It captures that moment of rupture, examining the armour we build and the private vulnerabilities it is meant to protect. Fashion becomes a firewall – at times impenetrable, at others tragically transparent. Seams are left open like data leaks, while protective layers dissolve into lace. Here, the error message is not a failure but an aesthetic: a beautiful yet unsettling reminder that true security has become obsolete. This is the uniform for an era in which the greatest threat is not being hidden but being seen. Bettie JiangBrand: Bettie Haute CoutureDesigner and brand profileBettie Jiang graduated from the London College of Fashion at the University of the Arts London, specializing in Fashion Design and Surface Textiles. She has comprehensive knowledge of fabrics and concept-interpretation skills that she always honours in the salient details of fabric in her collections.

Known for her commitment to zero-waste practices and unique tailoring, Bettie continues to redefine modern sophistication.Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection: Palette of VariationThis collection evolves from the designer’s fundamental style, incorporating geometric designs, Bauhaus influences and zero-waste pattern cutting. Inspired by kinetic garment construction, the collection seeks to create pieces that liberate the human body and challenge traditional clothing boundaries, merging style with sustainability. The collection presents a vision of liberating, environmentally conscious fashion that is not only visually appealing but also inherently functional and adaptable to diverse lifestyles. Harrison WongBrand: HARRISON WONGDesigner and brand profile:HARRISON WONG is renowned for its avant-garde style and innovative designs featuring minimalist structures.

It is now actively expanding internationally, with its first overseas flagship store opened at Royal Exchange in central London, marking a significant milestone in entering the UK and European markets.Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection: Midnight SnowfallThe collection captures the quiet poetry of snow drifting through a starless night sky. Black and white graduated patterns echo falling flakes, with dense white speckles dissolving into inky denim and wool, while checker prints layered with snow like overlays introduce a rhythmic sense of depth. Deconstructed tailoring brings together contemporary menswear and subtle sporty elements, forming hybrid constructions and relaxed silhouettes that move with effortless urban ease and evoke a sense of serene winter tranquility.

Initiatives like these play an important role in fostering greater understanding, inclusion, and connection within the community,” said the President of the Penang Cheshire Home, Mr. Koay Say Loke Andrew.Guided by its commitment to local community well-being, Spritzer believes that nature should be shared and experienced by everyone, regardless of ability, background or circumstance. This initiative is part of the Company’s ongoing outreach efforts to nurture shared moments that embrace diversity in spaces where all Malaysians can come together and enjoy the outdoors. The visit represents more than a community social responsibility (CSR) activity, it demonstrates Spritzer’s belief and commitment to meaningful, people-first community building.The visit brought together 93 individuals, including residents with disabilities and volunteers, who received a warm reception with a communal lunch, allowing participants time to settle in before moving on to a mini golf activity within the park grounds. Designed to be interactive and enjoyable for all, the session encouraged bonding and active participation among attendees in a safe, comfortable and supportive setting.Photo 2 and 3: Volunteers and residents, including residents with disabilities, had the chance to take part in activities like mini golf in a safe, accessible, and comfortable environment, while enjoying the lush green scenerySpritzer acknowledges the longstanding impact of the Penang Cheshire Home, that has provided residential care, rehabilitation and skills development for persons with physical disabilities since 1978. The initiative with the Home is part of Spritzer’s broader commitment to championing inclusivity, well-being, and meaningful relationships.

Shoucheng Holdings Draws Focus After Portfolio Companies Appear in Spring Festival Gala Robotics Showcase ACN Newswire

Shoucheng Holdings Draws Focus After Portfolio Companies Appear in Spring Festival Gala Robotics Showcase

HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (00697.HK) has come into investor focus after several of its robotics portfolio companies - Unitree Robotics, Songyan Dynamics and Galbot - appeared in China's annual Spring Festival Gala, a nationally broadcast event often regarded as a signal of technological maturity and policy direction.The program featured humanoid robots performing synchronized movement, real-time interaction and autonomous manipulation tasks. Market participants said the coordinated appearance of multiple companies backed by the same investor highlighted both the commercialization progress of China's robotics industry and Shoucheng's positioning as a listed proxy for the sector.Demonstrations Highlight Different Layers of Robotics TechnologyThe three companies showcased different functional segments of robotics development.Unitree Robotics presented a humanoid robot formation capable of executing complex motion sequences, including flips and martial-arts-style movements. The performance demonstrated high-precision motion control and multi-robot synchronization, technologies considered critical for scalable manufacturing applications.Songyan Dynamics introduced consumer-oriented humanoid robots designed for household interaction. The robots displayed lifelike expressions and coordinated body movements, emphasizing the transition of humanoid robotics from industrial testing toward domestic and service scenarios.Galbot demonstrated autonomous manipulation using its AstraBrain embodied artificial-intelligence model. The robot performed real-time tasks such as picking up small objects and handling fragile items without pre-programmed instructions, illustrating environmental perception and on-the-spot decision-making capabilities.Together, the demonstrations covered motion capability, human-robot interaction and embodied intelligence, suggesting Shoucheng's investments span multiple parts of the robotics value chain rather than a single technology path.Investment Strategy Extends Beyond Financial ParticipationShoucheng invested in the companies during development and expansion phases and has continued supporting commercialization through distribution and application channels. The company is developing the Taozhu New Creation Hub network, a retail and experience platform intended to connect robotics manufacturers with consumers and enterprise users.The planned rollout of approximately 20 locations is designed to provide testing environments, sales channels and customer acquisition opportunities. Industry observers say the model may allow the company to generate service income and commissions in addition to equity investment gains.Shoucheng is also encouraging collaboration among portfolio companies. Complementary technologies displayed in the broadcast are expected to translate into joint deployments in real-world scenarios, forming a commercialization pathway linking development, application and monetization.Exposure May Accelerate Commercialization and FinancingThe Spring Festival Gala attracts hundreds of millions of viewers annually and is widely regarded as a national showcase for emerging technologies. Analysts say the exposure may accelerate customer adoption and financing activity for participating robotics firms, including potential public listings.As portfolio companies move toward larger-scale deployment, investors increasingly view Shoucheng as an integrated industry participant rather than a passive venture investor. The company's valuation may become tied to commercialization speed and earnings conversion within its robotics ecosystem.OutlookMarket participants say the next phase will depend on whether public attention translates into sustained demand. Store efficiency, adoption rates and commercialization progress across the portfolio are expected to become the primary indicators of performance.With robotics moving from laboratory demonstrations toward practical applications, Shoucheng's strategy - combining investment, distribution infrastructure and scenario deployment - positions it to benefit from broader industry expansion if adoption accelerates.

