BULL and Fujitsu Sign Basic Agreement to Develop Japan’s Unique High-Precision Space Situational Awareness Service

TOKYO, Apr 21, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BULL Co., Ltd., a company developing space debris mitigation devices, and Fujitsu Limited today announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the development of a high-precision Space Situational Awareness (SSA) service unique to Japan. This service aims to monitor space debris in Earth's orbit, contributing to safe and sustainable space activities. Through the development of this SSA service, both companies will contribute to the realization of Space Traffic Management (STM), which manages artificial satellites from launch to disposal, and aim to establish it as a de facto standard.BackgroundIn recent years, the rapid expansion of satellite constellations, enabled by the decreasing cost and miniaturization of artificial satellites, has facilitated continuous and high-frequency Earth observation possible by launching multiple satellites into the same orbit. This trend, however, has concurrently escalated the serious risk of collisions between objects, including space debris, due to the increasing congestion of orbital environments. Consequently, establishing high-precision SSA and the subsequent implementation of STM has become an urgent imperative, particularly for national security.BULL is dedicated to developing “HORN,” a Post Mission Disposal (PMD) device designed to be deployed to prevent rockets and artificial satellites from becoming space debris when deployed. The company also develops technology for acquiring data from rockets, artificial satellites, and their surroundings, thereby promoting practical contributions to space sustainability. Fujitsu, since the 1960s, has been actively involved in the research and development, and social implementation of large-scale data processing platforms and high-precision orbital analysis technologies for space debris and other orbital phenomena. This collaboration between BULL and Fujitsu was initiated through Fujitsu Accelerator, Fujitsu's partner co-creation program aimed at fostering innovation.Overview of the CollaborationBoth companies will jointly explore a comprehensive service and business model for Japan’s unique private-sector SSA service, encompassing the entire process from artificial satellite orbital data acquisition to operational support. Specifically, BULL will focus on building models for high-precision orbital analysis leveraging data obtained from HORN, while Fujitsu will explore the development of a platform for orbital and conjunction analysis compatible with HORN.Through the development of these services, both BULL and Fujitsu aim to realize effective Space Traffic Management and thereby contribute to the development of safe, secure, and sustainable space activities.About BULLWith the vision of making the interplanetary travel “the norm” on and off the Earth, BULL is a start-up aiming to provide inexpensive and concise services in space by utilizing “(Re --) Entry” technology into planets. Based in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, the company promotes industry-academia-government collaboration.By developing a device to prevent the generation of space debris and advancing the development of microgravity experimental satellites and devices for orbital utilization, BULL contributes to the SDGs in the new era of space development.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

