GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD, HKEX: 0800), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, today announced the launch of its global insurance partnership program to support the expansion of autonomous driving services worldwide, spanning existing deployments in China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as upcoming launches in broader Europe.

WeRide has established its global insurance partnership program with Allianz Insurance Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("Allianz") and Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance Company of China, Ltd. ("Ping An P&C Insurance") as inaugural partners. The program brings together leading insurance expertise across international and Chinese markets with WeRide's advanced autonomous driving technology and operational experience. A critical foundation for real-world autonomous vehicle deployment, the global insurance program is designed to support WeRide's global expansion across diverse regulatory and operating environments.

Under this strategic initiative, WeRide and its partners will co-develop tailored insurance solutions covering the full lifecycle of L4 vehicle operations, including motor liability, commercial general and product liability, and privacy and cybersecurity risks, in accordance with local requirements. Over time, long-term partnerships, centralized insurance programs and greater fleet scale are expected to improve insurance efficiency and support stronger unit economics.

Real-world operations and insurance risk-management practices demonstrate the strong safety performance of WeRide's Robotaxis. Its technological strengths in risk detection, driving decisions and safety control continue to advance, offering a promising approach to addressing the uncertainties of human driving and improving road safety.

Beyond providing risk protection, insurance plays an important role in enabling autonomous driving to scale safely and commercially.

Allianz Insurance Singapore is the third-largest motor insurer in Singapore by gross written premiums as of Q2 2026 and a major insurance partner for WeRide's autonomous vehicle operations in Singapore. Allianz was the first insurer in Singapore to insure a fully driverless autonomous vehicle through WeRide's Robobus service at Sentosa. Allianz subsequently expanded coverage to WeRide Robotaxis deployed with Grab as part of the Ai.R autonomous shuttle service in Punggol. As of October 2026, the Ai.R autonomous shuttle service had served more than 13,000 unique riders and accumulated over 135,000 kilometers of autonomous mileage.

WeRide and Ping An P&C Insurance, one of the largest property and casualty insurance companies in China, have developed locally compliant insurance solutions supporting Robotaxi operations in China and the Middle East. These include four of WeRide's flagship driverless commercial markets globally, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai, where WeRide has achieved scaled driverless operations. The partnership supports WeRide's Robotaxi deployments in China and the Middle East, including services provided through WeRide Go and third-party mobility platforms such as Uber and TXAI.

Jennifer Li, CFO and Head of International at WeRide, said: "Our partnerships with leading insurers reflect the strength of WeRide's technology. Insurance is a critical part of the infrastructure needed to bring autonomous driving to scale globally, and this program strengthens that foundation as we expand into more markets."

Ong Bi Ying, Chief Executive Officer at Allianz Insurance Singapore, said: "As the first insurer in Singapore to cover a fully driverless autonomous vehicle, Allianz has been at the forefront of understanding and managing the unique risks that come with this transformative technology. Our partnership with WeRide reflects our commitment to enabling innovation responsibly. By co-developing insurance solutions tailored to autonomous vehicle operations, we are helping to build the trust and safety infrastructure that Singapore's smart mobility future demands. We look forward to deepening this collaboration as autonomous driving scales across the region."

Hequn Shi, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Ping An P&C Insurance, stated: "As China's autonomous driving industry goes global, there is an urgent need for matching globalized insurance coverage. This collaboration represents an important practice for Ping An P&C Insurance to support the outbound expansion of China's autonomous driving industry through its 'technology + insurance' services. We aim to leverage insurance's role in risk identification, loss compensation, and risk mitigation, helping China's autonomous driving technology achieve safe and steady commercial operations in global markets."

WeRide currently operates one of the world's largest autonomous driving fleets, with approximately 3,600 autonomous vehicles globally, including more than 1,800 Robotaxis, across 13 countries and over 60 cities.

Looking ahead, WeRide plans to expand the program to more markets and insurance partners, while exploring tailored approaches to insurance protocols, pricing and coverage models for autonomous vehicles.

Fluke Takes Decades of Engineering Excellence to New Heights in Near-Space Challenge

Everett, Washington, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For nearly 80 years, Fluke has helped shape the safety and reliability standards that guide the global test and measurement industry, while setting even more demanding requirements for its own products. This approach reflects a deeply embedded engineering culture built on a simple belief: earning customer trust means going beyond what is required.

Fluke put that commitment to the ultimate test, sending its 87V MAX digital multimeter 20 miles (32,000 metres) above Earth, where it encountered temperatures near -76F (-60C) and atmospheric pressure of just 0.87 kPa, less than 1% of that at sea level. After returning from conditions far beyond its specified operating environment, the instrument was taken to Fluke's calibration facility in Norwich, United Kingdom, for a comprehensive assessment of its performance and condition.

From voltage, current and resistance measurements to instrument repeatability, the 87V MAX passed every performance verification test, followed by a detailed internal inspection for potential damage or degradation.

