EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dutch student team Solar Team Eindhoven has announced a new concept for sustainable medical mobility: Stella Juva. The team aims to make medical care accessible in regions where infrastructure and fuel supply are limited. 

Care without borders or fuel 

Stella Juva is the world’s first ambulance designed to run entirely on solar energy while also powering all onboard medical equipment. The vehicle is officially presented on 21 July 2026. The concept offers a direct alternative for regions where fuel or electricity shortages currently restrict access to healthcare. A full project overview, including photography, is available on the Tuningsupply project page. 

Proven technology from Eindhoven 

The team builds on a strong innovation record: the students from Eindhoven have won the Cruiser Class of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge four consecutive times in Australia. The expertise for Stella Juva also draws on projects such as Stella Terra, the world’s first off-road solar vehicle, which completed more than 1,000 km across Morocco. 

“What makes this project strong is that we can build on existing expertise from European specialists,” says Steven Swinkels, Technical & Event Manager at Solar Team Eindhoven. “We work with local specialist partners, including the Dutch company Tuningsupply, which is responsible for supplying critical Wilwood braking and vehicle-control components. This allows us to develop technology that is ready for practical deployment.”

MUNICH, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In his speech at the industry convention in Munich, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, Steven Zhou, said the company’s strategic focus on grid-forming, integrated solutions that reinforce grid stability to support high renewable penetration in Europe. 

In Europe, the penetration of wind and solar is expected to reach 64% by 2030. At the same time, the power system is facing challenges – such as reduced grid resilience and weakened system strength – due to high dispatching complexity and the declining share of traditional synchronous generators. 

In response, European markets are increasing grid investment, scaling up grid-forming BESS deployment, developing new grid codes that include grid-forming requirements, and accelerating the shifting of power market from simple energy arbitrage to diversified grid ancillary services. In his speech at The Smarter E 2026, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, Steven Zhou, said these actions send a clear signal that “future PV and BESS products must evolve to become primary power source.” 

As new energy technologies have developed into a primary power source, the industry has entered a period of active innovation, transitioning from single-point innovation to integrated innovation. Thanks to their grid-forming capability, hybrid PV-BESS solutions are accelerating the replacement of traditional thermal power plants. Key grid-forming functions – such as black start, inertia support, and short-circuit current support – have been fully validated under all operating conditions and timeframes in the power system, with the technical system becoming increasingly refined. 

In his speech, Zhou recounted how Huawei’s strategic direction developed in response to the evolution of the grid. “Back in 2020, we introduced LUNA, the industry’s first smart string energy storage system,” said Zhou. “Named after the moon, LUNA was designed to watch over the night, ensuring that clean power no longer ends at sunset. And as you know, our solar inverter is named SUN. Rooted in the sun, it powers the day.” Zhou said the role of energy storage has been redefined to guarantee the stability of the entire grid and announced that Huawei has officially upgraded the LUNA brand to LUTERRA. “LUTERRA draws its name from ‘Terra’ – the Earth. We are moving from lighting up the night, to protecting our planet.” 

Tying into the company’s new Smart PV Strategy, Huawei is leveraging its advantages in the integration of 4T (Bit, Watt, Heat, Battery) foundational technologies to continuously innovate, with the goal of accelerating the construction of a modern power system, including solutions for all user segments and scenarios. In his speech at The Smarter E 2026, Zhou also detailed highlights of C&I projects in Europe using the company’s one-fits-all solution that integrates PV, BESS, EV chargers, and AI scheduling. For example, in Germany, AHS business park has achieved a 10% increase in revenue after just two years of operation of a Huawei one-fits-all solution, and in Spain, Zhou noted, “the electricity bill of a Carrefour supermarket is reduced by almost 40% and the payback period is only five years.” 

Huawei is positioning itself for the evolution of the electricity market. Zhou explained, “In the future, the business models for BESS will become more diversified… Based on flexible hardware and software evolving capability, Huawei’s one-match-all platform can adapt to all different business models and maximize benefits.” 

