO-supported National Productivity Master Plan developed in 2018, moving beyond national productivity strategy development to institutional capability building for implementation.

The handover comes at an important moment for Cambodia as the country prepares to graduate from least developed country status in 2029 and seeks to sustain competitiveness through productivity, innovation, digital transformation, green growth, industrial upgrading, and economic resilience. In this context, a stronger NPCC will be essential to translate national productivity priorities into practical services, measurable results, and sustained improvements for enterprises, public institutions, and other stakeholders.

The ICDP was informed by a diagnostic assessment, stakeholder consultations, and institutional analysis. It recognizes the foundation that the NPCC has built through productivity promotion, capacity building, the 5S Award, enterprise-oriented initiatives, and APO-related programs while identifying the next level of institutional strengthening required for the NPCC to deliver greater impact.

"The true value of this development plan will depend on implementation. With sustained leadership from MISTI, strong ownership by the NPCC, adequate human and financial resources, effective partnerships, and disciplined monitoring of progress, the NPCC can further strengthen its role as Cambodia's national productivity institution and make a deeper contribution to the country's long-term competitiveness, innovation, and prosperity," said APO Secretary-General Dr. Indra.

In his remarks, H.E. Hem Vanndy emphasized that the ICDP would strengthen Cambodia's productivity ecosystem by enhancing the NPCC's institutional capacity and its ability to support government agencies, enterprises, and factories in improving productivity, product quality, and operational efficiency.

Um Serivuth, Director of the NPCC, noted that the ICDP would provide the NPCC with a clearer pathway for strengthening its institutional systems, services, partnerships, and results-oriented approach to productivity improvement across Cambodia.

The development plan sets out three mutually reinforcing reform categories: strengthening institutional and governance foundations; strengthening organizational systems and human capabilities; and enhancing service effectiveness, stakeholder engagement, and results-based management. These categories are supported by 10 reform actions and a three-year capability pathway designed to support the NPCC's evolution into a more capable, trusted, evidence-driven, and future-ready national productivity institution.

The report also emphasizes that productivity improvement cannot be achieved through activity expansion alone. It calls for clearer institutional purpose, stronger governance and management systems, a more demand-responsive service model, deeper technical capabilities, more strategic partnerships, and a shift from measuring activities to demonstrating productivity results.

Through the ICDP, the NPCC is expected to strengthen its ability to support firms and public institutions in identifying productivity constraints, adopting practical solutions, improving service quality, and using evidence to guide continuous improvement. The plan is also intended to position the NPCC to respond to emerging priorities such as green transformation, digital adoption, industrial upgrading, and enterprise competitiveness.

Dr. Indra expressed appreciation for the leadership and substantive contributions of MISTI, the NPCC, participating ministries, private sector representatives, development partners, and other stakeholders throughout the diagnostic, consultation, validation, and preparation process. He also reaffirmed the APO's readiness to continue supporting Cambodia through agreed technical cooperation, knowledge exchange, capacity development, and access to regional and international productivity expertise as the development plan moves toward implementation.

The APO looks forward to continued collaboration with MISTI, the NPCC, and Cambodian stakeholders in advancing productivity-led growth and building institutional capabilities that support Cambodia's long-term development aspirations.

About the ICDP for the NPCC

The Institutional Capability Development Plan for the National Productivity Centre of Cambodia is an APO-supported institutional development publication prepared to guide the strengthening of the NPCC's mandate, governance, organizational systems, human resources, service delivery model, partnerships, and performance management practices.

About the Asian Productivity Organization

The Asian Productivity Organization is an intergovernmental organization established in 1961 to promote productivity as a key enabler of socioeconomic development and organizational and enterprise growth. The APO supports national productivity organizations, promotes productivity improvement tools and methodologies, conducts research, and disseminates productivity-related knowledge across its 21 members.

As major medical societies call for mandatory adoption of Enhanced Radiation Protection Devices (ERPDs), the EggNest Complete system emerges as the definitive solution to protect the entire clinical team

MINNEAPOLIS, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Egg Medical, a global leader in radiation protection, announced its alignment with the landmark expert consensus statement published in JSCAI. This historic document declares that traditional reliance on heavy lead aprons is no longer an acceptable standard, calling for urgent changes to protect clinical staff.

Earlier this year, SCAI launched its ALARA+ initiative to update the interpretations of federal ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable) regulations. With modern ERPDs, what is considered reasonable must evolve.