Parker Burke, President of Fluke Corporation, said: "Every manufacturer claims their tools are tough. What matters is the engineering behind that claim. For generations, Fluke engineers have taken pride in exceeding expectations, often in ways customers never see. The near-space challenge brings that commitment into the spotlight, demonstrating the lengths we go to in testing the tools our customers depend on. We've always believed in giving customers a little more than they paid for, not just in performance, but in the confidence that comes with it. That's how trust is earned. And how we will continue to earn it."

For the professionals who rely on Fluke tools, safety is more than a Standard. It can mean the difference between life and death.  Jeff Gust, Chief Metrologist at Fluke Corporation, said: "One customer described Fluke as their 'insurance policy'. That responsibility drives Fluke to go beyond industry standards, subjecting its products to more demanding tests because the ultimate measure of trust is the confidence customers have to do their jobs safely and return home at the end of each day."

That responsibility is reflected in the standards Fluke sets for itself. Its engineers help develop international safety requirements, including IEC 61010, but don't consider meeting them the finish line. Where an applicable standard requires an 8,000-volt electrical impulse test, Fluke tests CAT-rated equipment to 12,000 volts. And as professionals increasingly work at higher elevations, Fluke has raised its internal altitude requirements from 6,500 feet to 10,000 feet (2,000 to 3,000 metres).

Behind each decision is the same conviction: customers should be able to rely on their instruments wherever their work takes them, and Fluke's engineering must continue to meet those evolving demands.

Gust concluded, "In addition to being safe, Fluke builds products that customers can rely on to perform from the heights of near space to the harshest environments on earth.  Whether they're working on an offshore platform, at extreme heights or in remote locations, equipment failure is not an option. It's a responsibility we take enormous pride in. Before a product carries the Fluke name, we go beyond the required tests to understand its limits and give customers greater confidence in its performance. The near-space challenge makes that commitment visible, but it's something our engineers put into practice every day."

The Ultimate Test, By the Numbers

20 miles (32,000 metres) : More than three and a half times the height of Mount Everest.

−60?C (−76?F): Temperatures comparable to an average winter day at the South Pole.

0.87 kPa: Atmospheric pressure less than 1% of that at sea level, approaching conditions found on the surface of Mars.

49 minutes: A controlled descent back towards Earth, reaching speeds above 110 km/h (70 mph).

100% pass rate: Every post-flight performance verification test passed, including voltage, current, resistance and instrument repeatability checks.

About Fluke

Founded in 1948, Fluke Corporation is the world leader in compact, professional electronic test tools and software for measurement and condition monitoring. Fluke customers include technicians, engineers, electricians, maintenance managers and metrologists who install, troubleshoot and maintain industrial, electrical and electronic equipment and calibration processes.

Q: Why did Fluke send a multimeter 20 miles (32,000 metres) above Earth?

A: The challenge was designed to demonstrate the culture of reliability that exists throughout Fluke. For decades, Fluke has tested products beyond requirements, engineered for demanding environments and focused on earning customer trust through proven performance. The space flight made that commitment visible in a dramatic and memorable way.

Q: What does this challenge say about Fluke as a company?

A: Reliability is part of Fluke's identity. Long before a product reaches a customer, it undergoes extensive testing and validation designed to build confidence in its long-term performance. The challenge reflects a broader company culture that focuses on exceeding expectations rather than simply meeting minimum requirements.

Q: How does this relate to Fluke customers' everyday work?

A: Most customers will never work near the edge of Earth's atmosphere, but many work in environments where dependable tools are essential. Whether on an offshore platform, in a manufacturing plant, on utility infrastructure or at a remote jobsite, professionals rely on tools that perform when failure is not an option. The challenge demonstrates the durability and reliability those customers expect from Fluke products.

With its international business environment, comprehensive infrastructure and connectivity to both Chinese Mainland and global markets, Hong Kong is a natural home for the event. As digital assets and AI increasingly converge, we are expanding next year's programme to make AI a core theme alongside digital assets. Together with the Hong Kong Tourism Board, we look forward to welcoming more participants from around the world over the next three editions, fostering collaboration across both sectors and further strengthening Hong Kong's position as a leading hub for innovation and technology in Asia."

HKTB and CoinDesk held the signing ceremony at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) today. HKTB Executive Director Mr Anthony Lau and Consensus Hong Kong Chairman Mr Michael Lau signed the MoU on behalf of the two parties. The signing was witnessed by HKTB Chairman Dr Peter Lam and Mr Sean Whipkey, Institutional Sales Director of Bullish Group, CoinDesk's parent company. Representatives from the tourism, MICE, fintech, and innovation and technology sectors also attended the ceremony in support of the partnership.

