Lantronix akan mengembangkan solusi kustom berbasis Open-Q 6490CS SOM miliknya untuk mendukung perangkat lunak AI milik Swarmer pada drone kecil yang digunakan dalam misi pertahanan. Dibandingkan dengan platform yang digunakan saat ini, solusi tersebut akan meningkatkan kemampuan komputasi di dalam drone lebih dari 400%

IRVINE, California, Aug. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), penyedia global solusi Edge AI dan Industrial IoT yang mendukung sistem nirawak sesuai ketentuan NDAA, infrastruktur penting, serta jaringan perusahaan yang tangguh, hari ini mengumumkan kolaborasi dengan Swarmer, Inc (Nasdaq: SWMR), perusahaan perangkat lunak otonomi drone yang teknologinya telah mendukung lebih dari 100.000 misi tempur nyata di Ukraina sejak bulan April 2024.

Melalui kolaborasi ini, kedua perusahaan akan menciptakan platform komputasi kustom yang dioptimalkan untuk UAS Grup 1. Kedua perusahaan berfokus mempercepat pengerahan drone FPV serta drone kecil berbiaya rendah lainnya untuk program pertahanan Ukraina, Amerika Serikat, dan negara-negara sekutunya.

"Perangkat lunak otonomi baru benar-benar teruji setelah diterapkan pada perangkat keras yang benar-benar mengudara," ujar Saleel Awsare, presiden dan CEO Lantronix. "Platform komputasi Lantronix yang siap digunakan untuk produksi dan memenuhi ketentuan NDAA dipadukan dengan perangkat lunak Swarmer yang telah teruji dalam pertempuran. Kombinasi ini memberikan kemampuan pemrosesan sekitar empat kali lipat kepada operator untuk mengoptimalkan navigasi visual, pengenalan target otomatis, penguncian piksel, serta algoritma koordinasi antardrone tingkat lanjut."

Integrasi Open-Q 6490CS System-on-Module dari Lantronix dirancang untuk membekali UAS Grup 1 dengan opsi konektivitas yang sama, sekaligus meningkatkan kemampuan komputasi di dalam perangkat secara signifikan. Peningkatan ini memungkinkan penerapan kecerdasan buatan, visi komputer, dan pelaksanaan misi otonom yang lebih canggih di tingkat taktis. Kapasitas pemrosesan tambahan tersebut akan mendukung pola koordinasi kawanan drone yang lebih canggih, fusi sensor, serta pengambilan keputusan secara real time sekaligus menyediakan platform siap produksi yang dirancang untuk pengoperasian jangka panjang.

Bagi operator militer, solusi ini akan memungkinkan pengerahan UAS Grup 1 yang semakin otonom dan berbasis perangkat lunak. Sistem tersebut dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan kebutuhan misi yang terus berubah melalui pembaruan perangkat lunak, tanpa harus mengganti perangkat keras. Pendekatan ini memperluas kemampuan operasional sekaligus mengurangi kompleksitas terkait siklus hidup sistem.

"Dengan lebih dari tujuh juta drone yang diperkirakan akan diproduksi pada tahun ini saja, kami yakin bahwa setiap drone tersebut berpotensi menjalankan perangkat lunak AI dan otonomi kolaboratif kami," ujar Alex Fink, Presiden dan CEO Swarmer untuk AS. "Kolaborasi kami dengan Lantronix akan menghasilkan platform komputasi yang mampu menjalankan model AI di edge dalam faktor bentuk kecil yang dioptimalkan untuk UAS Grup 1. Kami meyakini bahwa platform ini akan menjadi standar industri baru untuk solusi komputasi pada sistem nirawak berukuran kecil. Setiap unit akan hadir dengan Swarmer OS dan teknologi otonomi mutakhir Swarmer yang telah terpasang sebelumnya."

Swarmer didirikan di Austin, Texas, pada bulan Mei 2023 dan mulai mengerahkan perangkat lunak otonominya dalam operasi tempur di Ukraina pada bulan April 2024. Sejak saat itu, teknologi tersebut telah digunakan dalam berbagai misi bersama hampir 50 unit militer Ukraina di lingkungan dengan aktivitas peperangan elektronik serta kondisi tanpa sinyal GNSS. Perangkat lunak Swarmer dirancang untuk beroperasi pada berbagai platform nirawak, mulai dari pesawat bersayap tetap dan bersayap putar hingga kendaraan darat dan kapal nirawak. Solusi Swarmer yang berbasis Open-Q 6490CS SOM dari Lantronix akan mendukung seluruh platform tersebut. Dengan satu basis perangkat keras yang sama, seorang operator dapat merencanakan, memantau, dan menjalankan misi yang melibatkan ratusan drone.

Manfaat Teknologi Lantronix bagi Swarmer

Open-Q? 6490CS SOM memungkinkan Swarmer menerapkan perangkat lunak otonominya pada platform komputasi siap produksi yang meningkatkan kinerja, menekan biaya dan inefisiensi operasional, mengoptimalkan SWaP, serta mempercepat penerapan pada berbagai platform nirawak. Pemrosesan AI langsung di perangkat dirancang untuk beroperasi di lingkungan tanpa sinyal GPS serta lingkungan yang menghadapi gangguan dari pihak lawan. Dalam kondisi tersebut, komputasi yang bergantung pada cloud tidak dapat diandalkan.

Dukungan produksi berkelanjutan dan kepatuhan terhadap NDAA juga menghilangkan ketidakpastian dalam rantai pasok. Hal ini memungkinkan Swarmer memperluas skala penerapannya kepada pelanggan dari pemerintah AS dan negara-negara sekutu tanpa mengkhawatirkan ketersediaan perangkat keras.

