Zurich, May 27, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi Energy, a global leader in electrification, and Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), a leading manufacturer of construction equipment machinery, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on developing end-to-end approaches that support the deployment of zero-emission construction sites. The collaboration brings together electric construction equipment with clean power supply, energy management, and system integration capabilities to help address one of the construction industry’s most pressing challenges: decarbonization.Customer and investor demand for lower‑emission; more productive construction operations is reshaping the industry. At the same time, regulatory and permitting frameworks increasingly require projects to address emissions and environmental performance throughout the planning and approval process. While electrification, automation, and efficient resource and asset planning offer clear pathways to reduce emissions, transitioning from individual electric machines to fully functioning zero‑emission construction sites requires a coordinated ecosystem of solutions and effective system integration across equipment, power infrastructure, and energy management systems.Under the agreement, Volvo CE and Hitachi Energy will work on a non-exclusive basis to assess potential technical and commercial concepts supporting zero-emission construction and manufacturing operations, with a focus on system integration and site-level operational execution. The scope includes joint work on business models, go‑to‑market approaches, and aftermarket and support considerations, supported by joint teams from both companies.“Strategic partnerships such as this with Hitachi Energy are key to accelerating the transition to zero-emission construction,” said Melker Jernberg, President of Volvo CE. “By combining complementary expertise and delivering a complete, integrated solution, we are giving customers the confidence, security, and peace of mind they need to adopt emission-free operations today.” “Electrification is a game changer in the decarbonization puzzle, particularly for hard‑to‑abate environments such as construction sites,” said Niklas Persson, CEO of Grid Integration at Hitachi Energy. “As construction operations become more electric and more complex, success depends less on individual technologies and more on system‑level integration, strong execution, and close collaboration with partners like Volvo CE who share our ambition to enable zero‑emission construction at scale.”The initial focus is business and go‑to‑market‑oriented, emphasizing practical, plug‑and‑play approaches to help customers simplify the transition to zero‑emission construction sites. At the same time, the agreement establishes a foundation for deeper technical engagement over time, with the potential to explore more advanced capabilities such as connected machines, digital integration, and expanded service offerings.Volvo CE has long been at the forefront of the construction industry’s move toward electrification and digitalization, while Hitachi Energy brings deep expertise in power systems, energy management, and system integration.

HONG KONG, May 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Driven by news of the accelerated IPO process of Unitree Robotics, the share price of Shoucheng Holdings (00697.HK) has been notably active recently. On the evening of May 25, the official website of the Shanghai Stock Exchange disclosed that Unitree Robotics' STAR Market IPO application will be reviewed by the listing committee on June 1, 2026. Following the news, Shoucheng Holdings rose by more than 5% intraday on the next trading day, reaching a high of HK$1.84, indicating that market attention toward the revaluation of the company's robotics investment value continues to rise.Unitree Robotics' STAR Market IPO had previously been accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange. According to its prospectus, the company plans to raise RMB4.202 billion. As a representative domestic enterprise in embodied intelligence and humanoid robotics, Unitree Robotics has entered a critical stage in its capitalization process. This is expected to further raise capital-market attention toward the robotics sector and provide a clearer public-market pricing reference for related industrial-chain assets.For Shoucheng Holdings, the significance of Unitree Robotics' IPO lies not only in the change in equity value of a single project, but also in the fact that the company's robotics investment layout is beginning to enter a stage of public-market validation. According to Unitree Robotics' prospectus, Shoucheng Holdings participated in the investment in Unitree Robotics through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund. The fund held approximately 3.8262% of Unitree Robotics before the offering and approximately 3.44% after the offering. Based on this valuation, the corresponding value of this equity interest is estimated at around RMB1.446 billion. As Unitree Robotics' listing process continues to advance, the market visibility of Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment assets is expected to increase accordingly.From a valuation perspective, Unitree Robotics' IPO is expected to become an important catalyst for the revaluation of Shoucheng Holdings' robotics assets. Compared with unlisted equity interests, which mainly rely on primary-market financing valuations, the market capitalization performance of listed companies is easier for the market to observe, compare and price. If Unitree Robotics successfully lists on the capital market, its public-market valuation will provide a reference for related assets such as embodied intelligence and humanoid robotics, and will also help the market reassess the value of robotics assets held by Shoucheng Holdings through its sector-focused investment funds.More importantly, Unitree Robotics is not the only case within Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment portfolio. According to company disclosures, through the sector-focused investment funds it manages, Shoucheng Holdings has made cumulative investments of more than RMB2 billion across the broader robotics ecosystem, covering over 20 companies. These include Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, Deep Robotics, Booster Robotics and Galaxea AI, among other projects. Its layout spans multiple segments, including robot bodies, embodied intelligence, aerial robotics, key components and application scenarios. As portfolio companies such as Unitree Robotics and Deep Robotics continue to advance their listing processes, Shoucheng Holdings’ earlier deployment across the robotics value chain is transitioning from the capital deployment phase to the value realization phase.From the perspective of the Hong Kong stock market, Shoucheng Holdings' scarcity value has therefore increased further. At present, there are not many Hong Kong-listed companies that can directly reflect the mainland humanoid robotics and embodied intelligence industrial chain. By participating in investments in leading companies such as Unitree Robotics through sector-focused investment funds, Shoucheng Holdings has developed a well-defined proxy exposure to the robotics sector. Against the backdrop of relatively scarce technology growth assets in the Hong Kong market and sustained enthusiasm for the robotics theme, the company's robotics industrial investment layout is expected to attract greater market attention.Overall, Unitree Robotics' IPO is an important validation milestone for Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment strategy. As the listing process continues to advance, related public-market valuations are expected to provide a clearer pricing reference for Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics assets and further strengthen its proxy value within the Hong Kong robotics concept segment. For investors, the market’s understanding of Shoucheng Holdings’ value may also extend from traditional asset operations toward a comprehensive valuation framework of "infrastructure assets + sector-focused funds + robotics investments", while the revaluation theme for the company’s robotics assets is becoming increasingly clear.

SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Navigating financial surprises in a fast-paced city like Singapore requires adaptability and access to the right tools. Whether you are dealing with an urgent medical bill, a sudden home repair that requires immediate funding, quick cash loans can provide the necessary liquidity.However, borrowing money should never be a hasty decision. Understanding both the benefits and the potential risks is essential for maintaining long-term financial stability. Below is a detailed breakdown of what you should consider before applying for a quick cash loan.Why choose quick cash loans?Curious about the benefits of cash loans? Explore the advantages below.Rapid access to fundsThe primary benefit of quick cash loans is speed. Traditional term loans can sometimes take days or even weeks to process. In contrast, many modern credit lines may offer faster approval and quicker fund transfers via digital banking platforms. This is crucial when you face an emergency, such as preventing late-payment penalties or urgent payment needs.Flexible borrowingUnlike fixed-term loans, where you receive a lump sum and pay interest on the whole amount, many quick cash loans operate as revolving credit lines. You only pay interest on the amount you actually withdraw. For example, if you have a credit limit of SGD 10,000 but only use SGD 2,000 to replace a broken refrigerator, you only get charged interest on that SGD 2,000 until it is paid off. This may offer flexibility in managing small, unpredictable gaps in your cash flow.Minimal documentationIn Singapore, the application process for quick cash loans has become more streamlined. Banks can now retrieve your income and employment data automatically, where available. This removes the need for physical paperwork and branch visits. For busy professionals, this convenience is a major advantage that saves time and reduces the stress of borrowing.Bridging short-term gapsQuick cash loans can be used for acquiring temporary funding. If you expect a work bonus or a tax refund next month and have considered your repayment obligations but require short-term cash, these loans may allow you to access funds more quickly without disrupting your savings plan. You can access the funds when needed and clear the balance once your expected income is received.Risks of quick cash loansTake a closer look at some of the risks associated with quick loans.Higher interest rates compared to long-term loansBecause quick cash loans offer speed and convenience without collateral, they often come with higher interest rates than secured loans like mortgages or car loans. If you do not have a clear repayment plan, interest can accumulate over time. It is important to compare the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) to understand the true cost of borrowing before you commit.Risk of overspendingThe ease of access has both risks and benefits. When funds are available instantly, it can be tempting to use them for non-essential lifestyle choices, such as luxury shopping or expensive holidays. This can lead to overspending, where you begin to rely on credit for routine costs rather than staying within your monthly salary.Impact on your credit scoreEvery time you apply for a loan or a credit line, a formal credit check is recorded with Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS). Multiple applications in a short window may negatively affect your credit assessment with lenders. Furthermore, if you fail to make even the minimum monthly payments on your quick cash loans, your credit score may drop. This could make it harder for you to get a home loan or other essential credit in the future.Potential hidden feesBeyond the interest rate, some facilities come with annual fees, processing fees, or late payment charges. Some lenders may charge a fee of SGD 100 or more just for missing a payment deadline by one day. You must read the fine print to ensure that the quick solution does not become a more expensive burden due to overlooked charges.How to use quick cash loans responsibly?To make the most of quick cash loans without falling into debt, follow these simple guidelines:Borrow only what you need: Just because your approved limit is high doesn't mean you should use all of it. Withdraw only the specific amount required for your emergency.Have a clear repayment strategy: Before you choose to withdraw, figure out your repayment options.Use for emergencies, not luxuries: Keep your credit line as an emergency backup for when you really need it. Avoid using it for lifestyle expenses.Monitor your balance: Regularly check your banking app to see how much you owe and when your next payment is due. Staying informed prevents late fees and high interest.Final thoughtsQuick cash loans can be a useful financial tool that provides flexibility, when used prudently. They allow you to handle life's surprises without the need to ask friends for help or sell your long-term investments. However, the responsibility lies with you to use this tool with discipline. By weighing the pros and cons carefully, you can ensure that your choice supports your financial goals rather than hindering them.