With demonstrations across the world – from Spain to Mongolia, and Germany to the Philippines – proving the value proposition of Huawei’s grid-forming technology, Zhou says the company’s core competences “will empower our full-scenario Smart PV and BESS solutions, to bring maximum value for our customers while reinforcing grid stability in high renewable penetration.”

AMSTERDAM, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This fall, ARTIS will present a new commissioned installation by internationally renowned artist Olafur Eliasson in the new ARTIS-Aquarium. For the monumental rotunda, Eliasson is creating a multisensory artwork that invites visitors to engage with the deep sea: a place where almost no one has been. 

‘As you approach Deep seeing currents, you are slowly enveloped by darkness and the sounds of life underwater, layers of oceanic cacophony – whale songs, rumbling of hydrothermal vents, and human-made noises, among others. The vibrations can be felt throughout your entire body, emulating the experience of pressure in the deep sea. Above and around you, lights flash and seem to descend like the hypnotic circulation of marine snow, the organic and inorganic particles essential to life in the deep sea,’ says the artist. He also states: ‘I believe that limiting one sense can help us unlock the other senses, which is key to conjuring this unimaginable environment.’   

Art, science and nature convergeWith this installation, ARTIS connects art, science and nature. Through sound, light, and touch, Deep seeing currents make the alien environment of the deep sea physically conceivable within the rotunda of the Aquarium. The work aligns seamlessly with the core of the new Aquarium, which lets visitors experience how everything on Earth is connected to water, from the deepest ocean to daily life on land. 

The new ARTIS-AquariumThe ARTIS-Aquarium, an iconic national monument, based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, dating from 1882, has undergone extensive restoration in recent years and will reopen to the public in June 2026. The new Aquarium is not only a place for aquatic life, but also a museum environment where architecture, installations, science and art come together to tell a new story about the relationship between humans, water and nature. One of the oldest aquariums in the world has been transformed into a contemporary cultural experience. With the addition of Eliasson’s installation, the Aquarium gains a new dimension, where wonder, experience, and urgency converge. 

Olafur Eliasson’s installation will be on view from October 3, 2026 

Made possible in part by the Mondriaan Fund.

Una delle conferme più attese da tutto il popolo orange quella dell’attaccante classe ’97, vero e proprio beniamino della tifoseria poiché figlio di questa città e capocannoniere della passata stagione. Fin dalle prime battute della scorsa annata, Russo si è contraddistinto per il suo devastante istinto da goleador, che lo ha portato a realizzare 16 gol e fornire 6 assist in 38 presenze ufficiali. Numeri che, considerando l’intera carriera, si aggiungono a statistiche individuali di prim’ordine: 323 presenze ufficiali – di cui oltre 230 in serie D e 91 in serie C – condite da 96 gol e 33assist. Quanto al palmarès, la Coppa Italia di serie D vinta in orange nella passata stagione si aggiunge ai due campionati di serie D conquistati con San Donato Tavarnelle (2021-22) e Livorno (2024-25), oltre al titolo di capocannoniere del girone E di serie D con il club gialloblù (20 gol). Russo è pronto a trascinare la Pistoiese anche per la prossima stagione. 

Parallelamente, il club comunica che anche il portiere Nicolas Giuliani continuerà a difendere la porta per la stagione 2026-27. In prestito dal Pisa, il classe 2007 proseguirà la sua esperienza al Melani dando seguito a quanto di buono fatto vedere nel passato campionato. Fin dalle prime uscite dopo il suo arrivo a Pistoia, infatti, Giuliani ha risposto presente con personalità e costanza, mettendosi in mostra come uno dei portieri più talentosi dell’intero panorama italiano. Tra tutte le competizioni sono state 36 le sue presenze ufficiali, impreziosite da ben 18 match con la porta inviolata – con l’incredibile media di 1 clean sheet ogni 2 partite – e gesti tecnici degni di nota. Giuliani è pronto ora a difendere i pali della porta arancione per la seconda stagione consecutiva.