Apple樹下的Apple:在巔峰時刻離任的Tim Cook與迎接人工智慧時代的理想CEO John Ternus

(SeaPRwire) -   Apple 股價在盤後交易中微幅下跌,此前公司宣佈執行長 Tim Cook 將卸任,並由其親自挑選的門生 John Ternus 接任。毫無疑問,Cook 是我們這個時代最傳奇且成就最高的執行長之一,但這種短視的市場反應完全是誤導。以下是 Apple 從 Cook 到 Ternus 的執行長交接反映出模範繼任流程的三個原因,這預示著公司最輝煌的日子還在後頭。 Cook 在自己的任期內功成身退——且 Apple 從未如此強大 正如 Wedbush 分析師 Dan Ives 在 Apple 宣佈消息後立即在 CNBC 上發表的評論,除非 Cook 對交給繼任者的局面充滿信心,否則他不會離開——而這確實是一個大好局面。 儘管一些分析師因幾次有據可查的失誤而誤將 Apple 描繪成採用 AI 的落後者,但正如我們去年預見性地指出,Apple 在向全球約 20 億消費者推廣 AI 方面仍保持領先地位。當談到人工智慧的消費者普及時,條條大路仍通向 Apple,因為它是通往無與倫比用戶群的唯一守門人。 這套策略一直是 Apple 屢試不爽的成功秘訣,因為 Apple 從不爭第一,但總是做得最好。「第一的謬誤」已由 Netscape、Napster、Sony 的 Betamax、GM 的 EV1 電動車、Kodak 在 1975 年推出的首款數位相機,以及 UPS 在 1929 年推出的隔夜快遞服務所證明,這些都是強而有力的提醒:爭第一並非致勝之道,做到最好才是。正如 Apple 從未擁有第一台個人電腦或第一款智慧型手機,但他們最終擁有了最好的;同樣地,儘管 Apple 長期以來因在 AI 方面的支出不足而受到批評,但鑑於其對實體硬體的控制,Apple 現在完全有能力挑選 AI 的贏家和輸家。 今年已經準備好成為 Apple AI 生態系統的轉型之年。產品線涵蓋了從推出由 Gemini AI 驅動的增強版 Siri,到專有基礎設施的令人興奮的發展——包括內部 AI 伺服器和客製化矽晶片——以及備受期待的摺疊式 iPhone 於今年秋季的發佈。 Ternus 打造了將贏得 AI 時代的硬體 Cook 選擇在事業巔峰時期離開,這是計劃周詳、深思熟慮的繼任流程之巔峰。隨著 John Ternus 在過去幾個月公開成為指定的接班人,公司已明確發出了這一過渡信號。 作為一名久經考驗的產品架構師和骨子裡的工程師,John Ternus 是正確時間的正確人選。過去二十年裡,幾乎每一項重大的 Apple 硬體成功都有他的身影。Ternus 一直是從 Intel 處理器過渡到 Apple 專有客製化矽晶片(Apple AI 努力的基礎)背後的推動力。此外,他在幾乎所有核心產品線的開發中都發揮了重要作用,包括 AirPods 和 iPad,同時振興了整個 Mac 系列。 Ternus 的硬體實力對 Apple 的 AI 未來至關重要。雖然 AI 模型提供原始智慧,但 Apple 的硬體是消費者/用戶採用 AI 的最終守門人。透過提拔一位大師級的產品架構師,Apple 押注 AI 時代的最終勝利者將是擁有消費者體驗最後、也是最有價值一英里的公司。Ternus 擁有明確的授權,利用 Apple 無與倫比的硬體足跡——控制超過 20 億台實體設備——為消費者 AI 時代打造不可或缺的底盤。 Apple 始終比任何一位執行長都更偉大 三十八年前,第一作者的暢銷書 The Hero’s Farewell(Oxford)在描述追隨創始人所面臨的挑戰方面開闢了新天地,因為傳奇企業家留下的陰影揮之不去。多年後,Steve Jobs 親自向第一作者抱怨他失敗的繼任者 Gil Amelio 和 John Sculley 時,引用了這本書,堅持認為他們缺乏對 Jobs 所推進技術的商業掌控力。然而,當談到 Tim Cook 時,Jobs 兩次將執行長職位交給他,卻沒有急於或正式放棄頭銜,他信任 Cook 絕不會削弱他的地位——即使在他因健康虛弱和公司訊息不明確而處於弱勢的時刻。 Jobs 去世後,許多分析師對 Cook 繼任一位傳奇創始人的前景持懷疑態度。一位董事會成員甚至建議第一作者賣掉他的 Apple 股票。然而,Cook 立即以罕見的活力與謙遜接過了韁繩。他激勵他人創新,不帶任何個人浮誇,削減了 Jobs 的一些過度行為,並在此過程中將 Apple 轉變為全球市值最高的公司。 Jobs 完全信任 Tim Cook 重新設計 Apple 的全球生產流程和供應鏈。因此,當地緣政治需要將部分業務遷回國內或轉向友岸外包時,Cook 成為了重新審視該流程的理想領導者。作為這台營運機器的架構師,Cook 擁有對其進行徹底改革所需的獨特權威和洞察力。 但 Cook 的遺產遠不止他在供應鏈方面的成就。雖然 Steve Jobs 被正確地譽為 Apple 最初成功的遠見者,但正是像 Lee Felsenstein 這樣的早期先驅設計了第一台個人電腦;Jobs 只是擁有將其商業化的天才。類似的動態定義了 Tim Cook 的遺產。他可能從 Jobs 手中繼承了 iPhone,但正是 Cook 將其擴展為地球上最不可或缺的設備,將其轉變為數十億人組織日常生活的單一硬體中心。人們很容易忘記,當 Cook 接任執行長職位時,iPhone 在美國智慧型手機市場的佔有率不到四分之一,面臨著 BlackBerry、Samsung、Motorola 和 Nokia 等強大對手。這與 iPhone 如今的統治地位大相徑庭——佔據全球市場的三分之一和美國市場的近三分之二,這證明了 Tim Cook 的商業天才。 在 1983 年的一次內部演講中,臭名昭著的完美主義者 Steve Jobs 抱怨 Macintosh 的完成速度,諷刺道:「真正的藝術家不會死守著他們的作品。真正的藝術家會出貨。Matisse 出貨了。Picasso 出貨了。」 Jobs 從未見證 Cook 任期的完整歷程,但記錄不言自明:Tim Cook 出貨了。Cook 擺脫了完美主義設計師的自我反省,將產品推向市場,並取得了前所未有的成功。創意只有在實施時才有用。在科技領域,偉大的產品往往受困於未完成的狀態——Cook 從容地避開了這些陷阱。他作為一名擁有無與倫比執行能力的遠見卓識科技領袖的地位是不容置疑的,他將接力棒交給親自挑選的門生 John Ternus 的模範繼任流程,反映了 Apple 最輝煌的日子還在後頭。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Smart Lighting Expo and Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition), twin fairs open today

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 3rd Smart Lighting Expo and the 17th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition) open today and will run for four consecutive days from 20 to 23 April at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai. Under the theme “Go Smart, Live Green”, the twin lighting fairs introduce a number of new zones this year, including the debut of “Light Lab”, which focuses on lighting solutions that combine innovation and sustainability, unveiling the latest lighting trends for 2026.Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s twin lighting fairs bring together some 900 exhibitors, including new exhibitors from the Netherlands and Vietnam. A number of industry leaders are participating, including Absen, whose LED displays were in use at the World Cup and World Expos, and has been ranked first nationally in LED display exports for 16 consecutive years, and Shanghai Sansi, which supplies over 60% of the screens in Times Square, New York. Overall, our exhibitor lineup is strong. As one of the key events of Business of Innovation and Technology Week (BIT Week), the Smart Lighting Expo focuses on cutting edge lighting technologies and applications. This year, the newly launched Smart Commercial Display & Stage Audio-Visual Zone features lighting products and equipment related to cultural tourism and performing arts. As top-tier trade events for lighting products and technologies, the twin lighting fairs not only help promote Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology hub but also support the development of the megaevent economy by fostering cross industry exchange and collaboration.”According to Statista, the global smart lighting market is expected to reach US$44 billion by 2030. An analysis released by the International Energy Agency in March said that a second wave of LED transformation is imminent. In regions including Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific (excluding India and Chinese Mainland), LED penetration remains relatively low. In the residential sector alone, around 30% of lighting fixtures worldwide have yet to be upgraded, creating opportunities for high efficiency LED technologies. At the same time, early generation LED products, which account for nearly 15% of global residential lighting fixtures and have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years, are gradually reaching the end of their service life, creating opportunities for high efficiency and more intelligent lighting systems.Against the backdrop of surging demand for high efficiency and intelligent lighting, this year’s fairs curate multiple highlights that bring advanced lighting technologies into real world application scenarios. The newly introduced “Light Lab” in Hall 3 features three scenario-based designs that present a range of products in an immersive manner, allowing visitors to experience their characteristics in different settings. The Lumin Garden displays garden lighting, smart lamp posts and solar luminaires. Shanghai Sansi LED Lighting presents plant lighting fixtures that use proprietary independent ceramic technology, delivering heat dissipation efficiency superior to metal structures.

