Bitget Launches "Score Your 40%" Affiliate Campaign With $1 Million Prize Pool

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 16:02:00 +0700

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched "Score Your 40%", a new global affiliate campaign featuring a $1 million USDT prize pool designed to accelerate affiliate growth and reward community builders ahead of one of the year's biggest sporting seasons.

The campaign builds on the momentum of Bitget's earlier affiliate initiatives, including "The Missing 40%", which drove a significant increase in community participation. In March alone, Bitget recorded more than 2,000 new affiliate registrations and approved over 1,500 affiliates within two weeks, reflecting growing interest in crypto referral and community-ed growth models.

Running throughout June, the campaign introduces a range of rewards, activation bonuses, and milestone incentives for both new and existing affiliates. Eligible participants can earn rewards worth up to 600 USDT through registration, verification, and campaign participation, while competing for a share of the broader $1 million USDT prize pool.

The campaign draws inspiration from the competitive spirit surrounding this summer's global football season, creating an affiliate-focused tournament designed to reward performance, community growth, and engagement. Through "Score Your 40%," Bitget aims to further expand its affiliate ecosystem while helping creators, traders, educators, and community leaders monetize their audiences more effectively.

"Bitget has grown from around 25 million users to more than 125 million in just two years. That kind of growth doesn't happen through advertising alone," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "The affiliate ecosystem has always been one of the strongest growth engines in crypto because it is built on trust. This campaign is about giving more people the opportunity to turn that influence into something meaningful."

Since November 2025, Bitget has continued expanding incentives and support for affiliates through initiatives such as Boost Month and The Missing 40%. The latest campaign builds on that foundation with what the company describes as one of its largest affiliate-focused reward programs to date.

Bitget's affiliate program is designed to lower barriers to participation, requiring as few as 100 social media followers or 500 community members to apply. Approved affiliates can access a 40% permanent rebate structure from day one, alongside a streamlined application process with reviews typically completed within 24 hours.

The campaign forms part of Bitget's broader strategy to strengthen its global affiliate network and expand participation across its growing Universal Exchange ecosystem, which spans crypto, tokenized assets, stocks, commodities, and AI-powered trading tools.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BitMEX, a leading crypto derivatives exchange, announced today a strategic integration with Banxa, a global provider of on-and-off ramp solutions. The partnership expands BitMEX's fiat-to-crypto offerings to users in over 180 countries to seamlessly convert their fiat to crypto, and vice versa.

As digital asset adoption grows, the need for accessible on-and-off ramps has become paramount. In addition to purchasing digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), users can instantly sell their cryptocurrency to receive fiat currencies directly into their bank accounts or payment cards, via Banxa's regulated network.

The partnership reinforces BitMEX's commitment to remove existing friction in trading strategies by offering a wider array of local payment methods and fiat support. Key features include:

* Broad Currency Support: Support for 30+ cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, and SOL, and 35+ fiat currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD.

* Bidirectional Conversion: Users can buy and sell crypto instantly for immediate access to their funds.

* Global Payment Flexibility: Support for Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local bank transfers (including PayPal, SEPA, and Faster Payments).

* Frictionless User Experience: Verified BitMEX users can access Banxa's fiat-to-crypto gateway without additional verification, accelerating the trading process.

"Our goal at BitMEX is to provide a professional-grade trading environment that is as accessible as it is powerful," said Raphael Polansky, Chief Growth Officer at BitMEX. "By partnering with Banxa to expand our on and off-ramp offerings, we are providing our users with more ways to close the crypto loop. Traders can now fund their accounts, execute their strategies, and realise their profits all within the BitMEX ecosystem using the payment methods they trust most."

"Infrastructure is a genuine business advantage. With BitMEX, we're delivering more than a reliable and compliant fiat to crypto ramp -- we're creating a growth engine that helps bring liquidity into the platform, supports user acquisition, and enables them to confidently scale." said Shaun Heng, Chief Product & Growth Officer at Banxa.

Users who purchase crypto on BitMEX using Banxa and other fiat providers can receive up to $110 in rewards. Those who use credit/debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay to purchase crypto with Banxa are also eligible for 0 fees from 4 June to 4 July. More information on the integration can be found here.***

Trusted by the Majority of Top 30 U.S. Accounting Firms, Caseware Launches Verity Agentic Pioneer Program

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 13:30:00 +0700

The new program enables leading firms to build, deploy and govern proprietary AI agents on Caseware Verity, the company's intelligence and orchestration platform for audit and assurance.

TORONTO, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caseware, the leading AI platform for assurance and financial reporting, today announced the launch of the Caseware Customer Acceleration Programs -- a structured set of customer partnership programs designed to accelerate the growth and increase AI innovation velocity of the firms shaping the future of the accounting profession.

The majority of top 30 U.S. accounting firms are already Caseware customers -- including Baker Tilly, Eisner Advisory Group, CBIZ, Forvis Mazars LLP, Plante Moran, CohnReznick LLP, Citrin Cooperman, Wipfli LLP, Withum, Carr Riggs & Ingram, PKF O'Connor Davies and Weaver -- underscoring the trust the profession's leading firms place in Caseware as they enter the agentic era.

The announcement builds on the recent launch of Verity and Verity Agents, Caseware's governed AI intelligence and orchestration platform, and represents the next step in enabling leading firms to move faster, build deeper and compete with greater confidence in the agentic age.