Three-year Strategic Partnership Establishes Hong Kong as Home of Consensus' Asian Flagship Event

As one of the world's most influential and longest-running blockchain and Web3 events, Consensus brings together policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, innovation and technology enterprises, start-ups and industry leaders from around the world to explore the latest developments and business opportunities in fintech, digital assets, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

Following its Hong Kong debut in 2025 and its return in 2026, Consensus has now officially established Hong Kong as the host city of its Asian flagship event, with the signing of a three-year strategic partnership agreement between HKTB and CoinDesk. Under the agreement, the two parties will work together to stage the event in Hong Kong from 2027 to 2029, starting with Consensus Hong Kong 2027 at the HKCEC from 1 to 3 February next year.

Leveraging the Mega Event Effect to Drive MICE Tourism and Cross-sector Business Opportunities

Beyond the conference itself, Consensus Hong Kong has generated more than 350 side events at venues across the city in each edition, including forums, networking receptions, corporate launches, investor meet-ups and start-up activities. These have fostered an atmosphere for innovation, technology and business exchange across the city, further extending the event's economic benefits to tourism, MICE and related industries.

HKTB believes that this strategic partnership will further elevate Hong Kong's international standing in the global fintech, Web3 and digital asset ecosystems. It will also attract more industry leaders, enterprises, investors and professionals to the city to take part in the event and explore exchanges and collaboration, drive the continued development of Hong Kong's MICE tourism in Hong Kong, and strengthen its role as an international platform for innovation and business exchange.

New ready-to-deploy AI solutions help enterprises accelerate the journey from prototype to production with built-in data management, security, and governance across cloud, data centers, and the edge

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, today announced the launch of Cloudera Blueprints, a new portfolio of ready-to-deploy AI solutions designed to help enterprises accelerate the development and deployment of AI applications using their own data.

Building on its existing Accelerators for ML Projects (AMPs), the expanded portfolio introduces NVIDIA AI Blueprints, built with NVIDIA Agent Toolkit on Cloudera, combining NVIDIA's reference AI workflows with Cloudera's enterprise data management, security, and governance capabilities to help organizations move AI use cases from proof of concept to production.

As enterprises scale AI, accessing, preparing, and governing the data needed for production applications remains a challenge. This is especially true in regulated industries such as the financial or public sector, where sensitive data spans multiple environments and cannot easily or securely be moved. While AI reference workflows can accelerate initial development, integrating these applications with enterprise data and meeting production requirements involves significant work.

Cloudera Blueprints address these challenges with preconfigured AI solutions that run directly on Cloudera AI, connecting proven AI workflows with enterprise data and infrastructure. Organizations can build and deploy applications on the same platform across public clouds, on-premises data centers, and the edge, bringing AI directly to their data while maintaining consistent security, governance, and control.

"Enterprises are eager to move beyond AI experimentation, but turning promising prototypes into production-ready applications remains a challenge, particularly when data is spread across complex environments," said Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer, Cloudera. "With Cloudera Blueprints, we're closing that gap by combining proven AI workflows from NVIDIA with the data management, security, and governance capabilities enterprises need to deploy AI at scale. By bringing AI directly to their data, wherever it resides, we're helping organizations accelerate time to value and turn AI innovation into real business impact."

Accelerating AI Innovation Across Industries

Cloudera Blueprints will soon leverage NVIDIA AI Blueprints on Cloudera, targeting high-value AI applications across financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, and other industries:

Build Your Own Transaction Foundation Model: Help financial institutions develop transaction-based foundation models to improve fraud detection, risk assessment, and personalized customer experiences.

Ambient Healthcare Agents: Automate clinical documentation by transforming patient-provider conversations into structured clinical notes, while supporting patient intake, scheduling, and inquiries.

Telecom Network Configuration Planning Agents: Help telecommunications providers optimize network performance with AI agents that recommend, apply, and validate radio access network configurations using historical and real-time data.

Synthetic Video Detection: Support organizations in identifying AI-generated video content to strengthen digital trust, identity verification, and fraud prevention.

Additional NVIDIA AI Blueprints will be incorporated into the Cloudera Blueprints portfolio based on evolving industry requirements and customer demand.

Bringing NVIDIA-Accelerated AI to Enterprise Data Anywhere

Cloudera Blueprints extend NVIDIA's AI reference workflows with the enterprise capabilities required to deploy and scale AI applications in real-world environments. By combining Cloudera's hybrid data and AI platform with NVIDIA-accelerated computing, organizations benefit from:

A faster path from prototype to production: Ready-to-deploy solutions simplify production deployment by integrating AI workflows with data ingestion, data engineering, security, and governance.

AI wherever enterprise data resides: Deploy AI applications across public cloud, on-premises data centers, and the edge without requiring sensitive or regulated data to be relocated, while maintaining consistent governance, lineage, and security.

End-to-end NVIDIA acceleration: Leverage NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA Nemotron models through Cloudera AI Inference, alongside NVIDIA cuDF for Apache Spark in Cloudera Data Engineering to accelerate workloads from data preparation through inference.

Flexibility through open standards: Maintain choice across AI models, infrastructure, and deployment environments through an open-source foundation while reducing vendor lock-in.

