Report verifying the net carbon impact of NEC’s agricultural solution, CropScope, published as part of the Net Carbon Impact initiative promoted by the EU Green Digital Coalition

TOKYO, June 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced the release of the final report from the Net Carbon Impact project conducted by the European Green Digital Coalition (hereinafter "EGDC")(1), which quantitatively assessed the decarbonization effects of implementing NEC’s smart agriculture solution "CropScope"(2).The final report is available here: https://www.greendigitalcoalition.eu/case-studies-deployment-phase/#agricultureThe EGDC is a coalition of companies established at the request of the European Council, with the support of the European Parliament and the European Commission, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions across society through the use of digital technologies.Under this initiative, the net carbon impact of digital technologies is quantitatively assessed as a measure of emissions reduction by comparing scenarios in which digital technologies are "used" and "not used", based on a scientific methodology developed by the EGDC.About Net Carbon ImpactNet carbon impact refers to the overall net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions achieved through the adoption of digital technologies, calculated by subtracting the additional emissions generated through the manufacturing, operation, and disposal of the equipment required to implement those technologies from the emissions reductions enabled by the technologies themselves.Because it also takes into account increase in emissions associated with the use of such equipment, net carbon impact enables an objective assessment of the actual emissions reduction effect that the adoption of a given technology has across society as a whole.Overview of the Case StudyThis case study focused on the variable-rate fertilization function incorporated into NEC’s smart agriculture solution, "CropScope." Variable-rate fertilization is a method in which fertilizer is applied at optimized rates for each area of a field according to crop growth conditions and soil conditions, rather than applying the same amount uniformly across the entire field.The study compared scenarios in which CropScope’s variable-rate fertilization function was implemented and not implemented at farms in Hokkaido, Japan, and comprehensively evaluated:the reduction effect on fertilizer usage achieved through variable-rate fertilization; andthe net carbon impact resulting from reduced fertilizer usage.As a result, CropScope’s variable-rate fertilization function was confirmed to have a tangible effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector.How Variable Rate Fertilization Contributes to DecarbonizationFertilizers used in agriculture contain nitrogen, which is essential for crop growth. However, when fertilizer is applied in amounts exceeding what crops can absorb, excess nitrogen remains in the soil. This residual nitrogen is transformed through the activity of soil microorganisms, generating nitrous oxide (Nâ‚‚O), a greenhouse gas, in the process.Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential approximately 270 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. Accordingly, appropriately reducing fertilizer use through variable-rate fertilization helps suppress nitrous oxide emissions and can make a significant contribution to decarbonization across society.Reduction Effects by Crop (Winter Wheat, Spring Wheat, Corn) (3)In this report, we examined the effects over the entire growing season for three crop types: winter wheat, spring wheat, and corn. The main findings for each crop are as follows.For all crops evaluated, the net carbon impact achieved through reduced fertilizer use significantly exceeded the average emissions generated by tractor operations during the cultivation period.These results quantitatively demonstrate that implementing CropScope’s variable-rate fertilization function can reduce unnecessary fertilizer use while also contributing to lower environmental impact.Secondary Effects Beyond Greenhouse Gas ReductionsIn addition to greenhouse gas reductions, this assessment also identified the following secondary benefits:Economic benefits for farmers through reduced fertilizer costsImproved water quality and reduced risks of eutrophication and adverse ecological impacts through the suppression of fertilizer runoffImproved soil health, such as enhanced soil organic matter retentionThese findings indicate that variable-rate fertilization technology utilizing digital technologies can contribute both to agricultural sustainability and to climate change mitigation.Looking AheadNEC will leverage the insights gained from this initiative to promote decarbonization in the agricultural sector and work toward the creation of agriculture-based carbon credits.NEC will continue to contribute to the simultaneous advancement of both DX (Digital Transformation) and GX (Green Transformation) across society through the use of digital technologies.(1) The European Green Digital Coalition (EGDC) is an industry-led initiative, supported by the European Commission and the European Parliament at the request of the Council of the European Union, that aims to leverage the emissions reduction potential of digital solutions across all sectors.(2) About NEC’s smart agriculture solution "CropScope"https://www.nec.com/en/global/solutions/agri/index.html(3) The conditions under which this case study was conducted are as follows.(4) Calculated based on the tax-exempt agricultural diesel fuel consumption standards published by Taisetsu Agricultural Cooperative (Hokkaido) and the emission factor published by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment (diesel fuel: 2.619 kgCOâ‚‚/L), assuming four tractor operations (tillage, seeding, intertillage, and harvesting).

Perang Melawan Judi Ilegal: Ujian Nyata Integritas Regulasi Global iGame

Perang Melawan Judi Ilegal: Ujian Nyata Integritas Regulasi Global

(AsiaGameHub) - By: Elena RostovaDunia perjudian saat ini terjebak dalam kebuntuan regulasi yang berbahaya. Vusi Mtsweni, CEO Mpumalanga Economic Regulator (MER), menegaskan bahwa pertempuran melawan operator ilegal bukan sekadar soal pajak yang hilang. Ini adalah krisis perlindungan konsumen yang mendalam. Banyak pihak terjebak dalam ilusi bahwa semua platform taruhan memiliki standar yang sama. Realitasnya, situs ilegal sering kali beroperasi tanpa pengawasan, tanpa mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa, dan tanpa tanggung jawab perjudian yang etis.Regulator kini menghadapi tantangan besar karena inovasi teknologi bergerak lebih cepat daripada kerangka hukum yang ada. Akses mudah melalui ponsel pintar telah memperluas jangkauan operator ilegal ke wilayah yang tidak terjangkau yurisdiksi lokal. Mtsweni mencatat bahwa ketika masalah muncul, konsumen sering kali tidak memiliki perlindungan hukum. Operator lepas pantai ini sengaja memanfaatkan celah hukum untuk menghindari pengawasan ketat yang diterapkan pada operator berlisensi di Afrika Selatan.Keberhasilan di masa depan bergantung pada kolaborasi lintas sektor yang agresif. MER kini mulai mengintegrasikan upaya penegakan hukum dengan lembaga keuangan, penyedia layanan internet, dan perusahaan telekomunikasi. Strategi ini mencakup pemblokiran situs, pembatasan pembayaran, dan pertukaran intelijen secara real-time. Penegakan hukum yang efektif harus berevolusi secepat taktik para operator ilegal. Tanpa sinkronisasi antara teknologi pengawasan dan tindakan hukum, perlindungan konsumen akan terus menjadi janji kosong di tengah pasar yang semakin tidak terkendali.Author bio: Elena Rostova, seorang pakar kebijakan publik yang berfokus pada penilaian kepatuhan untuk pemerintah dan lembaga investasi negara, dengan spesialisasi dalam kerangka kerja regulasi sektor industri yang kompleks.