TLDR Reabold 表示 West Newton 將繼續支持英國能源安全。 該公司正在探索一個小型比特幣挖礦項目,利用初步的天然氣流量。 Reabold 在《每日電訊報》週日的一篇報導後發布了澄清。 該公司表示,一個較大的數據中心不會排除將天然氣輸送至電網的計劃。 West Newton 估計儲存高達八十億立方米的天然氣。 (SeaPRwire) -   Reabold Resources 在有報導稱其 West Newton 天然氣田可能轉向比特幣挖礦後,已著手平息擔憂。這家英國公司表示,儘管該公司正在研究一個與早期天然氣流量相關的小型試驗項目,但位於約克郡的該地點仍專注於國內能源安全。 此澄清是在《每日電訊報》週末的一篇報導之後發布的,該報導稱 Reabold 計劃利用該地點的天然氣來挖礦比特幣,而不是供應英國的能源需求。為此,該公司表示,West Newton 的項目仍將以英國的能源需求為考量進行開發。該公司補充說,任何比特幣挖礦計劃的規模都將是有限的,並且與初步的天然氣產量掛鉤。 Reabold 在週末報導後回應 Reabold 在報紙報導引起人們對該公司 West Newton 計劃的關注後,於週一發布了其聲明。報導稱,位於赫爾附近的該氣田可用於為比特幣挖礦數據中心供電。報導還稱,該地點的天然氣儲量足以滿足英國超過 10% 的能源需求。 該公司反駁了比特幣挖礦將取代其核心能源目標的說法。該公司表示:“位於約克郡 West Newton 地點的豐富陸上天然氣資源,過去和未來都將繼續為英國能源安全做出貢獻。”該公司補充說,在充滿地緣政治不確定性的時期,這一目標至關重要。 Reabold 還表示,將繼續與當地和國家利益相關者就該地點的未來進行合作。該公司聲明,希望找到最佳的開發途徑。此番表態似乎旨在緩解報導和當地批評者提出的擔憂。 小型挖礦計劃與初步天然氣流量掛鉤 在澄清聲明中,Reabold 表示正在探索在 West Newton A 井點進行一項有限的項目。該計劃涉及一個小型發電設施,可以利用初步的天然氣流量來挖礦比特幣。該公司將這一想法與即將進行的井口修復工作聯繫起來。 Reabold 將該提案描述為一項測試,而不是業務方向的廣泛轉變。該公司表示,目標是展示該地點的天然氣如何支持數據中心項目。據該公司稱,此類項目對未來的英國經濟可能很重要。 該公司還表示,一項成功的試驗未來可能會支持該地點的一個較大數據中心。即便如此,該公司也表示,這不會阻礙天然氣的其他商業用途。該公司聲明,將天然氣輸送至電網和輸送至工業的選項仍然開放。 West Newton 仍然是更廣泛能源辯論的中心 West Newton 因其規模和地點已經引起了關注。據估計,該地點儲存高達八十億立方米的天然氣。Reabold 還獲得了環境局的許可,可以在此進行有限的低壓水力壓裂。 週末的報導引用了 Reabold 聯合首席執行官 Sachin Oza 的評論。據報導,他表示:“私營的天然氣供應意味著我們可以相對便宜地運營一個數據中心來挖礦比特幣。”據報導,他還表示,早期用例可以幫助資助該氣田的進一步開發。 這一想法也面臨著環保活動人士的批評,他們反對新的天然氣項目和水力壓裂。一位反水力壓裂運動的領導人告訴《每日電訊報》,將天然氣用於比特幣挖礦不符合公共利益。這種批評反映了圍繞化石燃料使用、能源成本和數字資產挖礦的更廣泛辯論。 目前,Reabold 的立場是,比特幣挖礦僅被視為與初步天然氣產量相關的一個小型試驗。該公司表示,West Newton 的主要發展方向仍然與英國能源安全掛鉤。此番澄清似乎旨在反駁該公司正在轉向脫離天然氣供應的觀點。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

