As the industry rewires around electronics and software, Malaysia is trying to move from assembling cars to making the higher-value parts inside them, and to carry its own companies up the supply chain as it does.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 September 2026 - The global automotive industry is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades, and Malaysia is preparing for its next chapter.

The vehicle of the future will not be defined by its engine or its bodywork. It is becoming a combination of semiconductors, electronics, software, sensors and batteries, more connected, electrified and intelligent than anything before it. The question facing Malaysia, a country that has assembled cars for half a century, is whether its own companies can evolve at the same pace.

For the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), the agency that courts and screens industrial investment, the answer cannot simply be to attract more capital or build more vehicles. Its aim is to create deeper value: stronger technological capabilities, skilled talent, and Malaysian companies embedded more firmly in regional and global supply chains.

Beyond Traditional Manufacturing

Malaysia has spent decades building an automotive and manufacturing base, with established capabilities in electrical and electronics and in semiconductors. The task now, in MIDA's view, is to connect those strengths and steer investment toward the technologies that will define the next generation of mobility: automotive electronics, power systems, battery technology, advanced sensors, vehicle control systems, charging infrastructure and the software behind connected and automated vehicles.

The foundation is substantial. From 2017 through the first half of 2026, Malaysia approved RM71.7 billion, about US$16.9 billion, in investments across 745 projects in the transportation equipment sector, expected to generate over 59,000 jobs. That momentum has carried into this year. That momentum has carried into this year.

In the first half of 2026 alone, the country approved RM218.5 billion, about US$49 billion, in investments overall, almost 12 per cent more than a year earlier, with foreign investors accounting for RM126.9 billion of the total, an increase of more than 18 per cent. What MIDA says it is chasing now is not scale but depth, and the difference shows in the kind of work arriving.

"We are no longer measuring success by the size of the investment alone," said Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, the Chief Executive Officer of MIDA. "The RM218.5 billion we approved in just the first half of this year shows the confidence investors have in Malaysia, but the real test is what that investment leaves behind: the technology transferred, the talent built, and the number of Malaysian companies drawn into global supply chains. That is where the next chapter will be won, in the depth of the value we create, not simply the volume of what we attract."

Deepening Localisation, Strengthening Local Suppliers

Consider Mazda. The Japanese carmaker has maintained a long-standing presence in Malaysia through its partnership with Bermaz Auto, with local assembly providing an important foundation for expanding its manufacturing and supply-chain footprint in the country. In 2026, Mazda moved to deepen that presence through the local assembly of the All-New Mazda CX-5, with a targeted 60 per cent localisation level. The programme represents an important step in strengthening Malaysia's role as a regional manufacturing and export base for Mazda.

The significance of Mazda's commitment lies as much in what it creates for Malaysian companies as in the vehicles themselves. The localisation of the All-New CX-5 provides a platform for Malaysian automotive suppliers to participate more deeply in Mazda's supply chain, while creating opportunities for technology transfer, capability development and stronger industrial linkages between Malaysian and Japanese companies. In this context, localisation is not simply about increasing the percentage of locally sourced components, but about developing effective and higher-value local capabilities that can compete within regional and global automotive supply chains.

This is where MIDA has concentrated its efforts. Through the MIDA-Mazda Strategic Vendor Development and Supply Chain Programme in Hiroshima, Japan, from 19?25 July 2026, MIDA, together with Bermaz Auto, Mazda Malaysia and Mazda Motor Corporation, brought 16 Malaysian automotive vendors from sectors including chassis and suspension, stamping, precision machining, plastic injection moulding, cockpit modules, seating systems and insulation components to engage with Mazda and its Japanese supply-chain partners.

The programme resulted in the exchange of five Memorandums of Understanding between Malaysian and Japanese companies, creating concrete opportunities to support the localisation of the All-New Mazda CX-5.

For Malaysia, the deeper significance of Mazda's commitment therefore lies not only in the vehicles assembled locally, but in the industrial ecosystem developing around them. Each localisation project, supplier partnership and technology collaboration strengthens Malaysia's automotive manufacturing capabilities and creates opportunities for Malaysian vendors to move into higher-value activities. More importantly, Mazda's commitment to Malaysia as an ASEAN export hub provides a platform for local companies to integrate into regional supply chains and reinforces Malaysia's position as a competitive and increasingly sophisticated automotive manufacturing base.

From Tier Two, Upward

If Mazda is the carmaker whose deepening presence lifts others, Pecca Group is a Malaysian company climbing on its own. For a quarter of a century, Pecca has cut and stitched the leather that lines the seats of the cars Malaysians drive, supplying the national marques and the Japanese carmakers as a Tier-2 supplier, essential work that rarely commands the highest margins. It has never treated that as its ceiling.

Listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia since 2016 and employing some 800 people, the company is working toward Tier-1 status through seat assembly, and has carried its craft into aviation, manufacturing and refurbishing aircraft cabin interiors under European airworthiness approval for customers from the United States to Australia and the Gulf. "We have been a Tier-2 supplier for twenty-five years, and we are ready for the next chapter," said Foo Ken Nee, Chief Executive Officer of Pecca Group. "Moving up the value chain is how a Malaysian company like ours grows alongside the industry rather than beneath it." Pecca is one of several Malaysian firms, alongside names such as PMB Aluminium, Tomcare Resources and Xenso Tech, whose capabilities are increasingly worth putting before the world.

A Different Measure of Success

The next stage of Malaysia's industrial development, MIDA argues, will require relationships that go beyond the traditional buyer and supplier model, with local companies drawn earlier into product development and, over time, designing and engineering for international markets. Multinationals bring technology, global networks and market access; Malaysian firms bring manufacturing depth and, increasingly, their own engineering. The task is to bring those strengths together.

"Malaysia has assembled the world's cars for fifty years, and we are grateful for it," said Datuk Sikh Shamsul. "But our ambition now is larger. We want the next generation of vehicles to carry Malaysian technology, Malaysian engineering and Malaysian companies within them, not just Malaysian hands on the line. That is the future we are building toward, and the investments arriving today tell us it is within reach."

Ultimately, the country's success in this phase will not be measured by the number of investments secured, but by the depth of the value created: more Malaysian companies in the higher-value segments of the mobility chain, supplying global carmakers and developing technology, and more multinationals deepening their footprint here through research, engineering and supplier development. Malaysia has the industrial foundation, the electronics and automotive expertise, the talent and access to a growing ASEAN market. The challenge now is to connect those strengths more deeply, so that as the industry enters its next generation, the country is not simply along for the ride, but helping to build the road ahead.