Introducing the Customer Acceleration Program

The Customer Acceleration Programs sits within the broader Caseware Partner Ecosystem -- a three-pillar framework that brings together customer partners, technology partners and industry partners to build a comprehensive, connected and governed AI platform to optimize the end-to-end assurance and financial reporting workflow for the unique needs of the audit profession.

The Customer Acceleration Programs comprises three distinct programs, each designed to meet firms where they are on their AI journey and accelerate their growth on the Caseware platform:

Agentic Pioneer Program: A co-development partnership exclusively designed to accelerate agentic development at future-forward global firms, this program enables participants to build and deploy proprietary, firm-specific AI agents directly on Caseware's governed agentic platform. Partners will have priority access to Caseware's full Agent Builder suite -- including the Agent Workbench and governed MCP interfaces for deep firm-side agent development, and Agent Studio, a streamlined environment for building and deploying agents without technical overhead.

Lighthouse Program: An innovation access program for forward-thinking firms that gain early exposure to Caseware Verity and the Verity Agent Suites to accelerate their AI adoption and efficiency gains. Lighthouse partners help shape the AI product roadmap, accelerating their own AI adoption while serving as advocates for transformation across the profession.

Advisory Program: A strategic engagement program for influential firms and industry leaders who provide expert input to guide Caseware's product development, ensuring the profession's voice remains central to how AI in audit evolves.

Caseware's collaboration programs build on an established customer base spanning more than 130 countries and 23,000 firms, corporations and government organizations worldwide. In North America, 65% of the top 200 U.S. firms and 100% of the top Canadian firms are Caseware customers. Across Europe and the UK, Caseware serves 75% of the top 50 firms in the United Kingdom, 94% of the top 50 firms in the Netherlands 100% of the top 25 firms in Germany including leading firms such as Deloitte, EY, KPMG, De Jong & Laan, and Flynth, Grant Thornton, RSM, and Azets Group.

Together, these programs are designed to accelerate AI adoption and drive growth of Caseware's customers -- giving firms the access, tools and co-development relationships to move with greater speed and confidence as the profession enters the agentic era.

"The reason leading global firms are joining the Caseware Agentic Pioneer Program is clear: they're no longer just looking for better AI tools. They're looking to build and control their own intelligence layer on a platform they can trust. What matters is having a foundation that is governed, defensible and purpose-built for the realities of audit and assurance -- not retrofitted from a generic platform or limited to a point solution. The Pioneer Program gives firms a way to shape what agentic AI looks like in practice, while ensuring every innovation strengthens the platform and helps advance the profession as a whole."

-- David Marquis, Chief Executive Officer, Caseware

Built on the Foundation of Caseware Verity and Verity Agents

The Customer Acceleration Program builds directly on Caseware's recent launch of Verity -- the company's governed AI intelligence and orchestration layer -- and the Verity Agentic Suites, which automate work across the full assurance engagement lifecycle. Backed by more than $100 million in AI investment and developed in collaboration with leading audit firms through extensive alpha and beta programs, Verity operates inside the engagement itself, applying firm methodology and orchestrating intelligence across preparing, planning, evaluating and reporting.

The Pioneer Program extends this foundation by enabling select firms to go further: developing their own agents on top of the Caseware AI Platform, with the governance, traceability and professional defensibility that regulated environments demand. Every firm-built agent operates within the same Governed Decision Environment as Verity -- citation-backed, reviewable and traceable before entering the engagement file.***

Bitget Rolls Out Stocks 2.0, Linking Tokenized Equities to Real U.S. Market Liquidity

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 13:21:00 +0700

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world's leading Universal Exchange (UEX), has announced the launch of Bitget Stocks 2.0, an upgraded tokenized stock spot product designed to improve liquidity, asset transparency, and capital efficiency for tokenized equity trading.

The product is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA issuance platform, powered by Bitget's strategic support, trading access, and asset security within its ecosystem.

The upgrade is built around three product improvements: deeper stock market liquidity, 1:1 economic mapping of the underlying stock asset, and broader use of stock tokens within Bitget's margin, strategy, and yield ecosystem. Stock 2.0 is designed to connect tokenized stock trading with real equity market liquidity from global channels. This gives users a stock spot trading experience with deeper order books, lower trading friction, and faster execution directly inside the Bitget app.

The product also supports 1:1 asset mapping for eligible stock tokens. With direct stablecoin trading using USDT. Cash dividends are also converted into USDT and credited to users' accounts. Stock dividends are reflected in user balances, while corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits are mapped to token positions to keep economic exposure aligned with the underlying stock.

Stock 2.0 also expands the role of tokenized equities inside Bitget's ecosystem. Eligible stock tokens can be used within unified account and margin systems, and can be connected to supported tools such as spot grid, futures grid, copy trading, and selected yield products. This gives users more ways to manage capital while maintaining exposure to worldwide equity assets.

"Tokenized equities are the bridge crypto is building between global markets," said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. "By 2030, we could see over 10% of global financial assets to be tokenized, which will be fueled by platforms built by access, depth, and compliance. As of today, we have successfully shipped the requirements being built for that future."

As compared to existing RWA products on platforms Bitget offers the most competitive fees in the market. The base rate is 0.1%, while the Maker/Taker fees is the same as VIP, a fixed fee of 0.05% with BGB offers and zero friction costs making it the most cost-effective route to trade stocks.

