WUHAN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 September 2026 - On September 13, the inauguration ceremony of the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance was held. Representatives of 13 founding member companies - including FiberHome, China Construction Third Engineering Bureau, HGTECH, YHKT Entertainment, Huakang Clean and Shenglong Electric - and of more than 100 other Optics Valley enterprises attended the event.

The ceremony was held under the theme "Chasing the Light, Connecting the World." In recent years, Optics Valley's innovations have been reaching the world at an accelerating pace. The overseas social media matrix of "Optics Valley of China" has continued to attract attention, and "made in Optics Valley" products such as the Optics Valley Photon sky rail and driverless minibuses have been repeatedly applauded by spokespersons of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becoming a "calling card for China" in the eyes of overseas netizens.

To help companies move from "product export" to "brand export," Optics Valley has worked with the News & Information Service Center of Xinhua News Agency and other partners to establish the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance, opening international communication resources to Optics Valley companies and providing them with one-stop services such as overseas public opinion response and multilingual content production, so as to serve as a "navigator" for companies going global. As the national news agency of China, Xinhua News Agency has 184 overseas branches and has established cooperative links with more than 2,000 media outlets around the world.

Speaking as a representative of the founding members, Li Lei, vice president of FiberHome, said that FiberHome's business now covers more than 100 countries and regions, with wholly owned subsidiaries in 36 countries and three overseas optical cable plants in Ecuador, Thailand and Hungary; at its Philippine subsidiary, locally hired employees account for more than 95 percent of the workforce.

"We will stay committed to high-quality global expansion and to deepening localized operations, and, with the platform of the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance, we will not only export China's advanced communication technologies and solutions, but also serve as a bridge for industrial cooperation and people-to-people connectivity between China and the rest of the world," he said.

Huakang Clean, also a founding member, is a leading enterprise in China's cleanroom industry. It has made going global a core strategy for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, completed its market layout in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa, and exported mature cleanroom technology solutions. It looks forward to deepening cross-border collaboration and strengthening brand building through the alliance platform.

At the ceremony, a think tank report was released - "Going Global, Competing Worldwide: How 'Optics Valley of China' Polishes Its International Calling Card in Service of Building a Strong Nation in Science and Technology - Practices and Insights," written by Reference News Press. Reference Think Tank. According to the report, leading enterprises represented by the "Seven Stars of Optics Valley" have seen average annual growth in overseas revenue of more than 30 percent.

The report sums up Optics Valley's global communication path as "one strategic direction and ten keywords": Optics Valley takes serving the building of a strong nation in science and technology as its strategic direction, and adheres to central-local coordination, AI empowerment, going global as a team, and tailored measures for different markets.

The report states that Optics Valley has witnessed and written the confidence and determination of a brand of a strong nation in science and technology going global, and that when the light of "Optics Valley of China" illuminates the global industrial landscape, it conveys the narrative of the times in which China takes part in global competition through technological self-reliance and self-strengthening and shares its opportunities with the world.

The report suggests that, for Optics Valley to keep polishing its international calling card in service of building a strong nation in science and technology, three things need to be fully considered: first, elevating the Optics Valley story from "corporate behavior" to a "national narrative"; second, making full use of AI, a global knowledge-service infrastructure, to carry out global communication; and third, moving from "communication empowering industry" to "communication as an industrial capability."

A training session on overseas communication capacity building was held alongside the inauguration ceremony, with David Wei, founder of Vision Knight Capital, and Cao Yang, deputy director of the International Communication Department of the News & Information Service Center of Xinhua News Agency, invited to give lectures.

Series B led by Centaurus Capital and Doerr Capital, with ConocoPhillips, Shell Ventures, Khosla Ventures and Gates Frontier participating, enabling Mazama to push beyond 750?F and demonstrate a commercially scalable pathway to deploy superhot rock geothermal

DALLAS, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mazama Energy today announced $135 million in new capital to accelerate superhot rock geothermal commercial development, including an oversubscribed Series B led by Centaurus Capital, founded by John Arnold, and Doerr Capital. ConocoPhillips and Shell Ventures joined the round, with repeat investment from Khosla Ventures and Gates Frontier. Additional investors include SiteGround Capital, H. Barton Asset Management, and the Jeffrey and Marieke Rothschild Foundation.

Mazama holds the record for the hottest engineered geothermal system (EGS) ever built. In 2025 at Newberry, Oregon, Mazama created an engineered geothermal system at 629?F (331?C), proving reservoir creation, connectivity and heat recovery.

Mazama is now pushing toward even hotter targets. Its second well, Project Athena, reached that same 10,350-foot depth in 15 days this month, about 80% faster than the 2025 well, and is drilling a mile further down toward 750?F (400?C).

Reaching 750?F (400?C) delivers up to 10 times the power of a conventional 390?F (200?C) well, owing to the much higher energy density of supercritical water and improved reservoir productivity. This allows Mazama to deliver projects using 75% less water and drilling 80% fewer wells than conventional geothermal developments. Mazama's technology has the potential to significantly improve the viability and permitting prospects of geothermal projects across a wide range of regions, reducing both surface infrastructure requirements and overall project footprint.

Unlocking superhot rock geothermal requires solving three interconnected challenges: reaching extreme temperatures without compromising the equipment, creating a productive reservoir where none exists naturally, and efficiently extracting heat to generate and sustain power. Mazama has spent the last several years developing these capabilities into a single integrated system, paving the way toward delivering carbon-free, baseload power competitive with fossil fuels.