首程控股(0697.HK)機器人版圖閃耀2026春晚:投資回報步入爆發期 ACN Newswire

首程控股(0697.HK)機器人版圖閃耀2026春晚:投資回報步入爆發期

香港, 2026年2月20日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2026年央視春晚圓滿落幕,包括魔法原子、宇樹科技、銀河通用、松延動力等多家國產機器人企業同台競技,以多場景、高難度的精彩表現,完成了一場面向全球的技術實力與商業價值的"集體亮相"— 上述亮相的4家公司均屬首程控股(0697.HK)所投資或深度佈局的機器人企業。這場被業界稱為"中國具身智能閱兵式"的舞台秀,不僅刷新了公眾對人形機器人的認知,更釋放出行業即將邁入大規模商用的強烈信號,成為資本市場關注的核心焦點。春晚作為具有指標意義的國家級超級IP,其科技合作對象長期被視為技術成熟度與產業方向的重要風向標。多家被投企業集中登台,不僅體現首程控股自身的產業地位,也被市場視為首程控股機器人投資戰略由"驗證期邁向收穫期"的重要信號。系統化佈局機器人全產業鏈,首程控股構建穩健投資結構從投資結構來看,首程控股所投的三家登上春晚舞台的企業,分別覆蓋了機器人產業鏈的不同關鍵層級:一類以整機能力見長,代表機器人工程化與規模化落地水準;一類聚焦具身智能方向,體現人工智慧與機器人深度融合趨勢;另一類深耕機器人動力與核心工程系統,夯實產業底層能力。多家被投企業在同一年度集中亮相春晚舞台,顯示出首程控股並非押注單一技術路線,而是圍繞機器人產業鏈關鍵環節進行系統化佈局。其投資組合覆蓋整機製造、具身智能系統以及關鍵工程與動力環節,不同賽道在商業化節奏與盈利模型上各具特點。這種多層級、多方向的佈局方式,使首程控股在機器人產業快速演進過程中,既能夠保持成長彈性,也具備較強的結構穩定性,為後續投資回報的持續釋放奠定了堅實基礎。多重邏輯疊加,2026年首程控股機器人投資或迎回報拐點從市場視角看,首程控股在機器人領域的投資回報,更可能呈現為"漸進式釋放",而非單點爆發。進入 2026 年,其機器人投資是否步入實質性收穫期,核心可從以下二重邏輯進行觀察。第一重邏輯:被投企業產業地位抬升帶來的估值重估。隨著機器人行業逐步走出概念驗證階段,具備真實工程能力、產品落地經驗和品牌影響力的企業,正在獲得更高的產業與資本認可。多家被投企業在國家級舞台集中亮相,有助於強化其行業標籤與市場信任度,並在融資、訂單與戰略合作層面形成正回饋,這類變化通常會率先反映在企業整體估值預期的抬升上。第二重邏輯:多賽道佈局形成的組合效應。首程控股同時覆蓋整機、具身智能系統以及關鍵工程與動力環節,不同方向的商業化節奏並不一致,但正因如此,整體投資組合對單一專案波動的敏感度相對較低,更有利於形成結構更穩健的回報曲線。這種"組合型收益"模式,往往比依賴單一明星專案更具持續性。在上述結構性邏輯之上,首程控股機器人投資組合中已出現多個具備潛在高回報的代表性專案。其中,早期佈局的宇樹科技已進入上市輔導衝刺階段,有望衝擊"中國機器人第一股"。在人形與四足機器人加速進入產業和公共場景的背景下,其潛在估值空間受到市場持續關注。與此同時,銀河通用機器人、引數科技等專案在最新一輪融資中,已為首程控股帶來超過 10 倍的絕對投資回報。在具身智能、大模型與機器人融合逐漸成為產業共識的背景下,這些專案的階段性兌現,進一步驗證了首程控股在機器人賽道早期佈局的前瞻性。從資本週期角度看,2026 年有望成為首程控股機器人投資的"IPO 收割年"。市場預計,其投資組合中約有 4 家機器人相關企業將在 2026 年內正式啟動或完成 IPO 流程。隨著這些企業從一級市場邁入二級市場,其資產定價邏輯將由"技術與想像"切換至"業績與流動性",由此產生的估值溢價與流動性溢價,有望為首程控股帶來顯著的超額收益。這一階段,也被視為首程機器人投資板塊由長期佈局走向集中兌現的重要窗口。場景閉環與商業化放量:構建穩定、可持續的回報支撐除資本端佈局外,首程控股正同步推進機器人商業化的場景閉環建設,從而將投資回報由單一的資本收益,延伸至參與真實應用場景所帶來的增量空間。隨著機器人逐步進入實際落地階段,線下體驗、銷售與服務網絡的重要性持續提升。通過參與相關場景建設,首程控股不僅分享被投企業成長帶來的股權增值,也有機會在產品流通與服務環節獲得補充性收益,為整體投資回報提供穩定支撐。具體來看,首程控股通過在核心商圈佈局機器人體驗店,正將春晚舞台上的"黑科技",轉化為消費者可感知、可體驗、可購買的現實產品,推動機器人從技術展示走向真實消費。隨著線下門店規模不斷擴大、產品成熟度持續提升,市場預期2026 年單店 ROI(投資回報率)將顯著改善,門店功能也將由早期的品牌展示窗口,逐步演進為具備穩定轉化能力的銷售終端,成為機器人商業化落地的重要基礎設施。值得關注的是,線下體驗網路並非單一的零售管道,而是同時承載 B2C 與 B2B 的雙向盈利功能。一方面,門店面向極客用戶與家庭用戶,銷售消費級與服務型機器人產品;另一方面,也作為首程控股 B2B 業務的重要展示與獲客窗口,向企業客戶、商業場景及公共機構延伸。包括春晚合作夥伴在內的機器人品牌(如魔法原子等)入駐體驗網路後,可依託首程控股的代理與管道體系,拓展行業客戶與應用場景。市場預計,這一模式將在 2026 年為首程控股貢獻穩定的傭金及服務性收入,與股權投資回報形成互補的現金流結構。在流量端,首程控股正嘗試打通"舞台展示 + 線下體驗 + 直播轉化"的完整路徑。依託春晚帶來的巨大關注度,公司通過抖音、視頻號等平台同步開展直播帶貨,將品牌熱度直接轉化為銷售線索與訂單。在這一模式下,2026 年單店回本週期有望縮短至行業領先水準,商業模型正由"重投入、慢回報"向"效率驅動型增長"轉變。上述商業化路徑,正通過首程控股旗下品牌-"陶朱新造局"加速落地。作為線上線下融合的機器人銷售與體驗網路,陶朱新造局正在成為連接技術與市場的重要樞紐。目前,部分春晚相關機器人產品已進入其線下空間進行展示與互動體驗,形成從"春晚舞台高曝光"到"線下真實體驗與轉化"的延伸閉環。隨著機器人產品持續向消費級與服務級場景滲透,線下體驗與銷售網絡的整體價值,有望在 2026 年進一步釋放。綜合來看,三家被投企業同時登上春晚舞台,使首程控股站在了機器人產業由"概念走向規模化"的關鍵節點上。其機器人戰略已不再局限於押注單一明星專案,而是形成了"明星資產 + IPO 週期 + 場景商業化 + 流量變現"的多層次回報結構。業內人士指出,首程控股當前在機器人領域的角色,已不再局限於財務投資方,而是逐步向產業資源整合者與場景組織者演進。通過"資本 + 場景 + 平台"的協同模式,首程控股正在構建區別於傳統投資機構的機器人產業參與路徑。。隨著 2026 年臨近,機器人投資回報、線下門店效率與品牌變現能力的多重釋放,或將成為首程控股中長期增長邏輯中,最具想像空間的核心變數。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

The Capital Architect Behind the Gala Robots: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Enters a Milestone Year of Value Re-rating ACN Newswire

The Capital Architect Behind the Gala Robots: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Enters a Milestone Year of Value Re-rating

HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala concluded with a spectacular display that served as a global collective debut for China’s robotics industry. On a stage shared by millions, companies such as Unitree Robotics, Magic Atom Robotics, Galbot, and Songyan Dynamics showcased the peak of domestic engineering and embodied intelligence. All of these companies are either invested in or deeply positioned within the robotics portfolio of Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK).This showcase, described by industry observers as the "Chinese Embodied Intelligence Parade," signaled the industry’s imminent transition into large-scale commercialization. As a national-level flagship event, the Gala serves as a barometer of technological readiness. The simultaneous appearance of multiple portfolio companies highlights Shoucheng Holdings’ industrial standing and marks a strategic pivot from the validation stage to the harvest phase.Systematic Deployment: Building a Robust Industry-Chain StructureShoucheng Holdings’ investment logic extends beyond simply picking star startups. Instead, it has constructed a systematic framework covering the most critical nodes of the robotics industry chain:Full-Machine Manufacturing and Scalability: Represented by Unitree Robotics, focusing on engineering maturity and the capability for large-scale commercial production.Embodied Intelligence Systems: Represented by Galbot, focusing on the deep integration of AI and hardware—the brain-body coordination that defines the future of the industry.Core Engineering and Power Systems: Represented by Songyan Dynamics, diving deep into the underlying power systems and mechanical components that provide the foundation for all robotic movement.This multi-layered approach—covering Full Machine, Systems, and Components—provides the portfolio with both growth elasticity and structural stability against market volatility.2026 Inflection Point: Driving Value Re-ratingFrom a financial perspective, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics returns are shifting from incremental growth to structural explosion, driven by two core catalysts:First Catalyst is Valuation Re-rating through Industrial Leadership: As robotics moves from laboratory concepts to real-world delivery, companies with proven execution are seeing significant valuation uplifts. The national-level endorsement of the Spring Festival Gala has solidified these companies' market-leader status, generating positive feedback in financing and orders. According to market data, projects such as Galbot and X Square Robotics have already generated absolute investment returns exceeding 10x in recent financing rounds.Second catalyst is The "IPO Harvest Year" of the Capital Cycle: 2026 is poised to be the year when Shoucheng’s long-term bets move into concentrated realization. Unitree Robotics is currently in the final stages of IPO counseling and is expected to become the flagship robotics IPO of China. Analysts estimate that approximately four robotics companies within the portfolio will launch or complete their IPO processes within the year. As these assets move from private to public markets, the pricing logic will shift from technological speculation to performance-driven liquidity premiums.Scenario Closed-Loop: Evolving into an "Industrial Orchestrator"Beyond capital deployment, Shoucheng Holdings’ most forward-looking move is the construction of a commercialization closed-loop. The company is leveraging its deep resources in core commercial districts, smart parking networks, and medical parks to provide high-frequency application scenarios for its portfolio companies.Global Debut of the Robotics Service ComplexIn February 2026, Shoucheng Holdings officially launched the world’s first Integrated Robotics Service Complex in Shougang Park. This facility integrates experience, sales, maintenance, and service, marking Shoucheng’s transition from a pure investor to a deep industrial operator and "scenario orchestrator."Scenario Empowerment through "Taozhu New Creation Hub"This commercial pathway is being accelerated through the Taozhu New Creation Hub brand. By creating a path from stage exposure to offline experience and livestream conversion, Shoucheng is turning high-tech innovations into tangible consumer products. This model allows the company to capture not only equity appreciation but also stable commission and service-based cash flows, shifting toward efficiency-driven growth.Shoucheng Holdings has evolved far beyond a traditional financial investor to become an Industrial Resource Integrator and Scenario Orchestrator. Through its Capital + Scenario + Platform model, the company has built a multi-dimensional return structure. As 2026 marks the first year of large-scale robotic commercialization, Shoucheng’s years of strategic accumulation are reaching a point of resonance, triggering a comprehensive re-rating of its market value.

Asia’s Protein Buyers Still Trail Global Best Practice — But Momentum is Building, New ARE Benchmark Finds ACN Newswire

Asia’s Protein Buyers Still Trail Global Best Practice — But Momentum is Building, New ARE Benchmark Finds