Finlandia Blokir Autoplay dan Batasi Taruhan iGaming: Apa Ini Akhir dari Liberalisasi yang Baru Mulai? iGame

Finlandia Blokir Autoplay dan Batasi Taruhan iGaming: Apa Ini Akhir dari Liberalisasi yang Baru Mulai?

(AsiaGameHub) - By: Adrian Kingsley Regulasi iGaming baru Finlandia adalah langkah yang terlalu ketat untuk pasar yang baru dibuka. Operator yang sudah mengajukan lisensi harus menyesuaikan model bisnis dengan cepat. Batasan taruhan, larangan autoplay, dan batasan kerugian akan mengurangi pendapatan dan menarik minat investor. Para stakeholder sudah khawatir dengan ketidakpastian selama bulan-bulan terakhir. Menurut rilis resmi, Kementerian Dalam Negeri Finlandia mengeluarkan empat draf regulasi. Semua berdasarkan Undang-Undang Perjudian 10/2026, berlaku mulai 1 Juli 2027. Ini bagian dari upaya liberalisasi pasar iGaming negara itu. Sampai saat ini, sudah ada 50 permohonan lisensi operator yang diajukan. Konsultasi publik dan industri berlangsung hingga 5 Agustus 2026, jadi aturan ini bisa diubah. Dari sisi industri, Antti Koivula, CCO Hippos ATG, mengatakan aturan ini ketat tapi tidak setinggi Jerman atau Belanda. Dia menambahkan bahwa masih akan ada lebih banyak regulasi di masa depan. Draf regulasi melarang autoplay untuk game slot online. Setiap putaran harus dimulai secara manual dan berlangsung minimal 2,5 detik. Setiap 15 menit, pemain akan mendapatkan pengingat untuk melanjutkan atau keluar. Ada batas RTP wajib: 70-99,9% untuk slot dan meja kasino, 50-70% untuk taruhan harian, 55-80% untuk taruhan online. Batas taruhan per putaran slot online adalah €10 untuk pemain di bawah 25 tahun, €20 untuk yang lebih tua. Batas kerugian harian untuk slot fisik adalah €500, bulanan €2.000, tahunan €24.000. Jumlah mesin slot dibatasi: 10.000 di toko ritel, 2.000 di ruang permainan, 400 di kasino satu-satunya di Helsinki. Dampak sosialnya, aturan ini melindungi pemain rentan, terutama yang muda. Tapi operator harus mengeluarkan biaya besar untuk menyesuaikan sistem. Beberapa pemain mungkin beralih ke situs tidak teratur. Pasar iGaming Finlandia akan menjadi pasar yang lebih teratur tapi kurang menarik bagi investor. Regulator akan fokus pada perlindungan pemain, bukan pertumbuhan cepat. Operator yang tidak bisa menyesuaikan diri akan keluar dari pasar. Struktur tata kelola ini akan menjadi contoh untuk negara lain yang membuka pasar perjudian online.

Flutter’s Departure from the London Stock Exchange: What Lies Ahead? iGame

Flutter’s Departure from the London Stock Exchange: What Lies Ahead?

(AsiaGameHub) - By: Robert Kensington Flutter Entertainment has announced its plan to delist from the London Stock Exchange (LSE) by August 2026. Despite this, its shares will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol FLUT. The company attributes this move to persistently low trading volumes on the LSE and the increasing costs, regulatory complexities, and administrative burdens associated with maintaining a dual listing. This decision aligns with a broader trend among London-listed companies in recent years. In 2024, 88 companies either delisted or transferred their primary listings away from the LSE. Bloomberg data shows that London fell to 20th place in the global IPO rankings in 2024, with only 18 companies listing during the year. Flutter's expansion into the US market, mainly through FanDuel, has made the NYSE its more active and liquid exchange. The company joined the NYSE in January 2024. Management emphasizes that this delisting is in the "best interests of the company and its shareholders," focusing on markets that maximize investor liquidity and capital access. Under current FCA listing rules, shareholder approval is not required for the LSE listing cancellation, provided all regulatory conditions are met. However, this move may face increased scrutiny from UK policymakers advocating for a more competitive domestic capital market and retaining UK companies' listings. Flutter generated $4.3 billion in revenue in Q1 of 2026. It will continue trading on the NYSE without interruption while preparing to cease trading on the LSE. The company's stock price has dropped nearly 60% over the past 12 months, with losses accelerating since the start of 2026.

Inflasi Amerika: Permasalahan Angka atau Kepercayaan? Business

Inflasi Amerika: Permasalahan Angka atau Kepercayaan?

By: Julian Holbrooke Pemerintah AS mengatakan inflasi berjalan sesuai harapan. Tapi banyak warga AS tidak setuju. Harga sayuran dan kopi naik tinggi. Ini bukan soal angka saja, tapi kepercayaan rakyat. Pemerintah menganggap angka inflasi normal. Bulan Mei, harga konsumen naik 4,2% tahun ke tahun. Lebih dari 60% kenaikan inflasi itu dari biaya energi. Konflik Israel dan Iran membuat harga bahan bakar naik. Presiden Donald Trump mengatakan angka itu bagus dan inflasi akan turun setelah konflik usai. Di luar pernyataan resmi, ada isu lain. Biaya energi naik, tapi ada tekanan lain. Ancaman tarif dan investasi besar di data center dan AI membuat harga naik. Konsumen beralih ke supermarket murah. Mereka lebih hemat. Inflasi bisa jadi masalah politik. Ini membantu Partai Republik menguasai pemerintahan pada 2024. Tapi sekarang, bisa jadi kelemahan sebelum pemilihan tengah masa. Survei menunjukkan hanya 22% warga AS setuju dengan penanganan biaya hidup oleh Trump. Jika pemilihan kongres digelar sekarang, pendukung Demokrat lebih banyak. Inflasi mungkin turun jika pasar energi stabil. Tapi, membangun kembali kepercayaan rakyat lebih sulit daripada menurunkan angka inflasi.

