Ray Dalio: Emas Adalah Uang Teraman Informasi

Ray Dalio: Emas Adalah Uang Teraman

(SeaPRwire) - Sudah lama saya mengkhawatirkan utang negara dan nilai mata uang fiat—dan telah menulis tentang bagaimana kekhawatiran ini meningkatkan daya tarik emas. Sejak pertama kali saya mengungkapkan pemikiran tersebut, harga emas telah naik banyak, jadi saya ingin membagikan apa yang saya yakini sebagai hal terpenting yang perlu diketahui tentang emas. Menurut saya, tidak dapat disangkal bahwa emas adalah uang dan merupakan uang yang paling kecil risikonya untuk didevaluasi dan/atau disita. Itulah mengapa emas telah dihargai sebagai uang selama ribuan tahun dan di hampir semua negara, sementara banyak mata uang lainnya telah datang dan pergi. Berikut adalah bagaimana emas secara historis mempertahankan nilainya—dan mengapa ia masih melakukannya. Sepanjang sejarah, semua mata uang telah menjadi mata uang yang terikat/”didukung aset keras” atau mata uang “fiat”. Nilai mata uang yang terikat, atau “didukung aset keras”, terhubung dengan emas atau sesuatu yang serupa yang terbatas pasokannya dan bernilai global, seperti perak. Mata uang ini memungkinkan orang atau pemerintah untuk menukar uang “kertas” mereka dengan emas, perak, dll. pada nilai tukar tetap. Mata uang fiat, di sisi lain, tidak terhubung atau didukung oleh apa pun, sehingga pasokannya tidak terbatas. Melihat sejarah di berbagai negara, ketika ada uang yang didukung emas dan utang yang terlalu banyak, sistem moneter runtuh. Ini terjadi karena para pemimpin negara sering kali berpegang pada komitmen untuk mendukung uang dengan emas, yang menyebabkan gagal bayar utang dan depresi deflasioner. Atau mereka melanggar komitmen mereka untuk menyerahkan emas pada harga yang dijanjikan, yang memungkinkan mereka menciptakan banyak uang dan kredit yang biasanya mendevaluasi uang dan menyebabkan inflasi yang lebih tinggi serta harga emas yang lebih tinggi. Sebelum diperkenalkannya bank sentral (pada tahun 1913 di A.S.), jalur deflasioner paling sering diikuti. Namun setelah bank sentral ada, jalur inflasioner menjadi lebih umum. Dalam kedua kasus ini, krisis utang besar terjadi dan mengurangi utang relatif terhadap pendapatan yang dibutuhkan untuk melayaninya, yang memperbaiki keadaan pada tingkat harga baru yang lebih tinggi. Inilah mengapa harga telah naik seiring waktu. Contoh paling baru dari kehancuran sistem moneter yang terhubung dengan emas adalah pada tahun 1933 dan 1971. Kita berhenti memiliki sistem moneter yang terhubung ini dan beralih ke sistem moneter fiat pada tahun 1971. Karena inilah yang kita miliki sekarang, pelajaran dari mempelajari apa yang terjadi dengan sistem fiat sebelumnya pada saat ada terlalu banyak utang relatif terhadap jumlah uang yang dibutuhkan untuk membayarnya menjadi lebih relevan dengan apa yang terjadi sekarang. Dalam kasus-kasus seperti itu, bank sentral selalu menciptakan banyak uang dan kredit, yang biasanya menyebabkan inflasi yang lebih tinggi dan harga emas yang lebih tinggi. Dalam semua kasus ini, emas berperan baik sebagai uang alternatif selain uang kertas/utang. Selama periode waktu yang lama, ia adalah uang dengan rekam jejak terbaik dalam mempertahankan daya belinya. Inilah mengapa emas kini menjadi mata uang cadangan terbesar kedua yang dipegang oleh bank sentral. Itu tidak berarti bahwa mata uang lain merupakan penyimpan kekayaan yang lebih buruk daripada emas seiring waktu. Itu karena uang kertas/utang memberikan bunga, dan emas tidak. Jadi, ketika suku bunga tinggi relatif terhadap tingkat penurunan nilai uang kertas/utang, uang kertas/utang ini memberikan pengembalian yang lebih tinggi. Permainan waktu pasar, jika seseorang memilih untuk memainkannya (dan saya menyarankan untuk tidak melakukannya), adalah memegang uang kertas/utang ketika suku bunga cukup tinggi untuk mengkompensasi risiko gagal bayar dan devaluasi dari memegang uang tersebut. Namun ketika risiko devaluasi dan gagal bayar dari uang kertas/utang tidak cukup dikompensasi oleh suku bunga, bijaksana untuk memegang emas. Sebagai alternatif, seseorang dapat memilih untuk tidak mencoba mengatur waktu pergerakan semacam itu dan malah selalu memegang sebagian emas. Emas, seperti uang tunai, memiliki pengembalian riil yang rendah sekitar 1,2%, dan telah berkorelasi negatif dengan uang tunai. Oleh karena itu, seseorang dapat menganggap emas dan uang tunai bersama-sama sebagai uang yang baik untuk dimiliki dalam lingkungan apa pun di mana likuiditas baik untuk dimiliki. Emas juga menjadi uang yang disukai karena memiliki risiko penyitaan yang lebih rendah dibandingkan uang dan aset lainnya. Itu karena ia tidak bergantung pada perolehan uang dari seseorang, dan lebih sulit bagi seseorang atau pemerintah untuk mengambilnya dari Anda. Ini adalah uang yang paling sulit diambil karena dapat dipegang dalam kepemilikan pribadi yang aman, tidak seperti semua uang lain yang memerlukan orang lain untuk melakukan pembayaran uang untuk memberikan nilai. Emas juga tidak dapat dicuri dalam serangan siber. Untuk alasan ini, emas telah menjadi aset yang disukai ketika ada risiko besar penyitaan uang karena krisis keuangan yang menyebabkan pajak sangat tinggi dan kebijakan penyitaan lainnya dan/atau perang ekonomi dan keuangan (misalnya, sanksi) antar negara. Akibatnya, selama masa krisis moneter/utang dan/atau perang yang meningkatkan risiko penyitaan, nilai emas naik sangat tinggi. Lebih tepatnya, emas adalah uang yang tidak kehilangan nilainya. Inilah mengapa emas terus menjadi uang yang paling fundamental sepanjang waktu, dengan rekam jejak terbaik dalam mempertahankan nilainya seiring biaya hidup selama periode waktu yang sangat panjang.