"The breakthrough in superhot geothermal is turning extreme heat into a repeatable, economic power system," said Sriram Vasantharajan, CEO of Mazama Energy. "At Newberry, we have demonstrated the critical pieces together: extreme-temperature drilling, reservoir creation and heat harvesting, at temperatures no other engineered geothermal system has achieved. We are now driving that integrated system toward greater speed, efficiency and scale. That is the foundation for commercial superhot power."  

What This Capital Funds Next

Utilities and grid planners are trying to add power they can count on around the clock faster than new transmission and new generation can be permitted and built. Mazama's bet is to go down, not out: pull more energy from underground instead of adding more infrastructure above ground.

This financing funds Project Ceres, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, which will advance horizontal well development in superhot rock toward a 15 MWe of capacity per well and demonstrate power generation in 2027.

Athena and Ceres are the near-term proof points for a much larger ambition: Mazama is targeting independent certification of more than 10 GWe of resource potential at Newberry alone, while evaluating additional sites in the United States and internationally as it builds toward multi- gigawatt-scale developments. Mazama's goal is to make superhot rock geothermal a scalable source of firm power to address rising electricity demand, affordability and energy security around the world.

About Mazama Energy

Mazama Energy is a geothermal developer that has differentiated technology to deliver and scale superhot rock geothermal. In 2025 Mazama achieved the highest temperature in an engineered geothermal system, 629 ?F (331?C), at Newberry, Oregon, unlocking the potential to generate significantly more energy from fewer wells, use less land, water and capital, and thereby, lower the cost of power.

By integrating advanced drilling technologies, reservoir development, diagnostics, and heat-harvesting technologies, Mazama is building a robust platform to make superhot rock geothermal a scalable source of carbon free, reliable and affordable power worldwide. For more information, visit mazamaenergy.com   

Quotes from Strategic Investors:

"The world needs vastly more electricity, and we need to produce it cleanly and affordably. Superhot geothermal has the potential to be a major new source of 24/7 clean power, delivering dramatically more energy with less land, water, and infrastructure. Mazama is making that promise real and moving this technology decisively toward commercial scale." said John Doerr, chairman of Doerr Capital and Kleiner Perkins

"Superhot geothermal offers the promise of firm, carbon-free power with a relatively small footprint, but realizing that promise requires significant technical innovation," said John Arnold, President of Centaurus Capital. "Mazama has made impressive progress, and I am excited to support its next phase of development."

"Power is the constraint on everything we're trying to build this decade," said Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures. "We backed Mazama early because geothermal can be the planet's largest source of clean, 24/7 power, and we've watched them build the world's hottest engineered geothermal system. Scaling toward 400?C means ten times the heat from a fifth of the wells and a fraction of the water, the kind of breakthrough that makes geothermal a pillar of the energy transition."

From ConocoPhillips: "We are pleased to support Mazama as it advances a differentiated pathway to commercial scale ultra-high-temperature geothermal based on demonstrated field performance."

A multi-layered AI defense platform that correlates threats across every network domain while protecting subscribers in real time.

RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mavenir, the software company building cloud-native, AI-by-design mobile networks, today announced NetAIShield, its next-generation AI-native fraud protection framework designed to secure telecom networks and subscribers against an increasingly sophisticated fraud landscape.

Modern telecom fraud has evolved beyond isolated attacks. Cybercriminals now orchestrate coordinated campaigns across voice, messaging, data, and OTT channels, impersonating telecom operators, government agencies, and financial institutions while leveraging deepfake audio, synthetic identities, SIM swap, SIM box, and AI-powered social engineering techniques. Traditional fraud solutions, built to detect threats within individual network domains, provide only a fragmented view, allowing increasingly complex attacks to evade detection.

NetAIShield responds to this challenge with a multi-layered AI defense architecture built to correlate network telemetry, subscriber behavior, signaling events, messaging intelligence, and threat indicators into a unified, real-time view of fraud. Designed to work alongside Mavenir's existing security portfolio or as an overlay for third-party fraud detection solutions, NetAIShield helps enable operators to detect, prioritize, and neutralize sophisticated attacks including the ones utilizing SIM farms and Application Farms with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure.

A key innovation of NetAIShield is AI-Protected Communications, which extends fraud protection beyond the network to individual subscribers. While network-layer security protects the population by identifying and blocking fraudulent traffic before calls are connected, the most damaging scams increasingly occur during live conversations. AI-Protected Communications helps fill this gap with a personal AI assistant that can intelligently screen unknown callers, monitor conversations for indicators of social engineering, deepfake voice impersonation, financial fraud, and other suspicious behavior, and intervene in real time when risks are detected.

Operating transparently on existing devices without requiring new hardware, the capability works on a consent basis and supports regulatory compliance by informing callers that they are interacting with an AI screening assistant. Trusted contacts can bypass screening, while unknown callers are authenticated before reaching the subscriber. For ongoing protection, the AI assistant can remain on the call, providing real-time risk assessment, warning subscribers through whisper warnings, or helping terminate or redirect fraudulent conversations when necessary. The platform continuously learns from emerging attack patterns, enabling protection that evolves as fraud tactics change.

Built on Mavenir's proven security portfolio, which is already deployed across more than 70 Tier-1 operator networks protecting over one billion subscribers worldwide, NetAIShield represents the next evolution of AI-native telecom security, combining network-wide intelligence with personalized, real-time subscriber protection to defend against the rapidly growing threat of AI-powered fraud.

*Patient experience data (PED) are direct insights that patients provide on their symptoms, quality of life, treatment preferences and unmet needs.