"NVIDIA and Cloudera share a commitment to helping enterprises accelerate AI adoption and realize the full value of their investments," said Pat Lee, Vice President, Strategic Enterprise Partnerships, NVIDIA. "By combining NVIDIA's accelerated computing and AI software stack with Cloudera's hybrid data platform, we're making it easier for organizations to deploy AI wherever their data resides, whether in the cloud, on premises, or at the edge."

The introduction of Cloudera Blueprints further expands Cloudera and NVIDIA's ongoing collaboration to help enterprises operationalize AI at scale. By combining NVIDIA's AI innovation with Cloudera's ability to securely manage and access data across hybrid environments, the companies are helping organizations accelerate time to value and turn AI investments into measurable business outcomes.

Cloudera Blueprints will be showcased today at EVOLVE26 New York, Cloudera's annual data and AI conference.

Expanding the AI ecosystem with Mistral AI, VAST Data, Neo4j and Cartesia brings greater choice across enterprise knowledge, models, voice, and infrastructure

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, today announced the expansion of its Enterprise AI Ecosystem at EVOLVE26 New York.

Building on our Enterprise AI Ecosystem from 2024 and 2025, the expansion strengthens Cloudera Anywhere Cloud as the foundation for enterprise AI factories: environments that continuously turn governed data into insight and autonomous action.

As enterprises move from asking AI questions to entrusting agents with business outcomes, each layer of the architecture matters. Agents need connected knowledge to understand business context, models suited to each task, responsive interfaces, and infrastructure that keeps data flowing.

Anywhere Cloud will bring these capabilities together through a consistent operating model across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments-giving customers greater freedom to meet performance, cost, and sovereignty requirements.

"The next competitive advantage will come from how effectively enterprises turn their own knowledge into action," said Abhas Ricky, Chief Business Officer and GM, Applied AI at Cloudera. "Our ambition is to make every enterprise an AI factory, with the freedom to choose its models, retain control of its data, and improve the economics of every workload. Anywhere Cloud and our expanding ecosystem will connect the capabilities to make that possible-from the first insight to the millionth agentic action."

Connected knowledge makes agentic action more reliable. Neo4j adds knowledge graphs and semantic context, helping agents query relationships across enterprise data and understand how customers, products, transactions, and business processes connect. Combined with Cloudera's governed data foundation, this supports the progression from finding information to reasoning over it and taking informed action.

"Our partnership with Cloudera helps organizations create a shared knowledge layer across enterprise data in public and private cloud environments, delivering the critical connection between relational data and deep semantic context. The Cloudera Open Data Lakehouse, in combination with Neo4j's Graph Intelligence Platform, allows organizations to query massive datasets, uncover hidden relationships, and power next-generation enterprise AI safely across any cloud or on-premises environment," said Sudhir Hasbe, President & Chief Product Officer at Neo4j.

Sovereign voice brings those capabilities into everyday interactions. Cartesia expands model choice with speech generation and transcription for voice agents operating within customer-controlled environments. Cartesia reports sub-90-millisecond speech-generation latency; its Sonic-3.6 model ranked first on both Artificial Analysis speech arena leaderboards at launch. These capabilities support natural, responsive interactions while helping enterprises retain control of sensitive conversations.

"Voice is becoming the primary interface for AI, and the enterprises that stand to gain the most are often those bound by the strictest data sovereignty and governance requirements," said Karan Goel, CEO and Co-Founder of Cartesia. "Together with Cloudera, we're enabling the world's most regulated organizations to deploy real-time voice agents at scale while retaining complete control over their data."

Specialised intelligence broadens what the factory can produce. Cloudera's previously announced strategic partnership with Mistral remains central to its sovereign inference strategy. Mistral's expanding portfolio includes the announced 1.05-trillion-parameter Large 4 model, Timestral forecasting models, and Robostral for embodied navigation. Its engineering collaboration with NVIDIA and scientific AI work with CERN further demonstrate the breadth of specialised intelligence emerging beyond conversational AI. Model choice allows enterprises to match capability, latency, and compute requirements to each workload.

"As enterprises transition to production-ready agentic workflows, maintaining control over sensitive data and infrastructure is non-negotiable," said Marjorie Janiewicz, CRO of Mistral. "Integrating Mistral's frontier models and products with Cloudera's hybrid data platform will allow organizations to build, train, and deploy custom intelligence on their own proprietary data, with full governance across any environment."

High-performance data infrastructure keeps the factory productive. The previously announced VAST Data partnership addresses GPU starvation by supplying accelerators with high-throughput, low-latency data. VAST's storage architecture supports Cloudera's containerized data services, helping improve data delivery, GPU utilization, and the performance of AI and analytics workloads across Anywhere Cloud.

"Most enterprises already have the data they need for AI. The challenge is unlocking the value in data to create a continuous pipeline of AI inference, fine-tuning, and data analysis to build the next generation of intelligent applications," said Jeff Denworth, Co-Founder at VAST Data. "Together, Cloudera and VAST are helping customers build AI factories that connect data, intelligence, and infrastructure into a single operational platform for AI across hybrid environments."