SINGAPORE, Feb 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asia’s largest food retailers, manufacturers, restaurant chains, and hospitality groups remain behind international better practice on sustainable and responsible protein sourcing, but progress is accelerating across the region, according to The Asian Protein Buyers 100: An Assessment of Responsible and Sustainable Sourcing released today by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE). The APB100 is a benchmark based on investor-backed priorities - assessing how 100 of Asia’s largest listed protein-buying companies — headquartered or operating across Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mainland China, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam — manage environmental, social, and governance risks embedded in meat, dairy, poultry, and seafood supply chains. Collectively, the companies assessed represent more than USD500 billion in market capitalisation and sit at the choke point of Asia’s protein system, where procurement decisions shape production standards, risk management and food-system outcomes.The companies assessed include some of Asia’s most recognisable food and retail groups. These include China Mengniu Dairy, Yili Group, Yonghui and Yum China (Mainland China); AEON, Seven & I Holdings, Meiji, Nissin and NH Foods (Japan); CJ CheilJedang, Lotte and E-Mart (South Korea); Charoen Pokphand Foods and Thai Union (Thailand); Jollibee, Century Pacific Food and San Miguel Food & Beverage (Philippines); Vinamilk (Vietnam); and Hindustan Lever, Nestle India, Jubilant, Devyani, DMart, Westlife Foodworld (McDonald’s India) (India), among others.Scores are improving, but the baseline remains lowNow in its second edition, the benchmark shows clear momentum since 2023 — but also highlights that most companies remain at an early stage of credible implementation.The average overall score increased from 9% in 2023 to 16% in 2025, with around 80% of companies improving year-on-year. More than half of comparable companies moved up at least one performance tier.However, no company reached the top two performance tiers, underscoring a persistent gap between sustainability commitments and on-the-ground execution.A growing group of leaders is emergingThe number of companies in the leading Tier 3 group more than doubled from 10 in 2023 to 26 in 2025, while the lowest-scoring group halved from 44 to 21 companies.Progress, however, remains uneven and concentrated among a subset of early movers and sustainability themes, while a significant minority of companies continues to disclose little or nothing across several material risk areas.Climate, labour, and waste are moving fastestCompanies performed strongest on Water & Waste, Labour , and Climate Change, reflecting wider uptake of international disclosure frameworks and growing expectations around supply-chain due diligence.Climate and labour show the fastest improvement since 2023, driven by emerging regulatory pressure and investor scrutiny, particularly around Scope 3 emissions and labour standards in supply chains.Governance and protein diversification remain critical gapsSeveral material risk areas continue to show weak performance. Governance in relation to protein sustainability, remains the lowest-scoring theme, averaging just 4.5%, with most companies scoring zero. Few have board-approved protein sustainability strategies, capital allocation plans, or accountability mechanisms.Protein diversification also remains underdeveloped at 7.4%, indicating that most companies have yet to articulate how they will shift product portfolios toward truly low carbon plant proteins at scale.Disclosures on deforestation and biodiversity, animal welfare, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) also remain thin and rarely quantified. The intersection of climate and deforestation is still not being duly harnessed. Similarly, policies and procurement practices that strengthen animal welfare and enable antibiotic reduction remain a low point, with average animal welfare performance at just 14.1% and only one company aligned with recognised higher-welfare standards or independently certified disclosure.Why this matters: Asia is the decisive region for global protein systemsCompared with innovative international peers, many of Asia’s protein buyers remain behind on deforestation-free sourcing, antibiotic stewardship, higher-welfare policies and procurement, plant-protein targets and science-based climate transition planning.However, Asia now represents the most important opportunity for global leadership in responsible protein systems. And with less than five years to implement meaningful change towards various 2030 United Nations and related targets, the vision of a more responsible and sustainable food system is at risk.“Asia is the world’s fastest-growing protein market, which means what happens here will determine the future of global food systems,” said Kate Blaszak, ARE Director, Protein Transition. “ThisAPB100 shows that disclosure and awareness are improving and aims to trigger a shift from Policy to Practice. With a realm of better practice examples in the report to also assist companies, the next phase must focus on full supply-chain coverage, measurable targets, and annual progress with board-level accountability.”Download the APB100 Report HERE.About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.

India’s Power Transition Creates Clear Utility Divide ACN Newswire

India’s Power Transition Creates Clear Utility Divide

ARE report finds JSW Energy and Tata Power best positioned for firm-power era; NTPC’s execution critical as coal economics tightenSINGAPORE / NEW DELHI, INDIA, Feb 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - India’s power sector is entering a decisive new phase as electricity demand surges, peak loads hit record highs, and the country moves toward its 500GW non-fossil capacity target by 2030 post a record 52GW capacity added in FY26But the next chapter of the transition will not be defined by installed capacity alone. A new report by Asia Research & Engagement (ARE), Powering Net Zero: Pathways to Clean Energy for India’s Utility Companies, finds that the market is shifting toward firm, dispatchable and availability-linked power — creating clear divergence among India’s largest listed utilities. The analysis identifies: JSW Energy and Tata Power as best placed to monetise the transition, combining contracted renewable growth, storage depth and improving cashflow quality. Adani Green Energy remains the fastest capacity scaler with strong long-term visibility, though storage integration remains at an early stage. NTPC, India’s largest generator, retains unmatched scale and sovereign-backed financing, but its transition outcomes hinge on execution speed and managing coal’s declining role.Adani Power remains predominantly thermal, with limited exposure to the structural upside from renewables and storage. The report also highlights tightening coal economics. While new ultra-supercritical coal plants clear bids at INR5. 5–6 per kWh, effective delivered costs rise materially once utilisation, fuel volatility and compliance costs are factored in. By comparison, round-the-clock and storage-backed renewable projects are clearing between INR2.7–5.1 per kWh with availability guarantees embedded in contracts. “The debate is no longer coal versus renewables,” said Arun Kumar, Strategic Advisor for Power Markets & Technology Innovation at ARE and lead author of the report. “As procurement shifts toward round-the-clock supply, reliability and execution — not just megawatts — will determine competitive advantage.” “While this ARE study highlights significant momentum across the sector, it also identifies areas where sharper strategic clarity, improved contracting frameworks, and stronger delivery capabilities will be essential to meeting India’s long-term decarbonisation goals.” For deeper analysis and complete assessment, download the complete report HERE.