*PED Essentials is an online learning hub, co-created with patients and subject matter experts to provide foundational PED knowledge.

*The launch is timely as the Europeans Medicines Agency (EMA) progresses work on its landmark reflection paper on PED, highlighting growing regulatory recognition of patient experience as an important source of evidence.

Ingelheim, Germany - Boehringer Ingelheim today announced the launch of PED Essentials, a comprehensive e-learning hub designed to help patient organizations generate high-quality patient experience data (PED), share these insights with healthcare stakeholders and analyze existing PED as an evidence base for advocacy.

The learning hub comes at a pivotal moment for healthcare. There is growing recognition that lived experience is a critical form of evidence, and medicines, policies and healthcare services should be informed by patient insights and preferences. This shift is creating a greater need for patient organizations to capture and communicate patient insights in a robust and well-documented way. PED Essentials is designed to help them meet this need. It is freely available at www.pedessentials.com.

"Helping patients generate PED could catalyze a new chapter in healthcare innovation. Patients and caregivers bring lived experiences and perspectives that even the most experienced clinicians and scientists cannot fully capture," said Lykke Hinsch Gylvin, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Medicine at Boehringer Ingelheim. "It's an essential component of our integrated-evidence strategy and helps us develop medicines that drive better health outcomes."

Advancing evidence-based patient advocacy

The launch of PED Essentials builds on the Real Voices, Better Choices whitepaper, developed with patient experts to support health system leaders and advocates in formalizing patient participation in healthcare decision-making.

"My hope is that PED Essentials will support patient organizations in turning insights about patient needs and experiences into evidence that informs healthcare decision-making and strengthens advocacy," said Vanessa Pott Sem?do, Head of Global Patient Engagement at Boehringer Ingelheim. "More broadly, PED Essentials reflects the future of Patient Engagement. When healthcare decisions are informed by robust evidence about patient needs and experiences, we can move beyond assumptions and develop better solutions for patients, healthcare systems and innovators alike. That is what we call 'patient-powered progress.'"

The timing is significant. Regulators, Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agencies and payers globally are advancing frameworks that increasingly recognize patient experience as an important source of evidence:

In September 2025, the EMA published a landmark reflection paper on PED, with final guidance expected soon.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to advance Patient-Focused Drug Development and is further strengthening guidance on the use of patient experience and preference information in regulatory decision-making.

Agencies such as the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Canada's Drug Agency (CDA-AMC) increasingly incorporate patient evidence into HTA and reimbursement assessments.

Together, these developments signal a decisive shift: patient perspectives are no longer optional - they are becoming an increasingly important component of regulatory, value assessment, and reimbursement decision-making. For patient organizations, this creates new opportunities to generate and use robust patient experience data to support their priorities and advocacy goals.

A co-created resource

At Boehringer Ingelheim's 2023 Global Patient Partnership Summit (GPPS), patient delegates identified a lack of confidence in generating, analyzing, and submitting high-quality PED. They also highlighted that existing learning materials were fragmented and difficult to access. To address this, Boehringer Ingelheim partnered with patient experts to curate existing PED learning resources into the PED Resource Finder, creating a centralized overview.

Building on this foundation, Boehringer Ingelheim collaborated with Patvocates, a patient-led consultancy, to develop PED Essentials ? an interactive, multimedia e-learning platform designed to close gaps in existing learning materials. The platform was co-created with the patient community through surveys, a patient-led steering committee, and an editorial board of community experts to ensure relevance, accessibility, and quality.

Company outlines a $213 billion market opportunity as power becomes the foundational technology layer from infrastructure to physical applications

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- onsemi (NASDAQ: ON) today outlined its long-term growth strategy to lead one of the largest and most consequential technology shifts of the next decade by solving the growing power constraints limiting the advancement of AI, electrification and automation.

As these markets converge around common technology requirements, onsemi is leveraging its differentiated portfolio across power and sensing to address a $213 billion market opportunity and solve the needs of some of the most important technology trends shaping the global economy.

"Every transformational technology eventually encounters a physical constraint. As AI, electrification and automation continue to scale, power density is emerging as one of the defining engineering challenges of this decade," said Hassane El-Khoury, President and CEO of onsemi. "The companies that lead in the next era of innovation will be those that can deliver more energy while consuming less space. As that challenge becomes more urgent, power has become a foundational technology layer that will help shape the pace of innovation, economic growth and global competitiveness. We have spent years building deep expertise and a broad portfolio across power and sensing to help customers solve this challenge and enable the next generation of intelligent machines."

Unlocking a $213 Billion Opportunity

onsemi sees a $213 billion total addressable market by 2030 spanning automotive, industrial, AI data center and emerging applications. Although these markets are often viewed separately, they increasingly rely on the same underlying capabilities: efficient power conversion, perception of the physical world, precision actuation and control, and connectivity.

This convergence allows onsemi to deploy common technology platforms across multiple end markets. A high-voltage technology developed for automotive electrification, for example, can also support industrial energy systems and AI data centers. Advances in sensing and connectivity can extend across vehicles, factories, robotics, medical systems and other autonomous applications.

The company expects this platform-based model to increase the revenue potential of its core technologies by moving from individual components to higher-value solutions and system architectures that address a larger share of each customer's design requirements. Through this approach, onsemi can generate greater leverage from its R&D investments, reduce dependence on any single end market or technology cycle, and grow faster than the markets it serves.

"Throughout history, foundational technologies have created outsized value because they enable everything built above them," El-Khoury said. "Power has become the common denominator across these end markets. For onsemi, that creates opportunities to innovate beyond any market trend, with multiple paths to expand content, gain share and capture more value."