The launch builds on Bitget's early lead in tokenized equity trading, from tokenized stocks and ETFs to stock futures, and pre-IPO.

Bitget ranks amongst the first major crypto exchanges to support tokenized equities, in January 2026, the platform's cumulative tokenized stock spot volume had surpassed $1 billion, while it accounted for approximately 89% of Ondo-issued tokenized stock trading volume in December 2025. Its stock futures also crossed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, making it a pioneer in the Universal Exchange model.

The first batch of Bitget Stocks 2.0 includes 36 newly listed stock-linked assets, covering major equities and ETFs such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and QQQ. Availability is subject to user jurisdiction and applicable eligibility requirements.

Cloudera Adopts Apache Polaris to Advance Open, Governed Data Access for Enterprise AI Anywhere

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 11:57:00 +0700

New integration strengthens interoperability across open lakehouse environments, enabling enterprises to securely access and govern data anywhere it lives

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, today announced its adoption of Apache Polaris as part of its open data lakehouse architecture powered by Apache Iceberg. Announced at Snowflake Summit 2026, the integration reinforces Cloudera's commitment to open standards, interoperability, and governed access to enterprise data anywhere it resides.

As enterprises scale AI initiatives, they are increasingly challenged by fragmented data estates, governance complexity, and vendor lock-in. Cloudera's recent Data Readiness Index 2026 found that 79% of organizations say their data-backed initiatives are hindered because they cannot access 100% of the data they need across environments, while only 18% report their data is fully governed. Cloudera's adoption of Apache Polaris helps organizations securely access and share governed data across analytics and AI engines while maintaining centralized governance and operational control.

Apache Polaris, an open source catalog built around the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog specification, is designed to improve interoperability across modern data ecosystems and support governed access to enterprise data for AI and analytics. The integration enables organizations to reduce data movement and duplication while improving interoperability across modern data ecosystems, helping enterprises accelerate AI and analytics initiatives, simplify governance, and lower operational complexity across hybrid and multicloud environments.

The true benefits of interoperability are observed only if there is a trusted governance layer. Cloudera contributed a new Apache Ranger authorizer plugin as an external authorizer (Beta) in Apache Polaris 1.5-bringing enterprise-grade, centralized security and policy management to your data.

"Enterprises need the freedom to run analytics and AI wherever it makes sense for the business, without moving data or compromising governance," said Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera. "By adopting Apache Polaris, Cloudera is extending our open data strategy to help customers securely bring AI to their data anywhere it lives. Cloudera's adoption and contribution to the project reflects a shared commitment to giving enterprises greater flexibility, governance, and choice across their data ecosystems."

This builds upon Cloudera's AI & Data Anywhere strategy, enabling organizations to run AI and analytics across public clouds, data centers, and sovereign environments with consistent governance, security, and operational flexibility.

Attendees at Snowflake Summit 2026 can also connect with Cloudera onsite at Booth #1214 to learn how organizations are bringing AI to data anywhere across hybrid and multicloud environments. Cloudera will also be hosting the speaking session "3 Essentials for Building Winning AI Projects" at 1:30pm PT on Thursday, June 4 in Vertical Village Theater 2.

About Cloudera

Cloudera is the only hybrid data and AI platform company that large organizations trust to bring AI to their data anywhere it lives. Unlike other providers, Cloudera delivers a consistent cloud experience that converges public clouds, on-prem data centers, and the edge, leveraging a proven open-source foundation. As the pioneer in big data, Cloudera empowers businesses to apply AI and assert control over 100% of their data, in all forms, improving security, governance, and real-time and predictive insights. The world's largest brands across all industries rely on Cloudera to transform decision-making and ultimately boost bottom lines, safeguard against threats, and save lives.

Behind that achievement is a generation of culinary talent whose ambition and identity have never been more sharply defined.

"In four years, we have watched Vietnam grow from an exciting discovery into a clear and confident culinary destination. What excites us most this year is the talent and passion behind each restaurant. A new generation of Vietnamese chefs is leading the way, with young cooks who have trained abroad and come home to cook food that is unmistakably their own: rooted in local ingredients, local memories and local pride. That is exactly what the MICHELIN Guide has always sought to honor," said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide. "As we mark a century of the Star, Vietnam reminds us that local gastronomic stories are still being written, and that some of the most exciting chapters are unfolding right here."

One MICHELIN Star: A New Chapter for Vietnamese Fine Dining

11 restaurants are awarded One MICHELIN Star this year, marking the first time the total has surpassed single-digit since the MICHELIN Guide arrived in Vietnam. Two newcomers bring a perspective that adds new depth to Vietnam's Starred dining scene:

ONVIT (Hanoi): The first Korean restaurant in Vietnam awarded One MICHELIN Star, showcasing an upscale Korean?Vietnamese tasting menu in a tranquil setting where fresh local ingredients meet the traditions of Chef Joon Huk Chi's Korean heritage.

Upstairs (Ho Chi Minh City): An intimate four-table spot above a wine bar, offering Chef Hiệp Trương's modern Vietnamese tasting menu rooted in Central traditions.

These two newly awarded restaurants join retaining One MICHEIN Star recipients: Gia, Hibana by Koki, Tam Vị (Hanoi); Long Trieu, Ănăn Saigon, Akuna, CieL, CoCo Dining (Ho Chi Minh City); and La Maison 1888 (Da Nang).