Kekuatan Mengejutkan Jalan Kaki 10 Menit

(SeaPRwire) - Rata-rata, orang Amerika mengambil . Ini adalah angka yang mengkhawatirkan, mengingat para peneliti kesehatan masyarakat menganggap jumlah langkah harian , dan gaya hidup yang tidak banyak bergerak mengikis kesehatan, menyebabkan kematian dini. Para peneliti termotivasi untuk mencari tahu bagaimana cara terbaik untuk membuat orang bergerak. Apakah semua langkah dihitung? Haruskah langkah itu cepat, atau langkah lambat tidak masalah? Apakah penting berapa hari dalam seminggu Anda berjalan lebih lama? Mereka telah beralih ke basis data besar untuk menghubungkan kesehatan orang dengan detail langkah-langkah mereka. Dalam sebuah diterbitkan pada 28 Oktober di Annals of Internal Medicine, para ilmuwan menemukan bahwa di antara lebih dari 30.000 orang di U.K. yang mengambil kurang dari 8.000 langkah sehari, mendapatkan langkah dalam jalan kaki yang lebih lama daripada mengumpulkannya sedikit demi sedikit dikaitkan dengan risiko kematian dan penyakit jantung yang lebih rendah. Bagi banyak orang, langkah harian terbagi menjadi berbagai jalan kaki kecil ke dapur atau perjalanan ke garasi. Dan semburan aktivitas singkat itu tentu saja bermanfaat sampai batas tertentu, kata Borja del Poro Cruz, seorang profesor di Universidad Europea de Madrid dan seorang penulis studi tersebut. “Yang kami temukan pada dasarnya adalah bahwa sejumlah langkah apa pun dikaitkan dengan penurunan risiko penyakit kardiovaskular dan kematian akibat semua penyebab,” katanya. Tetapi ketika orang-orang melakukan jalan kaki yang sedikit lebih lama—selama 10 atau 15 menit setiap kalinya—para peneliti melihat penurunan yang lebih besar dalam angka risiko mereka dibandingkan dengan orang-orang yang gerakan singkatnya berjumlah sama. Penelitian sebelumnya mengenai topik ini sebagian besar mengandalkan kuesioner yang dilaporkan sendiri atau jumlah langkah yang diukur oleh perangkat. Studi ini mempertimbangkan data yang lebih kaya: panjang jalan kaki dan jumlah langkah bersama-sama, tulis Dr. Carl Lavie, seorang ahli jantung dan profesor kedokteran di Ochsner Clinical School di Louisiana, dalam email kepada TIME. Studi semacam ini membantu membuktikan bahwa mengubah cara Anda berolahraga—tanpa harus berolahraga lebih banyak—dapat memberikan manfaat. Meskipun lebih banyak lebih baik, setiap sedikit membantu. Ketika bahkan sejumlah kecil langkah dikaitkan dengan peningkatan kesehatan, mengapa begitu sulit bagi orang untuk bangun dan bergerak? Di beberapa bagian dunia, termasuk sebagian besar A.S., keadaan tidak mendukung jalan kaki, kata del Poro Cruz. Dia tinggal di kota bersejarah di Spanyol di mana mobil tidak praktis, jadi dia berjalan kaki ke mana-mana—ke sekolah anak-anaknya, untuk membeli bahan makanan, untuk bekerja—mengumpulkan 15.000 langkah sehari tanpa terlalu berusaha. Tidak mudah untuk memasukkan gerakan ke dalam rutinitas sehari-hari di lingkungan di mana berjalan kaki ke toko kelontong berarti perjalanan sejauh lima mil di bahu jalan raya. Namun beberapa orang menemukan cara. Peneliti kebijakan publik Chris Wielga, penulis Substack , memiliki beberapa aturan untuk pemula, termasuk yang satu ini: Mulailah dari tempat Anda berada. Anda tidak perlu berkendara ke suatu tempat untuk berjalan-jalan; itu membagi dunia menjadi tempat untuk berjalan kaki dan tempat yang bukan untuk berjalan kaki. Dunia, pada kenyataannya, selalu ada di sana, tepat di luar jendela mobil. Anda mungkin terkejut dengan apa yang Anda temukan, dalam perjalanan menuju kesehatan yang lebih baik.Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Fondasi Kepatuhan: Menafsirkan Struktur “Dua Regulasi” SBC di Pasar Singapura dan Indonesia