Solving the Next Challenge: Power Density

Capturing this opportunity requires addressing a growing constraint facing AI infrastructure and other intelligent systems - power density - or the ability to deliver greater performance and capability using less energy and less physical space.

Increasing power density requires electrical, thermal, mechanical and physical performance to be optimized simultaneously. Increasing power typically generates more heat, while reducing system size can make that heat more difficult to remove. Improving efficiency may require new materials, device architectures and integration methods. Historically, these trade-offs forced system designers to make compromises among power, size, cost and thermal performance.

As these challenges become more complex, value increasingly shifts to companies that can optimize across the entire system. onsemi has expanded beyond traditional power semiconductors to build capabilities spanning technologies, products, solutions and systems. onsemi highlighted three technology platforms that will shape the next generation of intelligent systems and drive long-term growth across its key end markets:

High-Voltage Technologies: The Device Layer

onsemi's high-voltage portfolio spans silicon, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), giving customers a range of options to optimize performance, efficiency, power density and cost. The portfolio includes vertical gallium nitride (vGaN), a differentiated technology, exclusive to onsemi, designed for next-generation high-voltage applications that can increase efficiency, improve switching performance and reduce system size where conventional power technologies are reaching their limits.

Treo: The Intelligence Layer

Modern systems must do more than convert power. They must monitor operating conditions, communicate across the system, respond to changing loads and protect critical functions in real-time. The Treo platform's high precision analog, high density digital and high voltage capabilities, enable systems to become more precise, adaptive and autonomous. This allows onsemi to add these capabilities around the power device, increasing the functionality and value within a customer's system.

Embedded Power Platform (EPP): The Integration Layer

EPP reimagines the package from passive housing into an active contributor to system performance. By using the silicon wafer itself as the package, EPP enables the seamless integration and interconnection of silicon, SiC and GaN technologies within a highly integrated wafer-level architecture. Multiple devices, including FETs, drivers and controllers, can be embedded together in a single package and co-optimized for electrical, thermal and mechanical performance. This enables complete power-system co-design, allowing electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics to be evaluated and optimized together from day one. The result is higher power density, improved system performance, reduced development complexity and faster time-to-market.

As customers increasingly seek complete solutions rather than individual components, onsemi solves a larger portion of the customer's challenge by reducing design complexity and accelerating development across automotive, industrial, AI data center and emerging applications. With this focus on the entire system-level solution, onsemi creates a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate through individual components alone.

Beyond the Data Center: AI's Next Frontier is the Physical World

While today's AI investments are largely focused on building the infrastructure needed to train and run increasingly sophisticated models, the next phase of growth will occur at the edge, where intelligence moves beyond the data center into machines that interact directly with the physical world.

These physical AI systems must sense, decide, act and adapt safely in real-world environments, in real-time. Whether deployed in a robot, vehicle, factory, medical system or autonomous platform, each system requires four capabilities to operate together:

Power to provide the energy foundation that enables intelligent systems to operate

Sense to perceive and understand the physical environment

Control to execute decisions through precise real-world actions

Connected Compute to process, share and continuously adapt information at the edge

As this transition happens, many of these same technologies onsemi developed for automotive and industrial applications can be applied to this emerging market. onsemi's ability to combine these capabilities through system-level co-design and optimize performance across the full stack, positions it to deliver differentiated solutions and capture a larger share of the value created by physical AI.

"The most attractive opportunities of the next decade are emerging as markets converge around the same technologies," El-Khoury said. "The ability to efficiently deliver power, sense the environment and enable intelligent decision-making will define the next generation of intelligent machines. Our differentiated technology platforms enable us to solve power density across the device, intelligence and integration layers in a way no other semiconductor company can, positioning us to expand our content and grow as AI moves from infrastructure into the physical world."

BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 17 September 2026 - The Shanghai Diamond Exchange (SDE), in collaboration with Government representatives from Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, alongside members of the Chinese and international diamond industry, convened in Beijing on Sept. 15th to sign the Beijing Declaration on Natural Diamonds and Sustainable Development (hereinafter referred to as the "Beijing Declaration").

The Beijing Declaration recognises the global nature of the diamond industry and acknowledges the connection from the positive socioeconomic impact felt in diamond-producing countries to China's consumers of diamond jewellery, who are increasingly looking for authenticity and individuality in their jewellery choices.

Hosted by the Shanghai Diamond Exchange, the event and signing ceremony in Beijing brought together government representatives of Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, with senior figures from China's jewellery industry and the global natural diamond industry. In the spirit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, participants held in-depth exchanges on the current state of the global natural diamond industry, including consumer and retail trends in China, the socioeconomic impact of the natural diamond industry across diamond-producing countries in Africa and future industry cooperation priorities.

Natural diamonds are born of the earth, and behind their value they deliver tangible socioeconomic returns for African diamond-producing nations: driving economic growth, providing jobs, livelihoods and skills development, and supporting conservation and biodiversity. The Beijing Declaration acknowledges natural diamonds' unique geological origin, rarity and enduring value, as well as their deep-rooted cultural meaning within Chinese traditions as symbols of purity, beauty and eternal commitment. Through the Beijing Declaration, the industry acknowledges that these positive impacts deserve to be better understood by more Chinese consumers.

Rooted in the long-term friendly relations and mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Africa, the Beijing Declaration sets forth a shared vision for advancing sustainable development of the natural diamond industry, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union's Agenda 2063.