Tales by Chapter Joins the MICHELIN Green Star Community

The MICHELIN Green Star editorially highlights restaurants that, among the MICHELIN Guide selection, have inspired and impressed Inspectors with their committed vision for the future of gastronomy.

This year, Tales by Chapter (Ho Chi Minh City) is the newest restaurant to join the MICHELIN Green Star community recognized for its rigorous zero-waste philosophy and its seasonal, plant-based menu sourced from a partner eco-farm in Da Lat[PS1] and the restaurant's own rooftop garden. The kitchen transforms trimmings through creative fermentation into mushroom garum and corn koji, while organic by-products are composted back into the soil. Guests are invited into this closed-loop system through interactive installations and a seed-matching game, making the connection between dining and environment impossible to ignore.

Bib Gourmand: 72 Establishments Celebrating the Rich Diversity of Vietnamese Cuisine

The 2026 Bib Gourmand list grows to 72 establishments, with 11 new entries showcasing establishments that our Inspectors consider good quality cooking for good value. The New Bib Gourmand entries include:

In Hanoi

Banh Cuon Gia Truyen Thanh V?n (Hang Ga Street): Open since 1973 in the heart of the Old Quarter, this family-run spot specialises in banh cuon, keeping alive a craft passed down through generations. Everything is made from scratch using traditional methods, resulting in rice rolls that are thin, delicate and soft. The family-recipe dipping sauce strikes a pleasing balance of salty, sweet and sour flavors. Fillings include pork, shrimp and chicken, with extra toppings available.

Mammom: This kitchen pays homage to the traditional home cooking of Vietnamese mothers. The chef brings a decade of experience to bear in a repertoire of nearly 100 dishes covering southern, central and northern specialities, each gently cooked with authentic seasonings that preserves their rustic character. A standout is the clam broth, brightened with tomato and pineapple, and the clams are deliciously tender, with sweet and sour flavors expertly balanced.

Pho Ha Hang H?m: A no-frills pho ga spot on Hang Hom Street, this eatery has earned loyal fans with its rich, satisfying bowls. Native fowl is gently simmered to retain a chewy tenderness, and paired with rice noodles, herbs and steaming hot broth. Xoi ga - sticky rice with chicken and extras like egg or gizzards - is also popular and often sells out early.

In Ho Chi Minh City

B?nh Canh Cua B? Ba: Tucked away down an alley, this compact shop with indoor and outdoor seating is a local favorite. The menu focuses on a single dish: banh canh cua, a vivid orange crab rice noodle soup - in a smaller bowl for one or claypot for sharing. With a zesty green chilli-lime sauce on the side, the silky broth is generously filled with fish cakes, crab leg meat and egg ribbons.

B?nh Cuốn T?y Hồ 127: This once-humble hawker is now an iconic two-storey shop known for its delicate rice paper rolls. Made to order beside the open kitchen, they boast balanced, traditional flavors, such as pork and jicama, and vegetarian options.

B?n Ri?u Yến: Set on a bustling street corner, the star of this modest eatery is b?n ri?u: rice noodles (thin, thick or flat) in a tomato and crab broth. The mildly spicy, naturally sweet broth has good depth and pairs well with generous toppings of fresh whelk meat and minced pork that soaks up the broth.

Chị Mơ: Phở is the highlight of this restaurant: with a choice of three full-bodied broths, it is made with fresh bones and simmered for 24 hours. Grilled bagrid catfish with crispy rice crackers and umami shrimp paste brings balance, complexity and smoky, textured depth.

La Lola: With its bold burnt-orange fa?ade and playful interior of tiled floors and velvet chairs, this vibrant spot delivers Mediterranean charm with a youthful twist. Chef Julio Gomez puts a local twist on classic flavors, in dishes such as gambas al ajillo - plump Vietnamese prawns in aromatic chilli-garlic oil - and a tender and well-seared Ib?rico pork steak.

In Da Nang

Ba Vui: This enduring local favorite keeps a tight focus, serving just two items: b?n g? and xoi ga. The deeply flavored clear chicken broth is lifted by light, refreshing acidity and a subtle touch of black pepper. Served warm, the sticky rice is topped with a mix of tender pulled chicken, pickled onions and a generous handful of fried shallots - and portion sizes are hearty and satisfying.

Banh Beo - Banh Dap: This humble shop focuses on just two affordable dishes: banh beo and banh đap. The steamed rice cakes arrive in sets of five, the tender bases topped with a rich pork and wood ear sauce, finished with shallots and peanuts. Made to order, the subtly tangy banh dap pairs crisp rice crackers with a soft rice wrapper; the accompanying sauce strikes a balance of sweet, salty and fermented notes.

Le Gia Khang (Ngu Hanh Son): This shop specialising in Hue-style bun bo makes its robust, savory broth fresh every day. Pick from four toppings including the signature x? qu?ch: the large L-shaped beef bone lends deep flavor and a wealth of textures - meat, cartilage and fatty edges.

MICHELIN Selected: From Street Food to Fine Dining, 110 Establishments Worth Knowing

In addition to Starred and Bib Gourmand restaurants, the MICHELIN Guide Inspectors recommend eateries whose high-quality cuisine simply won them over. This year's selection of 110 establishments with 9 new additions spans the full spectrum of Vietnam's dining landscape. Whether a decades-old local favorite or a newly opened international table, each has earned its place through one shared quality: food worth seeking out.