Poin-Poin Penting bagi Investor

Peluang platform yang lebih luas: Memperkuat peran Lantronix dalam sistem pertahanan otonom dengan meningkatkan kemampuan komputasi AI untuk perangkat lunak otonomi multiplatform yang digunakan pada sistem nirawak udara, darat, dan laut. 

Menggantikan Teknologi yang Akan Segera Usang: Sistem komputasi di dalam perangkat yang digunakan saat ini semakin mahal dan tidak lagi mampu mengimbangi laju perkembangan AI. Platform kustom ini dirancang untuk menghadirkan kemampuan pemrosesan sekitar empat kali lipat guna mengoptimalkan navigasi visual, pengenalan target otomatis, penguncian piksel, serta algoritma koordinasi antardrone tingkat lanjut. 

Dukungan program jangka panjang: Kepatuhan terhadap NDAA dan komitmen produksi selama lebih dari 10 tahun memperkuat posisi Lantronix untuk memperoleh pendapatan berulang dalam jangka panjang apabila Swarmer berhasil mengamankan kontrak pertahanan berdurasi panjang. Hal ini membantu mengurangi risiko adopsi platform di pasar teknologi otonomi pertahanan.

Mitra tervalidasi dengan skala yang terus berkembang: Swarmer (Nasdaq: SWMR) merupakan perusahaan publik yang teknologinya telah teruji dalam operasi tempur, dengan lebih dari 100.000 misi yang dijalankan bersama hampir 50 unit militer. Pencapaian tersebut membantu mengurangi risiko eksekusi dari sisi permintaan dalam kemitraan ini.

Tentang Swarmer

Swarmer (Nasdaq: SWMR) merupakan perusahaan teknologi pertahanan yang berfokus pada perangkat lunak yang tidak terikat pada vendor tertentu. Perangkat lunak tersebut memungkinkan seorang operator mengendalikan ratusan platform otonom secara intuitif dan real time. Fokus utama Swarmer mencakup koordinasi otonom kawanan platform nirawak, integrasi sistem nirawak lintas domain, serta perangkat lunak otonomi berteknologi AI untuk operasi terdistribusi. Swarmer bukan produsen drone dan tidak bergantung pada platform atau pemasok tertentu maupun pada siklus hidup perangkat keras tertentu. Sebaliknya, Swarmer beroperasi pada lapisan kecerdasan dengan mengembangkan perangkat lunak untuk otonomi, koordinasi, dan pengambilan keputusan. Perangkat lunak tersebut memungkinkan sejumlah besar sistem nirawak berbiaya rendah beroperasi secara kolektif sebagai satu kekuatan yang terpadu dan tangguh. Teknologi Swarmer telah divalidasi secara ketat dalam lingkungan kinetik nyata dan pertama kali diterapkan dalam operasi tempur di Ukraina pada bulan April 2024. Sejak saat itu, teknologi tersebut telah menuntaskan lebih dari 100.000 misi tempur dan menghasilkan data eksklusif dalam jumlah terabyte. Data tersebut digunakan untuk mengembangkan model pembelajaran mesin Swarmer sekaligus memungkinkan kinerja pilot berkemampuan tinggi direplikasi dalam skala besar. Penggunaan teknologi Swarmer secara rutin dalam misi tempur menghasilkan aliran telemetri, data sensor, dan umpan balik operasional secara terus-menerus. Data tersebut lalu digunakan untuk menyempurnakan kinerja, meningkatkan ketangguhan sistem, serta mempercepat pembelajaran. Swarmer berkantor pusat di Austin, Texas, serta menjalankan kegiatan operasional dan memiliki tim di Ukraina, Polandia, dan Estonia.

HONG KONG, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On July 30, China International Capital Corporation (CICC) hosted the inaugural "Embark Salon" in Hong Kong, in collaboration with the Chinese Overseas Private Funds Association (COPFA) and the Hong Kong Limited Partnership Fund Association (HKLPA). Titled "Setting Sail Overseas: Exploring the Future of USD Funds," the event brought together approximately 150 representatives from asset managers, institutional investors and professional services firms. 

Chinese companies, institutions and individuals are facing significant opportunities to expand globally. Chinese asset managers can use Hong Kong as a strategic hub - offering their investment expertise to global allocators seeking exposure to China, while gaining valuable experience in serving Chinese capital as it seeks diversified global allocation. Through Project Embark, CICC aims to partner with leading Chinese managers on their international growth journey, leveraging its role as a bridge between China and global markets to help bring Chinese investment expertise to the broader international stage.

The CICC Embark Salon series is designed as a dedicated professional platform for the asset management industry, bringing together institutional investors, asset managers, and professional service providers. The series aims to foster dialogue on the international growth of Chinese asset managers, global asset allocation trends, and the development of the cross-border asset management ecosystem, sharing industry insights and practical experience to strengthen collaboration between onshore and offshore market participants. Taking the occasion of the Embark Salon, CICC officially launched its international asset custody offering.

In a subsequent keynote session, CICC Chief Economist Miao Yanliang shared his academic perspectives and forward‑looking observations on "Global Monetary Order Restructuring and Asset Allocation." He noted that the global monetary order is undergoing a profound transformation, with the traditional "safe-asset" status of the Dollar facing increased scrutiny amid evolving market dynamics. A shift toward a more diversified monetary system could create opportunities for the Renminbi to play a greater international role and may structurally enhance the appeal of Chinese assets.