La Pistoiese ha inoltre raggiunto l’accordo con l’Hellas Verona per il trasferimento a titolo definitivo del calciatore Davide Costa Pisani. Arrivato in arancione nell’estate del 2025 grazie alla lungimirante intuizione del direttore Massimo Taibi, Davide si è immediatamente distinto per qualità tecniche, personalità e dedizione al lavoro. Durante la sua esperienza con la maglia della Pistoiese ha proseguito con continuità il proprio percorso di crescita, mettendosi in mostra con prestazioni di assoluto livello che gli sono valse l’attenzione di un club prestigioso come l’Hellas Verona. La società ha ringraziato Davide Costa Pisani per l’impegno, la professionalità e l’attaccamento dimostrati durante la sua esperienza in arancione, e gli augura le migliori fortune personali e professionali per il prosieguo della carriera in un club prestigioso come l’Hellas Verona.

In particolare, l’interruzione della connessione internet ha avuto ripercussioni sugli esami Tac e sul servizio Cup, compromettendo temporaneamente le attività di prenotazione delle visite e di scelta o revoca del medico di medicina generale. Per limitare i disagi, il personale amministrativo ha provveduto a raccogliere tutta la documentazione presentata dagli utenti. Non appena la linea sarà ripristinata, le pratiche verranno inserite nel sistema informatico e i cittadini saranno ricontattati direttamente, evitando così un ulteriore accesso agli sportelli.

La direzione, pur consapevole dei disagi, rassicura la cittadinanza che l’assistenza sanitaria ai pazienti ricoverati o che accedono per le urgenze, continua a essere garantita.

Nato a Siena il 13 aprile 2009, di ruolo playmaker, Mario ha mosso i primi passi nel mondo della pallacanestro al Valdelsa Basket, società che lo ha cresciuto cestisticamente fino ai 14 anni. Dopodiché, ecco che il talento toscano si è trasferito alla Dolomiti Energia Trento. Nel gennaio 2025, a soli 15 anni, Mario ha fatto il proprio debutto in prima squadra, scendendo in campo in Eurocup. In questo modo, è diventato il terzo giocatore più giovane di sempre ad aver esordito in una competizione internazionale di basket. Al termine della stagione 2024/25 si è laureato campione d’Italia con l’Under 17 Eccellenza di Trento. Con la Nazionale Under 16 ha concluso al quarto posto l’Europeo di categoria del 2025, mentre recentemente ha partecipato al mondiale under 17 con gli Azzurri.

L’arrivo di Mario è figlio della collaborazione fra Pistoia Basket 2000 e Dany Basket Quarrata. Con i biancoblu, infatti, avrà modo di misurarsi nel campionato di Serie B Nazionale.

“Siamo molto contenti che un ragazzo talentoso come Mario abbia deciso di continuare il suo percorso di crescita con noi e con il Dany Basket Quarrata – sottolinea Cristiano Biagini, responsabile del settore giovanile del Pistoia Basket 2000 – Parliamo di un ragazzo che seguivo da tempo e che ho provato a portare a Pistoia anche in passato. Non appena si è creata questa opportunità ne abbiamo approfittato”.

Esprime tutta la propria soddisfazione anche il direttore sportivo biancoblu Marco Nannini. “Quella per l’arrivo di Mario è una delle operazioni che ci soddisfa di più, poiché fatta in totale simbiosi con il Pistoia Basket 2000. Ci siamo aggiudicati uno dei talenti più promettenti del panorama nazionale, che di fronte a sé ha sicuramente un futuro luminoso. Fra le tantissime proposte sul tavolo, Mario ha scelto Pistoia e Quarrata: questo deve inorgoglirci. Siamo certi che possa già recitare un ruolo importante in Serie B Nazionale, nonostante la giovanissima età”.