Menara Persahabatan yang Tak Hanya Monumen: Mengapa China dan Korea Utara Kembali Terus Kembali ke Kenangan Perang Business

Menara Persahabatan yang Tak Hanya Monumen: Mengapa China dan Korea Utara Kembali Terus Kembali ke Kenangan Perang

By: Gavin Thorne Kunjungan Xi Jinping ke Menara Persahabatan China-DPRK di Pyongyang pada 9 Juni bukanlah acara upacara biasa. Ia datang bersama istri, Peng Liyuan, dan menemui Kim Jong Un beserta istri nya, Ri Sol Ju. Ini adalah kunjungan kenegaraan kedua Xi ke Korea Utara, dan dia kembali memilih untuk mengunjungi menara tersebut. Dalam politik internasional, pengulangan tindakan seringkali mengungkapkan prioritas lebih jelas daripada pidato resmi apapun. Pesan resmi dari kunjungan ini sangat jelas. Di Menara Persahabatan, Xi dengan teliti meninjau daftar tentara Sukarelawan Rakyat Tiongkok yang gugur. Ia menjelaskan detail tentang para martir tersebut kepada Kim Jong Un. Xi menyatakan, Perang Melawan Agresi AS dan Membantu Korea tetap menjadi kenangan historis abadi untuk generasinya, dan sekarang sedang disampaikan ke generasi muda di Tiongkok. Memorial ini berdiri di bawah Bukit Moran di Pyongyang. Patung reliefnya menampilkan tentara dan warga sipil Tiongkok serta Korea yang bertempur bersama selama Perang Korea. Korea Utara telah memperluas dan merenovasi situs ini beberapa kali sejak pembangunannya. Renovasi interior besar selesai pada Juni 2023. Menara ini tetap menjadi titik fokus untuk acara peringatan hari ulang tahun kunci terkait perang tersebut. Sinyal yang lebih dalam terletak di luar upacara tersebut. Kedua pemimpin setuju untuk bersama-sama melindungi fasilitas memorial yang didedikasikan untuk para martir Sukarelawan Rakyat Tiongkok. Mereka juga memanggil program tradisi revolusioner yang khas dan inisiatif pendidikan moral untuk pemuda. Bahasa ini memiliki bobot politik yang besar, karena memori historis tidak lagi disimpan sebagai arsip yang diam. Memori historis tidak diperlakukan sebagai arsip statis. Ia sedang diintegrasikan secara aktif ke dalam pembangunan bangsa dan pendidikan politik saat ini. Komentar dari pendidik museum dan pekerja memorial setelah kunjungan memperkuat tema yang sama. Entah di Pyongyang, Tonghua, atau Dandong, penekanannya adalah mengubah pengorbanan historis menjadi narasi hidup yang dapat dipahami oleh generasi muda melalui cerita, artefak, dan pengalaman mendalam bukan hanya buku teks. Bagi pengamat luar, Menara Persahabatan seringkali dipandang sebagai peninggalan konflik masa lalu. Namun Beijing dan Pyongyang melihatnya sebagai sesuatu yang berbeda. Mereka melihatnya sebagai jangkar politik yang bertahan melalui pergantian kepemimpinan, ketegangan regional, dan kondisi internasional yang berubah. Simbol hanya berarti ketika pemerintah terus memberikan makna padanya. Kenyataan bahwa kedua pihak terus kembali ke situs ini menunjukkan bahwa dasar hubungan China-Korea Utara masih dibingkai melalui memori perang bersama.

Keyboard Terkeren 2026 Gak Bawa RGB Ribet, Justru Hapus Fitur yang Gak Kamu Butuhkan Business

Keyboard Terkeren 2026 Gak Bawa RGB Ribet, Justru Hapus Fitur yang Gak Kamu Butuhkan

By: Oliver Hawthorne Industri keyboard mekanik sekarang terjebak di perlombaan fitur yang tidak berguna. Semua brand berlomba menambahkan knob, layar kecil, dan efek RGB yang makin terang. Tapi tidak ada yang sentuh masalah dasar: layout keyboard kita masih desain zaman mesin tik. Orang yang mengetik 8 jam sehari sering merasakan nyeri pergelangan tangan, tapi tidak ada solusi nyata dari brand mainstream. Epomaker baru saja meluncurkan Hack70, keyboard yang mengusung layout ortholinear kompak 65 tombol. Semua tombol diletakkan di baris dan kolom lurus, bukan tumpang tindih seperti keyboard tradisional. Tujuannya sederhana: mengurangi gerakan jari ke samping, mempersingkat jarak tempuh jari, menurunkan kelelahan saat mengetik lama. Ada juga split spacebar yang mengubah tombol terbesar di papan jadi dua input yang bisa diprogram secara mandiri. Ditambah dukungan VIA, pengguna bisa memetakan ulang semua tombol, membuat makro, dan membangun lapisan khusus sesuai alur kerja mereka. Fitur pendukungnya juga lengkap: struktur gasket-mounted, switch yang sudah dilumasi sebelumnya, socket hot-swappable, keycap PBT profil XDA, dan kaki penyangga yang bisa diatur. Konektivitasnya tri-mode, mendukung Windows dan macOS, baterai 3000mAh bisa tahan sampai 100 jam tanpa lampu latar. Gabungan semua fitur ini membuat kurva belajar layout ortholinear yang biasanya sulit jadi lebih mudah diikuti. Sekarang brand keyboard susah membedakan produk satu dengan yang lain. Upgrade switch lebih cepat atau pencahayaan lebih terang sudah tidak menarik lagi minat konsumen. Efisiensi alur kerja adalah area baru yang masih luas untuk dieksplorasi. Hack70 memang tidak cocok untuk semua orang, layout ortholinear memang tidak pernah menarik semua kalangan. Ke depannya, lebih banyak brand akan beralih dari peningkatan kosmetik ke inovasi layout yang benar-benar meningkatkan produktivitas pengguna.