The event featured three panel discussions: "Global Asset Allocation in a Multipolar World"; "Chinese Quantitative Managers Going Global: From Exporting Strategies to Building Global Firms"; and "Emerging Trends in the Formation and Operation of USD Funds in Hong Kong." Senior representatives from asset management firms, accounting and law firms - both from China and overseas - shared their perspectives, drawing on industry trends and practical experience.

The inaugural Embark Salon facilitated in-depth exchanges and cooperation among onshore and offshore market participants. Through discussions on market trends, investment strategies, fund services and operational frameworks, participants explored the opportunities and pathways for Chinese asset managers growing globally - underscoring the Salon's role as a long-term platform for cross-border industry collaboration.

San Francisco 49ers Tight End Joins Jesse Kove, Martin Kove and Rachael Pizzolatto in the first casting announcements in Original Cinematic Frontier Series Currently Funding on Kickstarter

GOLD COAST, Australia, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sparke Films has revealed that San Francisco 49ers tight end and NFL star George Kittle is set to make his acting debut in Dinosaurs of the Wild West, the original eight-part cinematic frontier series from filmmaker Luke Sparke, creator of Primitive War (Currently streaming on Hulu).

Kittle will play an original character in the new frontier, complete with his own dinosaur, marking his first on-screen acting role.

Joining Kittle in the series are Jesse Kove (Cobra Kai) in a villainous role, Martin Kove (The Karate Kid, Cobra Kai) as an important figure in the America of this time, and Rachael Pizzolatto (MythBusters Jr) as 'The Heiress'.

The three principal hero roles remain in active casting along with other key roles, with an extraordinary outpouring of interest from actors worldwide following the trailer's release. Auditions are currently underway.

"Since the trailer dropped, we've had an incredible response from the acting community. Performers from all over the world reaching out because they want to be part of this crazy-ambitious idea," said writer/director Luke Sparke. "George is someone who discovered Primitive War on his own and talked about it publicly and that's what brought us together. His passion for this kind of storytelling is completely authentic, and that energy is exactly what the frontier needs. Having him, the Koves and Rachael together so far is the kind of ensemble that gets built around a story worth telling."

The announcement comes as the Dinosaurs of the Wild West Kickstarter campaign, officially named a Kickstarter "Projects We Love" selection, targets over the 60% mark of its goal with 10 days remaining. The official trailer and teaser have generated over 20 million views across official social channels alone, with millions more through press coverage and community sharing.

Dinosaurs of the Wild West represents the new model for independent entertainment: Creator-led, direct to fans, bypassing the traditional systems entirely. Rather than waiting for a greenlight that may never come, the production is going directly to the audience that wants it to exist, allowing fans to pre-order the series and collectively bring it to life.

"We're past the point of asking permission," said Sparke. "The audience has already shown interest in extraordinary numbers. This is a new way of making ambitious content, with creators going directly to the fans who want it by building their own audience. If enough people pre-order it, we make it. It's that simple. Now it's just educating this new system and turning those millions of views into pre-orders."

Set in an alternate 1879, Dinosaurs of the Wild West imagines a frontier where humans and dinosaurs built civilisation together. Massive Brontosaurs haul entire towns across the plains. Raptors are ridden into battle. Pterosaurs rule the skies. The series follows pioneers, outlaws and adventurers navigating a dangerous land where every journey, every town and every war depend on the giant creatures that shaped civilisation itself. It's pitched as 'House of the Dragon' meets 'Tombstone'.

The Kickstarter campaign is live now and closes on August 7th. The ONLY way to watch this series (currently) is to pre-order.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 August 2026 - The Eugene BB Expo, Hong Kong's largest annual maternity and baby grand event, grandly opened at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. XINGZISHAN, an original Chinese functional kids' loungewear brand from mainland China, staged its highly anticipated debut at the exhibition.

Blending Eastern and Western aesthetics with premium craftsmanship, the brand leverages the Greater Bay Area as a strategic gateway to complete its landmark Hong Kong & Macau market premiere, officially kicking off its overseas expansion journey.

Chinese Original Kids Apparel Brand XINGZISHAN Makes Debut at Hong Kong's Largest Eugene BB Expo, Marking a New Chapter of Domestic Brands Going Global

Mainland Original Base Layer Specialist Debuts at Hong Kong's Top Baby Expo

Founded to solve real parenting pain points, XINGZISHAN focuses on essential close-fitting apparel for children. The brand independently develops high-performance fabrics featuring seamless skin-friendly construction, anti-allergy skincare protection, breathability and quick-dry properties. It has built a full matrix of kids' base layers tailored to tropical subtropical Hong Kong parenting needs, addressing common challenges including kids' excessive sweating, sensitive skin, temperature fluctuations between day and night, and multi-scenario indoor & outdoor wear.

Long dominated by overseas and Hong Kong maternity brands, the Eugene BB Expo delivers dual value for end-consumer retail traffic and cross-border business matching, with few mainland original kids' base layer brands participating in previous editions. Bringing its complete lineup of functional children's base layers to the expo, XINGZISHAN stood out as a distinctive representative of original mainland brands. Through differentiated original design and robust product performance, the brand showcased the premium quality and humanistic warmth of Chinese independent kids' wear labels.

Original Mission: One Base Layer, Endless Comfort for Kids' Unrestrained Growth

XINGZISHAN adheres to its core brand ethos - "From Base Layer to Life Backing, Safely is Basic". Beyond crafting soft inner layers, the brand creates safe, professional, well-fitted and stylish functional apparel to safeguard children's freedom to explore, while easing parents' stress over daily kids' outfit selection.