TORONTO, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euro Sun Mining Inc. (TSX: ESM) ("Euro Sun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non‑binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") dated September 3, 2026 with Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie") and Trafigura PTE LTD ("Trafigura").

Under the terms of the MoU, the parties will work together on a proposed senior project finance facility of up to US$400 million (the "Facility") to support the development of the Company's Rovina Valley Gold‑Copper Project in Romania.

Under the MoU, Macquarie and Trafigura will work together during an 18‑month mandate period to conduct due diligence, develop a financing structure, and seek internal approvals required to deliver a commitment letter for arranging, syndicating and underwriting the Facility. While the MoU represents a binding agreement between the parties for appointment and process, the MoU does not constitute a financing commitment, and any Facility remains subject to successful completion of due diligence, internal approvals and execution of definitive documentation.

The MoU includes customary exclusivity provisions during the mandate period, a right of first refusal for Macquarie to participate in up to 15% of any qualifying alternative financing transaction during the term of the MoU and for 12 months following termination, and standard cost reimbursement, confidentiality and indemnity provisions.

Private Placement

Separately, Euro Sun has agreed to a term sheet with Urion Investments Holdings Limited ("Urion"), a Trafigura Group company, for a US$3 million strategic equity investment (the "Offering"), subject to certain conditions. Under the proposed terms of the Offering, Urion would subscribe for approximately 21.5 million units (each, a "Unit") at C$0.19 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.40 per share for 48 months from the closing of the Offering.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about September 4, 2026. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one day. Completion of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including without limitation, receipt of Toronto Stock Exchange approval, board approval, execution of definitive agreements, and other customary conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the Rovina Valley Project and general corporate purposes.

The MoU and term sheet are non‑binding and intended solely as a basis for further discussion. Any financing or investment transaction remains subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. The MoU and Offering are supplementary to, and do not alter or replace, the existing US$200 million commitment from Trafigura, which remains in full force and effect on its current terms.

"The signing of this MoU with Macquarie and Trafigura, alongside the strategic equity investment by Trafigura, represent a significant milestone for the Rovina Valley Project. Together with our existing arrangements, these agreements establish a substantial portion of the financing framework contemplated to advance the Project toward construction, subject to securing the remaining financing, and support our continued commitment to shareholders," says Grant Sboros, CEO of Euro Sun.

About Euro Sun Mining Inc.

Euro Sun is a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed mining company focused on the exploration and development of its 100%-owned Rovina Valley Project located in west-central Romania, which hosts the second largest copper & gold deposit in Europe. Already granted European strategic status, the Rovina Valley Project is expected to unlock much needed investment and job creation in Hunedoara County and will deliver critical minerals necessary for Europe's green energy transition.

*PU Prime responds to the magnitude 7.4 earthquake with emergency relief support in Choco.

*34 families receive essential supplies, including support for 14 families with babies.

*The initiative is delivered through the PU Prime Dream Fund and ABACO.

BOGOTA, Colombia, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck western Colombia, PU Prime has mobilised emergency relief supplies for affected communities in Choco, where access to assistance remains challenging.

Through the PU Prime Dream Fund, the company's Colombia team sourced and prepared essential supplies, including baby care products, hygiene items, and sleeping materials. The contribution was handed over through ABACO - Asociacion de Bancos de Alimentos de Colombia for onward delivery to the Wounaan community of Pichima, in the municipality of Litoral del San Juan.

The relief effort began on 19 August, with the PU Prime team sourcing essential items across Bogot? to address immediate needs identified in the affected community. This initiative supplies essential items to 34 families, including 14 with babies.

"People had lost their homes, and some families were spending the night outdoors, so we focused on items that could be used immediately-a sleeping mat, a blanket, hygiene essentials, and supplies for babies," said Ms. Doris Rodriguez, Corporate Relations Manager at Banco de Alimentos de Bogota ABACO.

"This was a modest contribution in the context of a much larger emergency, but everyone involved wanted to make sure the supplies were prepared properly and placed in the hands of a partner that could take them where they were needed."

From Bogota, ABACO coordinated the onward movement of the supplies to Quibdo, where they are currently awaiting the final leg of the journey to Pichima, Litoral de San Juan. With access to the remote community dependent on limited local transport connections, arrangements for the final leg are currently underway.

The Wounaan community of Pichima is located in a remote area of Choco that can only be reached through a combination of land and river transport. The impact of the earthquake is not always immediately visible from a distance, as wooden homes can appear structurally intact while closer inspection reveals missing roofs, damaged supports, and interiors exposed to the elements.

PU Prime would like to express its deepest sympathies to all those affected by the earthquake and stands with the people of Colombia during this difficult time. Through the PU Prime Dream Fund, the company supports community initiatives that create meaningful opportunities and provide practical support where it is needed. In Colombia, this response reflects that commitment by helping address immediate needs following the earthquake.

BEIJING, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CGTN menerbitkan artikel yang menyoroti bagaimana kerja sama Tiongkok-Mesir kini tidak lagi terbatas pada berbagai proyek industri, melainkan telah meluas menjadi hubungan ekonomi dan strategis yang lebih dalam. Artikel ini menyoroti Zona Kerja Sama Ekonomi dan Perdagangan Suez, meningkatnya ekspor pertanian Mesir ke Tiongkok, serta makna lebih luas dari hubungan kedua negara yang telah terjalin selama 70 tahun.

Satu dekade telah berlalu sejak Tiongkok dan Mesir meluncurkan fase kedua zona kerja sama ekonomi dan perdagangan bersama di kawasan gurun sepanjang Terusan Suez. Kini, wilayah itu telah tumbuh menjadi klaster industri yang menaungi hampir 200 perusahaan dan membuka sekitar 10.000 lapangan kerja. Perkembangan ini menjadi bukti nyata bagaimana kerja sama bilateral mampu mendorong pembangunan di tingkat lokal.

Zona Kerja Sama Ekonomi dan Perdagangan TEDA Tiongkok-Mesir di Suez telah menarik minat berbagai perusahaan di bidang bahan bangunan, peralatan perminyakan, serta peralatan dan mesin kelistrikan. Menurut laporan People's Daily, total investasi kumulatif di zona ini telah melampaui $4,7 miliar. Kawasan yang sebelumnya merupakan gurun yang belum tersentuh pembangunan itu kini telah berubah menjadi platform industri yang menghubungkan Inisiatif Sabuk dan Jalan (Belt and Road Initiative) Tiongkok dengan strategi pembangunan Mesir untuk Koridor Terusan Suez.