Anson Resources to Commence Drilling at Yellow Cat Uranium-Vanadium Project, Utah USA ACN Newswire

Anson Resources to Commence Drilling at Yellow Cat Uranium-Vanadium Project, Utah USA

Highlights:Yellow Cat uranium and vanadium exploration drilling program to commence;The program aims to confirm the mineralization extends for 4,500m between known Uranium and Vanadium historical workings;Sampling has yielded values up to 10.33% U3O8 and 25.6% V2O5;Drilling contractor selected and program to commence in early March.BRISBANE, AUS, Feb 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anson Resources Ltd (ASX:ASN) ("Anson" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Utah-based subsidiary, UV1 Minerals LLC, will commence a targeted exploration drilling program at the Yellow Cat Uranium-Vanadium Project located in the Thompson District of southeastern Utah, USA.Under the approved program, drilling is scheduled to begin in early March 2026 and will test a strike length of approximately 2,500 metres of uranium and vanadium mineralisation along historical trends between known workings. Previous surface sampling has confirmed significant uranium mineralisation, including values up to 10.33% U3O8 and 25.61% V2O5, affirming the prospectivity of the project area.The program will include multiple shallow drillholes to verify and extend known mineralised zones, with diamond coring supporting detailed assaying and future resource definition. The Company's objective is to confirm that the mineralisation continues between historical mining locations and to lay the groundwork for subsequent resource evaluation activities.Executive Chairman and CEO, Bruce Richardson, said:"Commencing drilling at Yellow Cat marks a key exploration milestone for Anson's U.S. portfolio. This program builds on strong historical data and our confidence in the project's potential to host additional uranium and vanadium mineralisation. We look forward to providing results in the near future."Strategic Importance of UraniumThis drilling initiative comes at an exciting juncture for uranium globally and particularly in the United States. Uranium, the fundamental fuel for nuclear power, has recently been reinstated on the U.S. Critical Minerals List, reflecting its growing importance to national energy security and supply chain resilience.The resurgence of interest in nuclear energy is driven by several critical policy and market factors:U.S. Government Focus on Critical Minerals: The 2025 Critical Minerals List reinstatement recognises uranium's strategic role, aligning federal support and incentives towards domestic fuel supply development and reducing reliance on foreign sources.Nuclear Power Expansion: With increasing electricity demand from the expansion of Data Centers and AI applications, nuclear power is gaining renewed emphasis as critical component of a diversified energy mix to support the power grid. Projects to restart existing reactors and build new advanced reactors underline the importance of secure domestic uranium supply.Regional Alignment - Utah: The State of Utah has actively positioned itself as a critical minerals hub, supported by state leaders and regulatory frameworks that encourage responsible nuclear power and critical minerals development. The presence of the White Mesa Mill, the only conventional uranium/vanadium processing facility currently operating in the U.S., enhances infrastructure synergies for projects like Yellow Cat.This combination of federal and state priorities dovetails strongly with Anson's exploration activities, underscoring the potential for both economic and strategic value creation as domestic uranium supply gains renewed momentum.Drilling Down on Yellow CatThis drilling program located on the eastern block of the project area is along strike of the historical mineral resource, see ASX Announcement 4 February 2026, that was sourced from USGS reports*. The mineralisation is shallow or comes to the surface and as a result, the mineralised horizon is located above the water table which will result in shallow drilling and minimal disturbance. The Eastern claim block of the project contains a well-defined east-west striking zone of uranium and vanadium mineralisation at excellent grades. Table 1 shows a selection of the sample results collected during Anson's previous exploration programs. Anson plans to drill the mineralised trend from the Windy Point and McCoy Group to the Cactus Rat and Mineral Treasure mines. Drill depths will range from 12m to 40m. Diamond coring of some mineralized zones would allow both assaying for uranium, vanadium and associated minerals and metallurgical studies such as density interpretations that can be used in mineral resource calculations.The exploration program aims to confirm the uranium and vanadium mineralization continues between the two historical mining locations which is a strike length of 2,500m. If successful, further drilling programs will be designed to prove up mineral resources in the eastern area. In addition, an exploration program consisting of reverse circulation (RC) and diamond (DDH) drilling that twins historical drillholes in the central block is planned to confirm the assay results of the historical drillholes. Confirmation of the assay results would enable the historical resource to be possibly upgraded to a 2012 JORC mineral resource. Numerous open drillholes have been located which would allow new downhole surveys to be carried out reducing the cost of an extensive drilling program. The water table in this area appears to be relatively level with primary uranium/vanadium mineralization.Notes:1. Underground sample location coordinates are based on location of the closest underground adit. Ore pad grad samples location coordinates are for the ore pad sampled.2. Conversion of uranium (U) to uranium oxide (U3O8) is by factor of 1.179.3. Conversion of vanadium (V) to vanadium oxide (V2O5) is by a factor of 1.785.*Mobley, C.M & Santos, E.S., 1956, Exploration For Uranium Deposits in the Yellow Cat and Saw Park Areas, Thompson District, Grand County, Utah: U.S Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations Report 448 United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey. *Alvord, D.C, 1952, Interim Report on Exploration in the Yellow Cat Area, Grand County, Utah.