1. Prioritas Regulasi: Inti Strategi SBC Di tengah era digitalisasi global dalam pengelolaan aset, tuntutan investor terhadap legalitas platform dan keamanan dana mencapai tingkat tertinggi dalam sejarah. Berlokasi di Singapura, Singapore Bhinneka Capital (SBC) beroperasi dengan filosofi bahwa “keamanan dana, transparansi informasi, dan kepatuhan regulasi” adalah pilar utama strategi operasionalnya. Sebagai perusahaan manajemen aset internasional yang berfokus pada pasar Indonesia, SBC secara cermat membangun struktur “dua regulasi” (dual regulatory framework) yang memberikan fondasi kepercayaan yang kuat bagi para kliennya. Model ini menggabungkan standar ketat dari pusat keuangan terkemuka Asia, yaitu Singapura, dengan persyaratan kepatuhan lokal di pasar Indonesia, sehingga menciptakan sistem pengawasan yang seimbang dan kredibel. 2. Pilar Utama: Lisensi Internasional dan Otoritas Singapura sebagai Legitimasi Kepatuhan SBC berakar dari regulasi ketat yang diberlakukan oleh otoritas Singapura, tempat perusahaan ini terdaftar secara resmi. Singapura dikenal sebagai pusat keuangan kelas dunia yang memiliki lingkungan hukum dan pengawasan yang stabil, transparan, dan terpercaya. Pengawasan Ketat oleh Lembaga Resmi: Status Hukum dan Registrasi Resmi: SBC terdaftar secara resmi di Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) Singapura, dan berada di bawah pengawasan berkelanjutan lembaga tersebut, memastikan keabsahan badan hukum perusahaan serta transparansi keuangan. Ekstensi Internasional: Selain itu, SBC juga terdaftar di Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Amerika Serikat, menegaskan bahwa upaya kepatuhan perusahaan mencakup skala internasional, bukan hanya terbatas pada satu yurisdiksi. Pengakuan dan Kepercayaan Pasar: Pengawasan langsung dari ACRA serta dukungan lisensi internasional memberikan SBC jaminan keamanan tingkat tinggi dalam operasionalnya, sehingga investor dapat menaruh kepercayaan penuh terhadap keamanan dan integritas pengelolaan dana mereka. 3. Kepatuhan Lokal dan Mekanisme Kolaborasi di Pasar Indonesia Tantangan utama bagi SBC adalah bagaimana melayani investor ritel Indonesia tanpa secara langsung terdaftar di bawah Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK). Solusi yang diambil adalah membangun mekanisme keterhubungan regulasi yang cermat dan saling melengkapi, yakni melalui sistem kerja sama yang memastikan kepatuhan di kedua yurisdiksi. Pengawasan OJK melalui Mitra Lokal Meskipun entitas utama SBC berada di bawah regulasi Singapura, mitra lokal yang bertanggung jawab memberikan edukasi, konsultasi, dan panduan investasi kepada investor Indonesia diwajibkan untuk beroperasi di bawah pengawasan ketat OJK. Pengaturan ini memastikan bahwa investor ritel tetap mendapatkan perlindungan dan transparansi regulasi domestik, bahkan ketika mereka berinteraksi dengan platform yang berbasis internasional. Pengamatan Pasar dan Nilai Tambah Regulasi Struktur semacam ini dapat disebut sebagai bentuk “asuransi regulasi”, yang memungkinkan SBC untuk memanfaatkan keunggulan Singapura sebagai pusat keuangan internasional, sekaligus menjamin perlindungan bagi investor lokal melalui kemitraan yang patuh terhadap aturan OJK. Pendekatan ganda ini secara signifikan meningkatkan tingkat kepercayaan publik terhadap platform SBC. 4. Kesimpulan: Pilihan Internasional yang Dapat Dipercaya Bagi para investor yang mencari jaminan keamanan berstandar internasional, pengalaman manajemen aset profesional, serta jalur investasi yang transparan dan patuh untuk mengakses pasar modal Indonesia yang tumbuh pesat, SBC menawarkan pilihan yang layak untuk dipertimbangkan secara serius. Investor dapat mengunjungi situs resmi SBC (https://www.bhinnekacapital.com/) Untuk memperoleh informasi lebih lanjut, investor dapat mengunjungi situs resmi SBC dan menggunakan nomor lisensi internasionalnya (202517009W) serta informasi mitra pialang yang tersedia secara publik untuk melakukan uji tuntas (due diligence) secara menyeluruh, sehingga dapat membuat keputusan investasi yang bijak dan terinformasi dengan baik.

MHI Thermal Systems Launches Two New Models of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps Using Natural Refrigerant R290 for European Market JCN Newswire

MHI Thermal Systems Launches Two New Models of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps Using Natural Refrigerant R290 for European Market

Hydrolution EZY SeriesTOKYO, October 30, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has added two new models to its "Hydrolution EZY" series of air-to-water (ATW) heat pumps for the European market that utilize R290 (propane). This is a natural refrigerant with low environmental impact and high energy efficiency. The new models have capacities of 6kW and 7.1kW and are scheduled for release this winter.ATW heat pumps extract heat from the air to supply cold and hot water for domestic water supply, heating, and cooling, replacing traditional fossil-fueled boilers.The models added to the lineup are monobloc types in which the water heat exchanger is housed in an outdoor unit, with only water piping required. Compared to split-type ATWs, which require the refrigerant pipe connections between an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, installation is easier.The R290 refrigerant used in these models has a very low environmental impact(*1) while retaining high energy efficiency. This is particularly important for the European market, as environmental regulations are tightened.Modifications that allow the use of R290 also enable the units to maintain a flow temperature of 75 in a wide range of environments, from an outside temperature of -25 to 43 meaning the unit can be relied upon for heating and domestic hot water applications even in the coldest regions. These latest models, in addition to high-temperature water-heating capabilities, are silent and easy to install, with only water piping and an electricity supply to the outdoor unit required. When operating at maximum capacity, the 6kW model has a sound pressure level, a measure of noise intensity, of just 34dB(A)(*2). The unit also has a quiet mode for reduced operating noise, providing flexibility to comply with noise regulations in densely populated residential areas.In addition, as a safety measure, the units are equipped with a refrigerant leak detection sensor. In the event of a leak, the unit will stop running, and a fan engaged to dissipate any escaped refrigerant.In order to better integrate into a range of installation environments across Europe, including residential areas, the models have been visually redesigned with an understated, modern appearance. The front of the now all-black unit is fitted with a fan guard accented with a silver vertical line and is designed to make it difficult to see the fan from an oblique direction.By promoting the transition from boiler combustion using fossil fuels that emit high concentrations of CO2, to ATW using electricity, Hydrolution EZY can make a significant contribution to carbon neutrality in European countries, and the achievement of MHI Group's MISSION NET ZERO.In October 2021, MHI Group announced its MISSION NET ZERO declaration to achieve carbon neutrality across the entire corporate group by 2040 by reducing CO2 emissions from its own plants and other production-related facilities, as well as through reductions in the CO2 emissions at customer facilities that use MHI Group products.Going forward, MHI Thermal Systems will continue to develop environmentally friendly technologies and products that take advantage of the breadth of the refrigeration and heating sector, and contribute to carbon neutrality in Europe and countries around the world.(*1) R290 has a global warming potential (GWP) of only 0.02. Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a coefficient expressing the greenhouse effect of a gas relative to carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a fixed GWP of 1.0. The lower the value, the lower the greenhouse effect and the better for the environment. The GWP value of "0.02" is adopted based on the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.(*2) Value measured at three meters in front of the unit.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