Transformasi ini mencerminkan pergeseran yang lebih luas dalam hubungan Tiongkok-Mesir, dari sekadar proyek infrastruktur yang berdiri sendiri, menuju kerja sama yang memadukan investasi, lapangan kerja, dan pasar. Dalam pembicaraan dengan Presiden Mesir Abdel Fattah El-Sisi pada hari Rabu, Presiden Tiongkok Xi Jinping menyatakan bahwa kedua negara perlu memperdalam kerja sama. Ia juga menekankan pentingnya terus memajukan pembangunan komunitas Tiongkok-Mesir dengan masa depan bersama.

Mesin baru bagi pembangunan lokal

Zona Suez kini melangkah semakin jauh dari sekadar manufaktur konvensional, ditandai dengan hadirnya berbagai proyek tenaga surya dan ekonomi sirkular yang mulai tumbuh. Perkembangan ini membawa kawasan itu menuju pembangunan yang lebih hijau dan rendah karbon. Ekspansi ke berbagai sektor baru ini juga telah memberikan manfaat lebih langsung bagi perekonomian dan tenaga kerja Mesir.

Berbagai proyek investasi Tiongkok telah membantu memperkuat pasokan listrik Mesir, salah satunya proyek gardu induk taman tenaga surya yang telah menghasilkan sekitar 16.000 gigawatt-jam listrik sejak selesai dibangun. Di sisi lain, perusahaan-perusahaan Tiongkok juga telah melatih para insinyur dan pekerja lokal, sehingga tidak sedikit karyawan Mesir yang kini berhasil menduduki posisi teknis dan manajerial. Pada usaha patungan antara China XD Electric dan EGEMAC milik Mesir, karyawan lokal mendominasi hingga 97% dari total tenaga kerja.

Kerja sama semacam ini merupakan bagian dari model pembangunan yang saling menguntungkan secara lebih luas. Menjelang kunjungannya, Xi Jinping menulis artikel bertanda tangan yang dipublikasikan di media Mesir. Di sana, ia menyatakan Tiongkok dan Mesir hendaknya "berupaya mewujudkan manfaat bersama dan kerja sama saling menguntungkan, serta menetapkan tolok ukur bagi pembangunan bersama."

Produk Mesir menemukan pasar yang terus tumbuh di Tiongkok

Hubungan ini semakin berjalan dalam dua arah, seiring dengan semakin terbuka lebarnya akses berbagai produk Mesir ke pasar konsumen Tiongkok yang besar.

Menurut data resmi Tiongkok, perdagangan Tiongkok dengan Mesir mencapai 95,19 miliar yuan ($14,16 miliar) dalam tujuh bulan pertama tahun 2026, naik 18,7% dibandingkan periode yang sama tahun sebelumnya. Ekspor Tiongkok ke Mesir naik 17,5%, sementara itu impor dari Mesir melonjak 49,4%.

Perdagangan komoditas pertanian telah menjadi sektor dengan pertumbuhan pesat. Impor Tiongkok atas produk pertanian Mesir naik 82,6% dalam tujuh bulan pertama, menyumbang 41,7% dari total impor Tiongkok dari Mesir. Mesir merupakan sumber terbesar stroberi beku bagi Tiongkok dan sumber terbesar ketiga untuk rami. Kedua produk itu masing-masing menyumbang 96,7% dan 7,7% dari total impor Tiongkok.

Mesir, salah satu eksportir jeruk terkemuka dunia, mengirimkan jeruk segar senilai sekitar $26 juta ke Tiongkok pada tahun 2025. Eksportir komoditas pertanian yang beberapa kali dalam setahun bepergian ke Tiongkok mengatakan kuatnya permintaan konsumen Tiongkok terhadap jeruk Mesir telah mendorong para produsen untuk meningkatkan kualitas.

Dalam sebuah artikel, surat kabar Al-Ahram di Mesir menyebutkan bahwa langkah tarif nol persen Tiongkok bagi berbagai produk Afrika telah membuka akses ke pasar dengan lebih dari 1,4 miliar penduduk. Meskipun demikian, surat kabar itu juga mencatat tarif lebih rendah saja tidak akan menjamin keberhasilan. Kualitas produk, pasokan stabil, dan strategi pemasaran yang disesuaikan dengan pasar lokal tetap menjadi faktor penting bagi perusahaan Mesir yang ingin memperluas pasar di Tiongkok, demikian ungkap surat kabar itu.

Melampaui hubungan bilateral

Seiring dengan peringatan 70 tahun hubungan diplomatik Tiongkok dan Mesir, makna hubungan ini pun melampaui sekadar perdagangan dan investasi. Mesir merupakan negara Arab dan Afrika pertama yang menjalin hubungan diplomatik dengan Republik Rakyat Tiongkok. Sejak itu, kedua negara telah memperluas kerja sama di bidang budaya, pendidikan, sains dan teknologi, kesehatan, serta bidang-bidang lainnya.

Xi Jinping menyatakan Tiongkok dan Mesir telah menjadi teladan persahabatan, solidaritas, dan koordinasi antarnegara berkembang, sekaligus menegaskan bahwa kedua negara merupakan anggota penting dari kelompok Global South.

Posisi Mesir memberikan dimensi regional yang lebih luas bagi kemitraan itu. Sebagai negara Arab dan Afrika yang besar, Mesir berperan sebagai penghubung antara dunia Arab dan Afrika. Selain itu, Tiongkok dan Mesir juga turut berkoordinasi dalam berbagai kerangka kerja multilateral, termasuk Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa dan BRICS.

Di tengah situasi ketidakstabilan yang terus berlangsung di Timur Tengah, Xi Jinping menyerukan otonomi regional lebih besar dalam bidang keamanan serta pendekatan komprehensif terhadap berbagai isu rawan konflik. Ia juga menekankan pentingnya pembangunan sebagai landasan bagi keamanan, disertai koordinasi internasional yang lebih kuat.

Amid rising textile waste crisis, environmental NGO Redress' world-leading sustainable fashion competition winner proves that designing out waste is one of fashion's biggest opportunities

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 September 2026 - Redress, the Hong Kong-based, Asia-focused environmental NGO accelerating circular fashion, announced the winner of the Redress Design Award 2026, the world's leading sustainable fashion design competition, at a star-studded runway finale at CENTRESTAGE, Asia's annual fashion showcase.

The finalists' runway collections, designed using circular techniques including factory surplus, discarded garments, excess new stock, furnishings waste, tackled the global textile waste crisis and highlighted what most fashion consumers do not realise: an estimated 80% of a product's environmental impact is locked in at design stage[1], long before the clothes hit the shop floor.