Intellemo AI: Bukan Sekadar Video Cepat, Tapi Kualitas Produksi yang Bisa Diandalkan Business

Intellemo AI: Bukan Sekadar Video Cepat, Tapi Kualitas Produksi yang Bisa Diandalkan

By: Oliver HawthorneKekhawatiran industri teknologi semakin nyata. Semua orang menginginkan video yang dihasilkan AI. Namun, sedikit bisnis yang siap menghadapi kerumitan teknisnya. Laporan benchmark yang ada seringkali mengabaikan jurang pemisah ini. Klip sepuluh detik yang memukau di media sosial takkan bertahan dalam kampanye pemasaran sungguhan. Evaluasi riset terbaru terhadap platform AI video terkemuka menyoroti perpecahan ini. Perlombaan kini bukan lagi soal kecepatan generasi video. Ini tentang siapa yang bisa menghasilkan video yang benar-benar bisa digunakan oleh perusahaan dalam skala besar, tanpa perlu perombakan besar di tahap pascaproduksi.Penelitian ini menguji alat AI video terkemuka berdasarkan dua belas indikator kinerja. Fokus pengujian adalah pada skenario bisnis praktis, bukan sekadar demo pameran. Visualisasi produk, konten juru bicara, presentasi multibahasa, penceritaan bermerek, dan urutan naratif panjang menjadi dasar analisis. Banyak platform unggul di kategori terisolasi. Ada yang menawarkan generasi cepat. Ada pula yang menyediakan pilihan model lebih luas atau opsi kustomisasi lebih dalam. Namun, temuan studi ini menunjuk tiga faktor krusial di lingkungan profesional: kelanjutan format panjang, kualitas sinematik, dan akurasi sinkronisasi bibir. Area inilah yang seringkali menjadi titik lemah proyek komersial. Mempertahankan konsistensi karakter di seluruh urutan yang diperpanjang masih sulit. Gerakan kamera dan pencahayaan realistis masih membedakan konten premium dari rekaman yang terlihat sintetis. Bahkan kesalahan sinkronisasi bibir kecil pun dapat merusak kepercayaan pada video yang menampilkan presenter.Poin paling menarik bukanlah Intellemo AI menduduki peringkat tinggi. Melainkan alasannya. Riset menyimpulkan Intellemo AI memberikan keseimbangan terkuat di antara semua dua belas parameter yang diuji. Platform ini memimpin dalam tiga kategori yang dianggap paling penting untuk video tingkat produksi. Perbedaan ini penting karena pembeli perusahaan jarang memilih alat berdasarkan satu fitur mengesankan. Mereka mencari keandalan di seluruh alur kerja. Tim pemasaran yang memproduksi seratus video per bulan menghadapi tantangan berbeda dari kreator yang bereksperimen dengan klip pendek. Konsistensi menjadi lebih berharga daripada kebaruan. Studi ini menunjukkan platform yang mampu mempertahankan kesinambungan visual, presentasi sinematik, dan sinkronisasi ucapan yang akurat mulai memisahkan diri dari lautan pesaing.Implikasi bisnis yang lebih luas mulai terlihat jelas. Platform video AI memasuki fase kematangan di mana standar evaluasi berubah. Kecepatan generasi dan daftar fitur masih menarik perhatian. Namun, pembeli profesional semakin peduli pada hasil yang dapat digunakan dan efisiensi produksi. Dalam praktiknya, pemenangnya mungkin bukan platform yang menciptakan video terbanyak. Bisa jadi platform yang membutuhkan perbaikan paling sedikit sebelum dipublikasikan.

U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon Celebrates America’s 250th, Adds $17,000 in Prize Money as it Returns December 12-13, 2026

West Palm Beach, FL, June 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 2026 U.S. Polo Assn. Palm Beaches Marathon, a celebration of America's 250th, will introduce prize money for its top Marathon runners for the first time when the race returns to the streets of West Palm Beach on December 12-13, 2026, a move that will attract elite runners worldwide and elevate the status of Palm Beach County's most treasured road test.The introduction of $17,000 in prize money is the next strategic step for elevating this racing event that has experienced record growth in recent years. The men's and women's winners of the Marathon race will each receive $5,000, second-place finishers will receive $2,500, and third place will be worth $1,000. The winners' share of the purse is the largest in the state of Florida.In celebration of America's 250th, the 2026 U.S. Polo Assn.

These charities will receive their donation checks in a lively public presentation following the winners' trophy presentations. This important philanthropic component is part of the overall experience of sport, community, family, health, and wellness.Now is the perfect time for runners to start training for the 2026 race, regardless of their chosen distance.

Central Asia visit momentum continues as Alatau City investment promotion event held in Hong Kong