天瞳威視J6B方案斬獲上海知名車企近百萬量產定點:20TOPS算力已破局? ACN Newswire

天瞳威視J6B方案斬獲上海知名車企近百萬量產定點:20TOPS算力已破局?

香港, 2026年2月13日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近日,天瞳威視宣佈,其基於地平線J6B Plus晶片打造的智能駕駛行泊一體域控制器解決方案,斬獲上海知名車企五款車型量產定點。值得關注的是,此次定點並非單一車型的淺層合作,而是規模達近百萬台級別的深度綁定,其中還包含一款海外車型,證明該方案已具全球化適配與規模化交付實力。儘管地平線官方尚未公佈其J6B Plus的確切算力資訊,但根據其將J6B系列定位為最具性價比的解決方案來推測,J6B Plus 算力預計仍處於20TOPS級別區間,與J6B算力水平基本持平。這一算力區間也是行業競爭比較激烈的"賽場"。但紙面算力趨同並不意味著技術落地能力等價,天瞳威視憑藉算力優化、自研技術創新及工程化落地能力,走出了一條差異化破局之路。一、20TOPS算力效率突圍:核心技術解析與行泊一體差異化路徑從行業視角觀察,天瞳威視能在20TOPS級算力下實現中高階智駕功能,同時滿足不同車型適配需求,背後是其算力精准降耗的差異化競爭優勢,為方案百萬台量產及海外落地提供了技術支撐。據公號資訊,該方案的核心技術基石,源於天瞳威視構建的Transformer BEV 融合地平線的Sparse4D前視感知架構。通過對感測器信息進行高效的稀疏化融合與連續時序建模,在動態障礙物跟蹤、複雜路口結構化理解以及突發性占道場景中,實現了精准識別與穩定回應,這使得系統不僅能"看清"道路,更能"理解"交通流的動態意圖,從而在實際高頻複雜場景中,系統的駕駛決策表現順暢、自然。同時,天瞳威視完全自主研發的基於BEV(鳥瞰圖)的環視感知算法,構成了系統的另一大感知支柱。它將車身四周多個攝影機的圖像資訊,实时轉化為車輛周圍統一、準確的俯視視角三維空間表達。這項能力不僅讓車輛對標準泊車位的識別穩定可靠,亦使其在面對低矮路沿、立柱、空中障礙物等傳統感知方案中的"長尾難題"時,提供更完整的環境理解支撐。從行業同梯隊方案對比來看,當前20-36TOPS中低算力行泊一體賽道呈現多元技術路徑,不同技術方案在算力需求、定位依賴、算法架構及場景適配方面形成鮮明差異,呈現出清晰的趨勢分化:一類方案依賴高精地圖與中高算力晶片,雖能實現高階功能,但地圖成本與更新壓力大,且難以下沉至主流價格帶;另一類方案側重低算力基礎功能,高階泊車、高速NOA等功能需升級高算力平台,感測器冗余設計推高硬件成本;還有一類方案以中高算力結合端到端算法,技術前瞻但成本居高不下,無法適配大眾車型。而天瞳威視的路徑則跳出這一局限,以20TOPS級算力實現中高階智駕功能,形成獨特的性價比優勢。製表:智車科技進一步來看,當前中低算力行泊一體賽道的核心對比趨勢愈發清晰:算力需求上,部分路線陷入"高算力依賴",同等功能下算力需求較天瞳威視方案高出不少,直接推高硬件成本;技術路徑上,部分路線依賴高精地圖,場景覆蓋受限,而無圖化+稀疏化感知的路線憑藉靈活性與成本優勢,逐漸成為主流車型的優選;成本控制上,多數路線要麼犧牲功能換成本,要麼依賴硬件堆砌保功能,難以實現二者平衡;市場定位上,多數路線要麼聚焦中高端車型,要麼局限於基礎功能,而天瞳威視方案精准錨定10-20萬元主流價位段,兼顧功能與成本,適配性更強。製圖:智車科技 來源:公開資料注:1.算力需求:分值越低代表算力需求越低,越適配10-20萬主流車型;2.功能等級:含行泊一體、跨層記憶泊車等高階功能覆蓋度;3.成本控制:分值越高代表成本優化能力越強;4.技術路徑:分值越高代表路徑靈活性/適配性越強;5.市場定位:分值越高代表對10-20萬主流市場的適配精准度越高綜上該方案的核心價值,在於驗證了"系統優化替代硬件堆砌"的可規模化路徑。