CMS (867.HK; 8A8.SG) NDA for AD Indication of Long-acting Anti-IL-4Ra Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Injection MG-K10 Accepted in China

SHENZHEN, Oct 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement of CMS on 22 April 2025 for details) together with its subsidiaries, holds co-development rights (except for atopic dermatitis (AD)) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα MG-K10 humanized monoclonal antibody injection (“MG-K10” or the “Product”). The New Drug Application (“NDA”) has been accepted by National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 30 October 2025. The product is intended for the treatment of adult with moderate-to-severe AD whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable.MG-K10 (generic name: Comekibart Injection) is an innovative long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody that simultaneously blocks the signaling of key type 2 inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13. With a longer half-life, the Product enables a four-week dosing frequency (currently marketed anti-IL-4Rα drugs require biweekly dosing), which is expected to improve patient adherence. MG-K10 is expected to become the world's first long-acting anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody to be launched on the market, and has the potential to become the Best-in-Class (BIC).MG-K10 has achieved positive results in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study in adults with moderate-to-severe AD, meeting the primary research endpoint as designed, and at 52 weeks of treatment with MG-K10, proportion of participants with Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1, also with an improvement of ≥2 points from baseline is 76.6%; proportion of participants with ≥75% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI 75) from baseline is 94.3 %; proportion of participants with ≥90% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI 90) from baseline is 79.1 %. Regarding safety, most of the Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) were Grade 1-2, with no Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) or fatal adverse event occurred. The incidence of common adverse reactions (conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, etc.) of drugs with the same target is relatively low for MG-K10.The Product has the potential for the treatment of other type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, prurigo nodularis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Among them, asthma, prurigo nodularis and seasonal allergic rhinitis have all entered the phase III clinical trial stage in China.If MG-K10 is approved, it will provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for 14.5 million patients with moderate-to-severe AD[1]. Furthermore, MG-K10 will generate synergy with Dermavon's ruxolitinib cream (for mild to moderate AD), the oral small molecule TYK2 inhibitor CMS-D001 (for moderate to severe AD), and dermatology-grade skincare products of Heling soothing product series, establishing a comprehensive solution for AD that covers various administration routes (injection, oral, and topical) and addresses multiple needs in “treatment + care”, benefiting a wide range of AD patients. Concurrently, it will further enrich Dermavon's product portfolio in the field of dermatological treatment and reinforce its leading position in skin health sector.On 24 January 2025, CMS through its subsidiaries entered into a Collaboration Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hunan Mabgeek Biotech Co., LTD and its subsidiaries for MG-K10. In accordance with the Agreement and supplementary agreements, CMS has obtained the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and Singapore; its subsidiary Dermavon has obtained, through its subsidiary, the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in the field of dermatological indications in Mainland China.About AD IndicationMG-K10’s first indication, AD, is a chronic inflammatory skin disease accompanied by severe itching. It is the most burdensome non-fatal skin disease worldwide and also a chronic disease with a relatively high prevalence and significant disease burden in China. It is estimated that there are over 54 million AD patients in China in 2024. Based on SCORAD scores, the proportion of moderate to severe AD in China was 27%, which means there are over 14.5 million patients[1]. Due to the limitations in efficacy and safety of traditional systemic therapies for AD, moderate to severe AD patients often experience delays in systemic treatment initiation, poor compliance, and suboptimal disease control, leaving a significant unmet need in clinical practice[2]. MG-K10, with its extended dosing interval of once every four weeks, is expected to improve patient adherence and provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe AD.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products. CMS continues to promote the in-depth development in its advantageous specialty fields, strengthening the competitiveness of the cardio-cerebrovascular/ gastroenterology/ ophthalmology/ skin health businesses, bringing economies of scale in specialty fields. Among them, the skin health business (Dermavon) has become a leading enterprise in its field, and is proposed to be listed independently on the SEHK.