Speaking at the booth, Zhang Yangzhi, Founder of XINGZISHAN, shared the brand's founding vision: "Base layers stay close to children's skin every single day, forming the most fundamental layer of protection as they grow. We aim to perfect this intimate daily essential, using professional fabrics and tailored cuts to support kids' unrestrained childhood."

Throughout the exhibition run, the brand's booth drew steady crowds of Hong Kong expectant mothers, local parents, cross-border families and maternity retail procurement buyers. Many mums commented that XINGZISHAN's sweat-wicking, non-chafing seamless fabrics perfectly fit Hong Kong's humid climate and kids' active daily routines. The versatile loungewear pieces that transition effortlessly from bedroom to outdoor outings greatly simplify parents' daily childcare routines.

The brand also addresses a key consumer pain point for fathers, who often struggle to find kids' clothing balancing appealing aesthetics and reliable quality. With premium fabric texture and child-centric aesthetic design, XINGZISHAN earns consistent family approval, cementing its position as a top household apparel choice.

Cultural Exchange: Oriental Inspirations Meet Minimalist Western Design

This debut at the Eugene BB Expo marks a critical milestone in XINGZISHAN's global expansion, as well as a vivid showcase of Chinese kids' wear cultural export. The booth space integrates brand storytelling, natural fabric displays and parenting philosophies, paired with local Hong Kong touches such as tram elements to boost visitor engagement.

Breaking away from the cluttered heavy prints typical of traditional Chinese-style children's clothing, XINGZISHAN harmoniously fuses Eastern culture with Western minimalism. Drawing visual motifs from ginkgo leaves, wheat ears and auspicious cloud patterns, the brand pairs them with clean, streamlined silhouettes iconic to Western kids' fashion, alongside soft, low-saturation natural tones that strike an ideal balance between practicality and gentle aesthetic charm.

Global Expansion Roadmap: Hong Kong as the Springboard for Overseas Growth

Capitalizing on Hong Kong's unique geographical advantage as "backed by Mainland China, connected to the world" and its role as a super connector, XINGZISHAN seizes the Eugene BB Expo platform to connect deeply with Hong Kong & Macau maternity retail channels, chain stores and procurement resources. The brand will rapidly penetrate local Hong Kong and Macau markets, establishing a direct supply chain from mainland original kids' wear brands to regional families.

Moving forward, XINGZISHAN plans to steadily expand into Southeast Asian markets. It will bring Chinese kids' apparel R&D expertise and Eastern parenting aesthetics to the Greater Bay Area and international audiences, paving the way for original domestic children's wear brands to shine on a broader global stage.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 31 July 2026 - VinFast has officially launched its electric motorcycle ecosystem in the Philippines, opening 21 VinFast showrooms alongside the debut of three models, Evo, Feliz II, and Viper.

The milestone marks an important step in VinFast's expansion in one of Southeast Asia's largest two-wheeler markets, bringing modern, cost-effective, and sustainable mobility solutions closer to consumers while laying the foundation for a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem in the Philippines.

Vinfast Opens 21 Electric Motorcycle Showrooms, Deepening Its Green Mobility Presence In The Philippines.

The 21 pioneer dealerships will begin operations in major cities nationwide, expanding consumer access to VinFast products and authorized services. The network is expected to grow further in the coming period, progressively expanding VinFast's presence across the Philippines.

The simultaneous opening of 21 showrooms comes just over a month after the success of VinFast's early booking program, which attracted thousands of customers nationwide. The strong market response to VinFast's battery-swapping electric motorcycles not only demonstrates the products' appeal but also underscores the company's investment commitment and rapid expansion in the Philippines.

VinFast aims to develop its dealerships as all-in-one destinations, bringing product displays, energy solutions, and technical services together under one roof. Customers can receive personalized consultations, take test rides, experience a one-minute battery swap, explore home-charging solutions, and choose an ownership option that best suits their needs, with professional support throughout the entire journey, from initial product discovery to after-sales service.

In addition to the official showcase of the brand's first product lineup and its full range of available colors, the launch featured test rides and one-minute battery-swapping demonstrations. The brand also shared its official local pricing, battery solutions, and supporting ecosystem, including plans to deploy 30,000 battery-swapping cabinets nationwide in partnership with infrastructure providers.

Following the launch event, a series of public experience activities will take place at the new dealerships throughout August 2026. Customers will be able to see and test ride the three models, learn about battery technology and sales policies, and explore flexible ownership options. Details of the test ride program and applicable terms are available on VinFast's official website: vinfastauto.ph/en.

To celebrate the occasion, participating dealerships will introduce a variety of exclusive offers and promotional programs, providing additional benefits and value for early adopters.

Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, CEO of VinFast E-Scooters & E-Bikes, International Markets, said: "Opening 21 VinFast showrooms alongside the launch of our three electric motorcycle models reflects VinFast's long-term investment commitment to the Philippines. Beyond offering products that meet diverse mobility needs, we are building a comprehensive ecosystem that makes it easier for customers to access our vehicles, energy solutions, and support services throughout their ownership journey. As our electric mobility ecosystem continues to expand, we believe electric motorcycles can become an increasingly practical and convenient choice in the everyday lives of Filipinos."

Evo, Feliz II, and Viper each offer distinct characteristics designed to meet a wide range of mobility needs and riding styles. Evo combines elegant styling with everyday agility, offering a top speed of 80 km/h and a range of up to 150 km with two fully charged batteries. Feliz II emphasizes practicality and versatile performance, with a top speed of 90 km/h. Rounding out the lineup is Viper, featuring a sporty design, maximum power output of 5,200W, and a top speed of 90 km/h, aimed at younger riders who value technology and engaging riding experience.