HONG KONG, Jun 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A business delegation led by the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), John Lee, and organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), visited Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan from 1 to 5 June, further strengthening economic and trade ties between Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and Central Asia. Following the successful conclusion of this visit, the Alatau City Authority, a state body of Kazakhstan, promptly held the Alatau City Investment Round Table in Hong Kong today (11 June). The event forms part of an official visit by a Kazakh delegation to Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. It reflects increasingly close ties between the two sides, while demonstrating proactive efforts to build on the outcomes of the recent visit and sustain the momentum of cooperation.The roundtable was attended by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR, John Lee, and the Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Kanat Bozumbayev, and brought together representatives from government bodies, along with leading enterprises, financial institutions and investors from Kazakhstan, the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, as well as members of the business delegation who had participated in the Central Asia visit. Participants explored the latest developments, investment opportunities and key initiatives of Alatau City, a new greenfield project located near Almaty, across different sectors, including fintech, the low-altitude economy, smart city development and infrastructure.John Lee, the Chief Executive of the HKSAR, said at the roundtable session: “Kazakhstan's ambitious reforms and its open, welcoming attitude towards international partners were both welcome and impressive. And Hong Kong is eager to build on this momentum, to explore wide-ranging business and investment co-operation with Kazakhstan - Alatau City very much included. I can tell you Hong Kong shares your commitment to openness and connectivity. Under the unique 'one country, two systems' principle, we are the only world city to combine the China advantage and the global advantage."Silas Chu, Director of Exhibitions and Digital Business of HKTDC, said at the roundtable session: "The HKTDC's role is to promote Hong Kong as an international business platform through our global network of 51 offices. We attach huge importance to the Central Asian market. The fact that we opened our Almaty consultant office back in 2018 speaks for itself. And through our business platforms, including those we co-organise with the Hong Kong SAR government, such as the Belt and Road Summit and InnoEX, we can certainly help promote our city's vision and attract international investors and technology partners."Templewater Limited, one of the business delegates that joined the Chief Executive-led mission to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan from 1 to 5 June, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DASCO Capital today to explore the establishment of a fund supporting the future development of Kazakhstan and Alatau City Project.The Central Asia visit delivered fruitful results, with a total of 96 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and agreements signed, providing strong support for follow-up exchanges and collaboration. Of these, the business delegation signed 66 MoUs and agreements, covering areas such as trade, investment, finance, technology and aviation. In addition, 15 cooperation agreements were signed at the government level, while non-delegation members signed 15 MoUs in areas including academia and culture. These outcomes have laid a solid foundation for deeper economic and trade ties between Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, underscoring Hong Kong’s role as a key platform for Mainland enterprises to go global, while further promoting long-term collaboration with Central Asian markets.The HKTDC will continue to actively follow up on key projects initiated during the visit by providing professional business matching and support services to facilitate their implementation, assisting enterprises in exploring new international opportunities and, through major conferences, business missions and outreach initiatives, promoting collaboration between enterprises from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland and Belt and Road markets, enabling them to seize vast business opportunities.Photo download: https://bit.ly/3RX4OdiThe Alatau City Authority, a state body of Kazakhstan, held the Alatau City Investment Round Table in Hong Kong today (11 June).

Kesalahan Fatal Perusahaan: Mengejar ROI AI Tanpa Membangun Jembatan Dulu

(SeaPRwire) -By: Robert Kensington Kritik utama terhadap gelombang adopsi AI hari ini adalah kemalasan intelektual. Banyak eksekutif terjebak dalam mentalitas "cari yang mudah". Mereka ingin lompat ke tahap otomatisasi dan pengembalian investasi yang cepat. Padahal, mereka melewatkan pekerjaan fondasi yang membosankan dan mahal. Ini seperti membangun menara di atas tanah rawa. Hasilnya pasti ambruk. Industri yang diatur seperti keuangan merasakan hal ini paling dalam. Mereka tak bisa sekadar menempelkan AI di atas tumpukan data yang berantakan. [Fakta Rilis Resmi]: Di acara Brainstorm Tech di Aspen, para pemimpin teknologi mengungkapkan jurang antara harapan dan realitas. Manoj Bohra, CTO State Street, menyebutnya "pekerjaan fondasi". Langkah pertama adalah data yang tepat di tempat yang tepat dengan kontrol tata kelola yang ketat. Lalu, pemetaan alur kerja sebelum otomatisasi. Bill Briggs, CTO Deloitte, mengkritik perusahaan yang gagal melakukan pekerjaan prinsip pertama. Mereka buru-buru meluncurkan use case AI skala besar hanya untuk terlihat melek teknologi. Kathy Pham dari ReviveHealth menambahkan, bisnis sering mengoptimalkan hal yang salah. Mereka menjatuhkan AI ke dalam proses yang sudah lama terpisah dari tujuannya semula. [Subteks Industri]: Di balik nasihat yang tampak masuk akal itu, ada kepanikan yang tersembunyi. Stephen Balaban dari Lambda mengakui, AI sebenarnya belum siap untuk banyak use case di luar pengembangan perangkat lunak. Namun, dia memperingatkan, perusahaan harus bersiap sekarang. Dalam satu atau dua tahun ke depan, model AI akan cukup canggih untuk menjalankan agen di domain lain. Faraz Shafiq dari Wells Fargo mengungkap dilema pengukuran. Bank mereka melihat peningkatan 25% dalam pembukaan akun baru berkat AI. Tapi bagaimana mengukur nilai hubungan manusia ketika seorang banker punya lebih banyak waktu untuk nasabah? ROI sejati mungkin baru terlihat dalam hitungan dekade. [Fakta Lanjutan]: Percakapan berkembang di luar ROI teknis. Boris Cherny dari Anthropic menyoroti kebutuhan manusia yang justru meningkat. Di dunia di mana insinyur menghabiskan waktu mengawasi ratusan agen AI, pertemuan tatap muka untuk membangun kepercayaan dan mentor menjadi lebih krusial. Di panggung utama, CEO Hyatt dan Snowflake sepakat bahwa perusahaan perangkat lunak yang membatasi akses agen AI pihak ketiga akan kalah. Sementara itu, Timothee Lacroix dari Mistral membahas "kedaulatan AI". Ini tentang negara yang menguasai bagian stack yang mereka bisa. Data adalah kunci teka-teki ini, terutama data budaya sensitif masyarakat adat. Pasar akan segera melakukan koreksi keras. Perusahaan yang hanya mengejar use case AI yang mudah dan terlihat keren, tanpa membangun fondasi data dan proses ulang yang solid, akan ditinggalkan. Mereka yang bersabar membangun "jembatan" seperti State Street dan Wells Fargo, meski ROI-nya tidak instan, akan menguasai lanskap kompetitif baru. Gelombang konsolidasi berikutnya tidak akan terjadi di antara model AI, tetapi di antara perusahaan yang mampu mengintegrasikannya secara mendalam ke dalam DNA operasional mereka.