"For decades, the interventional community has accepted the risks of cancer, cataracts and orthopedic injury as inevitable consequences of an interventional career. I, like many others, paid the toll for wearing heavy, protective lead aprons over the years. These very real and dangerous risks must no longer be ignored," said Dr. Dean Kereiakes, co-author of the consensus statement and Chairman of The Christ Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute.

"This multi-society consensus statement presents a mandate that with the availability of ERPDs such as EggNest Complete, workplace safety is no longer an option, but instead, a moral imperative going forward."

EggNest Complete 360 Degree Team Wide Safety Solutions

The EggNest Complete, is designed specifically to overcome these traditional barriers:

360 Degree Protection: The system provides integrated 360-degree protection around the table, safeguarding everyone.

Zero Workflow Disruption: It integrates directly into the existing table, eliminating floor clutter, and tripping hazards common with rolling shields.

Eliminates Construction: EggNest Complete requires no ceiling construction or lab downtime, something unique to Egg Medical. Labs remain fully operational, deploying safety without any clinical interruption and saving the hospital money.

Apron-Free Options: EggNest data supports the use of no lead aprons or ultralight lead aprons, depending on the clinician's personal choice.

Egg Medical delivers a solution that meets ALARA+ standards, helping hospitals protect their most valuable assets-their people.

Media & Supporting Resources:

Audio Segment: Listen to Dr. Dean Kereiakes discuss the consensus statement on SiriusXM's Doctor Radio (Channel 110 / NYU Langone Health).

WUHU, Tiongkok, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seiring turnamen sepak bola AS-Kanada-Meksiko 2026 memasuki fase gugur yang menentukan, LEPAS menghadirkan model L8 terbarunya ke pasar global. Melalui Intelligent LEX Platform yang dikembangkan secara eksklusif, L8 mencerminkan kendali, presisi, dan penguasaan layaknya pemain terbaik dalam mengatur jalannya pertandingan.

LEPAS L8 dirancang bagi pengemudi yang mengutamakan keanggunan dan rasa percaya diri, ketimbang karakter agresif. Model ini memadukan transmisi hibrida khusus DHT230 dengan jarak tempuh gabungan sekitar 1.300 kilometer. Dinamika sasisnya disetel khas Eropa.

Dari aspek teknologi, L8 dilengkapi sistem bantuan berkendara cerdas untuk berbagai kondisi jalan dan teknologi parkir otomatis yang canggih. Kabinnya menghadirkan Pengalaman Sensorik Elegan Lima Dimensi. Seluruh teknologi ini menetapkan standar baru bagi mobilitas cerdas, berkelas, penuh percaya diri, dan terkendali di seluruh dunia.

Menengok kembali pertandingan fase grup, momen yang paling menyita perhatian dunia datang dari sang maestro legendaris yang telah berlaga di lapangan hijau selama dua dekade. Beliau kini berhasil mencapai puncak daftar pencetak gol terbanyak sepanjang masa. Selebrasinya mencerminkan gaya permainannya di lapangan-tenang, terkendali, dan tidak pernah mencari sorotan dengan cara yang berlebihan, tetapi tetap mampu membuat dunia terkesan.

Para maestro yang elegan di lapangan memang selalu seperti itu. Mereka tidak mengandalkan kekuatan semata. Setiap sentuhan dan operan dilakukan secara presisi dan terkendali, ibarat langkah bidak catur yang diperhitungkan dengan matang. Keanggunan menjadi bagian yang tak terpisahkan dari teknik permainan mereka. Mereka tahu kapan harus menghemat tenaga dan kapan harus memanfaatkan momentum, membuat bola meluncur di atas lapangan tepat sesuai kehendak-selalu terkendali dan tetap gesit. Inilah yang ingin diwujudkan melalui Intelligent LEX Platform milik LEPAS: menyeimbangkan antara efisiensi energi dan karakter berkendara yang elegan sehingga setiap akselerasi dan setiap tikungan dapat dilalui dengan kendali yang tetap terjaga.

Presisi, Dirancang dengan Keanggunan

Mobilitas elegan tidak terlepas dari sistem penggerak yang efisien, bersih, dan andal. Layaknya pengatur permainan di lapangan yang dengan ahli mengendalikan ritme serangan dan pertahanan, ia tahu persis kapan harus melaju dengan kekuatan penuh dan kapan harus menahan tempo, menjaga penguasaan bola, serta menghemat energi. Setiap keputusan diambil dengan perhitungan matang, dan setiap transisi menunjukkan kendali yang tetap terjaga.