勞工部長洛麗·查韋斯-德雷默在被指控與下屬有染及工作時酗酒後離開特朗普內閣

(SeaPRwire) -   勞工部長洛莉·查維茲-德雷默已離開總統唐納·川普的內閣,白宮週一表示,此前她面臨多項濫用職權的指控,包括與下屬發生婚外情以及在工作期間飲酒。 查維茲-德雷默是第三位離職的川普內閣成員,此前川普於三月份解僱了陷入困境的國土安全部長克莉絲蒂·諾姆,並在本月早些時候罷免了司法部長帕姆·邦迪。 查維茲-德雷默在社交媒體上發布的一份聲明中讚揚了川普,並寫道:「我感到自豪的是,我們在推進川普總統彌合企業與勞工之間差距、始終將美國工人放在首位的使命方面取得了重大進展。」 與近期其他內閣成員離職不同,查維茲-德雷默的離職是由一名白宮助理宣布的,而非總統透過其社交媒體帳號宣布。 白宮通訊主任史蒂文·張在社交媒體平台X上表示:「勞工部長洛莉·查維茲-德雷默將離開政府,轉往私營部門任職。她在保護美國工人、實施公平勞動實踐以及幫助美國人獲得提升生活的額外技能方面表現出色。」 他表示,現任副勞工部長基思·桑德林將接替她擔任代理勞工部長。新聞媒體NOTUS最先報導了查維茲-德雷默的辭職消息。 勞工部長及家人面臨多項指控 查維茲-德雷默的離職,是在有關她受到一系列調查的報導於一月份開始浮出水面之後發生的。 上週三《紐約時報》的一篇報導披露,勞工部的監察長正在審查材料,這些材料顯示查維茲-德雷默及其高級助手和家人經常向年輕工作人員發送個人信息和提出個人要求。 據該報報導,查維茲-德雷默的丈夫和父親曾與年輕的女性工作人員互發簡訊。熟悉調查情況的人士告訴《紐約時報》,部分工作人員曾被部長及其前任副幕僚長指示要「關照」她的家人。 這些訊息的曝光是一項針對查維茲-德雷默領導能力的更廣泛調查的一部分,該調查是在《紐約郵報》一月份報導有人向勞工部監察長提交投訴,指控查維茲-德雷默與一名下屬存在不當關係後開始的。 她還面臨在工作期間飲酒,以及指示助手以主要為個人原因規劃公務旅行的指控。 白宮和勞工部最初均表示,有關不當行為的報導是毫無根據的。但隨著更多指控出現,官方的否認變得不再那麼堅決——而查維茲-德雷默何時會丟掉工作也成了華盛頓的一個公開問題。 據《紐約時報》報導,隨著調查的進展,至少已有四名勞工部官員被迫離職,包括查維茲-德雷默的前任幕僚長和副幕僚長,以及一名被指控與她有染的隨扈人員。 參議員約翰·甘迺迪(共和黨-路易斯安那州)週一在她離職的消息公開後表示:「我認為部長辭職展現了很大的智慧。」 她獲得工會支持——對共和黨人來說實屬罕見 查維茲-德雷默於2025年3月以67票對32票的表決結果獲確認為川普內閣成員,她曾是眾議院共和黨議員,代表俄勒岡州的一個搖擺選區。作為一名共和黨人,她獲得了工會不尋常的支持,但在2024年11月的選舉中連任失敗。 在國會的單一任期內,查維茲-德雷默支持了旨在使聯邦層面組建工會更加容易的法案,以及另一項旨在保護公共部門員工社會安全福利的法案。 一些著名的工會,包括International Brotherhood of Teamsters,支持身為Teamster成員之女的查維茲-德雷默出任勞工部長。一些政治觀察家認為,川普選擇她是為了吸引身為勞工組織成員或與之有聯繫的選民。 但其他有影響力的勞工領袖在她被提名時持懷疑態度,不相信查維茲-德雷默作為即將上任的共和黨政府的一員會推行親工會的議程。在她的參議院確認聽證會上,一些參議員質疑她能否在一個解僱了數千名聯邦雇員的政府中維持這一聲譽。 她是川普放鬆監管推動的關鍵人物 除了近幾個月有關不當行為的報導外,查維茲-德雷默一直是川普內閣中較為低調的任命人選之一,但在其任期內採取了關鍵步驟來推進政府的放鬆監管議程。 例如,勞工部去年著手修訂或廢除了60多項被其視為過時的工作場所法規。這些撤銷行動包括針對家庭醫療保健工作者和殘疾人士的最低工資要求,以及關於接觸有害物質和礦場安全程序的規定。此舉招致了工會領袖和工作場所安全專家的譴責。 擬議的變更還包括取消要求雇主為建築工地提供充足照明,以及為大多數雇主提供的交通工具上的農業工人配備安全帶的規定。 在查維茲-德雷默任期內,川普政府取消了由勞工部一個部門管理的數百萬美元國際補助金,這些補助金用於打擊世界各地的童工和奴工,終結了在過去二十年間幫助全球童工人數減少7800萬的工作。 查維茲-德雷默在週一的聲明中表示:「雖然我在政府服務的時間即將結束,但這並不意味著我會停止為美國工人奮鬥。」 勞工部在與美國勞動力相關的事務上擁有廣泛的職權,包括報告美國失業率、監管工作場所健康與安全標準、調查最低工資、童工和加班費爭議,以及執行有關工會組織和非法解僱的法律。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

掙扎中的 AI 電力新創公司 Fermi 失去 CEO 與 CFO 展開「2.0」重組

(SeaPRwire) -   陷入困境的 AI 電力新創公司 Fermi 正在失去其執行長與財務長,並啟動了一項「2.0」重組計畫,旨在為其位於德州狹長地帶(Texas Panhandle)的全球最大資料中心園區項目吸引客戶。 由前美國能源部長 Rick Perry 支持的 Fermi,去年在尚未產生任何營收的情況下進行了極為成功的首次公開募股(IPO),但隨後股價急劇下跌。該公司不僅失去了首個計畫中的超大規模(hyperscaler)客戶,其共同創辦人兼執行長 Toby Neugebauer 更被報導與美國商務部長 Howard Lutnick 發生公開衝突。 Fermi 的市值已從 10 月份的近 200 億美元跌至 4 月 20 日的 34 億美元,其中包括因領導層變動消息而導致的近 18% 的跌幅。 退休德州眾議員 Randy Neugebauer 之子 Toby Neugebauer 將保留董事會成員身份及 Fermi 最大股東的地位,但不再擔任行政職務。同樣地,財務長 Miles Everson 已辭職,但將留任董事會,公司表示。 Fermi 董事長 Marius Haas 表示,在獵頭公司 Heidrick & Struggles 協助尋找新任執行長期間,將由一個新的「執行長辦公室」領導公司。該公司將與 Haas 及另外兩名董事會成員(不包括 Perry、Neugebauer 和 Everson)密切合作,以選出新任執行長。 過渡時期的執行長辦公室將由 Fermi 營運長 Jacobo Ortiz 以及擁有 Google 和 Meta 產業經驗的董事會觀察員 Anna Bofa 共同領導。 Fermi 也將把總部從德州 Amarillo 遷至 Dallas。 Fermi 的「Project Matador」計畫旨在建設 11 吉瓦(足以為 800 萬戶家庭供電)的核能、太陽能及天然氣發電設施,以建立一個「HyperGrid」,為佔地超過 5,000 英畝的龐大資料中心群提供支援,這些土地大部分由 Texas Tech University System 所有。其中大部分土地已租給美國能源部,該部門已公開支持 Fermi 的開發。 Fermi 甚至計畫將該園區命名為「Donald J. Trump Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus in West Texas」。 Fermi 表示,此次領導層變動是公司「演進的一部分,隨著公司持續朝向成為一家成熟、穩定的實體邁進,並為長期、永續的成長做好準備。」 公司拒絕就 Neugebauer 和 Everson 卸下行政職務發表進一步評論。Neugebauer 未回覆尋求置評的訊息。 潛在的上行空間 Stifel 分析師 Stephen Gengaro 在一份報告中指出,Neugebauer 的「意外」離職可能對公司產生正面影響。 根據管理層提到過去幾天「客戶洽談加速」的評論,「顯然潛在客戶與即將離任的執行長之間存在摩擦。未來與客戶的談判可能會更加順利,」Gengaro 表示。 「雖然股價可能會因該頭條新聞而走弱,但我們認為這對 [Fermi] 來說可能是一個加分項,」Gengaro 補充道。 去年 12 月,一名未具名的 Fermi 租戶取消了一筆價值 1.5 億美元的資料中心園區交易。Fermi 原計畫在 3 月前敲定一名主力租戶,但至今尚未實現。 此消息也發生在 Politico 於 3 月報導 Neugebauer 與商務部長 Lutnick 在加州聖荷西舉行的 Nvidia GTC 大會上發生公開衝突之後。 據報導,Neugebauer 向 Lutnick 抱怨美國與韓國的貿易協定計畫,以及阻礙或拖延韓國對 Fermi 項目直接投資的問題。Fermi 已與韓國的 Doosan Enerbility 和 Hyundai Engineering & Construction 在核反應爐開發方面展開合作。 據 Politico 報導,當時 Neugebauer 否認自己「大聲且好鬥」,僅承認曾與 Lutnick 進行過「直接對話」,討論關於對 Fermi 進展的干預感。 與 Fermi 無關的是,Neugebauer 因其失敗的「反覺醒」(anti-woke)銀行業務 GloriFi,目前正與知名億萬富翁 Peter Thiel 和 Ken Griffin 進行法律糾紛。Citadel 的 Griffin、PayPal 與 Palantir Technologies 的共同創辦人 Thiel 以及其他知名人士曾是 GloriFi 的重要財務支持者。 《The Wall Street Journal》此前報導稱,GloriFi 飽受混亂的工作環境困擾,Neugebauer 的反覆無常行為尤為突出。 以共同創辦能源領域私募股權公司 Quantum Energy Partners(現為 Quantum Capital Group)而聞名的 Neugebauer,在 2022 年因資金耗盡而關閉了 GloriFi。該公司於 2023 年初申請了 Chapter 7 破產保護。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