The Tower That Refuses to Become a Monument: Why China and North Korea Keep Returning to the Same Memory SeaPRwire

The Tower That Refuses to Become a Monument: Why China and North Korea Keep Returning to the Same Memory

By: Gavin Thorne – SeaPRwire – Some diplomatic gestures are designed for headlines. Others are designed for history. Xi Jinping’s visit to the China-DPRK Friendship Tower in Pyongyang on June 9 belongs firmly to the second category. During his state visit to North Korea, Xi, accompanied by Peng Liyuan, visited the memorial alongside Kim Jong Un and Ri Sol Ju. This was not a routine ceremonial stop. It was Xi’s second state visit to North Korea and, once again, he made a point of paying tribute at the Friendship Tower. In politics, repetition often reveals priorities more clearly than speeches. The official message was straightforward. At the Friendship Tower, Xi carefully reviewed the roster of fallen Chinese People’s Volunteers and introduced details of the martyrs to Kim Jong Un. He remarked that the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea remains an enduring historical memory for his generation and is now being passed on to younger generations in China. The memorial itself stands beneath Moran Hill in Pyongyang. Its relief sculptures depict Chinese and Korean soldiers and civilians fighting side by side during the Korean War. North Korea has expanded and renovated the site several times since its construction, with a major interior renovation completed in June 2023. The tower continues to serve as a focal point for commemorative events marking key anniversaries related to the war. The deeper signal lies beyond the ceremony. Both leaders agreed during the visit that the memorial facilities dedicated to Chinese People’s Volunteer martyrs should be jointly protected. They also called for distinctive revolutionary tradition programs and youth moral education initiatives. This language carries political weight. Historical memory is not being treated as a static archive. It is being actively integrated into contemporary nation-building and political education. The comments from museum educators and memorial workers quoted after the visit reinforce the same theme. Whether in Pyongyang, Tonghua, or Dandong, the emphasis is on turning historical sacrifice into a living narrative that younger generations can understand through stories, artifacts, and immersive experiences rather than textbooks alone. For outside observers, the Friendship Tower is often viewed as a relic of a past conflict. Beijing and Pyongyang appear to see something different. They see a political anchor that has survived leadership transitions, regional tensions, and shifting international conditions. Memorials only matter when governments continue investing meaning into them. The fact that both sides keep returning to this site suggests that the foundation of China-North Korea relations is still being framed through shared wartime memory. In geopolitics, symbols survive because they continue serving a purpose. The Friendship Tower remains standing because both capitals still find value in the story it tells.

America’s Inflation Problem Is No Longer About Numbers. It’s About Trust. SeaPRwire

America’s Inflation Problem Is No Longer About Numbers. It’s About Trust.

By: Marcus Sterling – SeaPRwire – The White House says inflation is behaving as expected. Many Americans clearly disagree. When lettuce costs nearly four dollars a head, cherry tomatoes sell for more than five dollars a box, and a routine coffee purchase starts feeling like a small luxury, economic data stops being an abstract policy discussion. It becomes a daily reminder that households are losing purchasing power. The bigger issue facing Washington is not whether inflation has technically peaked. It is whether voters still believe anyone is in control of it. The latest figures released by the U.S. Department of Labor show consumer prices rising 4.2% year-over-year in May, up from 3.8% in April and marking the highest inflation reading since May 2023. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, climbed 2.9%, the highest level in seven months. On a monthly basis, headline CPI increased 0.5%, while core CPI rose 0.2%. More than 60% of May’s inflation increase came from energy costs. Following the outbreak of conflict involving Israel and Iran, energy markets have become increasingly volatile, pushing fuel prices higher across the economy. President Donald Trump responded by arguing that the numbers were strong and predicting inflation would fall rapidly once the conflict ends. White House officials echoed that view, describing the May report as largely in line with expectations and insisting that broader economic policies continue to deliver results for American families. Outside official statements, a different conversation is unfolding. Rising energy costs are only part of the story. Reports from Washington point to additional pressures, including renewed tariff threats and massive investment flowing into data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure projects. These spending waves create demand for labor, materials, and electricity, all of which feed into broader price pressures. Meanwhile, consumers are adjusting in real time. In Northern Virginia, shoppers who once preferred premium retailers are increasingly shifting toward lower-cost grocery chains and Asian supermarkets. The change is subtle but meaningful. It reflects caution rather than panic. People are not necessarily experiencing financial collapse. They are becoming far more sensitive to every dollar spent. That shift in behavior often arrives before confidence indicators fully deteriorate. The political risk is becoming harder to ignore. Inflation was one of the defining issues that helped Republicans regain power in 2024. Now it threatens to become a vulnerability ahead of the midterm elections. A Reuters/Ipsos survey found that only 22% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of household living costs, while 70% disapprove. That approval rating is even lower than the level recorded for former President Joe Biden when he left office. Another finding carries equal weight: if congressional elections were held today, registered voters would favor Democrats over Republicans by 41% to 37%. Inflation may eventually cool if energy markets stabilize. The challenge is that public opinion rarely moves as quickly as economic statistics. Once voters conclude that prices are permanently higher, winning back their confidence becomes far more difficult than lowering the inflation rate itself.