Intelligent LEX Platform yang dikembangkan khusus oleh LEPAS menghadirkan "tiga keunggulan teknologi utama" sekaligus, yaitu performa, jarak tempuh, dan peningkatan kenyamanan berkendara. Transmisi hibrida khusus DHT230 menghadirkan karakter yang presisi dan terkendali, layaknya operan yang akurat dan penguasaan bola yang terjaga, sehingga mampu mencapai keseimbangan optimal antara tenaga dan efisiensi energi. LEPAS L8 menawarkan jarak tempuh gabungan hingga sekitar 1.300 kilometer, menandingi ketahanan luar biasa sosok legendaris asal Portugal dan membuat kekhawatiran soal jarak tempuh benar-benar menjadi cerita masa lalu.

Sementara itu, sasis yang disetel secara presisi oleh tim spesialis Eropa dan dipadukan dengan kontrol elektronik cerdas menghadirkan karakter berkendara yang tenang dan terkendali-tidak terasa agresif saat berakselerasi dan tidak limbung saat pengereman. Hal ini mengingatkan pada seorang bintang sepak bola yang bergerak melintasi lapangan dengan kepiawaian yang tampak begitu alami. Baik saat melakukan perubahan arah yang tajam maupun sprint eksplosif, ia selalu menjaga pusat gravitasi tetap rendah dan postur yang luwes, serta menguasai permainan dengan tenang dan penuh kendali dalam setiap gerak maupun jeda.

Teknologi Bukan Sekadar Unjuk Kemampuan-Melainkan Tentang Kendali dan Ketenangan

Di lapangan, pertandingan fase grup tidak pernah hanya ditentukan oleh ketajaman lini serang semata. Penentu sejauh mana sebuah tim kuat dapat melangkah sebenarnya adalah kemampuan lini tengah dalam mengendalikan tempo permainan serta kokohnya sistem pertahanan. Menjaga transisi antara menyerang dan bertahan tetap mulus dan tenang jauh lebih menantang daripada sekadar meningkatkan tempo setiap kali ada kesempatan. Hal yang sama berlaku di fase gugur: tim terbaik bukan hanya mereka yang mampu berlari lebih cepat, tetapi mereka yang tetap mampu mengambil keputusan yang tepat di bawah tekanan besar.

Sistem bantuan berkendara cerdas untuk berbagai kondisi yang didukung Intelligent LEX Platform bekerja seperti konduktor yang mengatur ritme seluruh permainan. Sistem ini tetap stabil saat melaju pada kecepatan tinggi dan tetap tenang dalam lalu lintas perkotaan yang padat merayap.

Sistem parkir cerdas canggih yang mencakup berbagai skenario bekerja layaknya sebuah umpan presisi yang berbuah gol. Didukung oleh sistem persepsi cerdas yang komprehensif dan kemampuan komputasi berpresisi tinggi, sistem ini dapat mengenali ruang parkir secara akurat, menghindari rintangan, serta menangani berbagai situasi parkir yang menantang dengan mudah, mulai dari ruang sempit hingga area parkir yang kompleks.

Sistem ini secara otomatis menentukan jalur parkir terbaik dan mengeksekusi setiap manuver dengan mulus-menghadirkan kecerdasan, ketenangan, dan gerakan yang elegan dari awal hingga akhir, sehingga setiap perjalanan ditutup dengan pengalaman yang memuaskan.

Ketenangan selama berkendara dan kenyamanan hingga tiba di tujuan mencerminkan nilai elegan yang dihadirkan teknologi cerdas dalam mobilitas.

Layaknya maestro sepak bola yang menguasai lapangan dengan ketenangan penuh-anggun, rileks, dan seolah tanpa usaha tetap menguasai permainan-Teknologi Sensorik Elegan Lima Dimensi dari LEPAS menghadirkan nuansa premium yang sama ke dalam kabin. Kendaraan ini menghadirkan lima fitur utama, yaitu Teknologi Akustik PureSound, Teknologi Perlindungan Cerdas, Sistem Udara Segar Alami ala Hutan, Desain Ergonomis, dan Mode Suasana Kabin.