Queste le prime impressioni di Mario Machetti: “Grazie alla collaborazione in atto fra il Pistoia Basket 2000 e il Dany Basket Quarrata, potrò proseguire al meglio la mia crescita. La Serie B Nazionale è un campionato impegnativo e sono consapevole che ci potranno essere dei momenti di difficoltà, ma sono pronto a mettermi in gioco e a lavorare duramente per migliorarmi”

L’evento proporrà un percorso gastronomico interamente dedicato al vitello paesano di razza Marchigiana, protagonista di ricette tipiche preparate secondo la tradizione sannita, affiancato da prodotti del territorio, vini locali e specialità artigianali. 

Ma la sagra non sarà soltanto cucina. Il programma prevede anche momenti di intrattenimento, musica, convivialità e occasioni di incontro che trasformano Pago Veiano, per due serate, in un punto di ritrovo per visitatori provenienti da tutta la Campania e dalle regioni limitrofe. 

Il tema scelto per questa edizione – “Cultura, Gusto e Tradizioni” – sintetizza lo spirito di una manifestazione che punta a valorizzare non soltanto il patrimonio enogastronomico, ma anche l’identità culturale di un territorio ricco di storia e vocazione agricola. 

Negli ultimi anni le sagre autenticamente legate alle produzioni locali stanno vivendo una crescente attenzione da parte del turismo esperienziale, sempre più orientato verso eventi che raccontano l’identità dei territori attraverso i sapori, le produzioni agricole e le tradizioni popolari. In questo contesto, la Sagra del Vitello Paesano di Pago Veiano si conferma tra gli appuntamenti più rappresentativi del Sannio.

Domenica 26 luglio 2026 il Podere 676 Birrificio Agricolo, a Testa di Lepre (Fiumicino), inaugura Groovin’ Farm, un nuovo format estivo che unisce musica, natura, birra agricola e convivialità. Dalle 18:30 fino a tarda sera, il luppoleto del birrificio diventerà il palcoscenico di un evento gratuito, con prenotazione obbligatoria, organizzato insieme alle community Joina, Giàlosai.off e al DJ Marco Merisi. 

L’obiettivo è offrire un’esperienza immersiva dove agricoltura, cultura del territorio e musica open air si incontrano in uno degli scenari più suggestivi della campagna romana. 

Nel periodo in cui il luppoleto raggiunge il suo massimo splendore, con le piante che superano i cinque metri d’altezza e i coni pronti per la raccolta, il Podere 676 apre le porte al pubblico per un appuntamento che celebra il legame tra terra, produzione agricola e socialità. 

Groovin’ Farm nasce come un format dedicato a chi desidera vivere un’estate diversa dal solito, lontano dal caos cittadino e immerso nel verde, tra birra agricola, street food, musica elettronica e tramonti nella natura. 

L’evento è a ingresso gratuito, con prenotazione obbligatoria per garantire una migliore organizzazione e contingentare gli accessi. 

Situato a Testa di Lepre, Fiumicino, il Podere 676 rappresenta una realtà unica nel panorama brassicolo laziale. 

Qui la birra nasce direttamente dalla terra: una parte delle materie prime viene coltivata all’interno dell’azienda agricola, dando vita a produzioni che valorizzano il territorio e seguono una filiera agricola corta. 

Negli anni il birrificio è diventato un punto di riferimento per chi cerca esperienze autentiche tra grandi spazi verdi, cucina agricola, visite al luppoleto ed eventi dedicati alla convivialità. 

Non a caso il progetto è sintetizzato dallo slogan: 

“Campagna, Birra e Convivialità”.
 

Groovin’ Farm nasce dalla collaborazione tra quattro realtà accomunate dalla volontà di creare nuove occasioni di incontro. 