Together, these partnerships extend choice across the AI stack. Through an expanding portfolio of joint solutions and validated reference architectures, Cloudera aims to reduce integration effort, improve total cost of ownership, and make hybrid and sovereign AI easier to put into production.

EBC Group Foundation adalah yayasan yang terdaftar di Singapura dan sepenuhnya didanai oleh EBC Financial Group. Yayasan ini menetapkan satu syarat bagi setiap proyek yang didukungnya dan menargetkan untuk membantu sedikitnya 6.000 orang hingga akhir 2027

HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EBC Financial Group (EBC) telah mendirikan EBC Group Foundation untuk membangun struktur yang berkelanjutan bagi kegiatan amalnya. Pengumuman mengenai Yayasan ini disampaikan di sela-sela acara iFX EXPO Asia 2026.

Yayasan yang terdaftar di Singapura ini sepenuhnya didanai oleh Group dan mengumpulkan berbagai kegiatan yang telah mencakup lebih dari 100 proyek di puluhan negara selama lima tahun terakhir. Setiap proyek yang didukungnya harus memenuhi satu syarat: dana dan bantuan berupa barang harus benar-benar sampai kepada orang-orang yang membutuhkannya.

"Setiap pelaku usaha mengalirkan kekayaan dari satu tempat ke tempat lain. Karakter suatu perusahaan tercermin dari pilihan yang diambilnya terkait keuntungan yang diperolehnya. Tim kami telah menerapkan prinsip tersebut melalui aksi nyata, satu per satu, di bangsal rumah sakit, ruang kelas, dan komunitas. Foundation ini memastikan upaya tersebut terus berlanjut lintas negara dari tahun ke tahun," ujar Andria Phiniefs, Direktur Pemasaran EBC Financial Group.

Pertanyaan di Balik Pembentukan Yayasan

Yayasan ini berawal dari sebuah pertanyaan yang telah lama direnungkan oleh jajaran pimpinan EBC dan disampaikan secara terbuka saat peluncurannya: apa yang perlu dilakukan perusahaan di pasar keuangan selain mengejar kesuksesannya sendiri? Menurut Group, mencari keuntungan secara jujur hanyalah sebagian dari tanggung jawab perusahaan. Bagian lainnya terletak pada bagaimana keuntungan tersebut digunakan.

Selama ini, pelaksanaan prinsip tersebut bergantung pada inisiatif masing-masing tim. Tim di seluruh Grup dianjurkan untuk mengunjungi rumah sakit setiap bulan, dengan anak-anak sebagai prioritas. Banyak tim juga telah bekerja sama dengan sekolah, badan amal, dan organisasi bantuan kemanusiaan di komunitas tempat mereka beroperasi.

Rekam Jejak Panjang: Dari Tainan hingga Lagos

Setelah Topan Danas melanda Taiwan bagian selatan pada bulan Juli 2025, EBC menyalurkan bantuan melalui dana penanggulangan bencana resmi Tainan untuk membantu keluarga terdampak memulihkan layanan dasar dan membangun kembali kehidupan mereka. Pada bulan Desember 2025, EBC mengunjungi dan memberikan bantuan kepada anak-anak di Wat Sakaew, Thailand. Selanjutnya, pada bulan September 2026, tim EBC di Mongolia menyerahkan perlengkapan sekolah kepada anak-anak dari kelompok rentan. Di Nigeria, EBC menyumbangkan buku tulis dan tas sekolah kepada para siswa di Isolo Junior Secondary School di Lagos dan You-Nik Group of Schools di Abuja. Di kedua sekolah tersebut, keterbatasan perlengkapan belajar dasar masih menjadi kendala yang dihadapi siswa setiap hari.

Selain upaya tersebut, EBC juga menjalankan dua komitmen jangka panjang. Sejak bulan Maret 2024, EBC telah bermitra dengan World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) untuk mendukung pendidikan dan pemberdayaan anak perempuan serta perempuan muda. EBC juga telah mendapat pengakuan sebagai Friend of Asia Pacific. Sejak bulan April 2024, EBC juga telah mendukung United to Beat Malaria (UTBM), sebuah kampanye dari United Nations Foundation untuk memerangi malaria. Menurut UTBM, penyakit ini masih merenggut nyawa satu anak hampir setiap menit. Pada tahun 2026, EBC Financial Group menandatangani perpanjangan kemitraan selama tiga tahun sekaligus menjadi Sponsor Emas untuk ajang Move Against Malaria 5K (MAM5K) 2026 Virtual Run.

Satu Syarat untuk Setiap Proyek

Melalui Yayasan ini, inisiatif yang sebelumnya dijalankan oleh masing-masing tim kini menjadi standar bersama di seluruh Grup, dengan satu pertanyaan utama: apakah bantuan yang diberikan benar-benar tepat sasaran? Mitra penyalur bantuan harus berupa organisasi nonpemerintah (NGO) atau lembaga amal yang terdaftar secara resmi di wilayah setempat dan telah lolos pemeriksaan uji tuntas EBC. Sementara itu, penerima manfaat dipilih melalui proses yang terdokumentasi dengan mengutamakan dampak jangka panjang.