Kelima fitur ini bekerja selaras untuk menyempurnakan pengalaman kabin melalui lima aspek utama-ketenangan akustik, keselamatan perjalanan, kualitas udara, kenyamanan tempat duduk, dan suasana yang sesuai untuk berbagai situasi. Bersama-sama, seluruhnya menghadirkan pengalaman yang melampaui kesan monoton dan keterbatasan perjalanan konvensional. Setiap perjalanan, baik jarak jauh maupun perjalanan singkat sehari-hari, menghadirkan rasa rileks dan suasana elegan yang tenang. Hasilnya, setiap perjalanan terasa lebih nyaman dan berkelas.

Di lapangan, para legenda menciptakan keanggunan melalui teknik yang presisi; di jalan, LEPAS meningkatkan ketenangan melalui teknologinya yang elegan. Lapangan dan jalan memiliki keterkaitan yang mendasar-keunggulan sejati tidak bergantung pada kegaduhan, melainkan pada kendali. Inilah rahasia keanggunan LEPAS: presisi tanpa perlu tampil berlebihan, ketenangan yang secara alami memiliki kekuatan.

"Our strategy is to seek growth through disciplined acquisitions that we believe have the potential to be value-accretive, and in this market it is important to be ready to act quickly.  Establishing our first lending relationship with a syndicate of this calibre is a deliberate step towards that readiness.  We sought a modest inaugural facility as our priority was to build relationships with a core group of lenders, prove our credit profile, and put a flexible, scalable structure in place ahead of need, rather than to maximise commitments on day one.

Together with approximately US$320 million of cash and a clear pathway to scale our financing, we believe the Facility positions us to pursue the right opportunities from a position of genuine strength, while maintaining our customary approach to financial discipline that underpins our business."

Facility

The revolving portion of the Facility is a three-year senior secured revolving credit line, which carries a margin of 4% over the SOFR on drawn amount, and commitment fees of 2% on undrawn amount.  Proceeds are available for general corporate purposes across the Company.  The Facility includes market-standard financial covenants, no mandatory hedging requirements, and no mandatory principal repayments during the first two years.  The Facility also includes an uncommitted accordion feature of US$250 million, which is subject to standard conditions including lender consent and market liquidity.

New AI capabilities and flexible plans give revenue teams the guidance and coaching they need to sharpen performance and close deals faster

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sales organizations are managing an overwhelming amount of data that too often lives across multiple disconnected systems. When customer interactions, business knowledge, and CRM data are siloed, sellers lose critical context due to systems sprawl, putting them at a disadvantage when advancing sales opportunities.

Today, Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) announced updates to Zoom Revenue Accelerator (ZRA), including the general availability of Sales Assist (real-time deal guidance), Ask ZRA (natural language AI inquiries on conversation data), and Sales Roleplay (AI-powered practice simulations), through new Zoom Revenue Accelerator Essentials and Premium offerings. Together, these innovations deliver AI-powered guidance before, during, and after every customer engagement, so that revenue teams can supercharge how they process the information and turn it into real action.

These ZRA updates are coming as the need for connected revenue intelligence demand has increased. According to a report from IDC, 34% of sales executives rank improving interoperability between disparate systems as the top driver of their sales initiatives, while 28% say reducing the number of systems and vendors they manage is their highest priority.

The findings reflect a shift toward unified platforms that help revenue teams spend less time managing technology and more time driving customer outcomes.

What's New

Zoom Revenue Accelerator is expanding with the general availability of Sales Assist, Ask ZRA, and Sales Roleplay, all new AI capabilities that build on its existing conversation intelligence, coaching, and forecasting capabilities.

These will be available through new Zoom Revenue Accelerator Essentials and Premium offerings, giving organizations greater flexibility in adopting and scaling advanced AI across their revenue teams.

From revenue intelligence to revenue action

Zoom Revenue Accelerator helps organizations capture customer conversations, uncover deal insights, strengthen coaching, and improve forecasting. This launch builds on that foundation by helping revenue teams put those insights to work.

With Sales Assist, Ask ZRA, and Sales Roleplay, Zoom Revenue Accelerator extends beyond surfacing intelligence to delivering guidance where work happens. This helps sellers prepare for conversations, managers coach more effectively, and organizations continuously improve performance across the revenue lifecycle.

The result is a more connected revenue organization where every customer interaction contributes to stronger relationships, healthier pipelines, and more predictable growth.

"Every customer conversation is more than a record of what happened; it's an opportunity to shape what happens next," said Madison Muchow, general manager of Zoom Revenue Accelerator at Zoom. "We believe AI should do more than summarize interactions; it should help revenue teams prepare smarter by coaching continuously, and execute with confidence to drive more pipeline. That's the future we're building at Zoom."