AI 代理即將到來 —— 伯恩斯坦(Bernstein)指出哪些軟件股能存活下來

TLDR Bernstein指出,AI正透過「control planes」(控制平面)重塑企業軟體——這是一種管理AI能力的基礎設施 雲端基礎設施層(IaaS與PaaS)將從AI轉型中獲得最大益處 傳統軟體面臨實質壓力,但需求並未消失——而是正在重新定價 以消費為基礎的定價模式與高級AI套裝服務是新的成長引擎 Bernstein表示,「軟體已死」的說法言過其實 (SeaPRwire) -   Bernstein發布了一份關於人工智慧將如何重塑軟體產業的五年展望報告。該公司的主要論點是:AI並非在消滅軟體,而是在改變價值創造與獲取的方式。 報告提出了「AI control plane」(AI控制平面)的概念——這是一個基礎設施層,負責管理與協調企業內的AI工具、數據流與軟體代理。Bernstein指出,擁有此層的公司將成為長期贏家。 該公司堅信AI已對企業軟體產生實質影響,而非多年後才需要擔心的問題。 雲端基礎設施將獲得最大收益 Bernstein預期最大收益將歸於雲端基礎設施供應商——特別是那些提供Infrastructure-as-a-Service(基礎設施即服務)與Platform-as-a-Service(平台即服務)產品的廠商。GPU與標準運算能力的需求正快速成長。 隨著「agentic AI」(自主AI,指能自主運作以完成目標的軟體)在大型企業中變得更普遍,這種成長預期將加速。這些系統需要強大的後端支援才能運作。 資料庫使用量也預計會成長。Bernstein預期更多企業將從內部部署的傳統系統轉向基於雲端與AI原生的資料庫解決方案。 該公司認為這是主要科技業者總可達市場(total addressable market)的擴張,而非萎縮。 並非所有軟體都平等 Bernstein在脆弱與具韌性的軟體之間劃出了明確界線。基於傳統授權銷售的傳統產品面臨實質定價壓力。 MSCI World Software and Services Index(MSCI全球軟體與服務指數)今年已下跌超過20%,反映出市場對AI破壞性影響的廣泛擔憂。Bernstein表示,這種反應過於籠統。 該公司主張,AI並未消除軟體需求,而是重新定價。例如,IT服務的轉變正從按工作時數收費轉向按成果收費。 能夠證明AI功能正在推動其現有客戶群實際使用成長的公司,將更有能力恢復投資者信心。 業界聲音進一步補充了這一觀點。Yuki的執行長Ido Arieli Noga主張,AI代理並非取代數據平台,而是從中提取數據。他警告,隨著AI系統全天候產生命令,代理使用量的增加可能引發基礎設施消費的激增。 Bernstein指出其論點面臨的一個關鍵風險:如果運算與電力成本大幅上漲,建構AI基礎設施的經濟效益可能面臨實質限制。 該公司表示,重要的新財務指標包括使用率、AI功能的附加率,以及與消費型定價相關的經常性收入——而不僅僅是整體營收成長。 Bernstein的報告發布於2026年4月19日。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Marvell (MRVL) 股價因Google AI晶片合作相關報導大漲