In Hanoie

MAU: Tucked beneath the trees of a historic Hanoi street corner, this gastro wine bar offers ? la carte dishes and a chef's menu, where the food sees modern style balanced with Asian flavors, including subtle Vietnamese notes.

Pho Ga Huyn Hương: The concise menu focuses on deeply satisfying bowls of pha. The chicken broth is rich and hearty, offering depth. A beef option provides an equally robust alternative.

ZAO: This lively, laid-back restaurant combines global flair and Vietnamese roots, as the Hanoi-born chef is a returnee from a career abroad. Dishes such as tomato bingsu - heirloom cherry tomatoes, buffalo cheese and lime-basil granita - set the tone, alongside razor clam pate or salmon with baby sprouts for a zingy, refreshing start.

In Ho Chi Minh City

Apero: Opened in 2022, the open kitchen turns out unpretentious Italian fare, with pasta as a highlight. Try the rich and creamy carbonara with crispy bacon and parmesan, and save room for the house-made tiramisu.

N?M: Nom's tasting menu unfolds as a thoughtful journey through Vietnam's culinary heritage, moving from the north to central regions, ending with a southern-inspired dessert. Familiar dishes are reworked with finesse - think elegant, complex Hue-style beef noodle soup, or rich fish soup lifted by herb oil and caviar. Each floor reflects a different part of Vietnam, just like the menu.

Qu?n ăn Ngự B?nh: Opened decades ago, this modest spot serving Hue comfort food in a casual, welcoming setting has a loyal following. The b?n bo Hue features tender beef in a light and soothing soup; banh beo and nem nướng are ordered by nearly every table.

Sono: Opened in 2022, Chef Ki?n Phan blends traditional and modern, crafting dishes that reflect a deep respect for Vietnamese culture. The a la carte menu revolves around the grill, and each tasting menu has its own theme.

Tales by Chapter: Vietnam's first zero-waste, plant-based fine dining concept, this serene villa setting serves seasonal tasting menus based on local produce, rooftop-grown herbs and fermentation. Diners can see dishes being crafted at the chef's counter, such as corn pie tee - crisp cups of soy-corn pur?e, charred kernels, kimchi and fermented chili - and chewy porcini-filled rice dumpling cake in a reimagined banh bot lọc.

In Da Nang:

D? Hoa (Hoa Cuong): Run by a husband-and-wife team for over 30 years, D? Hoa serves Da Nang-style rice paper snacks - kho and ưot - with various toppings. Their kh? trứng, often described as "Vietnamese pizza", is a standout: thin yellow rice paper with quail eggs, pate, pork floss and shallots is grilled until crisp.

MICHELIN Guide Special Awards

The MICHELIN Guide Special Awards recognize the individuals whose passion and professionalism elevate the entire dining experience. This year's recipients reflect a broader shift the Inspectors have witnessed across Vietnam: a new generation of hospitality professionals is rising - in the kitchen, on the floor, and behind the wine list - combining international standards with a deeply personal connection to Vietnamese culture.

The MICHELIN Guide Opening of the Year Award

New to the 2026 edition, the MICHELIN Guide Opening of the Year Award is given to individuals and teams for the successful opening of a dining venue over the past 12 months, with a creative degustation concept and a cuisine approach which has had an impact on the local gastronomic scene. This year's award is presented to Chef Chris Fong of N?M in Ho Chi Minh City. Derived from ancient Vietnamese script, N?M seamlessly blends Vietnam's history and culture through innovative culinary classics and "mini-museums" of traditional crafts, offering an immersive journey across the nation's rich gastronomic heritage.

TestMu AI Introduces SmartUI Build Data Export for Visual Testing Workflows

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 11:17:00 +0700

The new capability enables teams to export SmartUI build data in PDF, CSV, and JSON formats for reporting, collaboration, and downstream automation

SAN FRANCISCO and NOIDA, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TestMu AI Introduces SmartUI Build Data Export for Visual Testing Workflows

The new capability enables teams to export SmartUI build data in PDF, CSV, and JSON formats for reporting, collaboration, and downstream automation

SAN FRANCISCO and NOIDA, India, June 04, 2026 - TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first full-stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, today announced the launch of SmartUI Build Data Export, a new capability within SmartUI that allows teams to export visual testing build data directly from the dashboard in PDF, CSV, and JSON formats.

The update is designed to simplify how engineering, QA, and release teams share and operationalize visual testing insights across workflows. As visual regression testing becomes increasingly integrated into modern CI/CD pipelines, organizations require easier ways to distribute build-level comparison data, attach evidence to tickets, generate stakeholder summaries, and integrate test outcomes into reporting systems.

With the new export functionality, teams can now download SmartUI build data-including comparison results, statuses, and associated metadata-without relying on APIs or CLI-based workflows. Exports can be generated directly from the SmartUI dashboard once a build is complete.

"Visual testing data is often consumed by far more teams than just QA," said Mudit Singh, Co-Founder and Head of Growth at TestMu AI. "Engineering leaders, release managers, support teams, and stakeholders all need access to reliable build insights in formats that fit naturally into their workflows. SmartUI Build Data Export makes that information significantly easier to operationalize across the organization."

The feature supports multiple export formats depending on downstream use cases. PDF exports provide readable summaries suitable for release reviews and stakeholder communication, CSV exports support spreadsheet analysis and BI workflows, while JSON exports enable integration into scripts, custom dashboards, and automation pipelines.