AI that works across the sales workflow

From preparation to follow-up, every stage of the sales process offers opportunities to improve execution. Zoom Revenue Accelerator brings together AI, coaching, and revenue intelligence to help teams make the most of every customer interaction.

Before the meeting, Sales Roleplay helps organizations strengthen seller performance through AI-powered practice sessions based on realistic customer scenarios, giving sellers personalized guidance that reinforces best practices before the next customer interaction.

During live customer conversations, Sales Assist surfaces competitive intelligence, objection guidance, discovery prompts, battlecards, and configurable framework capture in real time, helping sellers stay focused on customers while AI works in the background.

After a customer conversation, Ask ZRA enables sellers and managers to ask natural-language questions across customer conversations and revenue data to uncover account history, identify deal risks, understand coaching opportunities, and access the information they need to make the next engagement even better.

And because customer intelligence shouldn't be confined to a single application, MCP Server, including Zoom's plug-in with OpenAI Codex, securely extends Zoom Revenue Accelerator to compatible AI platforms and enterprise workflows, enabling organizations to bring trusted revenue intelligence wherever work happens.

These new capabilities will be available as part of the new Zoom Revenue Accelerator Essentials and Premium offerings.

Giving customers more flexibility to adopt AI

Organizations are at different stages of their AI journey. To give customers more flexibility in adopting advanced AI capabilities, Zoom is introducing two new offerings:

Zoom Revenue Accelerator Essentials coming in August, is designed for organizations looking to strengthen conversation intelligence and sales coaching as they begin their AI journey. It includes foundational Zoom Revenue Accelerator capabilities, along with access to the new Ask ZRA, Sales Assist, and Sales Roleplay features, through a consumption model that lets teams explore advanced AI without overcommitting.

Zoom Revenue Accelerator Premium is designed for organizations ready to scale AI across their revenue teams. It includes everything in the Essentials offering, plus unlimited Sales Assist usage, recurring monthly AI credits for Ask ZRA and Sales Roleplay, and enhanced administrative controls that help organizations manage AI adoption across teams.

Both offerings reflect Zoom's new consumption-based approach for advanced AI capabilities, allowing organizations to align costs with adoption while maintaining governance and predictable usage. Find out more about these new offerings at Zoom.com.

Zoom Revenue Accelerator Essentials, coming in August, starts at $66 per user per month, billed annually, and Zoom Revenue Accelerator Premium starts at $99.99 per user per month, billed annually.

MONACO, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The sixth edition of the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous will take place on 20?21 September 2026 at the Yacht Club de Monaco. Since its launch in 2021, the annual event has become a leading international platform dedicated to promoting innovation, sustainability and collaboration in the marina sector.

"A marina is no longer just a place to park boats, it's an integral part of the local area that supports its development, and must address the environmental challenges and expectations of the new generations of recreational yachtsmen," adds Bernard d'Alessandri, YCM Director and General Secretary.

Organised by M3 Monaco, a consultancy specialized in development and management of marinas, yacht clubs and sailing schools, with the support of partners including the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, ESA NanoTech, Bombardier, MB92 Group, Skytopia, Plus Marine and Italian Yacht Masters, the event brings together around 250 professionals from the marina, yachting and eco-technology sectors.

Investors, marina operators, architects, public authorities and technology companies will exchange ideas on the future of marina infrastructure and sustainable coastal development. "In six years, this meeting has become a catalyst for global change. We are not talking sustainability in the abstract; we foster the partnerships and technology transfers that turn sustainable marinas into operational reality," says Jos? Marco Casellini, CEO of M3 Monaco.

Over the years, the event has showcased 146 innovations from 28 countries, 42 marina projects across 19 nations, and 34 architectural proposals submitted by 28 international firms. Many of these innovations have progressed from concept to commercialization, demonstrating the growing maturity of the sector. This year's edition introduces a new way of classifying participating companies according to their stage of development: Pre-Revenue, Post-Revenue and Scaling Revenue. The goal is to help investors and marina operators more easily identify solutions suited to their needs. Innovations will be assessed in seven categories and showcased in an online E-Catalogue available from mid-August. The new solutions will be assessed across seven categories, including biodiversity preservation, energy optimization and production, marina operations, waste management, water management and new infrastructure materials.

A major novelty for 2026 is the launch of the S3 - Smart & Sustainable Standard, a new label developed by M3 Monaco to recognize marinas committed to sustainability, innovation and operational excellence. The initiative aims to encourage continuous improvement and acknowledge facilities that have already implemented long-term sustainable strategies.