The Beijing Declaration builds a shared vision for deepening exchange and cooperation across the natural diamond value chain. It proposes support for African diamond-producing countries in enhancing local value creation capacity, strengthening skills training and promoting economic diversification; further enhancing transparent and objective consumer communication on the origin of natural diamonds and their socioeconomic impact; deepening market links between African diamond-producing countries and Chinese consumers; and, relying on existing bilateral and multilateral China-Africa cooperation mechanisms, further expanding exchange and cooperation to jointly promote more inclusive and sustainable economic development.

As an important element of the global natural diamond industry, China's consumer market is steadily maturing. As a State Council-approved national diamond trading platform, the Shanghai Diamond Exchange plays an important role in connecting the global natural diamond supply chain with Chinese consumers, providing integrated customs, tax and certification services, and serving as a permanent member of the Executive Committee of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB). Chinese consumers are extending their attention to natural diamonds to authenticity, traceable provenance, cultural meaning and enduring value.

The key advocates of the Beijing Declaration were:

Mr. Lin Qiang, President of the Shanghai Diamond Exchange

H.E. Prof. Lekoko S. Kenosi, Ambassador of Botswana to the People's Republic of China

Ms. Nosiphiwo Mzamo, Chief Executive Officer, South African State Diamond Trader

H.E. Ms. Tonata Itenge-Emvula, Ambassador of Namibia to the People's Republic of China

The signing was witnessed by global industry representatives including Mr. Al Cook, CEO of De Beers Group, Ms. Amber Pepper, CEO of the Natural Diamond Council and Ms. Emma Wade-Smith on behalf of the World Diamond Council.

Major Chinese jewellery retail brands were also represented at the signing ceremony, including Chow Tai Fook, Lao Feng Xiang, Chow Sang Sang, Lukfook Jewellery, CHJ Jewelry, Chow Tai Seng, Sino Gem and Kimberlite.

Mr. Lin Qiang, President of the Shanghai Diamond Exchange, said:

"We are delighted to welcome delegations from leading African diamond-producing countries to Beijing. Natural diamonds deliver profound socioeconomic benefits to these nations. As China continues its evolution as a major player in the global diamond industry, we are thrilled to lay important foundations for enhanced collaboration between China and African diamond-producing nations. Today represents a meaningful new beginning: for closer connections, deeper mutual understanding and expanded partnerships. The Shanghai Diamond Exchange will keep fulfilling its role as a platform and bridge. We look forward to future interactions that unlock opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation, and to bringing the authentic stories and genuine value of natural diamonds to growing numbers of Chinese consumers."

Al Cook, CEO of De Beers Group, said:

"'Building Forever' lies at the heart of De Beers' approach in Africa. We want every diamond discovered to bring real, positive impact for the people and the land where we find these precious stones. We welcome the Beijing Declaration as a new framework to help us better link African diamond-producing countries with Chinese consumers. We are committed to working across the global diamond industry so that natural diamonds can continue to support jobs and livelihoods and protect the natural environment."

H.E. Prof. Lekoko S. Kenosi, Ambassador of Botswana to the People's Republic of China, said:

"For Botswana, diamonds represent far more than luxury gemstones; they are an important resource for national development. Discovered shortly after our independence, diamond resources have financed broad access to quality education, healthcare, infrastructure and livelihood opportunities for generations of Batswana people. We have built local industrial capabilities across sorting, cutting and polishing, and our ambition stretches further: to embed greater technology, expertise and economic value within our borders, diversifying our national economy while safeguarding our precious natural heritage through conservation initiatives such as the Okavango Eternal partnership. A diamond may leave Botswana's soil, yet the human capital, enterprise development capacity and environmental stewardship its revenue creates remain at home. When Chinese consumers select a diamond to mark marriage, family milestones or personal celebration, their choice connects directly to livelihoods, youth opportunity and national development ambitions within producing nations. We do not ask consumers to bear responsibility for our development, but we urge that this full human story of origin be made visible through informed consumer understanding. The signing of the Beijing Declaration opens a promising new chapter for our bilateral ties, enabling diamonds to serve as a bridge of shared progress between our peoples."

H.E. Ms. Dipuo Bertha Letsatsi-Duba, Ambassador of South Africa to the People's Republic of China, said:

"I am very honoured to witness this historic moment of the Beijing Declaration. The Declaration establishes a positive and constructive cooperation framework for signatory countries, provides an open basis for dialogue, cooperation and mutual understanding, and enables African producers and relevant parties in China's natural diamond industry to further recognize the value of natural diamonds in economic growth, employment and sustainable development. Consumer confidence is crucial, especially for natural diamond products with emotional value. We are deeply proud that natural diamonds can lay the foundation for this cooperation and hope the Beijing Declaration will become one of the best multilateral interactions between China and African diamond production partners."

Signatory governments to the Beijing Declaration, together with industry representatives from natural diamond trading, manufacturing and retail, will continue follow-up exchange and cooperation to further translate the vision set out in the Declaration into concrete actions. Future cooperation directions include promoting industry market data cooperation, carrying out consumer-facing education programmes on the origin and industry impact of natural diamonds, conducting cross-border exchange on global best practices, and exploring more cooperation opportunities through existing China-Africa sustainable development cooperation mechanisms.

ANDOVER, Mass., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicor has granted a non-exclusive license to a new OEM licensee with the right to procure Vertical Power Delivery (VPD) modules covered by Vicor patents from unlicensed suppliers. VPD enables high-performance AI compute and network processors fueled at a high current density from a low voltage source.