The capability is built directly into the SmartUI dashboard experience. Users can access exports from the build view through the build menu after the visual comparison data finishes loading. The system then generates downloadable build artifacts containing the latest comparison outcomes and metadata for that run.

The launch further expands SmartUI's visual testing ecosystem, which already includes capabilities such as Smart Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Visual AI Agent, PDF testing, bulk operations, and advanced screenshot comparison workflows.

SmartUI Build Data Export is now available for SmartUI users.

About TestMu AI

TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest) is the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, designed to enable organizations to automate and scale testing with intelligence at its core. By combining autonomous capabilities with seamless integration across modern development workflows, TestMu AI empowers teams to deliver faster, more reliable, and secure software in an AI-first world.

Exotic Food Elevates Thai Brands onto the Global Stage

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 11:07:00 +0700

Transforming Thai Sriracha Sauce into a Premium Global Brand Exported to More Than 80 Countries, Generating Over THB 2 Billion in Revenue

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 June 2026 - Exotic Food Public Company Limited (XO), a leading Thai producer and exporter of premium Thai sauces and condiments under the brands Exotic Food and Flying Goose, is reinforcing the strength of Thailand's "Global Thai Brand" potential after successfully bringing Thai food products into leading supermarkets and modern trade retailers across more than 80 countries worldwide.

In 2025, the company generated over THB 2 billion in revenue through a strategy focused on elevating Thai products from commodities into premium global brands with strong value creation and international brand recognition.

The company's journey began with a clear vision: recognizing the global opportunity for Thai cuisine at a time when the international Asian condiments market remained relatively untapped, while consumers around the world were becoming increasingly open to new culinary cultures. From the outset, Exotic Food chose to focus on international markets by developing Thai food products that meet global standards and are suitable for placement in premium supermarkets worldwide, while building distinctive brands capable of standing out and being remembered internationally.

Today, the global sauces and condiments market continues to experience strong growth, driven by rising consumer interest in home cooking, the growing popularity of Asian cuisine, and increasing demand for bold and spicy flavours. Sriracha sauce, in particular, has become one of the fastest-growing categories within the global condiments sector, fuelled by the worldwide rise of Asian food culture and its versatility across international menus.

According to IMARC Group, the global hot sauce market is expected to reach approximately US$5.7 billion in 2025. Meanwhile, Statista estimates the global sauces and condiments market to be worth around US$280.35 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 6.14%. Fortune Business Insights projects the market will expand from US$259 billion in 2024 to more than US$380 billion by 2032, reflecting continued momentum driven by consumers' growing appetite for diverse international flavours.

For Exotic Food, "Brand Value" remains at the core of long-term business growth and serves as a critical differentiator beyond price competition. The company strategically positions Thai products as premium offerings through modern and eye-catching packaging designed to stand out on supermarket shelves globally, while preserving authentic Thai flavours and adapting products to suit international consumer preferences.

Under the Flying Goose brand, the company offers more than 50 Sriracha sauce flavours, while the Exotic Food brand features over 700 SKUs of Thai condiments and ready-to-cook products. Beyond product development, Exotic Food places significant emphasis on long-term brand building through marketing campaigns and collaborations with renowned chefs, local restaurants, and international lifestyle brands, including Anya Hindmarch? and Percival. These collaborations create new consumer experiences and allow the brand to connect more closely with local food cultures and lifestyles in each market.

Another key pillar of the company's strategy is its exclusive distributor model, appointing only one distributor per country to foster long-term partnerships and improve market efficiency. Today, Exotic Food products are available at more than 30,000 points of sale worldwide.

Ms. Vasana Jantarach, Chief Executive Officer of Exotic Food Public Company Limited, said the company chose to focus on international expansion from the early stages of the business because it recognized a "Blue Ocean" opportunity capable of creating significant added value for Thai products through the right brand positioning strategy.

"We never wanted to be merely a manufacturer of Thai food products. Our goal has always been to build Thai brands that consumers around the world trust and remember. Our success demonstrates that Thai SMEs are fully capable of creating world-class brands when supported by strong quality, international standards, and powerful brand value," said Ms. Vasana.

Ms. Vasana added that both Flying Goose and Exotic Food currently have their strongest market presence in Europe, where demand continues to grow steadily. The company has also begun expanding into new markets across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, reflecting the rising global popularity of Thai cuisine and the significant growth potential of Thai flavours in international markets.

At the same time, the company continues to invest in international quality standards, automation systems, research and development, as well as proactive cost and risk management to strengthen its long-term competitiveness. Exotic Food is also focused on developing new products and innovations aligned with health and sustainability trends, which are increasingly becoming key drivers for modern food brands.

Looking ahead, Exotic Food is preparing to showcase more than 700 SKUs at THAIFEX - Anuga Asia 2026, one of Asia's largest food and beverage trade exhibitions. The event serves as an important platform for expanding international business opportunities and connecting with buyers, importers, supermarket chains, and business partners from around the world - further reinforcing the global rise of Thai food brands under the concept of a "Premium Global Thai Brand."