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The European Union is strengthening its engagement with Singapore as a regional hub for advanced food manufacturing and nutrition innovation. This comes as demand for functional dairy ingredients accelerates across Southeast Asia. Led by Bord Bia – The Irish Food Board, the initiative is part of the “European Dairy: Ireland, Where Nature Meets Science” campaign, a €3.2 million investment co-funded by the European Union to strengthen Asia’s nutrition pipeline and foster long-term trade partnerships. The campaign showcases sustainable farming and scientific research behind European dairy production. Singapore is a Strategic Gateway for Functional Nutrition in AsiaSingapore is globally recognised as a hub for innovation, positioned at the heart of Southeast Asia’s food ecosystem, and has an important role in regional product development and distribution. Manufacturers across ASEAN are increasingly seeking high-quality science-backed ingredients, as demand for targeted life-stage nutrition, preventative health products and functional foods is increasing. This is largely driven by the fact that Southeast Asia’s population is growing and aging rapidly, particularly in Singapore, leading to increased demand for functional foods to support healthy aging and overall wellbeing. Given limited domestic dairy production in Singapore, F&B innovators and manufacturers are driven to rely on imports and seek trusted international partners.Ms. Lorna Allen, South East Market Manager of Bord Bia, mentioned, “Singapore is a key gateway for European dairy engagement in Southeast Asia, particularly as demand for functional and science-backed nutrition continues to grow. Ireland has exported €276 million value of dairy products to Southeast Asia in 2025, a y-o-y increase of 16.4%. Through the EU-funded campaign, Bord Bia is supporting closer collaboration between European dairy producers from Ireland and regional food and nutrition innovators.”Dr Kalpana Bhaskaran, Deputy Director, industry partnerships and Head, Glycemic Index Research Unit at Temasek Polytechnic, commented, “Dairy ingredients play a vital role across the life course. With protein‑fortified and functional dairy products gaining strong momentum, the opportunity to improve population health through evidence‑based dairy innovation has never been greater.”A Science-Led Advantage Supporting Industry Needs European dairy from Ireland combines a natural grass-fed, pasture-based system with the support of advanced scientific research. This combination of natural production methods and scientific validation allows European dairy to meet the performance and quality requirements of manufacturers across Asia.Dr. André Brodkorb, Senior Researcher, Teagasc Food Research Centre Moorepark, said, “Irish grass‑fed milk is scientifically proven to deliver superior nutritional benefits, with Teagasc research showing dairy cows who operate on an Irish grass-fed system, produced milk with higher percentages of omega-3 and conjugated linoleic (CLA) fatty acids compared to cows fed medium and low proportions of grass.”European Dairy Powders at FHA Singapore 2026Bord Bia brought leading European dairy suppliers from Ireland to Food & Hospitality Asia (FHA) in Singapore last April. Industry professionals attending FHA Singapore were invited to explore partnership opportunities and discover how European dairy from Ireland is supporting the next generation of nutrition solutions in Asia. Bord Bia focused on: Functional dairy ingredients designed for sports nutrition, healthy ageing, life-stage nutrition, and foodservice.Solutions that support product innovation for Asian consumers.Opportunities to connect directly with suppliers for sourcing and collaboration.Strengthening Collaboration Across the RegionAs part of the European Union’s engagement in Singapore, Bord Bia is also facilitating a closed-door industry session bringing together stakeholders from research, development, and manufacturing. This reflects ongoing collaboration between European dairy stakeholders and regional partners, including organisations such as Temasek and Teagasc, to support innovation and knowledge exchange in functional nutrition.