The event will also host its annual architecture competition, challenging professionals and students to design the sustainable transformation of Opatija Marina in Croatia. Participants will develop proposals for a multifunctional Marina Hub and a sailing school integrated with a marine biodiversity center, combining innovation, environmental responsibility and respect for local heritage.

Another new feature is Smart Marina Connect, a digital B2B platform that will enable marina managers and solution providers to continue networking and developing projects throughout the year.

Through conferences, workshops, project presentations and networking sessions, the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous aims to accelerate innovation, strengthen partnerships and promote practical solutions for the sustainable development of marinas worldwide.

GUILIN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 July 2026 - Known worldwide for its dramatic karst landscapes, Guilin has long been one of southern China's most iconic travel destinations. As travelers increasingly seek deeper connections with local communities, rural Guilin offers a different way to experience the countryside.

Here, visitors are not simply observers of the landscape - they become part of it, walking through rice terraces, cycling along rivers, tasting local cuisine, and discovering traditions that have evolved alongside nature for generations.

In the latest season of Village Voyage, CGTN host Julian Waghann from the United States and Filipino traveler Eliza Arce journey into Longsheng and Yangshuo, exploring how the mountains, rivers and people of Guilin continue to inspire a unique rural lifestyle.

Terraces shaped by generations of farming wisdom

Rising high in the mountains of Guangxi, the Longji Rice Terraces are far more than a spectacular agricultural landscape. Carved into the hillsides over centuries by generations of local communities, they embody a remarkable balance between human ingenuity and the natural world.

For local villager Liao Yanmei, the terraces are inseparable from everyday life. "They mean everything to us," she says. "They're our life." Today, she is leading efforts to restore and preserve the ancient terraces, ensuring this living heritage continues to thrive for generations to come.

Julian and Eliza arrive during the Shuyang Festival, one of Longsheng's most important annual farming celebrations. Walking along the narrow paths between the fields, they join villagers in the traditional seedling-throwing ritual and carry torches through the illuminated terraces as night falls.

For Eliza, the landscape evokes memories of the Banaue Rice Terraces in her native Philippines. "They're in the northern part of the country," she says. "They were also carved into the mountains by local communities. I was amazed by how closely our rice terrace cultures mirror each other. It made me realize we share deeper roots. And, in that moment, I truly felt at home."

Through these encounters, Julian and Eliza discover that the Shuyang Festival no longer marks only the beginning of the farming season. It has also become an immersive cultural experience, inviting visitors to step into the rhythms of rural life and discover a new way of experiencing China's countryside.

The secret behind the world's long hair village

Deep within the Longji Rice Terraces lies Huangluo Yao Village, home to the Red Yao people and renowned for its centuries-old long hair tradition. For generations, Red Yao women have cared for their famously long, glossy hair using fermented rice water, a natural hair treatment passed down from one generation to the next.

"Long hair, in Red Yao culture, symbolizes longevity and prosperity," said local cultural ambassador Haili. "We believe that healthy hair reflects a healthy body, bringing both long life and good fortune."

Drawing on generations of ecological knowledge, the Red Yao have long used rice water together with locally grown herbs to create a natural hair-care recipe. Rooted in the surrounding landscape, the tradition reflects a sustainable way of living that values natural resources and respects the rhythms of the environment.

Beyond their long hair tradition, the Red Yao are equally renowned for their exquisite costume craftsmanship. According to master artisan Pan Jifeng, completing a single traditional outfit can take an entire year. Weaving, batik, natural dyeing, and intricate embroidery come together in garments whose patterns are inspired by the mountains, animals, and everyday life, preserving generations of cultural memory.

Beyond the landscape: A new way to experience rural Guilin

While Guilin has long attracted visitors with its iconic scenery, a new generation of travelers is discovering the region through more immersive experiences.

In Yangshuo, the mountains and rivers have become a playground for outdoor exploration. Cycling through countryside paths, hiking among karst peaks, drifting along rivers on bamboo rafts, and experiencing cliffside adventures offer visitors a chance to engage with the landscape rather than simply admire it.

Supported by convenient transportation, diverse outdoor activities and growing tourism facilities, Yangshuo is emerging as an international destination where nature, culture and local life come together.

More than a journey: Villages connected by nature and culture

Every village tells its own story.

Some are written in the mountains, others in the rivers. Some live on through songs and festivals, while others survive through everyday traditions passed from one generation to the next.