Yayasan juga terbuka untuk menerima usulan proyek dari pihak lain. Lembaga amal dan kelompok masyarakat dapat mengajukan proyek untuk mendapatkan dukungan. Setiap proposal akan dipertimbangkan satu per satu berdasarkan kriteria yang sama, yakni apakah bantuan yang diberikan benar-benar tepat sasaran.

Sekitar 80% sumber daya Yayasan diperkirakan akan dialokasikan untuk mendukung pengasuhan anak yatim piatu. Dukungan ini mencakup pendidikan, kebutuhan hidup pokok, konseling, bimbingan karier, dan literasi keuangan bagi anak-anak yang telah kehilangan kedua orang tua atau yang orang tuanya tidak mampu memberikan pengasuhan. Sementara itu, sekitar 20% sumber daya lainnya akan dialokasikan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan yang diidentifikasi langsung oleh tim regional di lapangan. Kebutuhan tersebut mencakup kegiatan edukasi di sekolah dan perguruan tinggi, pendidikan keuangan bagi generasi muda, serta proyek-proyek kemasyarakatan.

Dua Tahun Pertama

Hingga akhir 2027, Yayasan menargetkan untuk menjangkau sedikitnya lima wilayah, membantu setidaknya 300 anak melalui program pengasuhan bagi anak-anak yatim piatu dan yatim sosial, serta memberikan bantuan kepada sedikitnya 6.000 orang melalui seluruh kegiatannya. Yayasan juga menargetkan penyelesaian satu proyek pengasuhan anak di setiap wilayah. Angka-angka tersebut merupakan target, bukan jaminan akan tercapai. EBC akan mengevaluasi kemajuan pencapaiannya setiap tiga bulan.

Tim regional akan meluncurkan proyek di empat wilayah paling lambat akhir 2026. Laporan perkembangan yang lebih menyeluruh dijadwalkan akan dirilis pada kuartal pertama 2027. Mulai 2028, EBC berpotensi membuka kesempatan bagi klien dan mitra untuk ikut berpartisipasi, dengan mempertimbangkan hasil evaluasi. Informasi lebih lanjut akan disampaikan apabila tahap tersebut dilanjutkan.

"Ada pepatah kuno Tiongkok yang sering kami jadikan pedoman: air yang mengalir tidak berlomba untuk menjadi yang pertama, melainkan terus mengalir tanpa henti. Yayasan ini dibentuk dengan semangat yang sama," ujar Phiniefs.

*BXCL501, a dexmedetomidine sublingual film, is under FDA review for first-ever at-home use for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in adults

*Acquisition adds differentiated late-stage investigational asset with potential to address a significant unmet need for patients

*Transaction supports Teva's Pivot to Growth strategy and the company's disciplined approach to business development

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals International GmbH, a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced that it has completed the acquisition of assets from BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc., including worldwide rights to BXCL501. BXCL501 is an investigational dexmedetomidine sublingual film under FDA review for at-home use in the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in adults.

If approved, BXCL501 would be the first FDA-approved treatment patients could use at home for this condition.

The acquisition expands Teva's innovative neuroscience pipeline with a late-stage asset with the potential to address a significant unmet patient need.

"Business development plays an important role in accelerating our Pivot to Growth strategy by bringing targeted external innovation into Teva," said Evan Lippman, Executive Vice President, Business Development at Teva. "BXCL501 is a strong strategic fit with our neuroscience portfolio and reflects our disciplined focus on differentiated, late-stage opportunities that address unmet patient needs and create long-term value for Teva's shareholders."

Acute agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder affects between 25% and 40%1 of patients across these conditions. Acute agitation can escalate quickly, creating significant challenges for patients, families and caregivers and, in some cases, resulting in an emergency department visit or hospitalization. Acute treatment options remain limited, particularly outside healthcare settings.

"Agitation can escalate quickly, which is why the ability to intervene early matters," said Eric Hughes, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. "If approved, BXCL501 could give adults living with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder the ability to treat agitation at home, closer to the moment symptoms emerge and before they could become more difficult to manage."

About the Transaction

Teva acquired the neuroscience assets of BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. and its affiliates through a court-supervised sale process under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The assets include worldwide rights to BXCL501 and IGALMI (dexmedetomidine), an FDA-approved dexmedetomidine sublingual film for the treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in a hospital setting. The application for the approval of BXCL501 has been submitted as a supplemental New Drug Application (NDA) to the IGALMI NDA. The transaction does not involve the acquisition of BioXcel Therapeutics.

The transaction closed following Teva's selection as the successful bidder, approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and satisfaction of other closing conditions.