相較於行業同類方案,天瞳威視並未選擇升級高算力晶片來換取性能提升,而是在保持硬件精簡配置的前提下,通過效率挖掘,將有限算力轉化為實際可感知的功能體驗。值得一提的是,此次方案在記憶泊車的可運行場景較此前有所拓展,除支援垂直、水平、斜列等多種標準車位的車頭或車尾自動泊入與泊出外,亦能靈活應對極窄車位、斷頭路車位、機械車位和自定义車位等複雜場景,車輛可在地圖覆蓋的任意位置迅速完成自車初始定位,並在巡航過程中從容應對避障、繞障、會車、路口通行等繁忙停車場工況,形成從"功能可用"到"場景無憂"的完整閉環。二、上海知名車企身份指向何處?從多重公開信息看百萬定點的合作底色此次官宣中,天瞳威視並未明確披露該上海知名車企的具體身份,但據多位業內人士透露,此次達成百萬台級量產合作的正是上汽。儘管雙方尚未官宣,但從資本關聯、技術積澱、量產規模、海外適配等多個維度的公開信息交叉印證,這一指向已具備充分邏輯支撐。首先,從資本維度看,據天瞳威視招股書披露,上汽集團通過旗下上汽北美、恒旭資本先後參與天瞳威視多輪融資,是其最主要的產業投資方之一。在行業投資趨於理性、智駕賽道融資降溫的背景下,這一持續性投入本身即構成明確信號:雙方關係不止於供需,更帶有長期戰略協同的性質。其次,從合作維度看, 雙方前期已在L4級Robotaxi領域達成深度合作,聯合推出全球首款以地平線J6M晶片為算力核心的Robotaxi產品ConnectOne,該產品基於上汽大通大家7車型打造,意味著雙方已在軟硬件協同、整車適配層面完成完整技術驗證。此次百萬台級L2級量產定點,正是此前合作的自然延伸。再次,從合作規模與車型佈局看,能夠一次性釋放五款車型、近百萬台量產定點的上海車企屈指可數,且需具備成熟的海外車型規劃能力。上汽作為國內產銷量居前的汽車集團,旗下多品牌、多車型矩陣完全匹配這一體量需求。而此次定點覆蓋一款海外車型,更與上汽近年來積極推進的全球化戰略高度契合。綜合資本關聯、合作維度、量產規模及海外佈局等多重資訊,此次與天瞳威視達成百萬台級定點的上海車企身份已不難識別。業內人士的透露與公開線索相互印證,多方資訊均指向上汽。三、規模化與全球化,從量產規模到海外交付的路徑延伸不過,能夠拿下如此體量的量產定點,顯然不止於資本層面的"舊識"關係。更深層的原因,是主機廠對天瞳威視技術及工程落地能力的高度認可。從業務規劃來看,規模化落地與全球化拓展,正是天瞳威視智駕佈局的兩大核心方向,此次定點恰恰是這兩條路徑交匯的縮影。這種能力的核心,從招股書分析來看,首先來自於其業界領先的L2–L2+工程化交付能力。從算法驗證到整車適配、從軟硬集成到規模交付,天瞳威視在與多家主機廠的前裝量產合作中,已形成一套高成熟度、可複用的工程交付體系。根據灼識諮詢的資料,按2024年搭載量計,天瞳威視是中國第二大同時提供行車與泊車解決方案的以軟件為核心的L2–L2+解決方案提供商,也是第三大DMS解決方案提供商。正是這套可複用的交付體系,支撐其在國內智能駕駛方案商量產定點規模與交付落地能力排名中穩居前列,也成為此次百萬台級訂單順利落地的底盤保障。與此同時,海外量產經驗與海外法規適配能力亦構成了天瞳威視另一道差異化壁壘。此次合作覆蓋一款海外車型,對方案解決商的全球合規能力提出硬性門檻。公開資料顯示,天瞳威視智能駕駛系統已通過Euro NCAP、GSR等國際主流安全標準認證,落地服務覆蓋全球超過34個國家和地區。更值得關注的是,從2024年前裝解決方案海外出貨量來看,天瞳威視是國內最大的以軟件為核心的L2–L2+級智能駕駛解決方案提供商。這套"懂法規、能交付、已落地"的能力組合,疊加清晰的出海先發優勢,與主機廠的全球化戰略形成精准咬合,也為雙方後續海外市場的協同拓展打下堅實基礎。至於這套"效率優先"的技術路徑能否在更廣泛的價格帶與品牌矩陣中持續複製,值得持續關注。本文轉載自|智車科技 鲁大师 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