WellSpan Health and Philips Announce Landmark Strategic Alliance, Accelerating Innovation and Research Across Central Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:50:00 +0700

June 4, 2026

Seven-year collaboration puts WellSpan at the forefront of diagnostics and imaging in community health through a groundbreaking research and innovation strategy aimed at shaping the future of care delivery

Amsterdam and YORK, Pa. - Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and WellSpan Health, the leading health care system in Central Pennsylvania and Northern Maryland, today announced a landmark seven-year strategic alliance that establishes a new research and innovation collaboration and brings new advanced imaging and diagnostics technology products and platforms to patients across the region. The alliance is the latest addition to WellSpan's growing innovation ecosystem, positioning the system as a national leader in the application of artificial intelligence and technology in health care.

"As WellSpan has grown in clinical capability, so has our responsibility to be more intentional about how we plan, deploy and support the life-saving technology our teams and patients rely on," said Roxanna Gapstur, Ph.D., R.N., WellSpan president and CEO. "This collaboration gives us that foundation, bringing consistency and coordination across our entire system, advancing digital and AI-enabled care and building a leading research and co-development platform that will transform the future of health care. Community health systems like WellSpan are where most Americans receive care, and we are proving they belong at the center of health care innovation."

The collaboration includes a research agreement and joint innovation strategy, the first of its kind between Philips and a U.S. community health system, which will focus on validating the performance of new tools and technology. Research is expected to examine how AI and digital tools are improving throughput, cost and workflow efficiency, aimed at advancing WellSpan's commitment to reclaim more than half a million hours of workforce time annually.

In addition, the innovation component of this relationship will allow WellSpan, together with Philips Research, to co-develop net-new products and features that advance care delivery. This work will draw on Philips' R&D pipeline to design and develop future generations of health care technology, with WellSpan serving as both a proving ground and a co-creator.

A long-term commercial agreement establishes Philips as WellSpan's preferred vendor across all applicable imaging modalities (CT, MR, digital X-ray, ultrasound, and image-guided therapy). The agreement covers all 12 WellSpan hospitals, as well as its diagnostic imaging centers and ambulatory surgery centers, ensuring a consistent experience for patients wherever they need care. A defining feature of the commercial agreement is its structured approach to technology lifecycle management: WellSpan and Philips will align equipment, service, training and upgrade planning under a single coordinated framework, enabling more consistent imaging availability across sites, reducing gaps in access for patients and laying the foundation for continued innovation.

"This collaboration builds on a long-standing relationship between Philips and WellSpan, and it also marks an important evolution in how we work together," said Roy Jakobs, CEO, Royal Philips. "By combining our health technology leadership with WellSpan's clinical expertise and research focus, we're creating a long-term alliance designed to drive measurable improvements in patient care quality, operational performance and innovation. Together, we're establishing a scalable, AI-driven, platform-based approach that supports clinicians today while shaping how care is delivered in the future."

ARKAY - DRINK HAPPY. No alcohol. No hangover. Just happiness.

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 06:57:00 +0700

MIAMI, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARKAY Beverages, a pioneer in alcohol-free spirits and zero-proof beverage alternatives, today announced a new brand message designed to express the company's deeper mission: ARKAY does not simply sell alcohol-free spirits -- ARKAY sells happiness, freedom, celebration, responsibility, and a better way to enjoy life.

The new message reflects ARKAY's belief that consumers are no longer only looking for beverages. They are looking for experiences, lifestyle choices, social connection, balance, wellness, safety, and moments of joy without the negative effects of alcohol.

For more than a decade, ARKAY has developed alcohol-free alternatives inspired by traditional spirits, cocktails, and classic drinking rituals. However, the company believes its true mission goes far beyond the bottle.

"ARKAY is not just a beverage company," said Reynald Vito Grattagliano, Founder of ARKAY Beverages. "We do not only sell alcohol-free spirits. We sell happiness. We sell the possibility to celebrate, socialize, relax, enjoy flavor, stay in control, avoid drunk driving, and be part of the moment without alcohol."

ARKAY's alcohol-free product portfolio was created for consumers who want the experience of whisky, vodka, gin, rum, tequila-style drinks, liqueurs, cocktails, and mocktails without consuming alcohol. The company's mission is to give people more choices, whether they are avoiding alcohol for health, lifestyle, religious, professional, personal, family, safety, or social reasons.

Beyond taste and product innovation, ARKAY was created with a broader mission: to help people make better choices and live better lives.

ARKAY offers consumers a way to enjoy the flavor, ritual, and social experience of traditional spirits without alcohol. This can help people participate in celebrations while staying in control, avoiding intoxication, preventing drunk driving, and reducing the negative consequences often associated with alcohol consumption.

The company believes alcohol-free spirits can play an important role in modern society by giving consumers a responsible alternative for parties, dinners, events, restaurants, bars, business meetings, family gatherings, and everyday moments.

ARKAY is not here only to replace alcohol. ARKAY is here to help people feel better, act better, drive safer, wake up better, and live better.

"ARKAY is a mission," added Grattagliano. "We want to help people drink differently, think differently, and make better choices. If ARKAY can help someone avoid drunk driving, stay in control, enjoy the moment, and wake up the next morning feeling good, then we are doing much more than selling beverages -- we are helping people live a better life."

As the alcohol-free movement continues to grow, ARKAY believes the future of the beverage industry will be driven by emotional value as much as product innovation. Consumers want brands that support how they want to live, how they want to feel, and how they want to be included in social occasions.

ARKAY's new message -- "We Don't Sell Alcohol-Free Spirits, We Sell Happiness", will become part of the company's broader communication strategy across ecommerce, retail, social media, advertising, brand ambassadors, distributors, hospitality partners, and international markets.