Teva acquired the assets for $57.5 million upfront and up to $67.5 million in contingent payments. These include a range of time-based payments linked to regulatory approval, including potential delays in approval, as well as payments tied to the achievement of specified sales milestones.

*Built using the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, the Immersive Twin pilot connects Schneider Electric, AVEVA, and ETAP technology in one digital platform

*Digital twin connects AI workload requirements with power, cooling, electrical, and operational models to accelerate AI Factory deployment and improve token efficiency

*Pilot at Start Campus' Sines data center campus is expected to optimize operations for Nscale

BERLIN, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global energy technology leader Schneider Electric, industrial software leader AVEVA, full-stack AI cloud platform Nscale, and data center developer and operator Start Campus, today announced the successful pilot of an end-to-end digital twin developed using the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, part of NVIDIA DSX Sim.

The Immersive Twin pilot marks a significant step toward bringing Schneider Electric's digital twin technology, powered by AVEVA software, into real-world AI infrastructure, allowing Nscale to accelerate token production and optimize token efficiency.

The deployment is focused on Nscale's operations within the SIN01 data center on the 1.2 GW SINES Data Campus in Portugal, developed by Start Campus. As one of Europe's largest and most sustainable AI factories, the SINES Data Campus is designed to support successive generations of AI infrastructure.

It will soon become home to more than 66,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs, representing one of the largest AI deployments in the region. By combining engineering and operational data with advanced power and cooling simulations and workload requirements, the new Schneider Electric and AVEVA Immersive Twin provides a unified view of data center performance to help identify opportunities to optimize infrastructure before changes are implemented on-site.

Using the digital twin, Nscale expects to achieve faster time to token, greater token efficiency, enhanced operations, increased flexibility, and reduced risk when updating or modifying its technology stack.

"Working with Start Campus, Schneider Electric and NVIDIA, we're using digital twins to model how AI data centers operate in the real world - from power and cooling to token delivery," said David Power, Chief Technology Officer at Nscale. "This gives us a clearer view of where full-stack optimizations can be realized before changes are made on the ground. It's about using intelligence and simulation to build and operate AI infrastructure more efficiently, and sustainably at scale."

Complete End-to-End Experience and Collaboration

The successful pilot reflects the strength of a collaborative, end-to-end approach, bringing together complementary expertise from across the AI ecosystem, including energy management, engineering, simulation and AI infrastructure operations to create a more complete view of data center performance.

The Immersive Twin pilot supports the full lifecycle of AI factories-from design through operations-by building an OpenUSD-based digital twin that connects Schneider Electric, ETAP, AVEVA, and third-party technologies. It enables rapid "what-if" scenario testing across power, cooling, and process behavior to validate design decisions, assess upgrade impacts, reduce procurement risk, and continuously optimize performance by linking IT and OT data. In parallel, it advances interoperability through simulation-ready asset files, accelerating seamless integration into digital twins.

Start Campus provides the real-world infrastructure, engineering expertise and operational environment to demonstrate how digital twin technology can transform the design, development and operation of AI data centers. Bringing this data, technology and expertise together enables Nscale to use the digital twin to model and test "what-if scenarios" for new configurations or technologies before implementation, speeding up deployment times while significantly reducing risk.

"Building a credible, end-to-end digital twin requires collaboration across the AI ecosystem," said Pankaj Sharma, Executive Vice President, Software & Service with Schneider Electric. "By advancing energy tech, and connecting Nscale's workload and IT infrastructure requirements with Start Campus's physical facility and infrastructure data, while pairing it with Schneider's digital twin technology, we're bringing together critical perspectives needed to model AI factories more holistically and identify opportunities to optimize performance, efficiency and token production."

"AI infrastructure needs to evolve as quickly as the technology it supports," added Robert Dunn, Chief Executive Officer at Start Campus. "Our collaboration with Schneider Electric, Nscale and NVIDIA has taught us that operators and customers design, develop and operate data centers best when they work from the same model. By using digital twin technology to simulate how a jump in rack density moves through the power train and the liquid cooling loop before it becomes a physical reality, we can test new hardware generations, agree the configuration with our customer and build it once. That accelerates deployment, improves efficiency and maximizes the value of every megawatt. This is an important step towards delivering resilient AI infrastructure at scale."

Building on Existing Collaboration

This latest pilot expands Schneider Electric, AVEVA and ETAP's work with NVIDIA. Last year, the three companies joined the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD) to accelerate digital twin and AI factory development through the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint.

Additionally, the companies continue to collaborate on reference architectures, integrated infrastructure and software solutions that will power and cool the next generation of AI factories, and use NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to simulate and improve energy efficiency in real-world environments.

Latest update allows single, consolidated visualization of multiple mission-critical data sources

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Octave Intelligence plc (Nasdaq: OCTV) released the latest version of Octave Alto, Octave's geospatial solution that powers 2D / 3D / 4D visualization, analytics, data fusion, digital twins and real-time operations.