TOKYO, May 27, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), in partnership with New York University (NYU), has evaluated the broader economic impacts of a flood protection project implemented on the Island of Manhattan in New York City. This was achieved by constructing value analysis models for five themes: transportation infrastructure, housing, mental health, and others. The findings showed that losses of up to approximately 800 million US dollars could potentially be avoided.The Rockaway Peninsula, the focus of this evaluationThis evaluation was conducted as part of the "Capstone Program" at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, which helps to solve real-world challenges through the intersection of technology and business. NEC joined the program in September 2025 under the theme "Digital Adaptation Finance for Urban Resilience."Based on this evaluation, NEC and NYU have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote further studies in urban disaster prevention, resilience, and advanced technology fields, thereby deepening their initiatives aimed at resolving urban and societal vulnerabilities.In recent years, the effects of climate change have increased demand for stronger corporate activities and urban resilience to address these challenges. However, initiatives aimed at enhancing resilience, particularly projects whose benefits are difficult to quantify, often face issues such as difficulties in calculating ROI (Return on Investment), making investment decisions, and securing financing for project development.To address this, NEC is utilizing its expertise in value chain modeling and digital technologies to quantitatively demonstrate the economic impact in areas where outcomes are traditionally difficult to measure, such as disaster preparedness, preventive maintenance, sustainability, and BCP (Business Continuity Planning). This effort aims to support decision-making and facilitate financing.Background of the EvaluationFollowing the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, which resulted in cascading economic losses across New York City, awareness of the risks posed by coastal and inland flooding to the urban economy and local communities has grown significantly. Along the Rockaway Peninsula, which was the focus of this evaluation, projects such as dune construction, shoreline reinforcement, and seawall development have been underway since 2020 under the Greater Rockaway Resilience Plan. This evaluation was conducted to demonstrate a decision-making framework and diverse funding approaches for projects that generate wide ranging benefits, but whose impacts are often difficult to quantify, by assessing the economic impacts arising from this series of initiatives.In this evaluation, a value chain diagram was created to visualize the chain of diverse benefits generated by projects implemented under the Greater Rockaway Resilience Plan. Analysis models were constructed for five of the most impactful themes. Economic impacts were calculated based on data from past hurricanes and their damages, as well as future damage projections derived from flood risk scenarios.Specifically, for themes such as protecting tourism resources by preventing beach erosion, reducing the risk of damage to transportation infrastructure and housing, and mitigating mental health impacts on residents, spatial and economic data (e.g., land use, taxation, demographics, maps) were integrated with disaster-related information (e.g., flood hazards, flood damage scenarios) and analyzed using Geographic Information Systems. By quantifying and visualizing where floods would occur, who would be affected, and the cascading impacts that would follow, it became possible to convert avoided damages, new value created, and potential losses into monetary terms. (Left) Analysis Overview: Using Geographic Information Systems and other tools to analyze information related to each theme(Right) Analysis examples by theme: Showing that 88% of public housing units are at risk of inundation without flood countermeasuresIn addition, the validity of the estimated results was verified through comparisons with past cases and existing research. Interviews were also conducted with local stakeholders and residents regarding changes before and after the flood protection project. Furthermore, input was sought from financial institutions from the perspective of project evaluation in impact finance and investment practices. Through these practical and multifaceted assessments, the effects of the project have been demonstrated.Example Analysis Result: Economic benefits of avoiding relocation or rebuilding due to inundationRoles of NEC and NYUNEC: Project design, identification of social challenges from a business perspective, and implementation support from both practical and societal perspectives.NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Center for Urban Science and Progress: Project design, provision of frameworks (Capstone Program), field expertise, networks, and technical knowledge, student guidance, risk analysis, cascading damage modeling of physical hazards and urban infrastructure, decision-making support, and compilation of results.Future OutlookBased on the MOU, both parties will explore opportunities for social implementation of the findings, including engagement with financial institutions on the potential for new financing methods enabled by the quantification of economic impacts using technologies such as satellite image analysis, AI, and remote sensing.Comments from both parties are as follows:"’Where, to whom, and how much damage cascades’ is the foundational question of CERA Lab. In this study, we spatially integrated flood hazard data and socioeconomic data spanning transportation, housing, and mental health in New York City's Rockaway Peninsula, and quantified the multifaceted benefits generated by disaster prevention investments. These benefits have historically been invisible, resulting in their omission from investment decisions. This research provides a framework to fill that gap. Visualizing these invisible benefits has the power to drive policy and funding decisions, not just academic research. Through my work on the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) I engage daily with the process by which climate change impact assessments are reflected in urban policy. This research was also designed from that perspective, and I find it highly significant that, through collaboration with NEC, we were able to demonstrate how an academic framework can expand the possibilities of real-world project evaluation and funding."Yuki Miura Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), NYU Tandon School of EngineeringChair of Climate, Energy, and Risk Analytics Lab (CERA Lab)Member of New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC)"The economic damages associated with climate change are, in fact, most pronounced in developed countries. While strengthening resilience is urgent, public and private sectors efforts often remain fragmented, and for individual projects, ROI is often unclear, making decision-making and fundraising difficult. This research presents a basic framework for evaluating the economic impact of projects with ambiguous effects and suggests the potential for expanding future funding methods. We are pleased to have been able to share our findings in collaboration with NYU, through a project focused on the global city of New York."Ryutaro Adachi, Executive Professional, GX Business Development Division, NEC CorporationAbout NECThe NEC Group leverages technology to create social value and promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