The company says the message is especially important because many consumers do not simply want a substitute for alcohol. They want a positive alternative. They want to enjoy the ritual of drinking without the pressure, the intoxication, the hangover, or the social exclusion that often comes with refusing alcohol.

"People want to be included," said Grattagliano. "They want to hold a beautiful drink, enjoy a great flavor, participate in celebrations, and still wake up the next morning feeling good. That is what ARKAY represents. ARKAY is about happiness, freedom, responsibility, safety, and drinking differently."

ARKAY's slogan, DRINK DIFFERENTLY, supports this vision. The brand encourages consumers to rethink what it means to celebrate, connect, and enjoy beverages in modern life.

The company believes alcohol-free spirits are not only a beverage category, but a cultural shift. More consumers are questioning traditional drinking habits and searching for alternatives that better match today's lifestyle: wellness, productivity, family, faith, safety, health, responsibility, and personal control.

ARKAY's products are designed for a wide range of consumers, including non-drinkers, occasional drinkers, sober-curious consumers, designated drivers, athletes, professionals, parents, hospitality guests, event attendees, and anyone who wants to enjoy the taste and ceremony of spirits without alcohol.

The new brand message will also support ARKAY's worldwide brand ambassador initiative. The company is inviting consumers, influencers, retailers, event organizers, restaurants, hotels, bars, distributors, and alcohol-free lifestyle supporters to help promote a new way of drinking centered on enjoyment, responsibility, safety, and inclusion.

ARKAY believes that alcohol-free beverages should not be presented as a limitation, but as a better choice for many occasions. The brand wants to change the conversation from "what people are giving up" to "what people are gaining."

With ARKAY, consumers gain choice. They gain freedom. They gain inclusion. They gain a way to celebrate without alcohol. They gain the possibility to enjoy the moment while staying in control. They gain a way to drink differently.

"Selling beverages is not enough," said Grattagliano. "The world has enough bottles on the shelf. What people really want is happiness, connection, confidence, safety, responsibility, and a better life. That is what ARKAY is building."

ARKAY plans to integrate the new message into upcoming advertising campaigns, ecommerce pages, social media content, distributor communications, retail presentations, customer education materials, and brand ambassador programs.

The company believes this emotional positioning will help ARKAY stand apart in the growing alcohol-free beverage market by focusing not only on what the product is, but on what the product makes possible.

ARKAY does not want to be seen only as a company selling alcohol-free spirits. ARKAY wants to be recognized as a movement helping people celebrate differently, live better, drive safer, make smarter choices, and enjoy happiness without alcohol.***

HOFA Gallery Mempersembahkan Pameran Specimens of Time: The Glitched Sublime Karya Maja Petric, yang Dibuka selama SXSW London 2026

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 21:52:00 +0700

LONDON, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HOFA Gallery dengan bangga mempersembahkan Specimens of Time: The Glitched Sublime, sebuah pameran baru karya Maja Petric yang dibuka selama SXSW London 2026. Pada momen yang semakin dibentuk oleh kecepatan, otomatisasi, dan produksi digital tanpa henti, pameran ini menawarkan peran berbeda bagi teknologi: medium untuk makna, persepsi, dan keterhubungan yang mendalam dengan dunia alam.

Selama lebih dari dua dekade, Petric mengembangkan praktik yang mengintegrasikan AI kustom, robotika, cahaya, dan data lingkungan yang real time untuk menciptakan karya-karya yang bentuknya lahir langsung dari perubahan ekologis. The Glitched Sublime dikembangkan melalui kolaborasi dengan peneliti AI dan ahli robotika Mihai Jalobeanu, menggunakan data iklim Arktik secara langsung sebagai material utamanya.

Karya ini berangkat dari satu premis: karya seni bukan sekadar penggambaran perubahan lingkungan, melainkan rekaman fisik atas perubahan itu sendiri. Di Arktik, pemanasan berlangsung dua kali lebih cepat daripada rata-rata global sehingga mengganggu kestabilan kondisi musiman yang menjadi dasar kehidupan di kawasan tersebut. Bunga poppy Arktik tumbuh dalam kondisi ini, mekar dalam waktu singkat sebelum suhu lingkungan melampaui batas yang memungkinkan mereka bertahan hidup. Pameran ini menelusuri proses terurainya kondisi tersebut melalui patung kotak cahaya dan karya pigmen yang dihasilkan oleh robotika kustom serta AI, yang merespons data iklim langsung secara real time.

Di SXSW London 2026

Dipresentasikan dalam SXSW London 2026, Specimens of Time: The Glitched Sublime menghadirkan dialog dengan fokus festival pada kecerdasan buatan, otomatisasi, dan masa depan pengalaman manusia. Berbeda dengan banyak budaya AI generatif saat ini, pameran ini menawarkan arah berbeda bagi teknologi, yaitu arah yang berpusat pada memori ekologis, pengalaman ragawi, dan keterhubungan kembali dengan dunia kehidupan.

Bersamaan dengan pameran ini, Petric akan mempresentasikan Art, Tech & Nature: The Glitched Sublime di SXSW London pada Rabu, 3 Juni, pukul 11.40 hingga 12.10 di Protein Studios (Stage 2). Ia juga akan tampil dalam panel Worldbuilding for the Senses: When Art Meets Experience Meets Brand pada Kamis, 4 Juni, pukul 16.10 hingga 16.50 di Truman Brewery (Truman Stage 1).