This latest version allows global organizations to consolidate mission-critical data and disparate information into a single visualization with real-time insights. Alto's enhanced visualization capabilities are especially critical for customers in the defense, aviation, public sector, transportation and infrastructure industries.

The latest release, Alto 2026.1, lets developers bring live drone and camera video directly onto 2D maps and 3D terrain, so operators not only see what a camera sees but can also access all the critical geospatial information attached to that camera's view.

Today, many visualization systems require operators to manually piece together data, imagery and context from multiple systems. This usually means operators watching drone video, camera feeds and mission data on separate screens must piece them together by hand. However, Alto allows developers to bring that information all together on one map, turning complex operational data into a clear picture teams can act on.

The newest Alto version includes support for Gaussian splats to turn photos and scans into lifelike 3D models of real places for mission planning, training and infrastructure monitoring.

"Video without context is not only useless, it can be dangerous," said Dirk Wagemans, VP of geospatial for Octave. "Octave Alto gives developers one foundation to build visualization for any mission, and now brings live video, mission data and realistic 3D views together on one map. This shows what is happening with the important geographical context needed to make better decisions, faster." 

Alto brings together data into a single thread. That consolidation matters most where operators must make decisions from many sources at once. For example, defense and intelligence agencies worldwide rely on Alto to build mission-specific visualization and operation systems for command and control, mission planning, intelligence analysis and real-time situational awareness. This release also supports NATO's newest standards for military map symbols and battle plans, so allied forces can share the same picture without custom software.

The Alto release includes updates for Alto Browser (formerly LuciadRIA), Alto Lightspeed (formerly LuciadLightspeed), Alto Server (formerly LuciadFusion) and Alto Universal (formerly LuciadCPillar).

About Octave:

Octave provides mission-critical software that empowers organizations to make informed decisions across every stage of the asset lifecycle - Design, Build, Operate and Protect - where performance, safety and reliability are non-negotiable and failure is not an option.

Turning complex operational data into actionable intelligence, Octave connects expertise, real-world conditions and enterprise-scale insight to improve performance, resilience and incident response where it matters most.

*Partnership will create a trusted digital record for critical minerals, helping producers verify origin, custody and control while giving banks, insurers, buyers and governments greater confidence in the assets they finance and trade

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates and AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADI Foundation, an institutional gateway enabling public and private sector organizations to adopt blockchain technology and SAGINT, a digital asset developer transforming tangible assets into tradable tokens, today announced a global partnership to bring SAGINT's Digital Warehouse Receipt technology to ADI Chain, creating a verifiable digital record for critical minerals as they move from producer to warehouse, buyer and across borders.

Under the agreement, ADI Foundation will serve as SAGINT's exclusive Channel Participant, helping introduce producers, warehouses, traders and other market participants to the SAGINT network across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and other markets. The partnership is designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in commodities trading: proving where a material came from, who has held it and who has control over it as it moves through the supply chain.

Ambassador (Ret.) Troy Fitrell, Chief Executive Officer of SAGINT International, said:

"As Ambassador to Guinea, and then leading the State Department's Africa bureau, I saw nations rich in minerals struggle to prove, and to profit from, what they produce. Trust in trade should not depend on a stamp on a piece of paper. With ADI, the proof travels with the material, lot by lot, across every border. Producers can reach financing, lenders and insurers can see what they are backing, and governments can see their own resources clearly."

Ajay Bhatia, Principal Council Member, ADI Foundation, said:

"Trade has never lacked goods. It has lacked proof that travels with them. When that proof moves with the material, finance can follow. Bringing the Digital Warehouse Receipt to ADI Chain gives our network a record that authorized lenders, insurers or customs officers can verify for themselves. As SAGINT's exclusive Channel Participant worldwide, we look forward to bringing the first organizations onto the network."

SAGINT's Digital Warehouse Receipt replaces fragmented paper records with a secure digital record for each lot of material. The system captures information including origin, quantity, custody and assay data, allowing authorized participants to verify the information relevant to them while protecting commercially sensitive data.

By recording these records and associated events on ADI Chain, participants across different markets can rely on a shared, verifiable record rather than separate documents held by individual counterparties. The result is intended to make critical minerals easier to finance, insure and trade by increasing confidence in the assets underlying those transactions.

The opportunity is significant. The International Energy Agency valued the global market for key energy-transition minerals at approximately $325 billion in 2023. At the same time, access to trade finance remains constrained: the Asian Development Bank estimates the global trade finance gap at $2.5 trillion, while the African Development Bank estimates unmet trade finance demand in Africa at between $74 billion and $92 billion.

The partnership also supports ADI Foundation's work with the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat to develop digital trade infrastructure across Africa, including infrastructure designed to improve verification of trade documentation and expand businesses' ability to access financing against inventory and other certified assets.

SAGINT has issued Digital Warehouse Receipts for production material since January 2026, beginning with refined rare earth oxide produced by ReElement Technologies.

The agreement was signed on October 15, 2026.