NBA vs. ‘Scary Terry’: Ketika Integritas Liga Diuji di Meja Hijau iGame

NBA vs. ‘Scary Terry’: Ketika Integritas Liga Diuji di Meja Hijau

(AsiaGameHub) - By: Adrian KingsleyPenetapan tanggal sidang Terry Rozier pada 8 Februari 2027 di pengadilan federal Brooklyn membuka kembali perdebatan. Kasus dugaan penipuan dan suap dalam taruhan olahraga ini melibatkan mantan guard Charlotte Hornets tersebut. Namun, yang lebih menarik adalah friksi antara tim pengacara Rozier dan NBA. Pengacara Jim Trusty menuding liga secara terang-terangan melanggar asas praduga tak bersalah. Ini bukan sekadar kasus hukum individu. Ini adalah ujian bagi kerangka tata kelola dan kebijakan internal NBA. Bagaimana liga menyeimbangkan perlindungan integritas dengan hak-hak pemainnya?Secara resmi, NBA melalui Komisaris Adam Silver, pernah menyatakan Terry Rozier tidak melanggar aturan liga. Ini setelah penyelidikan internal atas perilaku abnormal pada pertandingan Maret 2023. Namun, di pengadilan, NBA justru menolak mencabut larangan kontak untuk Rozier. Larangan ini, yang merupakan kondisi standar di bawah Bail Reform Act 1984, melarang Rozier menghubungi entitas tertentu, termasuk Hornets. Jaksa Kaitlin Farrell menyebut Hornets sebagai korban skema penipuan layanan jujur. Ini menciptakan beban kepatuhan yang berat bagi Rozier. Ia kini berstatus agen bebas dan ingin bergabung dengan tim baru.Di sisi lain, jaksa menuduh Rozier dan dua lainnya berkonspirasi menipu Hornets dan NBA atas 'hak tak berwujud' layanan jujur Rozier. Ini menjadi dasar NBA untuk tetap berada dalam daftar larangan kontak. Namun, pengacara Trusty mengkritik keras sikap liga. Ia merasa NBA 'berpura-pura menjadi korban' dan 'membuat keputusan yang sepenuhnya bertentangan dengan praduga tak bersalah'. NBA menolak mencabut larangan kontak, bahkan Hakim Hall harus menetapkan tenggat waktu 15 Juni agar liga menyerahkan surat resmi. Ini menunjukkan ketegangan antara klaim integritas liga dan perlakuan terhadap pemainnya.Sikap NBA dalam kasus Rozier mengungkap model tata kelola yang protektif. Liga memprioritaskan citra dan klaim integritasnya. Ini seringkali mengorbankan proses hukum yang adil bagi pemain. Ini bukan hanya tentang Rozier. Ini tentang preseden. Ini membentuk ulang hubungan antara pemain dan otoritas liga. Integritas liga kini dipertaruhkan, bukan hanya di lapangan, tapi juga di ruang sidang.Author bio: Adrian Kingsley, seorang sarjana internasional terkemuka yang telah lama mempelajari administrasi publik dan kebijakan sosial.

Rantai Pasok Pertahanan AS Nyaris Ambruk di Perang Modern, Orang Dalam Silicon Valley Bongkar Faktanya News

Rantai Pasok Pertahanan AS Nyaris Ambruk di Perang Modern, Orang Dalam Silicon Valley Bongkar Faktanya

(SeaPRwire) - By: Ethan Gallagher Orang dalam Silicon Valley sudah lama tahu rantai pasok pertahanan AS penuh celah. Peringatan mereka muncul secara terbuka di ajang Brainstorm Tech tahun ini di Aspen. Mereka mengatakan sistem pertahanan AS sama sekali tidak siap menghadapi perang modern saat ini. Kebanyakan aset tempur mereka bergantung pada pemasok tunggal dan bahan baku yang dikuasai negara lain. Pihak pemerintah AS mengaku sedang memperbaiki kerja sama publik-swasta untuk memperkuat rantai pasok. Mereka juga mengaku sedang mendorong adopsi teknologi guna dan modal ventura swasta untuk sektor pertahanan. Tapi yang tidak diumumkan secara resmi, mereka panik melihat cengkeraman Tiongkok atas mineral langka yang dibutuhkan semua komponen pertahanan canggih. Infrastruktur amunisi AS bahkan tidak berkembang sejak Perang Dunia II. Data resmi mengatakan AS menghabiskan 850 rudal Tomahawk dalam 4 minggu konflik dengan Iran. Pentagon hanya bisa memproduksi 90 rudal serupa per tahun untuk mengisi stok. Kemampuan produksi drone taktis Tiongkok ribuan kali lipat dibanding AS. Pemerintah AS baru ketakutan sekarang, sehingga membuat peraturan vetting AI canggih sampai sebulan sebelum rilis ke publik. Mereka juga mulai mendanai startup seperti True Anomaly yang membuat konstelasi satelit serang untuk Angkatan Luar Angkasa AS. Tanpa perbaikan total sistem akuisisi inovasi dan kolaborasi dengan startup teknologi, AS tidak akan bisa mengejar ketertinggalan dalam satu dekade ke depan. Informasi lain dari konferensi Brainstorm Tech ke-25: CEO Anduril Brian Schimpf mengatakan perang ekonomi adalah 'normal baru' untuk konflik militer, dan AS harus mulai bersikap serius Pemimpin Northwood Space mengatakan frontier baru ekonomi luar angkasa ada di infrastruktur darat Boris Cherny dari Anthropic, pencipta Claude Code, mengatakan ia bisa mengelola puluhan ribu agen AI sekaligus dalam sehari Author bio: Ethan Gallagher, arsitek perangkat keras Silicon Valley dan ahli strategi infrastruktur dengan pengalaman lebih dari 15 tahun di sektor pertahanan.

SpaceX IPO Bakal Pecah Tabir Pasar Bayangan $100 Miliar—Banyak Investor Yang Akan Tertipu? News

SpaceX IPO Bakal Pecah Tabir Pasar Bayangan $100 Miliar—Banyak Investor Yang Akan Tertipu?