摘要 在有報導稱 Marvell 正與 Google 洽談開發兩款新型 AI 晶片後,Marvell 股價在盤前交易中一度跳漲 6.3%。 其中一款是旨在與 Google 的張量處理單元 (TPU) 協同工作的記憶體處理單元;另一款則是專為 AI 推論設計的新型 TPU。 Google 目標是在明年盡早敲定記憶體晶片設計,隨後進入測試生產。 此交易是 Google 更廣泛計劃的一部分,旨在將 TPU 定位為 Nvidia GPU 的有力競爭對手。 Google 2025 年第一季財報將於 4 月 29 日公布,屆時可能會進一步揭示其 AI 晶片投資計劃。 (SeaPRwire) -   在 The Information 報導 Alphabet 旗下的 Google 正與晶片製造商洽談共同開發兩款新型 AI 晶片後,Marvell (MRVL) 在週日盤前獲得提振。 Marvell Technology, Inc., MRVL 截至美東時間凌晨 4:38 左右,該股上漲了 6.3%,為交易員在週初提供了早期動力。 根據報導,兩位知情人士表示,兩家公司正在研發一款記憶體處理單元 (MPU),旨在與 Google 現有的張量處理單元 (TPU) 並列運行。第二款晶片則是專為 AI 推論工作負載打造的全新 TPU。 目標是早在明年鎖定記憶體晶片的設計,之後兩家公司將進入測試生產。 Google 的晶片雄心初具規模 這並非 Google 的單打獨鬥。該公司一直在悄悄建立半導體生態系統,除了 Marvell 之外,還與 Intel 和 Broadcom 等合作夥伴合作。 在大部分歷史中,Google 的 TPU 僅供內部使用。這種情況在 2022 年發生了變化,當時其雲端部門接管了外部晶片銷售,並開始向外部客戶推廣 TPU。 自那以後,Google 加大了產量和外部銷售。去年,它開始直接向客戶自己的數據中心銷售 TPU——而不僅僅是透過其雲端平台。這是市場進入策略的一個重大轉變。 本月早些時候,Google 正式啟動了 TorchTPU 專案,使其晶片能原生相容於 PyTorch——這是目前主流的 AI 軟體框架。此舉降低了那些已圍繞 PyTorch 建立工作流程並考慮脫離 Nvidia 硬體的開發者的切換成本。 隨著公司試圖向投資者證明其 AI 支出正在產生回報,TPU 銷售已成為 Google Cloud 營收日益增長的貢獻來源。 Nvidia 的處境 Nvidia 仍主導著 AI 運算,但 Google 的舉動正對該地位施加更多壓力。 與 Marvell 的合作為 Google 的推論晶片野心增添了火力——Nvidia 也在這一領域積極擴張。據報導,Nvidia 正在利用來自 Groq 的技術開發新型 AI 推論晶片。 隨著 Google、Marvell、Intel 和 Broadcom 都朝著同一個方向前進,推論晶片市場正迅速變得擁擠。 Google 的第一季財報將於 4 月 29 日公布。投資者可能會尋找有關該公司計劃如何積極擴大 TPU 生產、雲端營收增長,以及與 Marvell 的談判對其未來晶片路線圖意味著什麼的線索。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) -   在公共媒體經歷了異常艱難的一年後,億萬富翁慈善家、前 Microsoft 執行長 Steve Ballmer 的妻子 Connie Ballmer 捐贈了 8000 萬美元,以支持 NPR 的未來。 Ballmer 在週六發表的一篇採訪中告訴 The Wall Street Journal:「我們需要基於事實的新聞,我們也需要地方新聞。」Ballmer 是一位狂熱的 NPR 聽眾,她表示她在散步、開車和工作時都會收聽 Morning Edition 和 All Things Considered 等節目。 這筆捐款正值公共廣播的關鍵時刻,此前 Trump 政府施壓國會,削減了 Corporation for Public Broadcasting 約 11 億美元已批准的資金,該機構負責分配公共廣播和電視的資金。 The White House 未立即回應 該媒體的 置評請求。 這份禮物使 Ballmer 成為 NPR 史上最大的在世捐贈者。一位匿名捐贈者也向該組織捐贈了 3300 萬美元,以加強 NPR 旗下 240 多個地方會員電台的網絡,其中許多電台都受到了 Corporation for Public Broadcasting 資金削減的影響。NPR 總裁兼執行長 Katherine Maher 表示,NPR 報導稱,這些捐款共同為該網絡及其電台「提供了催化性支持」,並為它們未來 50 年的發展奠定了基礎。 Ballmer 在一份聲明中表示:「我支持 NPR,因為一個知情的公眾是我們社會的基石,民主需要強大、獨立的新聞業。我希望這項承諾能為 NPR 提供所需的穩定性和動力,使其大膽創新並加強其全國網絡。」 她對新聞業的承諾長達數十年。她在 University of Oregon 獲得新聞學學位,之後在科技領域從事公共關係和市場行銷工作。她目前擔任 Obama Foundation 董事會成員,此前曾任 NPR Foundation 董事會成員。 2015 年,Ballmer 和她的丈夫、前 Microsoft 執行長 Steve Ballmer 創立了 Ballmer Group,這是一個致力於改善兒童和家庭經濟流動性的基金會。Los Angeles Clippers 的老闆 Steve Ballmer 估計淨資產為 1490 億美元。Ballmer 的發言人告訴 WSJ,這對夫婦截至 2025 年已捐贈至少 80 億美元。他們還於 2024 年與兒子 Sam 共同創立了 Rainier Climate,這是一個旨在減少溫室氣體排放的非營利組織。 從削減中恢復 去年五月,Donald Trump 總統簽署了一項行政命令,要求 CPB 削減對 NPR 和 PBS 的所有聯邦資金,理由是「偏頗和黨派新聞報導」。七月,國會撤銷了超過 10 億美元的公共廣播資金。 NPR 預算中只有約 1% 直接來自 CPB,但平均每個公共廣播電台損失了約 10% 的年度預算。對於一些地方電台,尤其是在農村地區,超過一半的預算來自 CPB。 1 月 5 日,在 CPB 由國會成立近 60 年後,該非營利組織正式解散。三月下旬,一名美國地方法官裁定 Trump 的行政命令非法並違反了憲法第一修正案,但這並不意味著公共廣播公司將能收回其資金。 雖然 Ballmer 的捐贈無法取代所有損失的資金,但這是加強 NPR 財務未來的重大一步。這筆捐款專門用於幫助 NPR 在各平台進行數位轉型,以滿足公共媒體受眾的需求並服務其利益。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