All three models feature two under-seat battery compartments and are compatible with VinFast's battery-swapping solution, giving riders greater flexibility and convenience in everyday use. Customers can also choose between purchasing their motorcycle with batteries included or subscribing to a battery subscription plan, depending on their needs and usage patterns.

Notably, VinFast electric motorcycle owners will receive free battery swaps at public swapping stations operated by strategic partner V-Green for one year, with up to 20 swaps per month per vehicle. The models are also covered by a 4+2-year or 60,000+12,000-km warranty, whichever comes first, providing customers with greater benefits, lower operating costs, and long-term peace of mind.

VinFast's entry into the Philippine electric motorcycle market builds on its expansion across key Southeast Asian markets, following the opening of 20 electric motorcycle dealerships in Indonesia in July 2026. By steadily expanding its presence, VinFast is building out a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem across the region, making it easier for consumers to transition to smarter, more modern, and environmentally-friendly transportation solutions.

Bringing Together Leaders from Politics, Business, and Academia to Advance Sustainable Development

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 31 July 2026 - The "Youth Sustainable Development International Summit Launch Ceremony," organised by Mytheast Youth Club, was held on 31 July 2026 in Hong Kong.

The event brought together the Consuls-General and representatives of Zimbabwe and Nigeria, several Legislative Council members, the Deputy Head of the Chief Executive's Policy Unit, and leaders and elites from a wide range of sectors - including politics, property development, aviation, banking, trade and commerce, tourism, finance, innovation and technology, healthcare, law and education. Together, they explored how Hong Kong can effectively implement the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and showcased the achievements of Hong Kong youth in international affairs.

UN Programme Nurtures Young Talent for National Development

In his welcoming speech, Mr. Lam Chi Wing, Hong Kong Deputy to the National People's Congress and Chairman of Mytheast Youth Club, highlighted that Mytheast Youth Club has long been dedicated to youth development. With the support of the Hong Kong SAR Government, Mytheast Youth Club has organised numerous youth programmes and partnered with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and GBAMUN to deliver the United Nations Youth Development Programme (UNYDP), which provides young people with immersive training at the UN European Headquarters in Geneva, equipping them with international perspectives and diplomatic skills.

The Launch Ceremony serves as a follow-up initiative to the UNYDP, enabling participants to transform their UN learning into tangible contributions to society and to offer policy recommendations for the development of Hong Kong and the nation. He reaffirmed that Mytheast Youth Club will continue to support youth development and contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to global sustainable development.

International Perspective I: Zimbabwe's Experience in Sustainable Development

H.E. Mr. Ellias Mutamba, Consul General of Zimbabwe in Hong Kong, shared his country's valuable experiences in sustainable agriculture and community-based natural resource management. He noted that Zimbabwe faces challenges including land degradation, climate change, and recurring droughts. Through initiatives such as the "Pfumvudza/Intwasa" climate-smart agriculture programme, the promotion of drought-tolerant traditional grains, improved water management, and integrated farming systems, Zimbabwe has successfully enhanced agricultural productivity and ensured food security. He emphasised that sustainability is not a cost but an investment ? it creates jobs, ensures food security, attracts responsible investment, and protects the ecosystems we all depend on. He welcomed Hong Kong enterprises to explore partnerships with Zimbabwe in climate-smart agriculture, food processing, renewable energy, and eco-tourism.

International Perspective II: Nigeria's Sustainable Development Practices

Mrs. Millicent U. Onuoha, Consul (Head of Chancery / Education) of the Consulate General of Nigeria in Hong Kong, delivered a speech on behalf of the Consul General, sharing Nigeria's practical experiences in advancing sustainable development. She noted that Nigeria, with its vast natural resources and diverse ecosystems, has long recognised the urgency of balancing development with environmental stewardship. In sustainable agriculture, Nigeria has invested in climate-smart farming practices, promoting drought-resistant crops, efficient irrigation systems, and agroforestry initiatives that not only secure food supplies but also restore degraded lands and strengthen resilience against climate shocks. In renewable energy, Nigeria has embarked on ambitious projects to expand solar and wind power, particularly in underserved regions. Its "Solar Power Naija" initiative aims to deliver clean electricity to millions of households, reducing reliance on fossil fuels while creating green jobs for youth. She emphasised that sustainable development is not a distant aspiration, but a practical pathway to prosperity, and encouraged Hong Kong youth to embrace innovation and collaboration in building a sustainable, inclusive, and just future.

Youth Participants Share: From UN Learning to Local Action

Mr. Mac Mai, Academic Director of GBAMUN, recalled his experience of participating in his first Model United Nations conference at the age of twelve, noting that this formative experience inspired his lifelong dedication to youth international education. He also introduced UNYDP, a strategic initiative jointly launched by GBAMUN and UNITAR. The UNYDP is one of the few youth training programmes worldwide that grants young people direct access to core United Nations resources. He remarked, "If visiting global institutions opens the door to the world of multilateralism, our expert training gives young people the keys to walk through it with confidence." He emphasised that through the UNYDP, GBAMUN hopes to light the path for young to step onto the international stage and cooperate with global partners to jointly build a more peaceful and inclusive world.

Several UNYDP participants from diverse professional backgrounds shared their learning outcomes and future action plans at the event.