"My generation of designers won't be judged just on aesthetics. We must understand circularity - durability, repairability and recyclability - from the drawing board to fill the racks with what more consumers hope to buy. Coming into this wasteful fashion industry is intimidating and we must respond with courage," said Jon Liesenfeld, from Germany, Redress Design Award 2026 First Prize Winner, who outdesigned seven other finalists from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, United Kingdom, Austria, and Israel.

As Lead Sponsor, the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency (CCIDA) has supported the Award as a cornerstone project for 14 consecutive years. "Creativity and sustainability have never been more closely intertwined than they are today," shared Drew Lai, Commissioner for Cultural and Creative Industries, CCIDA. "We take great pride in the legacy of the Award: over 350 alumni across more than 40 regions, many of whom have gone on to translate circular design principles into thriving, real-world practice ? a clear testament to the Award's wide-reaching impact."

The fashion industry must reinvent itself - from the drawing board up

Textile waste is a global crisis, with an estimated 120 million tonnes generated annually, of which 80% ends up in landfills or being incinerated[2]. The global textile industry is only 0.3% circular[3].

"Whilst the fashion industry faces serious challenges - from geopolitical pressures, inflation, complex global supply chains to incoming legislation - it is catastrophically still on its wasteful, runaway trainwreck," said Dr. Christina Dean, Founder, Redress. "Circularity is flat-lining despite circular textile business models being estimated to generate US$700 billion in economic value by 2030[4] and whilst clothing waste sky rockets, which will be exacerbated by global dominance of ultra fast fashion brands. Redress' work to catalyse circular fashion is critical and our educational movement has reached millions of designers in almost 100 countries worldwide," she said.

All finalists join Redress' Alumni global network of 350+ designers who continue sparking solutions. Alumnus Kevin Germanier closed Paris Couture Week this spring with a collection made entirely from LVMH-owned brands' excess inventory across. Alumnus Angus Tsui and Eric Wong have transformed retired DHL courier uniforms into accessories.

Upcycling continues moving mainstream, with LVMH Group, Miu Miu, Coach, Uniqlo, Converse, Wrangler and Vivienne Westwood, developing various upcycled collections, selling its creativity and uniqueness rather than sustainability alone.

Incoming regulation, particularly the European Union's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), Extender Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the ban on destroying unsold clothing and footwear, have given brands more incentive to embrace upcycling than just a few years ago.

Redress Design Award 2026 Prizes expose winners to array of British businesses

Jon Liesenfeld wins an educational journey to British fashion businesses; from design-led apparel manufacturers, Simple Approach who produce 50 million apparel pieces annually for brands including Primark and Next; luxury womenswear brand Roksanda, worn by Her Royal Highness Catherine, Princess of Wales, Michelle Obama, Kate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway. This prize is supported by GREAT Britain & Northern Ireland Campaign.

The runner-up, Jasmine Cheuk from Hong Kong, wins a mentorship with distinguished British fashion activist and competition judge, Orsola de Castro, who has mentored Redress' competition winners every cycle for the last decade and has been a judge since the competition's inception. Jasmine also won the Hong Kong Best prize.

Redress empowers emerging designers to help close the educational skills gap

Redress recognises the urgent need to equip designers with the skills required to narrow the educational gap within the fashion industry. An integrative review of 81 papers found that mainstream fashion design courses still "scarcely incorporate sustainability within their curricula", underscoring the need to strengthen sustainability education through both theoretical understanding and practical application.[5] To date, Redress has directly educated 36,500+ fashion designers and educators and has generated 18 million views across its online educational resources.

In addition to education, Redress builds strategic industry partnerships to create real-world pathways for designers. During the Redress Design Award 2026, finalists remade discarded, unwearable post-consumer clothing waste into retail-ready collections for multi-brand fashion retailer, D-mop, in collaboration with TAL Apparel, leading global garment manufacturer. This work was delivered as part of the 'Remake to Retail' challenge; the resulting collection is scheduled to launch with D-mop later this year.

Redress Design Award turns consumer concern into sustainable demand

Engaging with consumers to drive the sustainable fashion movement is critical, given rampant overconsumption and clothing underutilisation, which results in the majority of clothing being landfilled or burned within one year of production.[6] Whilst the majority of consumers believe brands have a responsibility to make positive change in the world[7], an intention gap between what consumers think and what they do persists, whereby 71% of global consumers are concerned about sustainability in fashion, yet only 3% of them are willing to pay a premium for it.[8]

Through the Redress Design Award, finalists demonstrate that sustainable fashion can be desirable. By showcasing exceptional design and compelling storytelling, and by bringing remade clothing into mainstream spaces, these next-generation designers motivate consumers to actively choose more sustainable options, turning concern into demand.

New and expanded facilities include DHL Supply Chain's upcoming Pharma Hub 2, DHL Global Forwarding's Singapore Coldchain Hub, and a dedicated GDP-compliant (Good Distribution Practice-compliant) healthcare space at DHL Express' South Asia Hub

The investments position Singapore as a regional hub for temperature-sensitive and high-value healthcare supply chain

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 September 2026 - Following the opening of its Pharma Hub last year, DHL Group is further strengthening its Life Sciences and Healthcare (LSHC) capabilities in Singapore through a series of investments that enhance its DHL Health Logistics network and expand its capacity to transport, store and distribute pharmaceuticals, medical devices, clinical trial materials and other healthcare products across Asia Pacific.

The investments focus on three pillars: infrastructure, specialist expertise, and strategic partnerships. Together, they help maintain product integrity throughout the healthcare supply chain.

Asia Pacific's pharmaceutical logistics market is projected to grow from US$163 billion in 2025 to nearly US$239 billion by 2031, driven by rising demand for biologics, vaccines and other temperature-sensitive products that require specialized storage and transportation. As healthcare supply chains become increasingly complex, manufacturers are looking for logistics partners, who can protect product integrity and meet stringent regulatory requirements.

To accede to that demand, DHL is putting new infrastructure across its Express, Global Forwarding and Supply Chain businesses, while continuing to grow its healthcare expertise and build closer ties across the broader logistics ecosystem.

The investments also build on DHL Group's broader commitment to LSHC and the continued expansion of DHL Health Logistics including the EUR500 million earmarked for Asia Pacific as part of EUR2 billion global investment in the sector announced in 2025. The program covers infrastructure and technology across storage, order fulfilment, distribution, global transportation and last-mile delivery.

Infrastructure: Singapore Coldchain Hub, Pharma Hub 2, and dedicated GDP-compliant space at South Asia Hub

DHL Global Forwarding is strengthening Singapore's role in regional healthcare trade through the DHL Singapore Coldchain Hub, a dedicated healthcare logistics facility that will form part of DHL's broader Health Logistics Air Freight Network connecting key pharmaceutical and life sciences markets worldwide.