200萬美元贖金與加密安全恐慌——深入Vercel遭駭內幕

TLDR Vercel 證實其內部系統遭到未經授權的存取,起因是受損的第三方 AI 工具 Context.ai 一名在 BreachForums 上的駭客正以 200 萬美元的價格出售竊取的 Vercel 數據,其中包括 API 金鑰和原始碼 許多 Web3 專案在 Vercel 上託管錢包介面和應用程式前端,引發了暴露風險的擔憂 Solana DEX Orca 已更換所有部署憑證作為預防措施;其鏈上資金未受影響 Vercel 表示「敏感」環境變數已加密,且沒有證據顯示其已被存取 (SeaPRwire) -   網路基礎設施公司 Vercel 於週日證實了一起安全漏洞,此前攻擊者獲得了其內部系統部分區域的未經授權存取。該公司表示,受影響的客戶數量有限,且其服務仍維持運作。 此次漏洞始於一名 Vercel 員工的帳戶。該帳戶是透過該員工使用的第三方 AI 工具 Context.ai 遭到入侵。攻擊者隨後透過該員工的 Google Workspace 帳戶進入 Vercel 的內部環境。 Vercel 執行長 Guillermo Rauch 形容攻擊者「非常老練」,並表示他們的行動迅速且對 Vercel 的系統有深入了解。他補充說,他懷疑 AI 可能協助了攻擊者加快行動速度。 這是我就正在進行的事件調查向廣大社群提供的最新資訊。我想直接向各位說明情況。 一名 Vercel 員工因其使用的名為 https://t.co/xksNNigVfE 的 AI 平台客戶端遭到入侵而受損。細節如下…… — Guillermo Rauch (@rauchg) April 19, 2026 Rauch 證實所有客戶環境變數均以加密方式儲存。然而,未標記為「敏感」的變數可能會被攻擊者列舉。他建議客戶檢查其環境變數,並更換任何未被標記為敏感的變數。 網路犯罪論壇 BreachForums 上的一篇貼文(與名為 ShinyHunters 的組織有關)聲稱正以 200 萬美元出售 Vercel 數據。該清單包括存取金鑰、原始碼、資料庫記錄和內部部署權杖。這些說法尚未得到獨立證實。與 ShinyHunters 組織有關的成員已否認參與。 為什麼加密貨幣專案處於警覺狀態 Vercel 在 Web3 領域被廣泛使用。構建去中心化應用程式、錢包介面和 DEX 前端的團隊經常在 Vercel 上進行託管,並將憑證儲存在環境變數中。這一層的漏洞可能會暴露將前端連接到區塊鏈數據提供商和後端服務的 API 金鑰。 基於 Solana 的去中心化交易所 Orca 證實其前端在 Vercel 上運行。該專案表示,作為預防措施,已更換了所有部署憑證,且其鏈上協議和用戶資金並無風險。 在軟體社群中廣受關注的開發者 Theo Browne 表示,他的消息來源指出 Vercel 內部的 Linear 和 GitHub 整合是受影響最嚴重的系統。 Google 的 Mandiant 團隊正在協助 Vercel 進行調查。Vercel 表示,也已聯繫 Context.ai 以協助確定漏洞的完整範圍。 四月對加密貨幣安全來說是艱難的一個月 Vercel 漏洞發生在該產業的一段艱難時期。Kelp DAO 的 rsETH 代幣遭到 2.92 億美元的漏洞利用,導致包括 Aave 在內的 DeFi 借貸平台出現大範圍中斷。 4 月早些時候,基於 Solana 的永續合約協議 Drift 被盜取了約 2.85 億美元,隨後該攻擊被認為與北韓相關人士有關。 本月受到打擊的其他協議包括 CoW Swap、Zerion、Rhea Finance 和 Silo Finance。 Vercel 表示調查仍在進行中,並將隨著更多資訊的發布更新其安全公告。截至發稿時,尚無主要加密貨幣專案公開證實 Vercel 已就該漏洞與其聯繫。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

凱文·沃爾什迎來關鍵時刻:他可能如何著手推銷降息主張 這需要運用一些複雜的經濟論證操作

(SeaPRwire) -   明天上午10點,凱文·沃爾什(Kevin Warsh)競逐聯準會(Federal Reserve)領導職位的公開競選活動將正式展開。到目前為止,市場、決策者和經濟學家只能對沃爾什的展望和方法進行猜測。但本週,自川普總統確認他的提名以來,他的想法將首次公開呈現在參議院銀行委員會面前供其審視。最令人擔憂的問題將是沃爾什向白宮做出了哪些承諾,或者他是否做出了任何承諾。在人們對中央銀行獨立性(沃爾什一再表示他認為這一點至關重要)表示擔憂之際,官員們將熱切希望了解這位準主席將如何平衡他對降息的鴿派傾向與當前通膨的經濟前景。川普已經明確表示,只有願意比現任主席鮑爾(Jerome Powell)更快降息的人才能獲得他的支持。然而,數據顯示反對降息的論點越來越站不住腳,因為最新的消費者物價指數(CPI)報告顯示,由於石油和天然氣的供應壓力,通膨正在上升。目前通膨率已超過3%,遠高於聯準會設定的2%目標。 那麼,沃爾什如何才能在不顯得無視聯準會的優先事項而迎合白宮的情況下,為鴿派的基準利率立場辯護呢?一種可能的論點是,要拉開視角,要記住聯準會不僅有雙重目標,還有三重目標,並要全面看待經濟狀況。 理論上,聯邦公開市場委員會(Federal Open Market Committee)設定的短期利率會影響借貸利率:降低短期利率可以通過降低貸款成本來刺激經濟活動——無論是企業投資、消費者支出還是抵押貸款。 實際上,短期利率已經與實體經濟的利率脫鉤。正如摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)在10月份觀察到的那樣,儘管正在進行降息週期,「抵押貸款利率與新抵押貸款利率之間的利差超過2%,為40年來最高,這表明可能需要進一步降息來刺激住房活動。」 相比之下,長期收益率(以及因此的利率)在2026年相對較高。這些利率由市場設定,反映了投資者對通膨、增長和政府債務供應的預期。最近,10年期和30年期國債收益率均有所上升(儘管未超過歷史正常水平),這表明在抵押貸款、企業借貸和股票估值等實體經濟領域,金融條件正在悄然收緊。 如果沃爾什認為長端收益率的收緊可以通過短端收益率的降低來抵消,他可以引用一個近期例子:在美國和以色列襲擊伊朗後,近幾個月的收緊趨勢更加明顯。10年期國債收益率在2月初約為4%,到3月底飆升至4.44%。30年期國債收益率也同樣走高:從2月初的4.63%上升到撰寫本文時的4.9%。 鑑於長期利率直接影響實體經濟,一位鴿派的央行官員可能會主張降低基準利率——不是為了直接刺激需求,而是為了防止由債券市場本身造成的意外緊縮,即使短端降息無法完全抵消長端收益率的緊縮。 這個論點也巧妙地與聯準會經常被遺忘的第三個目標聯繫起來。聯邦公開市場委員會成員史蒂芬·米蘭(Stephen Miran)在去年接受參議院銀行委員會審查時回憶了1970年代的《聯邦儲備法案》:「國會明智地賦予聯準會追求物價穩定、充分就業和溫和長期利率的任務。」如果市場驅動的長期利率上升收緊了金融條件,這本身就構成了一個政策問題,有理由在短端降息以抵消任何緊縮,從而使借貸成本大致保持穩定。 資產負債表論點 另一個關於資產負債表的經濟學上的腦力體操來自沃爾什對資產負債表的看法。沃爾什希望削減目前價值6.7萬億美元的資產負債表,這恰好提供了另一個關於降息的巧妙論點,而不會引起對聯準會獨立性問題的警報。 正如哥倫比亞大學商學院教授馬一鳴(Yiming Ma)在2月份與的談話中所解釋的那樣:「人們常常認為:『哦,經濟狀況、通膨預期和失業率決定了利率,而資產負債表的規模則無關緊要。』 「但在實踐中,提高利率是(經濟)緊縮,而縮減央行資產負債表的規模也是一種緊縮形式(因為它也會提高利率)。而且這種相互作用的程度很難估計,但可以廣泛地認為,如果聯準會資產負債表的規模較小,系統中的流動性就會減少,這將減輕通膨壓力。所以從某種意義上說,較小的資產負債表可以承受較低的利率。」 儘管白宮施壓要求盡快降息,但這一潛在立場並非一個可以立即採用的論點。然而,如果沃爾什獲得確認,他在聯準會的任期將會持續到本屆政府之後:他的鴿派傾向可能會超越目前的預期,並成為下一個聯準會時代的特徵。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Henry Tang, President of The Legion d’Honneur Club, calls for international cooperation to overcome rising protectionism