HONG KONG, May 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Institute of Directors (HKIoD) has officially announced that nominations are now open for the HKIoD Awards for Director Excellence 2026. This flagship award programme continues to serve as a cornerstone for promoting outstanding corporate governance and director professionalism across Hong Kong.This year's Awards theme, Navigating Through Disruptive Forces in Challenging Times, underscores the resilience required by modern boards to steer their organisations steadily through rapid digital transformations, macroeconomic shifts, and evolving stakeholder expectations.In its 26th edition, HKIoD will once again present its signature accolades across three critical governance pillars: the Directors of the Year Award, the Climate Governance Award, and the Social Impact Award. These honours go beyond simple recognition; they celebrate visionary leaders who deeply embed corporate governance, climate governance, and social sustainability in the core of their business frameworks.Mr Richard Tsang, Chairman of HKIoD, during his keynote address, stated: "As fellow directors, we serve as stewards of corporate governance, tasked with balancing the interests of all stakeholders. This year’s theme perfectly captures the prevailing uncertainties we face today—times are undeniably tough, yet we continue to forge ahead with resolve. Through this impactful initiative, we remain deeply committed to honouring role models, fostering peer learning, and raising the overall standard of corporate governance in Hong Kong."Mr Jonathan Shea, CEO of HKIoD, introduced the key highlights and arrangements for the 2026 project cycle and encouraged eligible candidates to submit their nominations well ahead of the deadline.Insights from Distinguished Past AwardeesThe briefing session featured an insightful panel discussion, titled "Distinguished Directors' Insights", moderated by Mr Vincent Chan (Council Member & Chairman of the Awards Organising Committee). Three distinguished past awardees shared their experiences on how rigorous board oversight translates into organisational resilience:- Mr Alvin Lee (Executive Director, FSE Lifestyle Services Limited) highlighted the critical need for forward-looking governance in the face of technological shifts.

Efforts will also continue toward social implementation of data-driven agriculture both in Japan and internationally, with the aim of achieving sustainable agriculture.TOKYO, Japan, May 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akira Shimada; hereinafter “NTT”), Kubota Corporation (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka; President and Representative Director, CEO: Shingo Hanada; hereinafter “Kubota”), and NTT DOCOMO, INC. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshiaki Maeda; hereinafter “DOCOMO”), conducted a joint demonstration experiment (hereinafter, “the demonstration”) to stabilize communications and ensure continuous video transmission for the remote operation and remote monitoring of robotic agricultural machinery in mountainous areas. In the demonstration, optimal control was applied to video transmission required for robotic agricultural machinery operation by combining mobile and satellite communications, together with video control technology. As a result, visibility of transmitted video was maintained even under fluctuating communication conditions, demonstrating the effectiveness of the technology as a communications infrastructure supporting remote operation and monitoring of robotic agricultural machinery.This technology is scheduled to be exhibited by NTT at Tsukuba Forum 2026*1, to be held from May 27-28, 2026.BackgroundAchieving sustainable agriculture in the years ahead requires the promotion of automated farming operations to address labor shortages, as well as efficient farm management utilizing data. In Japan, the government is also advancing institutional development toward regulatory reform that would allow robotic agricultural machinery to operate on public roads under conditions ensuring safety through remote monitoring.To date, NTT and Kubota have engaged in research, development, and service creation utilizing ICT to support innovation for agricultural producers, including visualization of farm management, improved operational efficiency and automation, and the realization of high-quality agriculture.*2However, in hilly and mountainous regions, which account for approximately 40% of Japan's cultivated land area, fluctuations in mobile communication quality are likely to occur due to terrain and physical obstructions. As a result, delays and disconnections may occur in communications for robotic agricultural machinery operating within and between fields. Since unstable communications directly affect safety in the remote operation and monitoring of robotic agricultural machinery, stable transmission of required video and data remains a key challenge for practical implementation.Details of the InitiativeIn the demonstration, multipath control using multiple mobile and satellite communication links was applied according to communication conditions. This confirmed that stable communications could be maintained by supplementing mobile communication links with satellite communication links in areas such as mountainous farmland, where mobile network quality tends to deteriorate within and between fields.In addition, video control technology was applied to automatically adjust video compression according to communication conditions while prioritizing image quality in critical areas, such as the travel path and crops visible in the video feed. This enabled both stable video transmission and sufficient visibility during remote operation and monitoring.Figure 1. Future vision for communication and video control in the remote operation and monitoring of robotic agricultural machineryKey Technologies1) Technology combining mobile and satellite communication linksOptimal control combining mobile and satellite communication links was achieved through multi-link control technology based on the communication quality of each link. By enabling mobile and satellite communication links to complement each other, stable communications can be maintained even in mountainous areas.2) Video control technology that compresses video while preserving quality in critical areasBased on predicted communication bandwidth, stable video transmission was achieved by maintaining video quality in critical areas, such as the travel path of robotic agricultural machinery, while compressing video data in non-critical areas.Figure 2.