By combining global air connectivity with specialized healthcare handling capabilities, the network helps customers move sensitive pharmaceutical and life sciences shipments with greater reliability, visibility and temperature integrity across critical healthcare trade lanes. Together with a pharmaceutical corridor initiative being developed with ecosystem partners, the investment will help create more seamless, compliant and resilient healthcare supply chains across Asia Pacific and key healthcare trade lanes.

Located within Changi's 24/7 Free Trade Zone at Changi Nexus One, the S$22 million (?15 million) facility will provide 3,047 sqm of GDP-aligned temperature-controlled infrastructure for high-value, time- and temperature-sensitive healthcare cargo, including pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and biologics. With dedicated 2?C to 8?C and 15?C to 25?C handling environments, the facility is designed to support an unbroken cold chain from aircraft to a DHL facility and onward to customers' warehouses, minimizing temperature excursions and reducing the need for supplementary temperature-control measures and packaging while preserving product integrity throughout transit. The facility is slated for launch in late 2027.

"In healthcare logistics, precision is non-negotiable. A temperature excursion of just a few degrees can compromise the integrity of high-value medicines, biologics and other critical healthcare products. That is why building an end-to-end, unbroken cold chain is essential. Beyond protecting products, it gives healthcare companies the confidence that life-saving therapies can move safely, compliantly, and reliably across increasingly complex global supply chains. By combining specialized infrastructure, direct airside connectivity and dedicated temperature-controlled handling solutions, our new Singapore Coldchain Hub will help minimize product exposure throughout the shipment journey and give customers greater assurance that their products will arrive in the right condition, at the right time, to the patients who depend on them," added Praveen Gregory, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

DHL Supply Chain is building on the success of the Pharma Hub first launched in Singapore last year with a second pharma hub to further expand its healthcare logistics footprint in the country. The new $S7 million (?5 million) facility will provide additional controlled ambient storage capacity for pharmaceutical and medical device customers, supporting services such as warehousing, distribution, kitting and value-added healthcare logistics operations.

Spanning over 8,000 sqm, the facility is designed as a 100 percent temperature-controlled ambient facility operating at temperatures between 15?C and 25?C with humidity control below 60 percent. The facility will accommodate approximately 7,680 pallet positions and incorporate GDP-compliant and GMP-aligned (Good Manufacturing Practice-aligned) infrastructure, including dedicated redressing rooms to support specialized healthcare logistics requirements. With both pharma hubs, DHL Supply Chain's total pharmaceutical logistics footprint in Singapore will amount to approximately 16,000 sqm and accommodate around 12,000 pallet positions. It is expected to begin operations by the first half of 2027.

"Capacity on its own isn't the goal. It's what that capacity allows our customers to do," said Eunis Hew, Managing Director, DHL Supply Chain Singapore. "Pharma Hub 2 builds on the strong foundation we have established with Pharma Hub, giving our customers additional room to grow while maintaining the quality and compliance standards their products require. As healthcare supply chains become more sophisticated, purpose-built infrastructure becomes increasingly important."

DHL Express has installed a GDP-compliant handling and storage space of around 20 sqm at its South Asia Hub at Changi Airport. The controlled ambient room with a temperature range of 15?C to 25 ?C allows temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments to move securely through one of the region's most important air logistics gateways. This also marks the first GDP-compliant healthcare logistics space within a DHL Express facility globally.

GDP-compliant processes help ensure that medicines are handled under appropriate conditions, remain traceable and maintain their quality throughout the distribution journey.

"When it comes to healthcare shipments, every handoff matters," said Christopher Ong, Managing Director, DHL Express Singapore. "By expanding GDP-compliant handling and storage capabilities within our South Asia Hub, we're helping customers reduce risk during transit and maintain the integrity of temperature-sensitive products throughout their journey. That reliability is critical especially when those shipments support clinical trials, hospital treatments and patient care."

People: Building expertise in teams

Infrastructure is only one part of healthcare logistics. DHL is also investing in specialized healthcare logistics expertise across its operations to help ensure temperature-sensitive and regulated products are handled consistently at every stage of the journey. Teams across Express, Global Forwarding and Supply Chain receive ongoing training in areas such as temperature-controlled handling, GDP requirements, quality management and regulatory compliance, supported by DHL's Certified Life Sciences Specialist program. These programs keep employees up to date with evolving industry standards and equip them with the knowledge needed to support increasingly complex healthcare supply chains.

LSAF Global, in partnership with ISCA and the Professional Services (PS) Centre Alliance, brings the PS Centre ecosystem to businesses in Indonesia.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 September 2026 - A business expanding into another country may need an accountant, lawyer, tax adviser, talent specialist and local business partner before it can make its first move.

The challenge is often not finding advisers. It is knowing where to start.

LSAF Global, in partnership with the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) and the Professional Services (PS) Centre Alliance, is bringing the PS Centre ecosystem to businesses in Indonesia, connecting them with professional expertise, trusted networks and opportunities across Singapore, Indonesia and the region.

The PS Centre is a collaborative network that aims to make that easier by giving businesses a trusted starting point to find professional expertise, local market knowledge and business connections when expanding across the region.

Businesses in Indonesia can tap on the wider PS Centre network, which currently spans Hongqiao in Shanghai, Ho Chi Minh City, Nanjing and Singapore.

The network is set to grow further, with Johor, Shenzhen and Bangkok among the next locations being developed.

Together, the PS Centres and wider ecosystem are intended to create trusted business corridors across the region so that companies entering a new market do not have to start from zero.

Cross-border business is getting harder

The collaboration in Indonesia comes at a time when companies are looking overseas for growth while facing a more complicated business environment.

Tariffs and geopolitical tensions are changing where companies manufacture and source their products. Supply chains are being redesigned. AI and cyber risks are creating new business questions. Sustainability requirements are changing how companies operate and report.

Increasingly, these problems do not sit neatly within one profession.

A company may start with a tariff question only to discover that it also needs tax, legal and supply chain advice. Another may see an opportunity in Indonesia but need help finding local partners and understanding how best to enter the market.

The PS Centre ecosystem brings different forms of expertise and business networks together so companies do not have to navigate these issues alone.

The collaboration comes amid strong economic links between Singapore and Indonesia.

From Singapore to Indonesia and from Indonesia to the region

The PS Centre ecosystem is designed to work across markets.

Singapore businesses entering Indonesia can connect with local professional advisers, business networks and partners on the ground through LSAF Global and the wider PS Centre ecosystem.