Delegate Chu Wai Lun detailed how he integrates his United Nations training into Hong Kong True Light College, an institution long dedicated to forward-looking holistic education that expands students' global horizons and instils social responsibility. As the Biology Panel Head of the school, he leads initiatives centered on experiential learning, the conservation of endangered Chinese species, and citizen science programs-translating abstract global conservation challenges into concrete action that elevates traditional science education. "Education is not merely about imparting knowledge," He emphasized. "It is about cultivating empathy, evidence-based thinking, and the agency to change the world." By grounding grand global visions into everyday student actions, he aims to equip the next generation with the awareness and capability to safeguard our planet.

Ms. Pang Hing Man Mecissa has long been working on the frontlines of youth mental health services, having encountered many young people who have suffered from hidden bullying or sexual violence. She hopes that society can build a consensus and that people from all walks of life can become attentive companions, bringing the UN's inclusive values back to Hong Kong and illuminating every forgotten corner with empathy and kindness.

Mr. Ng Siu Yuen shared his profound understanding of the interconnectedness of the SDGs. He drew on the "Imacocollabo" simulation game at the UN and Geneva's experience in low-carbon living and waste sorting to call for stronger public education and social consensus in Hong Kong to drive sustainable development.

Ms. Yau Ho Laam summarised the UNYDP in Geneva. Her team presented the "H.E.A.L." initiative - which stands for Healing, Education, Arts, and Livelihood - aimed at supporting female refugees and victims of domestic violence through online courses, art therapy, and craft creation.

Ms. Wan Man Yan, Silver and Ms. Xiao Ting shared their visions on animal conservation and youth development, respectively. Ms. Wan called for education to change societal values towards life at the source, promoting a society of human-animal coexistence. Ms. Xiao, meanwhile, emphasised the importance of youth development and the need to empower young people to influence their peers in driving mental health awareness and social participation.

Looking Ahead: Building Bridges for International Cooperation

The Launch Ceremony marks the official commencement of a series of youth sustainable development forums. Future forums will bring together representatives from enterprises, organisations, and young people across different regions and industries to share their efforts and contributions to sustainable development. The event has fully demonstrated the pathway for Hong Kong youth to actively participate in international affairs as Chinese citizens.

Mytheast Youth Club reaffirmed its commitment to deepening exchanges and collaboration with UNITAR and other partners to promote global sustainable development and youth empowerment, ensuring that the voice of Hong Kong youth is heard on the international stage.

New regional programme will assess environmental hygiene practices, support hospital improvement, and recognise excellence in patient safety across Asia Pacific, with winners honoured at the APSIC 2028 Congress.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 31 July 2026 - The Asia Pacific Society of Infection Control (APSIC), in collaboration with Schuelke, has launched the APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award, a programme to recognise hospitals that demonstrate excellence in environmental hygiene and infection prevention across the Asia Pacific region.

Environmental hygiene is a critical component of infection prevention and patient safety, yet standards and implementation of environmental hygiene vary significantly across the region's healthcare settings. The new programme aims to raise awareness, strengthen best practices, and support hospitals to improve environmental hygiene through a structured, scientifically guided framework.

Participating hospitals will be evaluated using APSIC-developed guidelines and audit criteria, with assessments conducted through an independent scientific framework led by an APSIC-appointed expert panel comprising infection prevention specialists from across the region.

This initiative brings renewed focus to raising standards across healthcare systems in Asia Pacific," said Professor Moi Lin Ling, APSIC Programme Chair, APSIC Environment Hygiene Excellence Award

Through this regional collaboration, APSIC and Schuelke aim to:

Promote awareness and adoption of best practices in environmental hygiene across healthcare institutions in Asia Pacific.

Provide hospitals with structured tools to assess performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

Enable benchmarking and knowledge exchange among healthcare institutions to advance infection prevention standards regionally.

Shortlisted hospitals will receive expert-led educational support, including regional webinars and on-site training sessions, to help strengthen infection prevention strategies and improve operational environmental hygiene practices. Finalists will undergo an on-site audit by APSIC experts, and winners will be honoured at the APSIC 2028 Congress.

"As a long-standing partner in infection prevention, Schuelke is committed to supporting healthcare institutions in advancing environmental hygiene standards through scientific collaboration and education," said Patrick Kaminski, President and CEO, Schuelke Asia Pacific.

The programme represents one of the first coordinated regional efforts to standardise, assess, and recognise excellence in environmental hygiene across healthcare systems in Asia Pacific. By combining scientific criteria, expert review, and practical education, the initiative is designed to support meaningful and measurable improvements in hospital hygiene, patient safety, and infection prevention outcomes.

How CNH precision technology is helping family farms turn data into better decisions

*The latest feature in CNH's A Sustainable Year digital series tells the story of Moreland Farms, a fourth-generation farming operation using technology to protect and improve the land for the next generation.

*Case IH FieldOps, AIM Command FLEX II, and AccuSync help the farm connect machines and turns operational data into practical action.

*Precision spraying, automation and connected data help improve productivity, reduce unnecessary overlap and support more informed input decisions.

Basildon, July 30, 2026

For family farms, land is more than a business asset. It is a legacy to protect, improve and pass on to the next generation. Today, precision technology, automation and connected data are helping farmers make better decisions in the field - improving productivity while managing inputs more accurately and responsibly.

The latest story in CNH's A Sustainable Year digital series features Moreland Farms, a fourth-generation farming operation across Oklahoma and Southern Kansas, USA. The article shows how Case IH technology is helping the family bring data into the center of its daily operations: from machine coordination and application records to harvest insights, nitrogen management and long-term land stewardship.