Bagaimana Sampul 2025 TIME100 Climate Dilukis dengan Matahari Informasi

Bagaimana Sampul 2025 TIME100 Climate Dilukis dengan Matahari

(SeaPRwire) - Untuk mengilustrasikan sampul minggu ini untuk daftar 100 pemimpin iklim paling berpengaruh TIME tahun 2025, kami menghubungi seorang seniman yang "melukis dengan matahari." Seniman Michael Papadakis menghabiskan 10 hari di Boise, Idaho, membuat sampul TIME, hanya menggunakan sinar matahari, berbagai kaca pembesar, dan banyak perencanaan yang cermat. Prosesnya meliputi pemetaan jalur matahari, menghitung sudut, membuat sketsa garis besar, dan merencanakan bagaimana cahaya akan bergerak melintasi permukaan. Ia kemudian dengan sabar memegang kaca di tempat yang tepat agar matahari membakar gambar tersebut ke selembar kayu yang belum diolah berukuran 24×31 inci. “Matahari tidak memberi kesempatan kedua. Saat terbenam, kreasi harus beristirahat,” jelas Papadakis, yang mempelajari seni rupa di San Francisco State University, melalui email. “Ada hari-hari ketika angin menderu, ketika dingin membuat tangan kaku, ketika serangga merayap melintasi kanvas, namun saya melihat ini bukan sebagai hambatan, melainkan sebagai guru. Alam menentukan tempo, dan saya hanya belajar mengikutinya. Proses ini menuntut kehadiran, kerendahan hati, dan ketahanan.” [video id=hq8aNm0F autostart="viewable"] Ia menemukan bakat khusus ini saat bepergian di pegunungan Asia Tengah pada tahun 2012. Ia kebetulan membawa kaca pembesar kecil ketika ia menyadari sinar matahari mengenai sepotong kayu dengan cara yang menghentikannya: “Pada saat itu, saya tahu saya telah menemukan bukan hanya alat, tetapi sebuah panggilan.” Ia mendirikan perusahaannya, , pada tahun yang sama. “Sejak hari itu, saya tidak pernah melihat matahari dengan cara yang sama,” katanya. “Ia menjadi kolaborator sekaligus kompas saya, mitra yang terus mengajari saya apa yang mungkin terjadi ketika kreasi bertemu dengan cahaya putih murni.” “Terkadang saya bepergian untuk mencari cahaya, di lain waktu saya menunggu, menyiapkan segalanya untuk kembalinya,” tambah Papadakis, yang telah berkolaborasi dengan lusinan merek, dari Anheuser-Busch hingga 20th Century Fox, dan karyanya telah ditayangkan di CNN, NBC, CBS, dan Fox. “Kesabaran adalah alat rahasia yang tidak dilihat siapa pun. Matahari selalu kembali, dan ketika itu terjadi, saya siap menyambutnya di tengah jalan.” Menghabiskan begitu banyak waktu memikirkan sumber cahaya dan panas kita, wajar jika Papadakis memikirkan perubahan iklim. “Ini adalah Bumi yang berbicara kembali kepada kita,” katanya. “Keberlanjutan bukanlah kata benda, itu adalah kata kerja, sebuah tindakan, sebuah ritme, sebuah disiplin diri. Ini bukan tentang energi apa yang kita gunakan melainkan tentang bagaimana dan kapan kita menggunakannya. Seni saya adalah meditasi tentang kebenaran itu, untuk bekerja dengan cahaya saat bersinar, untuk beristirahat saat terbenam, untuk menghormati keseimbangan antara kreasi dan ketenangan.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia konten pihak ketiga.