From the rice terraces to the Karst landscapes, Guilin shows how rural communities continue to grow from the landscapes that shaped them - welcoming new visitors while keeping their own stories alive.

Born from the synergy between fundamental research and industry, SURE is a project aimed at developing an Italian technology capable of making power supply for data centres more efficient and sustainable

ROME and GENOA, Italy, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Transmitting large quantities of electricity with no losses and minimal environmental impact. This is the challenge facing the SURE project, which combines the expertise of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and ASG Superconductors to develop a magnesium diboride (MgB₂) cable for next-generation data centres. The aim is to address one of the key challenges facing AI-driven digital infrastructure: reconciling growing power demand with efficiency and sustainability.

SURE (SUperconducting - REliability & Efficiency) stems from an agreement between ASG Superconductors and INFN, involving the INFN-LASA laboratory in Milan, which coordinates the project, and the INFN National Laboratories of Frascati. Funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research through the Italian Fund for Applied Sciences (FISA), the initiative has a total budget of ?5.8 million and is expected to be completed by 2031. It includes the design, construction and installation of a superconducting power line for the new data centre at the INFN National Laboratories of Frascati.

At the core of the system is a magnesium diboride cable, a superconducting material discovered in 2001 and further developed by ASG through expertise gained in the CERN HiLumi-LHC programme. Unlike superconductors used in large particle accelerators, which require cooling to approximately 2 kelvin, MgB₂ operates at around 20 kelvin (-253?C), reducing cooling costs by more than ten times. This temperature can be maintained through closed-cycle cryogenic systems already used in industry. Thanks to superconductivity, electric current can be transmitted with virtually zero resistance, eliminating typical energy losses and enabling much higher power transmission within the same footprint.

The MgB₂ technology, developed and manufactured entirely in Italy by ASG Superconductors, does not require rare earth elements and is particularly suitable for cable applications thanks to the absence of heat dissipation and the simplicity of electrical connections. Superconducting cables can reduce space requirements by up to ten times compared with conventional technologies, optimizing infrastructure and improving long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Their compactness also creates new opportunities for data centres in urban areas or locations with infrastructure constraints.

Within the framework of SURE, ASG Superconductors and INFN will oversee the design, production and installation of a 50-metre prototype capable of carrying 1,500 A at 400 V. Researchers from the LASA laboratory in Milan and the INFN National Laboratories of Frascati will coordinate scientific activities and system integration, contributing to the development of future superconducting power grids for large-scale applications.

Supporting international entrepreneurs through Nevis company formation and offshore bank account opening within 24 to 48 hours

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trinity Group has entered into a strategic collaboration with Hamilton Reserve Bank to support international entrepreneurs and businesses, establishing a Nevis International Business Company (IBC) with a streamlined pathway from company formation to international banking.

Through the collaboration, eligible clients may establish an offshore bank account within 24 to 48 hours, subject to Hamilton Reserve Bank's independent onboarding procedures, customer due diligence and applicable regulatory requirements.

Nevis has earned international recognition as a respected jurisdiction for cross-border business, supported by its English common law heritage, modern corporate legislation and established international business environment. Increasingly, entrepreneurs and international businesses are choosing Nevis not only for company incorporation, but also for the integrated professional support that facilitates international business, including corporate advisory and international banking.

Trinity Group serves as the lead corporate adviser throughout the incorporation process, helping entrepreneurs and businesses establish Nevis corporate structures aligned with their commercial objectives. Combining international corporate advisory expertise with practical guidance on incorporation and ongoing administration, the firm supports clients at every stage of the Nevis company formation process.

Following incorporation, eligible clients requiring international banking services may be introduced to Hamilton Reserve Bank. Headquartered in Nevis, the Bank provides commercial, private and custodial banking, asset management and investment banking services through a digitally enabled multi-currency banking platform serving clients in more than 150 countries.

By connecting Nevis company formation with international banking, the collaboration creates a more efficient pathway for entrepreneurs establishing an international business. Rather than engaging separate providers for incorporation and banking, eligible clients benefit from a streamlined process while continuing to receive specialist corporate advice from Trinity Group and independently assessed banking services from Hamilton Reserve Bank.

* The collaboration is neither a merger, acquisition, joint venture nor exclusive partnership. Trinity Group and Hamilton Reserve Bank remain fully independent while combining their expertise to simplify Nevis company formation and access to international banking. Trinity Group provides corporate advisory and company formation services, while Hamilton Reserve Bank independently provides international banking services.