VPD systems, consisting of a "multi-cell converter" and a VPD network, enable breakthrough performance by avoiding the "the last inch problem" of Lateral Power Delivery (LPD). VPD systems are protected by foundational patents to innovations conceived during a decade of pioneering research conducted by Vicor in the U.S.

VPD licensees can source VPD solutions from unlicensed global suppliers, whose multi-cell Voltage Regulators (VR) or Integrated Voltage Regulators (IVRs) are stacked in a multi-layer system. VPD solutions using high current density and high gain MCM? current multipliers manufactured as ChiPs (Converters housed in Package) in a Vicor fab are also available to licensees. MCMs enable substantially higher total system efficiency, are much thinner and mechanically and thermally adept.

By procuring VPD modules for high-performance AI accelerators from Vicor, licensees may earn substantial discounts on licensing royalties for commodity VPD modules from unlicensed suppliers. The Vicor licensing practice provides OEMs and hyperscalers with multi-source flexibility, supply chain redundancy, and scalability, including from U.S. based Vicor fabs.

As high-performance compute and network processors migrate to VPD, unlicensed OEMs and hyperscalers may need a license to secure their supply chain. Potential licensees may expect a structured licensing practice providing much lower royalty rates for early adopters. Supply agreements with infringing suppliers may contain indemnification provisions for recovery of royalties and monetary damages, but cannot overcome importation bans.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 September 2026 - Hong Kong's Chief Executive, John Lee, today (September 16) announced his fifth Policy Address, putting forward a series of measures to create development opportunities and enhance the well-being of the people.

"This year marks the opening year of the National 15th Five-Year Plan. In the thick of accelerating global changes not seen in a century, the vibrant momentum driven by our country's robust strength, enormous market and high-quality development presents Hong Kong with boundless opportunities. We will better develop our economy and boost social well-being, starting a bright new chapter for Hong Kong," Mr Lee said.

Entitled "A Strategic Vision for a Bright New Era, Driving Reform and Boosting Development, Unleashing Opportunities and Enhancing Livelihood", the Policy Address takes the First Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (2026-2030) (Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan) as its blueprint, and proposes numerous key measures focusing on five major development opportunities to advance high-quality development.

To attract and retain high-calibre talent, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government will expedite the development of the Northern Metropolis University Town to strengthen the city's position as an international education hub. The HKSAR Government will also increase the research postgraduate places by around 30 per cent and the quota for government scholarships by 200, and establish five new major academies for training international talent: the International Clinical Trial Academy, Maritime Academy, Hong Kong International Legal Talents Training Academy, Hong Kong Intellectual Property Academy and Hong Kong International Academy of Policing.

To promote industry development, the Policy Address proposes to accelerate development of an international gold trading market and to explore a proposal to provide tax concessions for qualifying activities within the gold and commodity trading ecosystem. The HKSAR Government will also announce details of the new Renminbi-denominated and physically settled gold futures contracts; explore the possibility of increasing the Exchange Fund's gold holdings, and gradually transfer its physical gold holdings to designated vaults appointed by the Hong Kong Precious Metals Central Clearing Company Limited.

A number of policies are proposed to promote industry development, including introducing specialty insurance (e.g. commodity, commercial aerospace, etc.); injecting funding into the Artificial Intelligence Subsidy Scheme to support the development of the intelligent computing industry; accelerating the adoption of medical innovation and industry chain development to enable the public to benefit from better and newer drugs; and fostering a new economic landscape for the low-altitude and emerging industries, such as commercial aerospace.

The Government is developing six special industry parks, including the Loop Hong Kong Park, San Tin Technopole, Hung Shui Kiu Industry Park, Sandy Ridge Data Facility Cluster and Hung Shui Kiu/Ha Tsuen modern logistics cluster. Land is also earmarked for building an advanced construction industry park to increase investment opportunities for enterprises.

To attract enterprises to establish a foothold in Hong Kong, tax concessions will be granted on the basis of the value brought by enterprises, instead of solely considering the industry sector.

Platform uses silicon wafer itself as the package and introduces a highly integrated approach to power system design across automotive, industrial, and AI data center markets

Summary: onsemi today unveiled the Embedded Power Platform (EPP), redefining system power delivery through unprecedented power density and integration of multiple dies into a single silicon device. By jointly optimizing electrical, mechanical and thermal performance within a single architecture, EPP enables up to 3 - 5x higher power density compared with current solutions with a highly integrated approach to power system design. This helps customers reduce complexity while scaling for the increasing demands of AI infrastructure and electrification.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- onsemi today unveiled the Embedded Power Platform (EPP), a breakthrough architecture that uses the silicon wafer itself as the foundation of the package and introduces a highly integrated approach to power system design.

Designed as a scalable platform, EPP brings electrical, mechanical and thermal design together from the outset to help customers achieve higher power density, improve system performance and accelerate development in AI, electrification and autonomous applications.

"For decades, the semiconductor and the package have been treated as separate technologies. EPP changes that by making the silicon itself part of the system architecture," said Hassane El-Khoury, President and CEO of onsemi. "EPP brings together advanced semiconductor technologies, manufacturing and system-level optimization into a common architecture that can evolve alongside future innovations. This approach can redefine how power systems are built and create a new foundation for AI infrastructure, electrification and automation."

What's New: EPP reimagines the package from passive housing into an active contributor to system performance. By using the silicon wafer itself as the package, EPP enables the seamless integration and interconnection of silicon, silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) technologies within a highly integrated wafer-level architecture. Multiple devices, including FETs, drivers and controllers, can be embedded together in a single package and co-optimized for electrical, thermal and mechanical performance. This enables complete power-system co-design, allowing electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics to be evaluated and optimized together from day one. The result is higher power density, improved system performance, reduced development complexity and faster time-to-market.