Esperanza Unveils New Milestone in Tokenized Economy ACN Newswire

Esperanza Unveils New Milestone in Tokenized Economy

HONG KONG, Oct 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Esperanza Fintech (Hong Kong) Limited (“Esperanza” or the “Group”) today hosted the “Conference: Implementation of Tokenized Economy by Esperanza” (“Conference”). It is an opportune moment as the Hong Kong SAR Government vows in her 2025 Policy Address to support the development of tokenized gold investment products. The Conference brought together industry leaders and partners to map out a strategic blueprint to implement tokenized economy, including the compliant roadmap for tokenized gold in Hong Kong and the unlimited potential of tokenized investments, an application for tokenized gold, in driving economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. The Conference was attended by nearly a hundred investors and professionals.The Conference kicked off with a vision speech delivered by Mr. Ronald Leung, solicitor, Founder and Group CEO of Esperanza. Mr. Leung pointed out that the Asia-Pacific region has long relied on Western settlement systems and Western-dominated interest rate policies. The tokenized economy, powered by tokenized gold, offers an alternative capital solution to drive regional economic development and the continuous internationalization of the financial and capital markets of the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong . He emphasized that the support for development of tokenized gold in Hong Kong’s 2025 Policy Address is a highly strategic policy direction. Capitalizing on her status and resources as an international financial center, Hong Kong possesses unparalleled edge in developing an ecosystem powered by tokenized gold in facilitating cross-border trades in the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, tokenized gold could be integrated with Central Bank-led digital Renminbi (RMB) in the future to contribute to the internationalization of RMB. He pointed out that the Group has completed registration with the Hong Kong Customs as an issuer of precious asset-backed instrument. The Group has also undergone a small-scale, non-public proof-of-concept (POC) testing in multiple Asia Pacific markets, including Southeast Asia, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and currently has significant verified “Know Your Customer (KYC)” POC users. Although Esperanza's tokenized gold is designed based on the legal framework for precious asset-backed instrument registered with Hong Kong Customs, to ensure overall regulatory stability in Hong Kong, it is anticipated that Esperanza will open its tokenized gold offerings to the Hong Kong public only after addressing the concerns of other regulatory bodies and when a clear regulatory framework is fully implemented in the city. The Group will also align with governments of various economies on operational fronts via strategic partners.Mr. Leung continued to point out, "Tokenized gold is a key milestone for Hong Kong's financial future. Esperanza has already signed an agreement with Hatcher Group Limited (8365.HK) regarding the development of tokenized gold before the Policy Address was released. Immediately following the release, our team has conducted a productive and in-depth communication with the Chief Executive's Policy Unit, while ensuring our technology platform and infrastructure are in place and ready for action. Currently, we are maintaining active dialogues with regulators, with the core principle of achieving ‘controllable innovation’ that adheres to existing regulatory framework as well as the work agenda of the Chief Executive’s Policy Unit. We firmly believe that Esperanza, armed with first-mover advantages in technology and its business model, and in collaboration with various sectors, will be able to transform tokenized gold into a powerful engine in driving economic autonomy in the Asia-Pacific region."The conference had two thematic sharing sessions. The first had Mr. Roy Lui, Managing Director of ESPE Gold Solutions, sharing the compliant implementation of tokenized gold in Hong Kong. Mr. Lui shared that the Group’s proposed solution – “ESPE Gold” (“ESPG”) – is legally categorized as a “precious asset-backed instrument” instead of a virtual asset or a stablecoin, nor a collective investment scheme. Esperanza purchases physical gold bars adhering to London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) standards, stores them in licensed gold vaults and issues 100,000 ESPG, i.e. digital gold certificates, for each kilogram of gold bar. These digital gold certificates, each representing a complete instalment payment, are recorded on blockchain networks. Upon completion of 100,000 instalments, i.e. holding 100,000 ESPG, clients can redeem physical gold bars from Esperanza. Clients can make instalment payments any time and sell ESPG back to Esperanza, enjoying much higher flexibility than traditional gold redemption clubs. Mr. Lui emphasized that, although ESPG gives users experiences similar to that of stablecoins, the business model is actually more akin to traditional gold dealers earning bid-ask spread. He also spoke on the diverse application scenarios of ESPG besides as a convenient way to purchase physical gold. ESPG is poised to develop into a cross-border settlement means for commerce across Asia economies, with future potential to power a gold-backed interest rate system through collateralized lending of ESPG.In the second sharing session, Mr. Tony Chang, Executive Director of ESPE Capital Solutions, talked about the Group’s blueprint for tokenized investments as a core use case for tokenized gold. Mr. Chang said tokenized investments have not seen significant breakthrough due to the lack of product designs that are attractive to investors and that liquidity is highly concentrated within professional investors. Tokenized investments need to deliver both “attractive growth potential” and “security in exit channels” in order for investors to make meaningful consideration for adoption. Such example includes a short-term revenue sharing arrangement with foreseeable potential for revenue improvement. He added that Esperanza has obtained the Asset Management licence from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong and its application for tokenized business is currently under review, with the legal, tax, and trading infrastructures ready. Currently, the Group’s tokenized investment pipelines include concert revenue of Southeast Asian and Korean artists, movie box office receipts and revenue of hotels and shopping malls.In addition to the thematic sharing sessions, the conference also featured a panel discussion comprising Mr. Jeremy Teo from Singapore, Co-founder and Board Director of Esperanza, Mr. Ronald Leung and Mr. Tony Chang. The discussion centers on the development potential of tokenized gold and tokenized investments across various Asia-Pacific economies, particularly the opportunities in bringing Southeast Asian projects to Hong Kong for capital raising via security token offerings (STOs). These opportunities illustrate the advantages for Hong Kong in developing tokenized gold with the support of the Hong Kong SAR Government.The conference marked an important step made by Esperanza in promoting the development of tokenized economy in Hong Kong and across Asia. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to provide innovative fintech solutions to support Hong Kong in strengthening her position as an international financial center, as well as helping foster greater economic autonomy and financial innovation in the Asia-Pacific region.Photo captionsPhoto 1: (From left to right) Mr. Tony Chang, Executive Director of ESPE Capital Solutions, and Mr. Ronald Leung, Founder and Group CEO of Esperanza, and Mr. Roy Lui, Managing Director of ESPE Gold Solutions, at the conference.Photo 2: (From left to right) Mr. Jeremy Teo, Co-founder and Board Director of Esperanza, Mr. Ronald Leung, Founder and Group CEO of Esperanza, and Mr. Tony Chang, Executive Director of ESPE Capital Solutions, after the panel discussion session.About Esperanza Fintech (Hong Kong) Limited (Esperanza)Esperanza is co-founded by the next generation of professionals from Hong Kong and Singapore with the mission to reform Asia’s economies through fintech.

MHI-MS to Conduct Demonstration Testing of Vehicle Transport Robots at Nakagusuku Port in Okinawa JCN Newswire

MHI-MS to Conduct Demonstration Testing of Vehicle Transport Robots at Nakagusuku Port in Okinawa