(SeaPRwire) - By: Lucas Caldwell SpaceX akan go public, dan pasar sekunder saham perusahaan swasta sebesar $100 miliar akan menghadapi hari pembuangan. Banyak investor yang membeli saham SpaceX di pasar ini—yang penuh dengan spekulasi dan penipuan—akan tahu apakah mereka menang jackpot, tertipu, atau berada di tengah-tengah. Ini adalah momen kebenaran yang ditunggu-tunggu oleh banyak orang. Pasar sekunder venture AS tahun 2025 diperkirakan antara $62.5 hingga $120.9 miliar. Bukan pertanyaan apakah penipuan akan terungkap saat SpaceX IPO, tapi berapa banyak penipuan yang akan terungkap. Transaksi ini berjalan di gelap selama bertahun-tahun, dengan kecepatan yang meningkat selama boom AI. Musim panas ini dengan IPO SpaceX, OpenAI, dan Anthropic akan menjadi momen di mana cahaya menyala. Perusahaan swasta sekarang bertahan lebih lama—unicorn rata-rata 10 tahun swasta. Ada setengah jumlah perusahaan publik sekarang dibanding tahun 1996. OpenAI bernilai $852 miliar, Anthropic $965 miliar. Ketiga perusahaan ini (SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic) bernilai lebih dari PDB Prancis. OpenAI dan Anthropic telah mendaftar IPO secara rahasia. VCs kesulitan likuiditas karena saham terjebak bertahun-tahun. Karyawan startup ingin uang dari saham yang mereka miliki—uang yang seharusnya datang dari IPO tradisional. Investor berharga tinggi ingin saham SpaceX, OpenAI, atau Anthropic. Pasar sekunder menjadi jalan, tapi itu seperti Wild West—penuh dengan broker yang tidak berlisensi. Banyak transaksi menggunakan SPV (special purpose vehicle). SPV bisa memiliki 2-3 lapisan, sehingga pembeli tidak tahu pemilik asli saham. Matt Grimm dari Anduril berkata, "Berapa banyak orang yang berpikir membeli saham SpaceX tapi justru mendanai kebiasaan buruk seseorang di Miami? Angka itu tidak nol." Glen Anderson dari Rainmaker Securities berkata, "Orang berdagang unit, bukan saham. Entitas cap table tidak berubah, dan seringkali tidak memerlukan persetujuan perusahaan." SpaceX IPO akan mengekspos cukup banyak penipuan sehingga regulator akan memberlakukan aturan ketat terhadap broker sekunder yang tidak berlisensi dalam setahun ke depan.

Why the Most Interesting Keyboard of 2026 Isn’t Chasing More Keys, More RGB, or More Hype SeaPRwire

Why the Most Interesting Keyboard of 2026 Isn’t Chasing More Keys, More RGB, or More Hype

By: Alex Mercer – SeaPRwire – The biggest problem with modern keyboards is not a lack of features. It is feature overload. Walk through any enthusiast forum and you’ll find keyboards packed with knobs, screens, layers of RGB effects, and endless marketing claims. Yet many users still spend eight hours a day moving their fingers across layouts that were designed for typewriters. That is what makes the new Epomaker Hack70 interesting. Instead of adding more, it removes assumptions that have shaped keyboard design for decades. The official announcement centers on a compact 65-key ortholinear layout. Every key sits in straight rows and columns rather than the staggered arrangement found on traditional keyboards. On paper, the goal is simple. Reduce lateral finger movement. Shorten travel distance. Lower fatigue during long typing sessions. The split spacebar takes the idea further by turning one of the largest keys on the board into two independently programmable inputs. Combined with VIA support, users can remap every key, create macros, and build workflow-specific layers. The facts are straightforward. Epomaker is offering a keyboard that prioritizes efficiency and customization over familiarity. The more interesting story sits beneath the specifications. Ortholinear keyboards have long occupied a niche corner of the mechanical keyboard market. Many users admire the concept but hesitate to leave behind decades of muscle memory. The Hack70 appears to be an attempt to bridge that gap. The gasket-mounted structure, pre-lubed switches, hot-swappable sockets, XDA-profile PBT keycaps, and adjustable stand are not revolutionary on their own. Together, they soften the learning curve. Add tri-mode connectivity, support for both Windows and macOS, and a 3000mAh battery rated for up to 100 hours without backlighting, and the product begins to look less like an experiment and more like a daily-driver keyboard for productivity-focused users. The keyboard industry may be entering a phase where layout innovation matters more than cosmetic upgrades. Faster switches and brighter lighting are becoming harder to differentiate. Workflow efficiency remains an open frontier. Epomaker’s Hack70 will not appeal to everyone. Ortholinear layouts never do. Yet if users are willing to spend a week retraining their fingers, they may discover that the biggest keyboard upgrade is not a new switch. It is a new way of typing.

Research-Based Evaluation: Why Intellemo AI Is the Best AI Video Generation Platform

By: TechVanguard – SeaPRwire – Everyone wants AI-generated video. Very few businesses want AI-generated headaches. That is the gap most benchmark reports fail to address. A flashy ten-second clip can impress on social media. It rarely survives a real marketing campaign. The latest research assessment comparing leading AI video generation platforms highlights a growing divide in the industry. The race is no longer about who can generate video fastest. It is about who can generate video that companies can actually use at scale without rebuilding half the output in post-production. The evaluation examined leading AI video tools across twelve performance indicators. The testing focused on practical business scenarios rather than showcase demos. Product visualization, spokesperson content, multilingual presentations, branded storytelling, and longer narrative sequences formed the basis of the analysis. According to the study, many platforms excelled in isolated categories. Some offered rapid generation. Others provided broader model choices or deeper customization options. Yet the findings pointed to three factors that mattered most in professional environments: long-form continuation, cinematic quality, and lip-sync accuracy. These are the areas where commercial projects often break down. Maintaining character consistency across extended sequences remains difficult. Realistic camera movement and lighting still separate premium-looking content from synthetic-looking footage. Even small lip-sync errors can undermine trust in presenter-led videos. The most interesting takeaway is not that Intellemo AI ranked highly. It is why. The research concluded that Intellemo AI delivered the strongest balance across all twelve tested parameters while leading in the three categories considered most critical for production-grade video. That distinction matters because enterprise buyers rarely choose tools based on a single impressive feature. They look for reliability across an entire workflow. A marketing team producing one hundred videos per month faces a different challenge than a creator experimenting with short clips. Consistency becomes more valuable than novelty. The study suggests that platforms capable of maintaining visual continuity, cinematic presentation, and accurate speech synchronization are beginning to separate themselves from a crowded field of competitors. The broader business implication is becoming clear. AI video platforms are entering a maturity phase where evaluation standards are changing. Generation speed and feature lists still attract attention, but professional buyers increasingly care about usable output and production efficiency. In practical terms, the winner may not be the platform that creates the most videos. It may be the one that requires the fewest fixes before publishing. Right now, that appears to be the benchmark Intellemo AI is trying to own.