SINGAPORE, May 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sale seasons in Singapore, such as the Great Singapore Sale or the year-end 12.12 events, offer significant opportunities to save on high-ticket items. However, the pressure of flash deals and limited-time offers can easily lead to impulsive overspending. Managing these large purchases responsibly requires disciplined planning and using financial tools like quick loans to maintain your long-term stability.Selecting a flexible credit line or quick loans may provide access to funds that can be considered as part of managing expenses during sale periods. This approach may help you with short-term cash flow management while meeting daily expenses. The following strategies focus on how to navigate major sale events while keeping your financial health intact.Create a prioritised shopping listBefore the sales begin, you should identify what you truly need versus what you simply want. A common mistake is falling into the trap of discount illusion, where buying a discounted item you do not actually need is viewed as a saving when in reality, it is an unnecessary expense.List your intended large-scale purchases in a spreadsheet, noting their original prices and the stores that sell them. Prioritise these items based on their utility and longevity, such as essential home appliances or quality electronics. This preparation allows you to act decisively on genuine deals while ignoring filler items that only serve to drain your budget.Set a hard budget capThe excitement of a sale can often cloud your financial judgment, leading to multiple impulsive purchases, thus making you lose track of your total expenses. To avoid this, determine a realistic total amount you are willing to spend across the entire sale season.If your high-priority items exceed your current cash in hand, you might consider using quick loans to bridge the gap. A flexible credit line can offer immediate access to funds, but you must ensure the total loan amount fits within your calculated repayment capacity. Establishing this limit early may help you not to fall short of funds for the remainder of the month due to a single weekend of shopping.Use flexible financing to control cash flowLarge purchases often require significant upfront cash that can temporarily destabilise your monthly balance. In such cases, quick loans or a personal line of credit can serve as a valuable tool for managing short-term cash flow.Some credit lines may offer promotional interest rates of up to 0% interest for several months, subject to applicable terms and conditions. This flexibility allows you to secure the sale price of a large item immediately while spreading the cost over a few months. Repaying the balance quickly may help you benefit from the sale discount without losing those savings to interest charges.Think twice before you payFlash sales and discount banners are designed to trigger a fear of missing out, thus forcing you to act in haste. One of the effective ways to counteract this is the 24-hour rule: wait a full day before proceeding to purchase any non-essential large item.Giving yourself this time allows the initial emotional impulse to fade, helping you decide if the item truly adds value to your life. If the deal is still available and fits your budget the next day, you can proceed with confidence. This simple pause can save you a lot of funds and from buyer's remorse in the foreseeable future.Focus on quality and long-term valueA low price tag does not always equal a good deal if the product requires frequent repairs or expensive maintenance. When shopping for large items during a sale, prioritise quality over quantity by researching product reviews and warranties.Investing in a durable, high-quality appliance, even at a slightly higher sale price, often costs less in the long run than a cheaper, lower-quality alternative. Additionally, always check return policies before purchasing, as being stuck with a non-returnable faulty item can turn a temporary bargain into a long-term loss.Final thoughtsManaging large purchases during Singapore's sale seasons is about making informed decisions that align with your financial goals. By using a structured plan and leveraging tools like quick loans responsibly, you can enjoy the full benefits of a sale without lingering financial distress.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

TOKYO, Japan, May 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. (“DOCOMO”) and NEC Corporation (“NEC”), in collaboration with NTT, Inc. (“NTT”), have developed a technology (the “Technology”) that enables multiple vehicles traveling at high speed to simultaneously maintain stable communications using high-capacity millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications in the 40 GHz band, which is expected to be leveraged in the 6G era. The Technology combines distributed MIMO*1, in which multiple antennas are distributed and deployed from a base station, with a technique that pre-compensates the transmit frequency and transmit timing of signals.In a demonstration trial conducted in March 2026 at a full-scale tunnel test facility installed at Japan's National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, multiple vehicles equipped with mobile terminals traveling at high speed in opposite lanes maintained stable, high throughput, achieving approximately a 1.3x improvement in average throughput compared to the conventional method. This result represents a major step toward social implementation