Tra i protagonisti della serata ci sarà Joina, community che organizza esperienze social e aperitivi pensati per favorire nuove conoscenze in location selezionate. 

La colonna sonora sarà affidata a Giàlosai.off, format romano specializzato in eventi musicali open air dedicati alla musica elettronica, ormai conosciuto per aver animato alcune delle location più suggestive della Capitale. 

In console salirà anche DJ Marco Merisi, musicista, produttore e DJ romano con una lunga esperienza nella scena musicale italiana. 

L’appuntamento prenderà il via alle 18:30, quando il tramonto inizierà a colorare il luppoleto del Podere 676. 

Gli ospiti potranno scegliere tra due diverse aree: 

Con il calare del sole il palco immerso nella campagna diventerà il cuore dell’evento, accompagnando il pubblico fino a tarda sera con DJ set e musica open air. 

L’idea è quella di proporre un nuovo modo di vivere la campagna romana, trasformandola in uno spazio dedicato non solo alla produzione agricola, ma anche alla cultura, al divertimento e alla socializzazione. 

Tra filari di luppolo, birre agricole prodotte in azienda, cucina agricola e musica, Groovin’ Farm punta a diventare uno degli appuntamenti di riferimento dell’estate a pochi chilometri da Roma. 

Il nuovo format del Podere 676 valorizza il territorio attraverso esperienze autentiche che mettono insieme natura, comunità e qualità delle produzioni locali, offrendo un’alternativa originale ai tradizionali eventi cittadini. 

Per chi è alla ricerca di un evento estivo tra musica, buon cibo e birra artigianale in provincia di Roma, Groovin’ Farm rappresenta un’occasione unica per vivere il tramonto immersi nella campagna di Fiumicino.

I primi due appuntamenti hanno fatto registrare una buona partecipazione di pubblico, con il centro storico animato da cittadini e visitatori che hanno approfittato delle aperture serali e delle numerose iniziative in programma.

Particolarmente apprezzata si è rivelata la Notte Rossa di Avis, che si conferma uno degli appuntamenti più conosciuti e partecipati dell’estate pistoiese, capace di coniugare intrattenimento, sensibilizzazione e grande richiamo per il centro cittadino.
Positivo anche il riscontro degli operatori commerciali, che hanno registrato un buon afflusso di persone durante le serate.

“Il bilancio di queste prime settimane è molto positivo – commenta Giulia Mochi, titolare del negozio Jango 27 –. Abbiamo visto tanta gente passeggiare per il centro e molti hanno scelto di entrare nei negozi, approfittando sia dell’orario prolungato sia dei saldi. La Notte Rossa, in particolare, si conferma un evento che richiama davvero tante persone e crea un’atmosfera piacevole, dalla quale beneficia tutto il centro storico. Per noi commercianti è importante poter contare su iniziative di qualità e ben organizzate, che rendano la città viva e attrattiva.”

Concorde anche Federica Cioni, titolare del negozio Marella: “E’ stato – spiega – un buon inizio di luglio e delle aperture straordinarie. La Notte Rossa richiama sempre tante persone, il caldo ha forse anche invogliato le persone a uscire per fare due passi nelle ore più fresche della sera, abbiamo visto, infatti, molto movimento. E poi vedere durante il giorno le delegazioni di Eurogym aggirarsi per il centro ha creato un clima veramente bello e di festa”.

E a proposito di Eurogym, Percorsi Notturni proseguirà giovedì (16 luglio) proprio in concomitanza con la presenza delle delegazioni di Eurogym, manifestazione internazionale che ha coinvolto centinaia di giovani provenienti da diversi paesi. Giovedì 23 e giovedì 30 luglio protagonista sempre lo sport con le associazioni e le palestre locali offrendo spettacolo e animazione per tutte le età.