EPP also leverages onsemi's standard 12-inch silicon wafer manufacturing capabilities, bringing key integration processes into the precision and control of the semiconductor fab. This applies mature semiconductor design tools, wafer-level manufacturing and advanced simulation capabilities to power-system integration, helping improve performance while accelerating innovation.

Subaru Corporation is one of the first early engagement partners for EPP, working with onsemi to evaluate how the platform could support future electrified vehicle architectures. Through the collaboration, Subaru will gain early access to engineering samples, simulation models and technical expertise as the companies explore opportunities to improve vehicle performance, streamline development and accelerate innovation.

Why It Matters: AI infrastructure, electrified transportation, industrial automation are all competing for the same critical resource: power. Customers need to move and manage more electricity within increasingly compact systems while controlling heat, efficiency, cost and development time. Yet many of today's power systems are still developed using traditional design approaches that treat power electronics, mechanical design and thermal design as separate engineering challenges, with each layer optimized independently and sequentially. Decisions made at one stage can create compromises in another, leading to additional engineering iterations, costly late-stage changes and longer development cycles.

EPP replaces that sequential model with a common platform that can be co-designed, co-simulated and co-optimized. This approach is designed to help customers:

Achieve 3 - 5x higher power density, depending on the application

Accelerate development cycles to as little as four months

Improve thermal performance and heat dissipation

Reduce electrical losses through lower parasitic inductance

Enable greater device control and higher switching frequencies

Identify design trade-offs earlier and reduce costly late-stage changes

Scale a common architecture across power levels, device types, applications semiconductor technologies

AI Infrastructure Applications: As AI rack power increases, more space and cooling capacity must be dedicated to the systems that deliver, convert and protect that power. This can limit how much compute capacity can fit within a rack. In an early EPP-based solid-state circuit-breaker design, the solution was approximately 50% smaller and 20% cooler than existing designs. By reducing packaging overhead and using the full EPP footprint to conduct heat, EPP can support more compact power systems, improve thermal management and enable greater power density in AI infrastructure.

Electric Vehicle Applications: Electric vehicle traction inverters are often constrained by efficiency losses, thermal limitations, development complexity and system size. EPP addresses these challenges with up to 4x higher power density and 15% lower power losses compared to conventional approaches, enabling smaller, lighter and more efficient inverter designs. Its scalable architecture supports a single inverter platform spanning low-end to high-end vehicle applications, allowing automakers to reuse a common design across multiple vehicle models and power classes.

This approach can reduce R&D and manufacturing costs, accelerate qualification and development cycles, improve vehicle range or lower system costs, and help bring new vehicle programs to market faster.

The AI era is creating new infrastructure challenges that cannot be solved by computing power alone. As power becomes one of the defining constraints on future innovation, EPP represents a fundamentally new approach to how energy is delivered, managed and optimized. By turning the silicon wafer into the package itself, onsemi is establishing a foundation for the next generation of AI, electrification and autonomous systems.

Availability: EPP is expected to begin sampling in 2026 with strategic customers and ecosystem participants across automotive and AI applications.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FloQast, the Accounting Workflow Automation platform created by accountants for accountants, today unveiled a suite of innovations at its annual TakeControl user conference, alongside the announcement that Lucia Wind, Board Chair and outgoing Executive Director of COSO, has joined the company as SVP, Risk & Audit Advisory. TakeControl packs two days with original research, practitioner sessions, and technical education.

The event, held September 16-17, brings together 40 speakers from companies like AWS, Equinox, EY, and Meta, across accounting, finance, audit, risk, and compliance, and offers more than 10 CPE credits.

The products introduced today all start from the same premise that accounting AI has to clear a higher bar than AI in other functional areas. Every output needs to be explainable, and every decision needs to be reconstructible for an auditor. The AI-powered products that FloQast is launching today deliver on that promise end to end.

"Accounting is entering a new era where AI can fundamentally change how teams operate, automating routine tasks and freeing up time for higher-judgment work," said FloQast co-founder and CEO Mike Whitmire, CPA (inactive), FCA. "What we are unveiling at TakeControl is designed to give accounting teams the ability to move faster with AI while maintaining the accuracy, governance, and auditability their work demands."

New Innovations Include:

Transform now builds agents from your workflows - FloQast Transform can now reverse-engineer the end-to-end workflows your team runs each month and turn them into AI agents. Hand FloQast files from a close your team has already finished, and Transform builds an AI agent that runs that process for you: documented, tested against numbers your team already approved, and ready to show your auditor. No IT or coding required - your accounting team builds it themselves, and they sign off on every step before it goes live.

COSO GenAI Module governs AI agents with COSO compliance built in - FloQast will soon operationalize COSO's GenAI governance framework so teams can wrap their AI agents in COSO-compliant governance - risk assessment, control environment and activities, and ongoing monitoring and assurance - directly inside the platform. Audit evidence will write itself with connectivity between Transform and FloQast Connected Compliance.

AI Assistant reviews journal entries before accountants approve them - FloQast's AI Assistant puts AI on every page of FloQast, answering questions, preparing and reviewing work, and meeting teams inside the workflows they use every day. Its first application is journal entry review, built into FloQast Journal Entry Management. When a preparer submits an entry, the reviewer can ask for an AI review before approving it. The Assistant flags errors and anomalies, scores audit risk, explains its reasoning, and recommends a fix.The human makes every call.