ISLAMABAD, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MOIB), which serves as the principal government body responsible for disseminating official communications including national budget announcements, issued the following statement today.

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb unveiled Pakistan's Rs 18.8 trillion federal budget for the fiscal year 2026?2027, which was influenced by global unrest. Earlier this year, the Iran-US war caused disruptions to the world's oil and LNG markets, driving up gas costs and straining a populace already burdened by inflation, a weak rupee, and tight health and education budgets. The final budget increased education investment and public health infrastructure, particularly cancer treatment and tertiary care, nationally, dispelling early concerns that health and education funding would be cut.

Steering Through Compounding Crises

The government cited internal fiscal strain, including debt servicing pressures and GDP growth of 3.7 percent, below target, as the backdrop for this budget in addition to the energy shock. Even as people paid more for fuel and utilities, officials characterised the year's diplomatic role in reducing regional tensions and new defence cooperation agreements as crucial to rebuilding investor confidence.

Taxation: Broad Relief, Sharper Enforcement

In addition to a 7% hike in salaries and pensions and a 10% increase in the minimum wage, the budget proposes income tax relief across four salaried-class slabs, lowering rates for individuals earning between Rs 600,000 and Rs 4.1 million annually by two to five points. The high-income earner surcharge is eliminated. The export surcharge and super tax burden have been reduced for exporters, and a new National Faceless Centre and algorithmic tax-settlement system are intended to reduce discretionary contact between taxpayers and officers.

Budget for Dignity: A Tax Cut That Empowers Women

One budget line deserves more attention: the administration removed the GST on contraceptive and menstrual hygiene products, which were formerly subject to the same 18% tax as other consumer goods. As part of the larger "pink tax" that women have long paid on health necessities, family planning and basic menstrual health items were formerly subject to the same tax burden as non-essentials. Whether something becomes available for a woman, a student, or a household already managing too many basic necessities can be determined by a tax exemption. This adjustment eliminates one financial barrier for a woman managing her health with dignity or a couple debating whether they can afford contraception.

Agriculture: Rebuilding the Economy's Backbone

A new Rs 7.1 billion Agri Storage Financing Facility to increase grain storage capacity for farmers, easier access to credit through interest-free digital loan schemes for smallholders, and ongoing rollout of electrification and rural livelihood programmes are all part of the budget's emphasis on agriculture as a growth priority.

Looking Ahead

The budget, which was developed through consultation with coalition partners, opposition input, and business community feedback, is described by the government as a foundation for stability rather than a completed journey with the goal of providing relief and growth to every household, farmer, and young worker nationwide.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 July 2026 - At the Nikkei Asia Forum APAC 2026, Mr. Thammasak Sethaudom, President and Chief Executive Officer of SCG, shared his vision that the transition toward a low-carbon economy is no longer solely an environmental challenge, but a business strategy to strengthen long-term competitiveness through energy security, innovation, and sustainable growth.

He emphasized that stronger regional collaboration will help position ASEAN as a resilient and competitive hub for manufacturing, innovation, and sustainable growth.

During the panel discussion, Thammasak noted that geopolitical uncertainty continues to reshape global supply chains and energy markets, directly affecting production costs and industrial competitiveness. He stressed that the transition to clean energy should be viewed not only as a sustainability agenda but also as a strategic approach to strengthening economic resilience and long-term competitiveness.

He highlighted ASEAN's strong potential to lead the energy transition, supported by abundant renewable resources, including solar, wind, and bioenergy. Unlocking this potential, however, requires closer collaboration between governments and businesses to accelerate energy infrastructure, enable investment, and create an ecosystem that supports innovation and low-carbon industries.

Thammasak also underscored the importance of investing in innovation, Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and low-carbon technologies to improve productivity, optimize energy use, and enhance industrial competitiveness across the region.

Drawing on SCG's experience, he cited low-carbon cement as an example of how sustainability can create business value. When green products deliver comparable quality and competitive pricing, customers are more willing to adopt them, accelerating the transition toward a low-carbon economy.

"The transition toward a low-carbon society can become a reality only when sustainability is not an option for a few, but an opportunity that all sectors can access and benefit from together."

This vision reflects SCG's Business Purpose, Inclusive Green Growth, which integrates economic growth, environmental responsibility, and social well-being through innovation and collaboration, creating shared value and supporting a more sustainable future for ASEAN.