“Le prime due serate – aggiunge Confcommercio Pistoia-Prato – confermano un dato importante: quando il centro storico propone un’offerta coordinata e di qualità, le persone rispondono con entusiasmo.  La Notte Rossa di Avis ha dimostrato ancora una volta il valore di un appuntamento ormai consolidato, capace di richiamare pubblico e di dare vitalità alla città. Il calendario di Percorsi Notturni ci dimostra quanto sia importante costruire una programmazione continuativa e occasioni per scegliere il centro di Pistoia, non solo in occasione dei grandi eventi, ma durante tutta l’estate”.

HONG KONG SAR – 
Media OutReach Newswire
 – 13 July 2026 – The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has signed a tripartite strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Paris with globally renowned Dassault Systèmes and PAIEvo (HK) Limited (PAIEvo), a fully owned subsidiary of XtalPi Holdings Limited (XtalPi) listed in Hong Kong, to jointly promote collaboration in research innovation and talent development. This partnership marks an important milestone in PolyU’s development and underscores the University’s active role in fostering cross-continental collaboration to advance innovation and technology in Hong Kong, the Nation and the world. It also highlights the University’s international strategy to develop overseas innovation and entrepreneurship hubs, with Paris as its first foothold in Europe. 

The signing ceremony was held earlier at Dassault Systèmes’ Paris-area headquarters. Witnessed by Prof. Christopher CHAO, Senior Vice President (Research and Innovation) of PolyU; Mr Nicolas JEANNEE, Vice President 3DEXPERIENCE Edu of Dassault Systèmes; and Dr Kevin TSAI, Vice President of XtalPi and CEO of PAIEvo, the MoU was signed by Prof. Zijian ZHENG, Vice President (Knowledge Transfer) of PolyU; Ms Joanne LI, 3DEXPERIENCE Edu Sales Director of China, Dassault Systèmes;and Ms Ruyu WANG, Senior Director of External Affairs and Communications of XtalPi. 

Under the collaborative framework, the three parties will jointly pursue a range of initiatives, including advancing the digitalisation of smart laboratories, expanding research and development (R&D) in new materials, developing proprietary computing capabilities and molecular simulation tools, building an ecosystem for new substance discovery, and nurturing relevant professional talent. 

Prof. Christopher Chao remarked, “PolyU has been strengthening its research and knowledge transfer strategy in recent years, from establishing a robust network of Mainland Translational Research Institutes (MTRIs), setting up the incubation centres, InnoHubs, across Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, to progressively expanding our global footprint by building overseas innovation hubs, with Paris serving as our first stop in Europe. Meanwhile, we proactively align our research with industry demands, with market-oriented innovation at its core. This is the foundation of our close partnership with Dassault Systèmes. By bringing together the distinctive strengths of the three parties, this partnership enables us to fully leverage cross-sector and cross-border synergies among academia, research and industry. It will not only advance our respective development but also bring tangible benefits to society.” 

Welcoming the delegations, Mr Nicolas Jeannée described the meeting as “highly meaningful”. He said, “This partnership connects not only Hong Kong and France, but also academia and industry. From the establishment of the Center of Excellence in 2025 to Dassault Systèmes’ official presence in Hong Kong in 2026, our collaboration with PolyU has continued to reach new heights. We look forward to working closely with our partners to generate more innovative outcomes and contribute to global digital transformation.” 

Dr Kevin Tsai stated, “This strategic collaboration, formed through our subsidiary PAIEvo with Dassault Systèmes and PolyU, marks another important step for XtalPi’s journey toward the ‘Lab of the Future’. By integrating the strengths of the three parties in intelligent decision-making and Physical AI, virtual twin modelling, and cross-disciplinary academic research, we aim to accelerate the development of a self-learning closed loop encompassing intelligent design, physical experimentation, digital simulation and innovative applications, thereby advancing the R&D paradigm toward autonomous discovery.” 