Moreland Farms uses Case IH FieldOps, AIM Command FLEX II and AccuSync to connect machines, monitor field activity and turn operational data into practical action. FieldOps brings machinery and field data into one digital platform; AIM Command FLEX II supports more accurate spraying by controlling individual nozzle output; and AccuSync allows multiple machines to coordinate in the same field, helping reduce overlap and missed rows.

For Matt Moreland, who farms alongside his family at Moreland Farms, the value of precision technology lies not only in what it automates, but in what it helps farmers learn over time.

"The technology of guidance, precision and application data has allowed us to learn so much," he says, noting how comparing year-over-year harvest insights allowed them to pinpoint exactly where to optimize nitrogen applications. "Those changes may be larger than even what my grandma lived through, and they are definitely making us better stewards of the land."

Together with an in-depth explainer on CNH precision spraying technologies, the story shows how CNH is helping customers turn advanced technology into practical value: improving efficiency, supporting more responsible land management and enabling farmers to make confident decisions in an increasingly data-driven agricultural world.

Lantronix to develop a custom solution based on Lantronix's Open-Q 6490CS SOM to support Swarmer's AI software on small drones for defense missions, boosting onboard computing power by more than 400% compared to current platforms

IRVINE, Calif., July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (Nasdaq: LTRX), a global provider of Edge AI and Industrial IoT solutions that power NDAA-compliant unmanned systems, critical infrastructure, and resilient enterprise networks, today announced a collaboration with Swarmer, Inc (Nasdaq: SWMR), a drone autonomy software company whose technology has supported more than 100,000 real-world combat missions in Ukraine since April 2024, to create a custom compute platform optimized for Group 1 UAS. Both companies are focused on accelerating deployment of FPV and other small, low-cost drones for Ukraine, U.S. and allied defense programs.

"Autonomy software only proves itself once it's deployed on hardware that's actually flying," said Saleel Awsare, president and CEO of Lantronix. "A production-ready NDAA-compliant Lantronix compute platform with Swarmer's combat-proven software provides operators with roughly four times the processing power to optimize its visual navigation, automated target recognition, pixel lock and advanced teaming algorithms."

The integration of Lantronix's Open-Q 6490CS System-on-Module is designed to provide Group 1 UAS with the identical connectivity options along with a significant increase in onboard computing capability, enabling more advanced artificial intelligence, computer vision and autonomous mission execution at the tactical edge. The additional processing capacity will support more sophisticated swarming behaviors, sensor fusion and real-time decision-making while providing a production-ready platform designed for long-term deployment.

For military operators, this will result in the ability to field increasingly autonomous, software-defined Group 1 UAS that can adapt to evolving mission requirements through software updates rather than hardware replacement, extending operational capability while reducing lifecycle complexity.

"With more than seven million drones projected to be manufactured this year alone, we believe that every one of them could potentially run our AI and collaborative autonomy software," said Alex Fink, president and U.S. CEO of Swarmer. "Our collaboration with Lantronix will produce a compute platform that is capable of running AI models on the edge in a small form factor that is optimized for Group 1 UAS. We believe this will become the new industry standard compute solution for small unmanned systems, and every unit will arrive pre-populated with Swarmer OS and Swarmer's cutting-edge autonomy."

Founded in Austin, Texas, in May 2023, Swarmer deployed its autonomy software in combat operations in Ukraine in April 2024 and has since flown missions with nearly 50 Ukrainian military units in active electronic warfare and GNSS-denied environments. Swarmer's software is designed to run across any type of drone - from fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to ground vehicles and sea vessels. The Swarmer solution based on Lantronix Open-Q 6490CS SOM will support all of these platforms, allowing a single operator to plan, monitor and execute missions involving hundreds of drones from one hardware base.

How Lantronix Technology Benefits Swarmer

The Open-Q 6490CS SOM enables Swarmer to deploy its autonomy software on a production-ready compute platform that improves performance, reduces cost and operational inefficiencies, optimizes SWaP and accelerates deployment across multiple unmanned platforms. On-device AI processing is built for GPS-denied and contested environments, where cloud-dependent compute isn't reliable.

Sustained production support and NDAA compliance also eliminates supply chain uncertainty, enabling Swarmer to scale deployments across U.S. and allied government customers without hardware availability concerns.

Key Investor Takeaways

Expanded platform opportunity: Broadens Lantronix's role within autonomous defense systems by improving AI compute for multi-platform autonomy software across air, ground and maritime unmanned systems. 

Replaces Soon-to-be Obsolete Technology: Current onboard compute systems are becoming increasingly expensive and unable to match pace with the speed of AI. This customized platform is designed to provide roughly four times the processing power to optimize visual navigation, automated target recognition, pixel lock and advanced teaming algorithms. 

Long-term program support: NDAA compliance and a 10-year-plus production commitment position Lantronix for recurring, long-term revenue as Swarmer secures extended defense contracts, de-risking platform adoption in the defense autonomy market.

Validated, scaling partner: Swarmer (Nasdaq: SWMR) is a publicly traded, combat-proven operator with more than 100,000 missions flown across nearly 50 military units, reducing execution risk on the demand side of the partnership.

About Swarmer

Swarmer (Nasdaq: SWMR) is a defense technology company that specializes in vendor-agnostic software which allows one operator to intuitively control hundreds of autonomous platforms in real time. Swarmer's primary mission areas include autonomous swarm coordination, integration of multi-domain unmanned systems and AI-powered autonomy software for distributed operations. Swarmer is not a drone manufacturer and does not depend on any single platform, supplier or hardware lifecycle. Instead, Swarmer operates at the intelligence layer, developing autonomy, coordination and decision-making software that enables large numbers of low-cost unmanned systems to operate collectively as one coherent, resilient force.