Detect flags transaction anomalies before the books close - FloQast Detect is an AI-powered transaction monitoring tool that learns normal patterns on a per-subsidiary, per-account basis, and flags anomalies before the books close. Each flagged transaction is assessed for GL impact, routed for review, and signed off with a full audit trail. User-defined rules layer on top, codifying the team's own review criteria and applying them to every transaction, every period.

Operational Audits allow teams to manage their entire audit universe in one place - FloQast Operational Audit is an expansion of FloQast's internal audit capabilities to cover the entire audit plan, including SOX testing, other compliance audits, and now, operational audits. Built around your team's own methodology, AI drafts the audit plan. AI executes your testing. One click generates an executive-ready report from live audit data. Evidence, testing, and documentation all live in a single view.

COSO Chair Lucia Wind Joins FloQast

In conjunction with the release of these new products, FloQast has hired Lucia Wind, Board Chair of COSO, as SVP, Risk & Audit Advisory. Wind oversaw COSO's publication of its generative AI governance framework earlier this year, the same framework FloQast is operationalizing in the COSO AI Module, beginning with a full capability, risk and control mapping. COSO's guidance is the standard against which accounting and audit teams are increasingly expected to govern their AI agents.

"My career has been built around helping organizations manage risk, strengthen controls, and build trust in their reporting, especially as technology reshapes how those functions operate," said Lucia Wind, Floqast SVP of Risk & Audit Advisory. "FloQast understands the challenges teams face as they adopt new digital tools and is creating solutions that make a real difference. I'm excited to bring my experience to a team that is helping clients build finance, audit, and risk practices that are modern, resilient, and ready for long‑term success."

The IDC MarketScape cites Quantexa's strengths as: decision-ready data foundation, traceability and explainability, agentic assistants and workflows

LONDON and NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantexa, a global data, analytics, and AI software company pioneering Decision Intelligence, today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Decision Intelligence Platforms 2026 Vendor Assessment, marking the second time the company has been recognized as a Leader in this category.

The IDC MarketScape evaluates technology vendors offering decision intelligence platforms, assessing both current capabilities and the strength of each vendor's strategy for the market over the next three to five years.

Quantexa's Decision Intelligence Platform is built around dynamic entity resolution and knowledge graph technology that unifies fragmented structured and unstructured data into what the company calls Real-World Context, a single, contextual view of customers, counterparties, suppliers and other entities.

For customers, this creates a single context layer that can be applied across different lines of business, from KYC and fraud detection to customer intelligence, rather than rebuilding a fragmented view of the same data for each use case. That context layer underpins a broader decisioning layer combining rules engines, machine learning, graph analytics, workflows and agentic AI, designed to automate routine decisions and augment human decision-makers with explainable, context-rich recommendations.

The company's AI strategy pairs large language models with this context layer, reflecting Quantexa's view that context and entity resolution are prerequisites for trustworthy AI in regulated environments. Its agentic offerings are built to be platform-agnostic: an MCP-based gateway lets clients expose this contextual data to any AI application or agent running across their enterprise, alongside a co-pilot embedded directly in decision workflows and verticalized agents planned for functions such as KYC.

Key Strengths According to the IDC MarketScape:

Decision-ready data foundation: Quantexa connects internal and external, structured and unstructured data into a single graph-based view, which the company positions as "Real-World Context" that supports both analytical exploration and human/AI decisioning across use cases.

Traceability and explainability: The platform emphasizes transparency in how data is matched and connected, an important consideration for organizations that must justify or audit automated and augmented decisions to regulators or the public.

Agentic assistants and workflows: Quantexa automates and augments analyst workflows using embedded copilots and task-specific agents grounded in contextual data. Examples include data-quality and KYC-oriented assistants that help analysts diagnose root causes of poor entity quality and financial crime agents that accelerate investigative workflows that would otherwise require substantial manual effort.

Quantexa's customer base is concentrated in banking, insurance, and the public sector, with a growing presence in healthcare and other corporate sectors. The company points to financial crime investigation, KYC, claims fraud, underwriting, tax fraud detection, and customer intelligence as use cases where its entity resolution and knowledge graph technology are best suited to support decisions in regulated or high-stakes environments.

"Decision intelligence platforms focus on a closed loop of automation, monitoring, and continuous refinement of decisions, with generative and agentic AI now accelerating how that loop operates," said Megha Kumar, research vice president within IDC's Worldwide AI, Automation, Data and Analytics organization. "Quantexa's recognition as a Leader reflects a data foundation and approach to explainability that supports both human-reviewed and agentic decisioning, which matters for organizations operating in regulated, high-stakes environments."

"We believe being named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape validates the approach we've taken since founding Quantexa: that real world context, not just data volume, is what makes decisions trustworthy," said Dan Higgins, Chief Product Officer at Quantexa. "As AI takes on a greater role in decision-making, organizations need a context layer that connects and enriches their data, so the recommendations they act on are accurate, explainable and grounded in a complete view of the business. To me, this recognition reflects the work we've put into building that foundation, and the direction we're taking it with agentic AI."

About IDC MarketScape

IDC MarketScape vendor assessment model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications technology) suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor's position within a given market. IDC MarketScape provides a clear framework in which the product and service offerings, capabilities and strategies, and current and future market success factors of IT and telecommunications vendors can be meaningfully compared. The framework also provides technology purchasers with an assessment of the criteria relevant to their organization and an evaluation of the vendors judged against those criteria.