of 6G-related technologies—including implementation in new base stations—such as autonomous driving utilizing mmWave and improved in-vehicle user experiences.Video of the demonstration:BackgroundWhen communicating in high-frequency bands such as mmWave in high-mobility environments (e.g., automobiles and trains traveling at high speed), frequent base station switching occurs, causing abrupt changes in Doppler frequency*2 and propagation delay, which degrades communication quality. DOCOMO, NEC, and NTT have been working to address this challenge, and in March 2025 successfully demonstrated*3 a technology that stabilizes communication quality for a single vehicle traveling at high speed by compensating the transmit frequency and transmit timing on the base station side.In the present demonstration, the March 2025 technology was further advanced to develop a method that suppresses communication-quality degradation for multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles even under complex conditions, where multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles traveling at high speed in opposite lanes communicate simultaneously.Key Features of the TechnologyUsing uplink reference signals transmitted from each mobile-terminal-equipped vehicle, the Technology pre-estimates, for each base-station antenna, the appropriate transmit frequency and transmit timing for each vehicle. It then pre-compensates each vehicle-specific signal and then combines (multiplexes) the signals for transmission. This eliminates differences in received frequency and received timing that occur during antenna switching for multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles simultaneously, thereby stabilizing high-capacity mmWave communications for multiple vehicles.Figure 1. Transmit frequency and transmit timing pre-compensation technology for multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehiclesDemonstration Trial and ResultsFrom March 26 to 27, 2026, DOCOMO, NEC, and NTT conducted a demonstration trial of the Technology at the full-scale tunnel test facility at NILIM. To emulate a high-mobility environment, three distributed antennas of a base station were installed along one side of a road at 150-meter intervals. A downlink transmission experiment was then conducted with two mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles traveling at 60 km/h in opposite lanes.Under more complex conditions than the March 2025 demonstration, the conventional method (in which only the terminal side compensates received frequency and received timing) was compared with the proposed Technology (which additionally applies per-vehicle pre-compensation on the base-station side before combining and transmitting the signals). The comparison used the combined (sum) throughput of the two mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles.To validate performance in a more complex radio propagation environment, the experiment was conducted inside a tunnel, where radio waves reflect and antenna switching occurs frequently while driving. When only the conventional method was applied, the combined throughput dropped significantly during antenna switching—from 550 Mbps to approximately 110 Mbps—and the average throughput over 30 seconds of driving was approximately 430 Mbps. In contrast, when the Technology was applied, throughput degradation during antenna switching was suppressed, maintaining a stable throughput of at least 380 Mbps, and the average throughput improved to 560 Mbps, representing an approximate 1.3x increase over the conventional method. In addition, the 5th-percentile throughput value in the cumulative distribution function (CDF) improved from 270 Mbps (conventional) to 480 Mbps (proposed), an approximate 1.8x increase.Figure 2. Demonstration trial imageFigure 3. Experimental result (1): Combined throughput comparisonbetween the conventional method and the proposed TechnologyFigure 4. Experimental result (2): CDF of combined throughput comparison between the conventional method and the proposed TechnologyFuture DevelopmentThis demonstration confirmed that high-capacity and stable communications using mmWave distributed MIMO are possible even in high-mobility environments where multiple automobiles and trains travel at high speed, representing a major step toward real-world deployment. With the success of this demonstration, the use of mmWave communications is expected in applications such as immersive services including in-vehicle XR (extended reality), real-time translation and guidance leveraging generative AI, and sensor-data coordination for cooperative autonomous driving.Going forward, DOCOMO, NEC, and NTT will conduct further trials assuming various real-world environments such as high-speed railways, conventional railways, and arterial roads, and will contribute to realizing stable high-capacity communications in the 6G era.The trial and its results will be exhibited at Wireless Japan × Wireless Technology Park (WTP) 2026*4 (May 27-29, 2026, Tokyo Big Sight, West 3 & 4 Hall; XG Mobile Promotion Forum exhibit area) and Tsukuba Forum 2026*5 (May 27-28, 2026, NTT Tsukuba R&D Center, R-1 Area; NTT Exhibits).*1 Distributed MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) :A technology in which a large number of antennas are distributed from a single base station within an area for MIMO transmission between each antenna and a mobile terminal within the area.*2 Doppler Frequency: A frequency shift that occurs when a radio transmitter is moving.