Indonesian businesses looking towards Singapore can tap the Singapore PS Centre and Singapore's professional services ecosystem.

A business looking beyond Indonesia and Singapore can tap the wider network for support in Vietnam and China. As new centres open, the network will extend into more markets.

Across its existing locations, the PS Centre network has already facilitated more than 90 business connections, supported 100 companies and engaged over 700 businesses and professionals.

The ambition goes beyond opening centres in different cities.

It is to build a connected ecosystem and trusted business corridors that connect opportunities in one market with trusted expertise and networks in another.

Helping businesses solve cross-border challenges

A key initiative being expanded across the PS Centre network is the Business Growth Clinic.

Its premise is simple.

Businesses do not always know which professional they need. They simply know they have a problem to solve.

A manufacturer may produce different parts of the same product across several countries and need help understanding how changing tariffs affect its business.

A professional services firm may want to access talent in another market but is unsure how to structure its operations.

Another business may be looking for an overseas partner, considering an acquisition or trying to understand how geopolitical changes could affect where it invests next.

Instead of figuring out which adviser to approach first, businesses can bring their problem to the Business Growth Clinic.

Depending on the issue, accountants, lawyers, tax specialists, valuers, consultants and other professionals can come together to understand the problem and connect the business with the expertise it needs.

Businesses in Indonesia will also be able to tap the Business Growth Clinic through the PS Centre ecosystem. A Singapore company facing a business issue in Vietnam can tap expertise through the Ho Chi Minh City PS Centre. An Indonesian business looking to establish operations in Singapore can connect with professionals through the Singapore PS Centre. A business exploring China can access support through Hongqiao.

As the PS Centre network expands, the reach of the Business Growth Clinic will expand with it.

Mr Lee Boon Teck, President of the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), said: "Businesses do not always know which professional they need. They simply know they have a problem to solve. The strength of the PS Centre lies in the network we are building together: connecting businesses with professional expertise, trusted networks and opportunities across markets. The PS Centre Alliance can help businesses in Singapore and Indonesia make the connections they need to grow across the region."

Connecting businesses with professional expertise

The initiative is led by the PS Centre Alliance, comprising the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, Institute of Valuers & Appraisers Singapore, Singapore Business Federation, Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Singapore Manufacturing Federation, Tax Academy of Singapore, The Law Society of Singapore and ISCA.

The Alliance brings together organisations representing both sides of the equation: businesses looking for opportunities and professional services firms with the expertise to help them pursue those opportunities.

In Indonesia, this gathering of the PS Centre Alliance partners to build relationships with local business and professional organisations, including the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO), Singapore Chamber of Commerce Indonesia, The Indonesia Capital Market Institute (TICMI) and Kongres Advokat Indonesia (KAI).

These relationships will help connect businesses with people who understand the local market while linking them to the wider PS Centre network.

Building sustainability capabilities in Indonesia

ISCA and Universitas Sahid (USAHID) will enter a three-year collaboration to strengthen sustainability capabilities in Indonesia.

The collaboration will facilitate access to the ISCA Sustainability Professional Certification for eligible USAHID students, faculty members, alumni and other participants. It will also support learning and knowledge sharing in sustainability reporting and related areas.

The collaboration aims to connect academic learning with professional practice and build a stronger pool of professionals who can support businesses as sustainability requirements evolve.

Prof. Dr. Ir. Giyatmi, M.Si., Rector of Universitas Sahid, said: "Bringing the Professional Services Centre ecosystem to businesses in Indonesia represents an important step in strengthening collaboration between Indonesia and Singapore's professional and business communities. We believe the ecosystem can serve as a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, professional development, and stronger connections between academia and industry. Universitas Sahid is pleased to support this initiative and looks forward to contributing to the development of future-ready professionals who can support sustainable and regional economic growth."

The collaboration in Indonesia marks another step in building a regional network where businesses, professional services firms and local partners can connect across markets.

As businesses increasingly look beyond their home markets for growth, the aim is simple: when a business sees an opportunity across borders, it should not have to start from zero.

ANNEX

Ms Hamidah Aidillah, Vice President, Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, said: "For Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) looking to grow overseas, finding the right connections and trusted support in a new market can be challenging. Through the PS Centre Alliance's collaboration in Indonesia, businesses can gain access to professional expertise and local networks, helping Singapore SMEs better navigate the Indonesian market and pursue opportunities for growth across the region. This move is also in line with ASME's internatiolisation efforts across ASEAN. "

Mr Lie Kok Keong, Council Chairperson, Institute of Valuers and Appraisers Singapore, said: "Bringing the PS Centre ecosystem to businesses in Indonesia creates meaningful new opportunities for Chartered Valuers and Appraiser (CVA) holders to connect with a wider network of professionals in Indonesia through fostering knowledge exchange and capacity building. We encourage CVA holders to leverage on the wider network to build ties with their Indonesian counterparts to grow and create opportunities together."

Mr Mark Lee, Chairman of Singapore Business Federation, said: "Businesses today need to remain agile and diversify their markets to build long-term resilience. Indonesia's long term growth prospects and close ties with Singapore offer significant opportunities for our companies. By bringing PS Centre Jakarta and SEC@Jakarta together, we can make it easier for businesses to access our collective networks, advisory expertise and facilitation support, and help them turn these opportunities into meaningful partnerships and growth."

Mr Ernie Koh, Council Member, Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI), said: "Indonesia is an important market for many Singapore businesses seeking to expand their regional presence. Through the PS Centre Alliance's collaboration in Indonesia, enterprises can access trusted professional support and local networks, helping them better navigate the market and build the connections needed for cross-border growth."

Mr Wayne Yap, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation, said: "Professional services firms are important partners in helping manufacturers understand new markets, manage business requirements and expand with confidence. Through the PS Centre ecosystem, businesses will bring together professional expertise, industry networks and local market connections to support manufacturers and other businesses pursuing opportunities in Indonesia and across the region."

Mr Dennis Lui, Chief Executive Officer, Tax Academy of Singapore, said: "Tax is not a footnote to cross-border investment ? It can determine whether opportunity becomes reality. Tax Academy of Singapore sits at the intersection of government, industry, and academia, enabling us to translate policy into practical capability and connect the people who make investment happen. Through the PS Centre Alliance's collaboration in Indonesia, we want to bring that strength to the Singapore-Indonesia corridor ? helping businesses move from opportunity to execution."