Vehicle transport robotsTOKYO, October 30, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Machinery Systems (MHI-MS), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, will conduct demonstration testing of finished vehicle logistics (FVL) using vehicle transport robots to autonomously move automobiles. Following a proposal adopted for "Testbed Support Subsidy Program"(*1) conducted by Okinawa Prefecture, demonstration testing is scheduled to begin on December 1 this year at the prefecture's temporary vehicle storage yard (motor pool) at Nakagusuku Port (Uruma, Okinawa Prefecture).Vehicle transport robots are used to autonomously move finished vehicles at automobile manufacturing plants, motor pools, and for automated valet parking at shopping malls, theme parks, and airports.(*2) The system enables automated transport even if the vehicle itself is not equipped with autonomous driving capabilities or communication functions, and can be widely utilized in motor pools for both new and used cars without the need for vehicle modification or extensive installation of equipment on the infrastructure side, and without major changes to current operations.MHI-MS has been jointly developing the first advanced automated transport robot business in Japan with Stanley Robotics, a French venture company, since 2021. As of October 2025, seven core patents have been registered in Japan for automated transport robots, which will drive market expansion. In consideration of the unique conditions in Japan, domestic development of a customizable system was completed in March this year.Okinawa, the site of the demonstration testing for finished vehicle transport, is a region with a high rate of private car ownership, with the number of private cars owned per capita of the population over the age of 20 exceeding the national average. Used cars especially are preferred by many prefectural residents because they are less expensive than new cars, and play an important role in the infrastructure supporting everyday life. In addition, because of the many tourist arrivals in Okinawa from Japan and abroad, the number of rental car registrations is one of the highest in Japan. Registered rental cars are replaced every few years and sold on the market as used cars. In this way, the used car market supports Okinawa's industry and the everyday lives of people.The Nakagusuku Port Motor Pool is mainly used for temporary storage of used cars prior to shipping, and transport services such as the loading and unloading of used cars are conducted at the site on a regular basis. In addition, the outdoor work environment has become harsher due to global warming, so reducing the physical burden on workers and ensuring a sustainable working style is an urgent matter. Strategies to address labor shortages due to the declining birth rate and aging population have also become a concern. In addition, the application of DX (digital transformation) technologies for vehicle management, such as visualization of the storage location of used cars, was also a factor for future consideration.MHI-MS decided to participate in this program in Okinawa Prefecture to demonstrate the effectiveness of vehicle transport robots as a solution to such challenges. The demonstration testing will evaluate the potential for improving the working environment, and responding to labor shortages, as well as "human-centered robot utilization" such as robot-based yard management systems and DX to handle vehicle location information. The tests will also evaluate the potential contribution to decarbonization efforts by confirming supplemental benefits such as curbing CO2 emissions through reduced driving of gasoline-powered vehicles.Going forward, as a company committed to creating new value for society and solving future societal issues through mechatronics, MHI-MS will establish a new future for finished vehicle transport that is friendly to both people and the planet.(*1) "Testbed Support Subsidy Program (Okinawa Prefecture Subsidy Program)" provides support for proof-of-concept experiments within Okinawa Prefecture by companies with innovative digital technologies and services, with the aim of furthering innovation and solutions to societal issues. See the following website for more information about the program. https://testbedislandokinawa.com (Japanese)(*2) When the driver stops at a designated berth close to the facility, the vehicle transport robot moves the vehicle to a vacant space, taking over parking on behalf of the driver. The process is reversed when retrieving the vehicle, with the robot transporting the vehicle back to the berth at the time specified by the driver in advance using the smartphone app. For drivers, there is no need to find a parking space or park, and no concerns about brushing against the adjacent car when opening the door.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense. MHI Group combines cutting-edge technology with deep experience to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that help to realize a carbon neutral world, improve the quality of life and ensure a safer world.

TOKYO, Oct 29, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Olympus Corporation (Olympus), a global MedTech company committed to making people’s lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling, today announced the launch of the NBI+TXI™ observation mode, which combines Narrow Band Imaging (NBI™ mode) and Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI™ mode) into a single view. Sales of the EVIS X1™ endoscopy system featuring the NBI+TXI mode will begin in Japan in November 2025, with launches in other regions to follow pending local regulatory approvals.The latest NBI mode, and the TXI observation mode, combined in the CV-1500.Since its initial launch in April 2020, the EVIS X1 endoscopy system has supported healthcare professionals with advanced imaging technologies including TXI mode, NBI mode and RDI™ mode (Red Dichromatic Imaging). These proprietary innovations have contributed to more precise observation and treatment of gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, including cancer.The NBI+TXI mode further strengthens the EVIS X1 endoscopy system’s diagnostic capabilities by enhancing the brightness correction and contrast information of NBI mode. This enables clearer visualization in darker areas of the image and sharper definition of vascular and mucosal patterns, which can contribute to improved detection and diagnostic accuracy for lesions, including those associated with cancers.According to 2021 statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare1, colorectal cancer has the highest incidence rate among all types of cancer in Japan, with 154,585 cases, followed by lung cancer (124,531 cases), and stomach cancer (112,881 cases). These cancers also rank among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, with lung cancer first (75,762 deaths), colorectal cancer second (53,131 deaths), and stomach cancer fourth (38,771 deaths).NBI mode, first introduced globally in 2006, brought a revolutionary change to endoscopic imaging by improving visibility of features that were previously difficult to detect, making the invisible visible. The CV-1500 incorporates the latest NBI mode, achieving improved brightness compared to the original NBI mode. TXI mode, introduced with the CV-1500, further improves the visibility of lesions through its image enhancement technology when used with conventional light observation. The combination of these two technologies in the CV-1500, the NBI+TXI observation mode is expected to further enhance and optimize the contrast information in NBI mode images, supporting more precise endoscopic examinations and treatments.NBI+TXI observation mode is expected to enhance the contrast information in NBI mode imaging.Supporting Better Mucosal VisibilityTXI mode supports better visibility of potential and extant lesions, such as areas of inflammation, flat or depressed lesions, or even tiny precursor lesions, by enhancing texture, brightness and color to define subtle tissue differences more clearly. With its advanced imaging technology, TXI mode has the potential to reinvent white light in endoscopy. By supporting better visibility of potential and extant lesions, TXI mode may contribute to higher detection rates and improve qualitative diagnosis.NBI mode is a powerful and proven optical technology creating strong contrast between vessels and surrounding mucosa that allows for a high-confidence optical diagnosis using specific blue and green wavelengths. NBI mode not only supports earlier detection of lesions but also provides a more detailed, higher-contrasted visualization that can improve qualitative diagnosis.“We know that early detection improves patient care and outcomes.” said Kurt Heine, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Gastroenterology, Olympus. “Olympus is committed to providing the advanced endoscopic imaging physicians need to clearly visualize the GI tract and provide timely diagnoses and treatment.