As a subsidiary of XtalPi, PAIEvo leverages XtalPi’s AI for Science platform, built on quantum physics, AI, and robotic experimentation, to systematically extend its proven R&D capabilities and technology strengths into key scenarios of new materials R&D. Dassault Systèmes, meanwhile, creates virtual worlds through its 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock-Up and Product Lifecycle Management solutions, reshaping the way products are designed, manufactured and supported. 

The University’s collaboration with Dassault Systèmes began in 2003. What started as a software licensing relationship has gradually developed into a comprehensive and multi-layered partnership embracing research and talent development. Last year, this partnership reached a new milestone with the establishment of the Dassault Systèmes–PolyU Center of Excellence, the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region. Combining PolyU expertise in AI, robotics and materials innovation with Dassault Systèmes leadership in virtual twin technologies, the Center has laid a solid foundation for the company’s expansion in Hong Kong and has become an important platform for driving innovation in ‘AI + materials’ and ‘AI + virtual twin’. 

The PolyU-Dassault Systèmes partnership also demonstrates the University’s proactive role in helping attract internationally renowned enterprises and talent to Hong Kong. Through the support of the HKSAR Government’s Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES), and with PolyU’s recommendation and support, Dassault Systèmes was selected as one of OASES’ sixth batch of 22 strategic enterprises, officially establishing its presence in Hong Kong and expanding its local operations. PolyU will continue to support Dassault Systèmes development in Hong Kong by strengthening links between the “AI + manufacturing” innovation ecosystems of Hong Kong and France, while also leveraging its strong network of translational research institutes and centres in the Chinese Mainland to facilitate the company’s further expansion there. 

During its visit to Dassault Systèmes, the PolyU delegation toured “The Playground”, an immersive experience space showcasing innovative technologies and live demonstrations powered by the company’s 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The delegation also visited the company’s 3DEXPERIENCE Lab to learn more about the innovative products and solutions developed by startups nurtured by Dassault Systèmes. The three parties additionally held in-depth exchanges and discussions on the practical implementation of their future collaboration.

Media OutReach Newswire
 – 14 July 2026 – Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited (“HML”) is celebrating the highly successful conclusion of LEAP East 2026—the historic Asian debut of Saudi Arabia’s premier technology conference brand, LEAP. 

Three More Years of Innovation: LEAP East ONLY in Hong Kong. 

Staged over three days at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (“HKCEC”), the inaugural event utilised over 35,000 square meters of rentable space across Hall 1 and Hall 3. Positioned right on the Victoria Harbour waterfront, the landmark summit served as a global bridge, bringing 300 startups and 600 investors—collectively representing more than US$6.5 trillion in assets under management—under one roof. 

HML is delighted to have welcomed the first flagship edition of LEAP ever held outside the Middle East, celebrating its conclusion as Hong Kong’s largest-ever inaugural technology event. The summit’s drawing power was significant, attracting over 25,000 professionals, policymakers, and investors, with a mix of 55% international and Chinese Mainland and 45% local participation. 

Ms Monica Lee-Müller, Managing Director of HML, commented, “The resounding success of LEAP East perfectly demonstrates Hong Kong’s strategic role as a ‘super-connector’ and ‘super value-adder’ bridging economies, innovation, capital, and cultures. We are deeply grateful for the close collaboration between governments of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which made this milestone possible. This year, HML has welcomed major Asian debuts or city’s first-ever events with tremendous success. These events have shown a strong desire to return to the HKCEC next year with larger floor space, bigger crowds, and even bolder ideas—and I am absolutely delighted that LEAP East is among them.” 

Ms Lee-Müller added, “In support of Hong Kong’s strategic development plans, HML will continue to position the HKCEC as a leading platform where diverse industries can demonstrate latest achievements, exchange insights and unlock new opportunities. Through our world-class facilities and professional services, the HKCEC plays a pivotal role in reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as the premier Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions (MICE) hub in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The venue also serves as a gateway for enterprises from the Chinese Mainland to connect with international partners and engage with global business community. Simultaneously, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences for visitors of all cultures. Our proactive efforts to introduce Muslim-friendly facilities and services have earned the HKCEC the distinction of being the first venue accredited as a Gold-standard Muslim-Friendly MICE Venue—contributing to the success of LEAP East.” 