Ms Peggy Yee, Treasurer and Council Member of The Law Society of Singapore said: "With more businesses expanding across borders and industries, the ability to navigate legal and regulatory complexities will become a critical skill for both businesses and firms. Bringing the PS Centre ecosystem to businesses in Indonesia will further provide valuable and trusted support for enterprises in the region, ensuring access to trusted legal expertise along with other professional services."

BERLIN, GERMANY - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 September 2026 - ECOVACS has been named the global No.1 home robotics brand in a newly released research report by Forbes China, which recognizes its leadership across multiple home robotics categories.

Built on in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities and scalable technology stacks, the company has expanded from floor care to windows, lawns, and pools, with its service robotics now serving more than 38 million households across nearly 180 markets worldwide.

"The future of home robotics is not about adding more products. It is about giving people more freedom from everyday tasks," said David Qian, CEO of ECOVACS ROBOTICS. "By reusing around 80% of our core technologies and adapting 20% to each scenario, we can bring robotics from floors and windows to lawns and pools. Looking ahead, we will continue to innovate to make robotics more intelligent, autonomous and accessible, helping more people enjoy an easier everyday life."

From Indoors to Outdoors: Expanding the Role of Home Robotics

For ECOVACS, the vision of "Robotics for All" means bringing the benefits of service robotics into more parts of everyday life.

ECOVACS' expansion into new household environments began with windows. Since pioneering the robotic window cleaning category with its first WINBOT in 2011, ECOVACS has continuously evolved its robotics to address real consumer needs.

The latest WINBOT W3 OMNI, showcased at IFA 2026, features Vortex Wash, an industry-first automatic wiping-pad cleaning technology that eliminates the hassle of manually washing dirty pads. With more than 1.5 million households worldwide using WINBOT products[1], ECOVACS ranks No. 1 globally in category shipments, according to IDC.[2]

The same idea extends outdoors. For many households, lawn care is a recurring task, with edges among the most difficult areas to keep neat. ECOVACS is showcasing the GOAT T Series at IFA 2026, addressing this challenge with TruEdge Trimmer, designed to cut closely along lawn borders and leave less work behind for users, while the industry-exclusive HoloScope 360 Dual-LiDAR Navigation help it handle different yard layouts with greater autonomy. To date, robotic lawn mowers GOAT have covered nearly 1.4 billion sq. m. of lawn globally ? equivalent to around 200,000 standard soccer pitches.

In floor care, ECOVACS pioneered OZMO ROLLER technology to tackle one of the most persistent cleaning challenges: stubborn messes without spreading dirt back across the floor. Featured on the DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone at IFA 2026, the latest OZMO ROLLER 3.0 combines strong cleaning pressure with continuous self-washing to keep the roller clean as it cleans, helping users achieve a deeper clean with less effort. Since its global introduction in September 2024, OZMO ROLLER-equipped models have reached more than 2.8 million units in cumulative global shipments as of July 2026, according to ECOVACS' internal data.

Building on its expertise across floor, window and lawn care, ECOVACS is extending the robotics experience to pool cleaning. Showcased at IFA 2026, the ULTRAMARINE L1 PRO is designed to take the time and effort out of pool care, autonomously navigating and cleaning different pool environments with minimal user intervention. By bringing robotics to another traditionally hands-on task, ECOVACS is making pool care simpler.

Technology Stacks Powering Global Multi-Category Leadership

Underpinning this multi-category success is scalable technology stacks spanning robotics, sensing, motion control, cleaning, and power management. Rather than building each category from the ground up, ECOVACS can adapt and scale proven robotics capabilities across different environments and user needs, creating a platform built to move from one scenario to the next.

This strategy is backed by more than 900 R&D professionals, RMB 554 million in R&D investment in the first half of 2026, and more than 3,100 patents [3]. Its vertically integrated R&D and manufacturing model further strengthens this technology advantage, giving ECOVACS greater control over key robotics technologies and shortening the path from innovation to products people can use. Together, these capabilities enable ECOVACS to bring proven robotics expertise into new categories and markets at scale, while staying focused on where robotics can create meaningful value in everyday life.

The results are increasingly visible in global markets. In the first half of 2026, global shipments of ECOVACS service robots increased 44.1% year on year, while revenue from new categories, including robotic window cleaners, robotic lawn mowers and robotic pool cleaners, grew 75.1% in international markets. For the first time, international markets accounted for more than half of ECOVACS' total revenue in Q2 2026, reaching 51%. The milestone reflects how the company's robotics portfolio is increasingly scaling beyond China.

As ECOVACS expands into more categories and markets around the world, it is bringing its robotics innovation to more people, making everyday life easier wherever they live. At IFA Berlin 2026, visitors can experience this vision at IFA 2026, Hall 9, Booth 113 at Messe Berlin, September 4 to 8.

About ECOVACS ROBOTICS

Founded in 2006, ECOVACS ROBOTICS is a global leader in home service robotics with a diverse portfolio of products encompassing robotic vacuum cleaners and robotic window cleaners. With its expansion into robotic lawn mowers, commercial cleaning robots, robotic pool cleaners and robotic pet companions, ECOVACS solidified its position as a multi-category leader in home service robotics.

From left to right: Angie Tay (EVP and Group COO), guest of honour Mr. Guo Yaoyu (Deputy Director, Management Office, Nanhai District, Foshan ), Laurent Junique (Founder and CEO), Chin Tze Neng (CFO), Michael Cowell (Managing Director, Hong Kong) and Tony Chen (Country Director, China).

New Cantonese and Mandarin capable campus extends TDCX's Hong Kong operations into the Greater Bay Area, pairing local talent with TDCX's proprietary AI solutions for faster launches and future-ready CX and growth.

FOSHAN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 September 2026 - TDCX, a leading global customer experience solutions firm, opened its newest campus in Foshan, China on September 2, 2026, marking the company's sixth center in the country and reinforcing the Greater Bay Area as one of its most strategic delivery hubs in Asia.

The Foshan campus is purpose-built to serve Hong Kong businesses seeking a scalable, Cantonese-capable delivery hub just 90 minutes from Central, as well as mainland Chinese enterprises across the wider Greater Bay Area seeking AI-enabled customer experience and growth operations.

Foshan was selected for its deep, scalable pool of Cantonese and Mandarin capable talent and its position within the evolving Greater Bay Area technology and AI ecosystem. For Hong Kong businesses, the city offers a natural complement to their existing operations rather than a replacement. For mainland Chinese businesses, it offers access to TDCX's AI-enabled delivery model and the depth of talent needed to run complex, high-quality operations at scale.

The move comes as TDCX continues to expand its footprint across Greater China, giving clients on both sides of the border faster access to talent, agile launch capabilities, and TDCX's proprietary AI solutions, which support the next generation of customer experience and B2B growth.