KAWASAKI, Japan, May 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited today announced the development of a self-evolving multi-AI agent technology[1] that enables multiple AI agents to perform tasks as a team, continuously and safely learning from daily execution results, human feedback, policy revisions, and specification changes.In corporate operations, legal revisions, system changes, specification updates, and on-site rule modifications occur continuously. In business operations involving vast amounts of documents and design specifications, determining which information to reference, which judgment criteria to prioritize, and the extent of impact to confirm when responding to business needs has traditionally relied on the experience and tacit knowledge of skilled professionals. In addition, from a system perspective, continuous adjustments by experts were necessary to reflect changes in prompts, search methods, evaluation criteria, and operational rules.While conventional AI agents demonstrate high processing capabilities for given instructions, they have found it difficult to independently analyze reasons for failure and safely incorporate them into subsequent operations. Consequently, adapting AI agents to the latest business environments required experts to continuously adjust prompts, search methods, evaluation criteria, and operational rules.To address this challenge, Fujitsu has developed a technology that allows AI agents to safely learn by autonomously verifying their operational experience.This technology is a multi-AI agent technology that continuously and safely evolves by adapting to changes in business environments and incorporating business execution results, human feedback, institutional revisions, and specification changes. Its most significant feature is that while performing tasks, AI agents identify reasons for success and failure, extract actionable knowledge and operational insights, and do not simply store generated improvement proposals. This allows AI agents to take over tasks such as prompt adjustments and evaluation criteria updates, which were previously performed continuously by experts. Furthermore, by deploying AI within the customer's environment, it continuously adapts to individual rules and judgment criteria that arise during business operations, realizing a business foundation that evolves with people and the environment. Figure 1: Overview of the technologyFujitsu applied this newly developed technology to the following two areas and evaluated its accuracy:1. Automated enhancement and continuous evolution of business-specific LLMsThis technology can be applied to the entire process of building business-specific LLMs. Multi-AI agents autonomously execute and optimize a series of steps such as data selection, adjustment of learning conditions, evaluation, and improvement, which were previously handled by experts. Each AI agent generates improvement proposals based on business execution results and evaluation results, and by verifying and reflecting only the effective ones, it continuously improves model performance. This significantly reduces the need for tasks previously performed by experts, realizing a mechanism where AI autonomously continues to evolve within business operations.Figure 2: Automated enhancement and continuous improvement of business-specific LLMs by self-evolving multi-AI agent technologyFujitsu automatically enhanced "Takane" for multiple domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and public administration, and continuously improved it through operations. Through operational use, continuous improvements were implemented, resulting in a significant average accuracy improvement of 28 points compared to pre-specialization performance. In the medical field, for example, the application of this technology enables structured extraction of information tailored to specific business operations, such as extracting diagnostic names, progression stages, and treatment policies from unstructured data such as medical records and test results, in a consistent format. This not only improves the accuracy of responses but also demonstrates that multi-AI agents can automate the process of building and improving business-specific LLMs, which previously required design and adjustment based on specialized knowledge, and continuously optimize them through operations. This enables companies to build AI tailored to their own operations in a short period and continuously improve it in response to changes in operations, without heavily relying on AI specialists.Figure 3: Benchmark evaluation results before and after domain-specific optimizationFurthermore, under the OneFujitsu initiative[2], Fujitsu has been promoting the global standardization of internal IT, data, and business processes. By globally applying this technology and the multi-AI agent platform equipped with "Takane," Fujitsu is achieving autonomous business execution and accelerating management speed, thereby accelerating the transition to Data & AI-driven management.2. Application to Design Specification Search in Large-Scale Business SystemsThis technology was applied to AI agent-based document search for design specifications of Fujitsu's electronic health record system for medium-to-large hospitals and business solutions for local governments. Traditionally, identifying the scope of impact for software modifications due to legal revisions or policy changes required skilled experts with deep knowledge of regulations, business processes, and system architecture. With this technology, AI agents now learn from past search results, failure cases, and human corrections. As a result, they autonomously improve search range expansion and document extraction strategies. This reduces the effort required for designing and improving search logic and also improves accuracy. This indicates that AI agents did not merely repeat searches, but learned and applied the exploration techniques used by skilled experts, such as checking related peripheral documents during operations and not excluding seemingly irrelevant documents if they belong to the same business domain. Going forward, Fujitsu will apply these insights and technologies to its AI-Driven Software Development Platform to further enhance and streamline the overall design and development process.Future plansFujitsu plans to integrate this technology into its proprietary AI platform and offer it as a core technology to support the in-house development and autonomous operation of business-specific AI. Furthermore, as one of the advanced AI technologies within the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI platform, Fujitsu will promote its application to a wide range of areas requiring specialized knowledge and continuous improvement.Additionally, by combining insights from joint research with Associate Professor Graham Neubig and Assistant Professor Tim Dettmers from Carnegie Mellon University and Fujitsu's developed generative AI reconstruction technology, Fujitsu will advance the development of technology to operate self-evolving multi-AI agent systems with less memory and power. This aims to enable the use of AI teams that continuously learn from operations not only in cloud environments but also in highly confidential on-premises and edge environments.Fujitsu aims to realize sovereign AI that can continuously learn not only in the cloud but also in on-premises and edge environments. Furthermore, by enabling AI to learn from on-site failures, human instructions, and environmental changes in real-time, and safely apply this knowledge to subsequent tasks, Fujitsu will evolve AI into an intelligent foundation that grows with the workplace. This will solve societal challenges such as the shortage of specialized personnel, adaptation to regulatory changes, succession of tribal knowledge, and advancement of on-site operations, thereby creating a future where people and AI learn from each other to evolve entire industries.[1] Self-evolving multi-AI agent technology:A technology where multiple AI agents divide tasks, execute them, and continuously and safely improve their subsequent actions based on the results, human feedback, and environmental changes such as policy revisions and specification changes.[2] OneFujitsu initiative: An initiative to define common global standard processes (Golden Standard) across Fujitsu, unifying and optimizing operations across organizations and countries.Fujitsu’s Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 represent a set of common goals to be achieved worldwide by 2030.Fujitsu’s purpose - “to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation” — is a promise to contribute to the vision of a better future empowered by the SDGs.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