Swarmer's technology has been rigorously validated in real-world kinetic environments and was first deployed in combat operations in Ukraine in April 2024. Since then, it has completed more than 100,000 combat missions, generating terabytes of proprietary data that informs its machine-learning models and enables the replication of advanced pilot performance at scale. Swarmer's routine use in combat missions generates continuous streams of telemetry, sensor data and operational feedback which are then used to refine performance, increase resilience and accelerate learning. Swarmer has headquarters in Austin, Texas, and maintains operations and teams in Ukraine, Poland and Estonia. For more information, visit www.getswarmer.com.

Upcoming capabilities span a unified console, actionable intelligence, autonomous service desk, and agentic workflows

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acronis, a global provider of an AI-native cyber platform for MSPs and IT departments, today unveiled the next phase of capabilities, bringing protection, infrastructure, management, business intelligence, and autonomous execution into a single user experience.

Presented during the Acronis Accelerate: The Journey to Autonomous IT event, the demonstration of new capabilities builds on a series of major product launches delivered since January 2026 and advances Acronis' vision for an AI-native operating environment in which technicians, business teams, and AI agents can work together within one natively integrated platform.

Acronis organizes its AI-native strategy around its "By AI, With AI, For AI" framework: using AI to accelerate secure product development; embedding AI, intelligence, and automation into the services MSPs use every day; and enabling partners to protect, manage, and automate services for increasingly AI-driven customer environments. Rather than adding isolated AI features to disconnected products, Acronis is building capabilities on its AI-native Acronis Cyber Platform.

Acronis Accelerate_JJ Jager

"AI-native is not a feature label for Acronis. It is the design principle we used for our platform, and it is the approach that guides how we build and operate our products, and how we help partners run and grow their businesses," said Jan-Jaap Jager, CEO of Acronis. "Our goal is to give MSPs one environment in which people and AI agents can work together securely, transparently, and at scale. The products Acronis is delivering this year bring that goal to life."

Advancing from AI assistance to autonomous execution

Acronis is expanding its AI-native platform with new innovations that help MSPs reduce operational friction, surface new business opportunities, and automate increasingly complex workflows. The next phase of Acronis Cyber Platform brings together four connected capabilities, including:

Acronis Cyber Console: A single, AI-native MSP workspace bringing protection, management, automation, and infrastructure together with one user experience for technicians, business teams, and AI agents.

Acronis Cyber Intelligence: An actionable intelligence layer providing transparency across operations, customer contracts, and protected endpoints. Cyber Intelligence is designed to identify service gaps and hidden revenue opportunities while helping partners anticipate issues, reduce ticket volumes, and make faster decisions.

Acronis Service Desk: Autonomous ticket workflows designed to address alert and context overload through automated enrichment, analysis, and remediation. Extensible integrations will allow service desk workflows to incorporate context and actions from across an MSP's technology ecosystem.

Acronis Cyber Studio: A workspace for creating and controlling deterministic and agentic workflows. MSP teams will be able to use natural language to design automations and agent-driven processes while retaining visibility, governance, and control over their execution.

Together, these capabilities are designed to help MSPs progress from greater visibility and AI-assisted decision-making to proactive intelligence, workflow automation, and governed autonomous execution. Delivered through a single, natively integrated platform, they help reduce the complexity, integration burden, and context switching associated with managing separate AI, service desk, and automation point solutions.

"The AI opportunity for the channel is here now but capturing it will require partners to invest in the journey rather than wait for comprehensive directives," said Rob Rae, Corporate Vice President of Community and Partner Experience at Pax8. "Acronis is putting the platform, intelligence and automation in place to help MSPs operate more autonomously and lead the next era of managed services."

A new infrastructure and migration path for service providers

Acronis Cyber Frame now offers integrated migration workflows to help partners move workloads from VMware and Microsoft Azure to Cyber Frame Cloud or Cyber Frame Local, supporting staged migration and controlled cutover. This added capability gives MSPs and cloud service providers a choice between Acronis-hosted Cyber Frame Cloud and partner-hosted Cyber Frame Local.

During the event, Paul Maritz, former CEO of VMware and former chairman of the Acronis Board, highlighted Cyber Frame as a platform for MSPs and organizations looking to modernize or migrate their infrastructure. "Acronis Cyber Frame is a cloud offering designed for MSPs and designed to be sold through MSPs," Maritz said. "It's an integrated platform with infrastructure, backup, disaster recovery, security, remote access and automation all built in. It's the most comprehensive solution option that's easy to manage and offers customers a great migration path forward from where they are today."

The foundation for autonomous IT

Since January 2026, Acronis has expanded its platform with four major launches: Acronis Archival Storage, Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU, Acronis GenAI Protection, and Acronis Cyber Frame. Together, they extend the platform across long-term data retention, managed threat detection and response, AI governance, and protected infrastructure to strengthen the foundation for more automated MSP operations.

Supporting open-source software development with Constructor Fabric

Separately during the event, Acronis joined Constructor Group and Virtuozzo in announcing Constructor Fabric, an Apache 2.0-licensed open-source software-delivery project governed by the independent Constructor Fabric Foundation. Constructor Fabric is an open-source AI fabric for Software as a Service that enables AI to define, build, and run software end to end with reusable components, operational automation, and built-in productivity measurement and insights.

Constructor Fabric is available to all Acronis partners and customers, enabling them to design and build secure, reliable, and cost-efficient applications, as well as customize and extend the Acronis platform for their unique requirements.