Hong Kong Managing Director, Michael Cowell said: "Foshan gives Hong Kong businesses an execution engine right next door, and gives mainland Chinese businesses access to the same AI-enabled delivery model that sets TDCX apart globally. Clients no longer have to choose between deep local market knowledge and the scale, speed, and cost efficiency of the Greater Bay Area and with Foshan, they get both, backed by proprietary AI tools built specifically for customer experience and growth operations. This campus reflects our commitment to helping businesses across Hong Kong and China scale smarter without leaving the ecosystem they know."

A campus built for agility, speed, and AI-enabled advantage

The new Foshan campus is designed to support small-pod pilots that launch in as little as 60 to 90 days, allowing clients to test chat, email, voice, social, or back-office support quickly before scaling. Typical pilot pods range from 3 to 10 full-time employees, giving businesses a low-risk, fast-entry path into the market.

Every pod at TDCX Foshan is underpinned by TDCX's proprietary AI solutions, including QA modernization tools, coaching insights, agent-assist workflows, and voice-of-customer analytics, giving Hong Kong and mainland clients a level of operational intelligence and consistency that differentiates TDCX from traditional BPO providers. TDCX Foshan offers a suite of easy-entry packages designed for Hong Kong businesses and mainland Chinese enterprises alike, including the Foshan Launch Pod for rapid market testing, the Cantonese CX Pod for Cantonese first voice, chat, email, and social support with optional Mandarin and English coverage, the Growth Pod for B2B outbound prospecting, lead qualification, and appointment setting, and an AI-Enabled CX Upgrade for existing teams.

The campus is well positioned to serve clients across e-commerce and retail, travel and hospitality, tech and digital platforms, and financial services, sectors that are increasingly turning to the Greater Bay Area, and to TDCX's AI-enabled approach, for scalable, future-ready CX and growth operations.

Built for growth, designed to feel like home

TDCX Foshan opens with approximately 100 positions and is expected to grow rapidly over the next two years, reflecting the pace at which Hong Kong and mainland clients are expected to adopt the campus's pod-based model and scale their teams over time.

The campus itself has been designed as a modern, future-ready workplace, combining thoughtful architecture with functional, purpose-built spaces for collaboration, training, and wellbeing. From onboarding through day-to-day operations, the facility is designed to give every employee a place they can call home, reflecting TDCX's broader commitment to building workplaces where talent can grow alongside the business.

China Country Director, Tony Chen, said: "What sets Foshan apart is the combination of talent, agility, and technology. We can stand up a Cantonese or Mandarin speaking pod in as little as 60 to 90 days, and from day one, that team is supported by TDCX's proprietary AI solutions, the same tools we use to drive quality and consistency for clients around the world. That combination gives Hong Kong and mainland clients the confidence to test and scale quickly, knowing they have both the right people and the right technology behind them. We've also designed this campus from the ground up to feel like a home for our people, not just a workplace, because that sense of belonging is what will carry us as we grow from where we are today to the much larger team we're building toward. Being just a short commute from Guangzhou or 90 minutes from Central Hong Kong means our clients never feel far from their teams, even as they benefit from the depth and cost efficiency of the Greater Bay Area."

Guo Yaoyu, Deputy Director, Management Office, Nanhai District, Foshan, said: "In the outsourcing services industry, Nanhai District, Foshan is home to more than 200 enterprises, including over 30 industry leaders. TDCX joining their ranks will lift the entire sector to a higher level. Nanhai offers rich resources and a very large market to support TDCX's next stage of growth, particularly as the district focuses on AI. As of June this year, Nanhai is home to more than 3,400 technology enterprises, over 40 percent of Foshan's total, creating significant market opportunity for clients in Hong Kong, overseas, and across the mainland. The Nanhai District Government looks forward to working even more closely with TDCX to expand these services both at home and abroad."

With the opening of Foshan, TDCX now operates six centers across China, reinforcing the country's role as a core pillar of the company's regional growth strategy and its ability to deliver comprehensive, AI-enabled customer experience and sales solutions for clients across Hong Kong and mainland China.

TORONTO, Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euro Sun Mining Inc. (TSX: ESM) ("Euro Sun" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non‑binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") dated September 3, 2026 with Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie") and Trafigura PTE LTD ("Trafigura").

Under the terms of the MoU, the parties will work together on a proposed senior project finance facility of up to US$400 million (the "Facility") to support the development of the Company's Rovina Valley Gold‑Copper Project in Romania.

Under the MoU, Macquarie and Trafigura will work together during an 18‑month mandate period to conduct due diligence, develop a financing structure, and seek internal approvals required to deliver a commitment letter for arranging, syndicating and underwriting the Facility. While the MoU represents a binding agreement between the parties for appointment and process, the MoU does not constitute a financing commitment, and any Facility remains subject to successful completion of due diligence, internal approvals and execution of definitive documentation.

The MoU includes customary exclusivity provisions during the mandate period, a right of first refusal for Macquarie to participate in up to 15% of any qualifying alternative financing transaction during the term of the MoU and for 12 months following termination, and standard cost reimbursement, confidentiality and indemnity provisions.

Private Placement

Separately, Euro Sun has agreed to a term sheet with Urion Investments Holdings Limited ("Urion"), a Trafigura Group company, for a US$3 million strategic equity investment (the "Offering"), subject to certain conditions. Under the proposed terms of the Offering, Urion would subscribe for approximately 21.5 million units (each, a "Unit") at C$0.19 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.40 per share for 48 months from the closing of the Offering.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about September 4, 2026. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one day. Completion of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including without limitation, receipt of Toronto Stock Exchange approval, board approval, execution of definitive agreements, and other customary conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the Rovina Valley Project and general corporate purposes.

The MoU and term sheet are non‑binding and intended solely as a basis for further discussion. Any financing or investment transaction remains subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. The MoU and Offering are supplementary to, and do not alter or replace, the existing US$200 million commitment from Trafigura, which remains in full force and effect on its current terms.

"The signing of this MoU with Macquarie and Trafigura, alongside the strategic equity investment by Trafigura, represent a significant milestone for the Rovina Valley Project. Together with our existing arrangements, these agreements establish a substantial portion of the financing framework contemplated to advance the Project toward construction, subject to securing the remaining financing, and support our continued commitment to shareholders," says Grant Sboros, CEO of Euro Sun.

About Euro Sun Mining Inc.

Euro Sun is a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed mining company focused on the exploration and development of its 100%-owned Rovina Valley Project located in west-central Romania, which hosts the second largest copper & gold deposit in Europe.