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Henry Tang said today at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium organised by The Legion d’Honneur Club that rising geopolitical tensions and protectionism reinforce the need to build a community with a shared future for mankind—a call made by the Chinese Mainland in which Hong Kong has an important role to play.The Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter). The Legion d’Honneur is the highest and most prestigious civilian and military honour of France, instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 and conferred by the President of France to recognise outstanding service or acts of bravery.The inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium, titled Regional Exchange and Institutional Cohesion, was held today. Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government, Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur, and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, officiated at the event. In addition, Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, shared with participants, including representatives from Australia, France, the Philippines, and Thailand, the development of Hong Kong as an international financial centre. (Photo 1, 2 & 3)In the welcome remarks, Henry Tang said that Hong Kong’s strength lies in international exchange and cooperation. Hong Kong has long been a staunch advocate of multilateralism as well as open and free economy. The city’s legal and financial infrastructure aligns with international standards. Under the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”, Hong Kong stands as an international financial centre and a global hub for business and culture, championing diversity, openness, and inclusion.He added that Hong Kong’s future brings vast opportunities. The National 15th Five-Year Plan clearly mandates that Hong Kong maintains its status as an international financial centre while developing an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange and an international I&T hub. Strategically located at the southeastern tip of China and serving as a pivotal gateway between China and the rest of the world, Hong Kong will certainly benefit from the development of our motherland.The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to deepen cooperation with its French counterparts—especially the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong & Macau—to pursue joint efforts in education, science, and culture, said Henry Tang, to enrich public life.He concluded that the true legacy of the Legion d’Honneur is not the medals they wear, but the trust they build. The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to serve as a dynamic global stage where that trust is translated into tangible action and meaningful impact.20 April 2026Photo 1: (From left to right) Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter); Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur; Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government; Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter), and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau.Photo 2: The Legion d’Honneur Club holds its first Asia-Pacific Symposium today, attended by Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (second right); Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government (fourth right); Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau (first right); Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (first left); Councillors of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter): David Li (third right); Michael Kadoorie (third left), and Christopher Cheng (second left).Photo 3: (From left to right) Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, and Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter).About The Legion d’Honneur ClubThe Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of The Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter).

Vegangster Integrates JackpotX Across Five Brands, Achieves 25% Opt-In Rate.

(AsiaGameHub) -   Vegangster has broadened its collaboration with Shared Luck through the implementation of JackpotX, a player-funded jackpot network now active on five of its client brands. Initial data indicates an approximate 25% average opt-in rate, as players actively select to participate using a straightforward toggle switch. In these implementations, JackpotX operates as a player-funded mechanism, where a small part of each player's activity feeds into a communal prize pool. This generates an ever-increasing jackpot that operates concurrently with regular play, introducing a constant incentive to bet without disrupting the primary game. This approach differs from conventional fixed or operator-funded jackpots by scaling directly with player engagement. The more players join, the larger the prize becomes, which in turn enhances its prominence and player involvement. For casino operators, the integration adds a powerful retention and revenue tool directly linked to player traffic. Since the jackpot is financed by gameplay itself, it lessens the need for significant upfront marketing investment while still fostering a compelling cycle of engagement. Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, commented: “The key advantage of JackpotX is its adaptability. Operators can manage jackpots across multiple brands and customize their functionality, all with access to real-time data. This enabled us to adopt a player-funded model that enhances engagement without requiring extra budget from the operator.” The integration demands little ongoing operational effort and can be rolled out across different brands easily, enabling operators to rapidly launch engagement features powered by jackpots. With JackpotX now operational and expanding, Vegangster and Shared Luck intend to deepen their partnership, concentrating on more advanced gamification features and a broader deployment throughout Vegangster's client network. About SharedLuck SharedLuck develops engagement infrastructure for the online casino industry. Its flagship product, JackpotX, offers versatile jackpot setup, management for multiple brands, live analytics, and tools designed to improve player retention and boost total casino earnings. About Vegangster Vegangster delivers a comprehensive iGaming platform built for high performance, scalability, and operator autonomy.