TOKYO and RAHWAY, NJ, Oct. 29, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito) and Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) today announced results from that Phase 3 LEAP-012 trial evaluating LENVIMA® (lenvatinib), the orally available multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)discovered by Eisai, plus KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), the anti-PD-1 therapy from Merck & Co.,Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA, in combination with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for the treatment of patients with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).At a pre-specified interim analysis, LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE did not achieve statistical significance for overall survival (OS), one of the study’s primary endpoints, compared to TACE alone. The likelihood of reaching the protocol-specified threshold for statistical significance for OS at a future analysis was evaluated by Eisai and Merck & Co.,Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA and considered to be low. On this basis, the study will be closed, and the companies are informing investigators of this decision.The safety profile of the LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA-based regimen was consistent with that observed in previously reported studies evaluating the combination and in earlier analyses of LEAP-012. Further analysis of the data is ongoing. Eisai and Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA will work with investigators to share the results with the scientific community.As reported previously, LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE met the study’s other primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) and demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement compared to TACE alone. Data from this first interim analysis, which served as the final analysis for the endpoint of PFS, were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 and published in The Lancet. With additional follow-up at subsequent analyses, PFS remained consistent.“Although the progression-free survival results from this study are encouraging, unfortunately, the addition of KEYTRUDA plus LENVIMA to TACE did not show the overall survival benefit we hoped,” said Dr. Gregory Lubiniecki, Vice President, Global Clinical Development, MSD Research Laboratories. “We are grateful to the patients and investigators for their important contributions to this study, and our commitment is unwavering as we pursue new therapeutic options for people living with hepatocellular carcinoma, an aggressive and challenging-to-treat cancer.”“The overall survival findings from LEAP-012, along with the previously reported improvement in progression-free survival, provide important insights for treating unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma,” said Dr. Corina Dutcus, Senior Vice President, Oncology Global Clinical Development Lead at Eisai. “For years, TACE has been a standard of care for these patients, yet many experience disease progression within twelve months. With LEAP-012, we sought to make a meaningful difference for this patient population. LENVIMA continues to play an important role as a monotherapy treatment option for patients with unresectable HCC, and as a company with a deep heritage in liver cancer research, Eisai remains committed to advancing the science.”In July 2025, LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE was approved in China to treat unresectable non-metastatic HCC. The LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA combination is approved in the U.S., the European Union (EU), Japan and other countries for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and certain types of advanced endometrial carcinoma. Results from the LEAP-012 trial do not affect the current approved indications for the LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA combination, including the approval of LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE in China to treat unresectable non-metastatic HCC.LENVIMA monotherapy is approved for the treatment of patients with unresectable HCC in more than 80 countries and regions, including in the U.S., the EU, China and Japan.KEYTRUDA is approved as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with HCC secondary to hepatitis B who have received prior systemic therapy other than a PD-1/PD-L1-containing regimen in the U.S. and as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with HCC who have been previously treated with sorafenib or oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy in China.For more details, please visit: https://www.eisai.com/news/2025/pdf/enews202576pdf.pdf Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

NEC and the Cambodian Mine Action Center Successfully Predict Landmine-Contaminated Areas in Cambodia Using AI JCN Newswire

NEC and the Cambodian Mine Action Center Successfully Predict Landmine-Contaminated Areas in Cambodia Using AI

TOKYO, Japan, October 29, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) and the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC, *1), the national institution responsible for landmine clearance activities in Cambodia, with assistance from JICA (*2), conducted a proof-of-concept using AI to predict landmine-contaminated areas. This initiative aims to contribute to rapid and efficient clearance operations to eliminate landmine casualties. The proof-of-concept achieved highly accurate predictions, with a match rate exceeding 90% against actual landmine locations.This initiative also received recognition through "The GICHD Innovation Award 2025," hosted by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD, *3), which honors outstanding technologies contributing to progress in demining activities. The award was presented at a ceremony held in Luxembourg on Tuesday, October 28. Removing landmines in an area Award Ceremonypredicted by AI in Cambodia ©GICHD/PANCAKE! PhotographieThe use of landmines remains a humanitarian issue worldwide, particularly hindering community and economic development for extended periods in post-conflict nations. It is estimated that approximately 100 million people face the threat of landmines, with one person losing their life to a landmine every 90 minutes (*4).In Cambodia, civil war spanning the 1970s and 1990s led to the widespread burial of landmines across the country. Despite years of dedicated clearance efforts, remnant landmines persist in some areas today. These landmines prevent the use of land for farming and residential purposes, posing serious obstacles to recovery and development.The Cambodian government, based on the Ottawa Treaty (Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on Their Destruction) signed in 1997, has set a target of completing landmine clearance within Cambodia by 2030. To achieve this, it is expected that advanced technologies such as AI will be utilized to reduce survey time.This demonstration targeted approximately 1 million square meters of Cambodia's landmine fields. NEC's AI analyzed information based on data that included CMAC's records of detected landmine locations, resident-provided information, and open data such as river/mountainous terrain locations and factory/critical building sites. It then accurately predicted areas with a high probability of containing buried landmines.Traditionally, identifying potential landmine-infested areas required extensive, unorganized data and significant manpower over long periods. By leveraging AI, this process can now be performed quickly with fewer personnel, demonstrating the potential to support swift and efficient landmine clearance.Going forward, NEC will continue striving to further improve AI's accuracy. Working with CMAC, with assistance from JICA, and strengthening collaboration with the Japanese government, NEC will accelerate efforts toward achieving Cambodia's goal of completing landmine clearance by 2030. Furthermore, NEC aims to contribute to other landmine-affected countries using this technology in the future.(*1) Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC)Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Director: Heng Rathana(*2) Japan International Cooperation Agency(*3) Geneva International Center for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD)Location: Geneva, Switzerland; Director: Stefano Toscan(*4) Source: the-monitor.org/reports/landmine-monitorLandmine Monitor 2024 Full PaperAbout NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of “Orchestrating a brighter world.” NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.