Ms Annabelle Mander, Executive Vice President of Tahaluf and co-creator of LEAP, commented, “LEAP East is far more than just an event; it is a bridge to the wider technology ecosystem. We see immense synergies between Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong, particularly in their shared ambitions and thriving technology hubs across AI, FinTech, and beyond.

Χρήμα: Greek for “Money” 

NICOSIA, Cyprus, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Xryma Plc (the “Company”) (Euronext Paris: XRY); (ISIN: CY0200861017), a banktech group providing regulated cross-border open banking, international transactional banking and real-time EU and UK payment services, whilst also independently offering banking software and technology to third party banks and Financial Institutions (FIs), is pleased to announce that its competent authority, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (“CySEC”), has approved the prospectus prepared in connection with the admission of the Company’s ordinary shares to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris Stock Exchange, with trading expected to commence at market open on the 24th July 2026. The prospectus will now be passported to France via the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). 

Subject to Euronext Paris’ approval to admit Xryma Plc to the list, 110,079,450 ordinary shares will be quoted in Euro € under the ticker symbol “XRY”. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and final approvals, 24th July 2026 has been set as the expected first day of trading on the Euronext Paris Stock Exchange. 

The admission will take the form of a technical (direct) listing. No new shares will be issued, no existing shares are being offered for sale by the Company, and no capital will be raised in connection with the admission. 

Since its founding, Xryma Plc has built a comprehensive, 7 years continuously profitable, regulated payments platform that simplifies how merchants accept, move and settle money, across multiple payment channels, through a single connection. The expected listing marks a significant milestone in the Company’s development and reflects the scale the Xryma Group has reached as an infrastructure-led, regulated banktech business. 

The Xryma Group operates a scalable business model generating fee-based, transaction-driven revenue of €53.4 million in FY25 (including other income). In the same period, the Xryma Group handled approximately €4.0 billion in own processing volume, while its Probanx® software services subsidiary processed €206.7 billion in SaaS volume on behalf of customer banks and FIs, monetised through software licensing rather than regulated product transactional fees. 

Takis Taoushanis, Non-Executive Chairman of Xryma Plc, said: 

“The approval of our Company’s prospectus for admission to trading on Euronext Paris represents a significant achievement in our corporate journey. The Board of Directors has overseen a rigorous preparation process, and the transparency and governance disciplines of a leading European regulated market are aligned with the standards under which the Xryma Group already operates.” 

“This development is expected to strengthen our market position, support the continued expansion of our product portfolio, and create long-term value for our customers, partners, employees and shareholders. It also underscores Cyprus’ growing role as an international business hub with global reach, supported by a professional services ecosystem that enables well-governed businesses to operate and grow across international markets.” 

Nikogiannis (John) Karantzis, Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Xryma Plc, said: 

“Xryma Plc moves money across central banks, bank-to-bank, correspondent banks, ACH network, electronic money, card, cash, and stablecoin rails. The Company solves many of the challenges of today’s fragmented global payments landscape. Built on a proprietary, regulated, full-stack ecosystem developed over the past 15 years, Xryma Plc is more than just a payments company. It has evolved into a deep financial infrastructure company that enables businesses to accept, move, and settle money globally through multiple payment channels on a single, unified platform.” 

“I am excited for the Company and its shareholders regarding the imminent listing on Euronext Paris, being one of the Top 5 exchange groups globally and a “premiere exchange”. This admission is expected to further open our share register to further financial institutions, who already comprise 25% of our register, as well as like-minded technology investors, who can appreciate Xryma’s unique value proposition.” 

Rationale for admission 

Admission of Xryma Plc’s shares to trading on Euronext Paris is expected to:
