WUHU, China, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On October 22, during the global user ecosystem activities held alongside the 2026 Chery International User Summit, Chery launched the "Ride Green Life" lakeside low-carbon cycling ride. Under the shared vision of "One nature, one future," the initiative calls for integrating nature conservation, biodiversity and sustainable action into product experiences, user engagement, organizational decision-making and everyday life.

Beyond the high-tech exhibition area, an 10.6-kilometer low-carbon ride had just concluded. As part of the call to action, international media, industry partners and user representatives from around the world cycled around the park, scanned codes to record their carbon footprints and took part in the initiative in the most direct way.

Ride Green Life

During the event, IUCN highlighted its four-year programme Nature 2030: One Nature, One Future, which guides the Union's work to realise its vision of "a just world that values and conserves nature," and aligns with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Since launching the global "Cherish the Nature" partnership with IUCN in 2024, Chery and IUCN have continued to build a cooperation mechanism around nature conservation, environmental education and public engagement, delivering impact in safeguarding biodiversity, enhancing climate resilience, and empowering communities.

At the Summit, Chery donated Chery-branded jerseys signed by Robert Lewandowski, Chery's Global Brand Ambassador and UNICEF Poland Ambassador, to UNICEF China.

Since 2023, Chery Group has committed US$12 million to support UNICEF's global education programmes across Mexico, China, South Africa, T?rkiye, Indonesia, and Viet Nam. Chery also participated for the first time in a high-level meeting on the Learn AI Global Compact during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week, advocating technology- and innovation-driven education transformation.

Alongside this expanding green ecosystem, Chery's Volt-dragon Charger and V2G Smart Charging Center highlighted its advances in energy management. The megawatt-level ultra-fast charging technology can deliver "5 minutes of charging for 500 kilometers of range," while bidirectional V2G vehicle-to-grid interaction allows vehicles to charge during off-peak periods and feed electricity back to the grid during peak hours, transforming them into mobile storage units that can participate in urban grid dispatch.

WUHU, Tiongkok, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Persaingan antar-produsen otomotif dalam pengembangan teknologi cerdas kini semakin pesat dan tidak lagi terbatas pada kabin kendaraan. Kemampuan persepsi, pengambilan keputusan, dan pengendalian yang terus disempurnakan dalam dunia otomotif kini mulai merambah ke lingkungan rumah, layanan perkotaan, dan berbagai ruang fisik lainnya.

AiMOGA Robotics, merek AI berwujud milik Chery, membuka pemesanan awal (pre-order) global untuk Mobo, robot pendamping rumah tangga pertamanya, dalam acara peluncuran global di Wuhu. Peluncuran ini menandai langkah AiMOGA dari sektor layanan komersial menuju pasar robot rumah tangga bagi konsumen.

Didukung oleh agen cerdas MoAgent, Mobo memadukan kemampuan mengenali tata ruang rumah, interaksi alami, pengendalian gerakan seluruh tubuh, memori jangka panjang, serta arsitektur kolaborasi antara komputasi edge dan cloud. Hal ini memungkinkan Mobo secara mandiri membagi tugas-tugas jangka panjang menjadi beberapa tahapan serta beradaptasi dengan lingkungan rumah yang kompleks. Dengan 22 derajat kebebasan gerak tubuh, Mobo mampu mengenali anggota keluarga, mengingat preferensi mereka, serta memastikan privasi data terlindungi secara menyeluruh. Mobo dirancang untuk memenuhi tiga kebutuhan utama, yaitu perawatan dan pendampingan lansia, pendampingan anak-anak, serta perawatan seluruh anggota keluarga.

Dalam acara tersebut, 35 pengguna awal ditunjuk sebagai Global Angel User Experience Ambassadors pertama Mobo. Sejak debut di World Robot Conference pada bulan Agustus lalu, Mobo telah menarik minat lebih dari 10.000 calon pengguna di seluruh dunia.

AiMOGA berencana membangun jaringan awal yang mencakup 300 pusat pengalaman di seluruh dunia. Perusahaan juga akan mendukung mitra ekosistemnya di berbagai bidang, termasuk solusi, pemasaran digital, layanan keuangan dan asuransi, serta dukungan purnajual. AiMOGA juga berencana menghadirkan merek penyewaan robot berskala global yang melayani sektor layanan kesehatan, transportasi, pendidikan, keamanan, budaya, dan pariwisata.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 October 2026 - The New Asia Forum (NAF) 2026 aims to mobilize US$30 billion in investment across the New Asia region by strengthening strategic partnerships and accelerating investment execution. Held under the patronage of President Prabowo Subianto, with Danantara Indonesia as a founding partner, the forum will take place on 3?4 December 2026 in Bali, Indonesia.

NAF 2026 is designed as an action-oriented platform connecting global investors, industry leaders, and policymakers to advance investment opportunities across strategic sectors. Moving beyond conventional economic dialogue, the forum seeks to translate investment interest into concrete commitments, financing structures, and measurable outcomes.

Pahala Nugraha Mansury, Managing Director of Global Relations & Communications at Danantara Indonesia, emphasized Asia's growing potential to attract long-term global capital amid shifting economic and geopolitical dynamics.

"Our focus is on encouraging long-term capital to recognize the many investment opportunities across Asian countries, because this is precisely where the center of gravity for growth lies. This will enable growth at scale, anchored by ASEAN and driven by Indonesia as the largest country in ASEAN," said Pahala.

The Asia-Pacific region currently accounts for nearly 60% of global economic growth. However, long-term international capital allocation to the region remains below its potential, presenting significant opportunities for greater investment collaboration.

NAF 2026 expects to convene more than 1,000 global leaders, feature over 100 speakers, and host more than 40 sessions involving sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors, development finance institutions, multinational corporations, and government representatives. Notable speakers include President Prabowo Subianto of Indonesia; Masayoshi Son, Chairman and CEO of SoftBank Group; Tshering Tobgay, Prime Minister of Bhutan; Kathleen Quirk, Chief Executive Officer of Freeport-McMoRan; Matteo Renzi, former Prime Minister of Italy; and Israfil Mammadov, Chief Executive Officer of the State Oil Fund of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The forum will follow a two-day structure: Discovery & Diligence on 3 December, focusing on investment opportunities, feasibility, and transaction structures; and Action & Execution on 4 December, advancing capital commitments, strategic partnerships, and implementation milestones.

Eight priority sectors will anchor the discussions: strategic resources and downstreaming; energy and power; advanced mobility and manufacturing; digital infrastructure and AI; food and agribusiness; trade and connectivity; tourism and creative economy; and education and human capital.

As a founding partner, Danantara Indonesia will participate as a co-investor alongside global partners, supporting investment in strategic sectors and reinforcing Indonesia's role in regional economic transformation.

Through its transaction-focused approach, NAF 2026 aims to deliver preliminary investment agreements, bankable financing structures, and clearly defined implementation milestones. Investment commitments and progress will be tracked across subsequent editions to promote accountability, continuity, and tangible economic impact for Indonesia and the wider region.

The Company secured U.S. and global strategic manufacturing partnerships with premier manufacturers in the U.S., Vietnam, Taiwan, China, and Cambodia.

Safety Standardization Mandatory Code and Insurance Exposure

SKYX's Safety Code Standardization Team is receiving support from a prominent new leader in connection with its government safety agency process for mandatory safety standardization of its electrical ceiling outlet/receptacle technology.

SKYX's code team is led by industry veterans Mark Earley, former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of the American Lighting Association (ALA). The Company's Safety Code Standardization Team believes it will garner assistance from additional safety organizations in its mandatory safety code standardization efforts based on the product's significant safety aspects. Mr. Earley and Mr. Jacobson were instrumental in numerous code and safety changes in both the electrical and lighting industries. Both strongly believe that, considering the Company's standardization progress, including ANSI / NEMA (American National Standards Institute / National Electrical Manufacturers Association) voting to approve its product specification and its technology being voted into 10 segments of the NEC Code Book, its technology has met the necessary safety conditions for becoming a ceiling safety standardization requirement for homes and buildings.

The Company strongly believes its products can save insurance companies many billions of dollars annually by minimizing risks (e.g., reducing fires, ladder fall injuries, and electrocutions). Management expects that insurance companies will use the Company's range and variations of its safe advanced plug & play products to reduce their exposure and minimize their risks.

A statue tells the story of "Half a Quilt" in Shazhou, Hunan Province, central China. /VCG

BEIJING, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CGTN published an article marking the 90th anniversary of the Red Army's victory in the Long March. Using the story of "Half a Quilt" as a starting point, the article highlights President Xi Jinping's emphasis on carrying forward the Long March spirit as China advances its modernization, while exploring what international observers believe China's development experience can offer the Global South.

In the winter of 1934, three female Red Army soldiers arrived at the home of Xu Jiexiu, a poor villager in Shazhou Village, Hunan Province, during the Long March. Seeing that Xu's family had little to keep them warm, the soldiers cut their only quilt in half and left a portion with her before departing.

The gesture became known as the story of "Half a Quilt," a lasting symbol of the bond between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the people.

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday recalled the story at a gathering commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Red Army's Long March victory.

"Only by remembering history can we create a brighter future," said Xi. He stressed that the people's support was crucial to the victory of the Long March and called for new achievements on China's journey toward modernization.

From half a quilt to better lives

When Xi visited the "half a quilt"-themed exhibition hall in September 2020, he called for standing together with the people on the Long March of the new era.

Today, that commitment is reflected in efforts to improve livelihoods. The village provides monthly subsidies for residents aged 60 and above and covers half of villagers' basic medical insurance contributions. A child-friendly service program also extends across nine neighboring villages.

For Xu's descendants, the changes are tangible. Her grandson, Zhu Xiaohong, once lived in poverty. With support from local CPC authorities, he received culinary training and opened a restaurant.

"In the past, the Red Army gave us half a quilt; now the Party has brought us happy lives," Zhu has said.

Josef Gregory Mahoney, a professor of politics and international relations at East China Normal University, told CGTN that the Long March's enduring lesson is that public trust is built by addressing people's needs and sharing both hardships and achievements. Today, poverty alleviation and rural revitalization likewise depend on ensuring that people see tangible benefits in their lives.

As Xi stressed on Thursday, staying committed to the Party's ideals and purpose and relying closely on the people are essential to creating new achievements.

A new Long March

Today, Shazhou is forging its own path on the new Long March, turning its revolutionary heritage and ecological resources into opportunities for sustainable development and shared prosperity.

The village has restored revolutionary sites and developed red tourism while improving its living environment through river management, sewage treatment and waste collection. The wider area has also promoted specialty fruit growing and integrated agriculture with tourism, creating new opportunities for local businesses and employment while supporting more sustainable rural development.

The results are reflected in local figures. Shazhou was removed from the list of impoverished villages in 2018. By 2025, villagers' annual per capita net income had risen from less than 4,000 yuan (about $634) in 2012 to more than 25,000 yuan, while collective village income had grown from virtually zero to over 1 million yuan.

Brazilian expert Rafael Henrique Zerbeto, who joined a program retracing the Long March, noted that putting the people first remains vital to China's development. From safeguarding revolutionary heritage to fostering characteristic industries that boost local incomes, he observed how China is channeling the Long March spirit into a driving force for high-quality development.

A recent CGTN survey of 12,000 respondents across 41 countries found that 63.9% of global respondents closely associate CPC leadership with China's development achievements. Among respondents from Global South countries, the figure reached 71.4%.

For Mahoney, the Long March also offers lessons for the Global South: development paths must reflect local conditions, while shared challenges require international cooperation. Its broader message is that lasting progress comes from drawing on a country's own strengths while working with others toward common goals.

As Xi said in his anniversary speech, the spirit of the Long March remains "a precious treasure and a powerful driving force inspiring us to overcome difficulties and forge ahead courageously."

Layanan baru ini mengubah pengetahuan, templat, dan praktik terbaik perusahaan menjadi agen AI yang dapat disesuaikan, untuk menghasilkan presentasi bisnis yang profesional dan siap pakai di dunia bisnis

NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Templafy, platform pembuatan dokumen berbasis agen AI, hari ini mengumumkan peluncuran Templafy Team. Layanan baru ini memungkinkan tim profesional membangun, menyesuaikan, dan membagikan Agen Dokumen yang dirancang khusus sesuai kebutuhan mereka, dengan dukungan pengetahuan perusahaan, templat, serta konten tepercaya.

Dengan semakin banyaknya integrasi AI dalam alur kerja bisnis sehari-hari, para profesional kini memiliki lebih banyak alat untuk menghasilkan konten dibandingkan sebelumnya. Namun, memastikan hasilnya berkualitas tinggi dan konsisten masih menjadi tantangan. Hal ini terutama terasa ketika tim harus berulang kali membuat presentasi, proposal, dan materi untuk klien yang serupa.

Templafy Team dirancang untuk tim yang banyak berurusan dengan dokumen, seperti tim konsultan, jasa profesional, layanan keuangan, dan penjualan. Layanan ini memadukan Agen Dokumen yang dapat disesuaikan dengan teknologi pembuatan dokumen milik Templafy yang telah dipatenkan. Kini, tim bisnis tidak perlu lagi berulang kali memberikan perintah kepada AI atau menyusun ulang presentasi dari pekerjaan sebelumnya. Mereka dapat menuangkan pengetahuan, keahlian, dan praktik terbaik ke dalam agen bersama yang bisa digunakan kembali dalam berbagai alur kerja berulang.

Oskar Konstantyner, CPO Templafy, mengatakan: "AI telah semakin mempermudah pembuatan konten, tetapi menghasilkan dokumen hanyalah satu bagian dari upaya menuntaskan pekerjaan.

Building the operational foundation for next-generation intelligence across hotel environments

SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYForce Inc. (Nasdaq: YFOR) ("YYForce" or the "Company"), an AI-enabled workforce management and integrated facility management provider, today outlined its vision to develop an integrated platform connecting human expertise, artificial intelligence, robotics and smart-building systems.

The Company's long-term ambition is to establish operational infrastructure that could support future superintelligence applications in hospitality and the built environment, if such capabilities become available.

The planned platform is intended to help hotel operators coordinate staffing, service delivery, robotic tasks and building performance through a common operational layer. YYForce aims to connect information from hotel systems and IoT sensors with workflows that enable people, robots and connected equipment to respond to operational needs.

Building Operational Infrastructure for Future Superintelligence

YYForce's proposed approach is intended to bring together human judgment and service expertise, AI-assisted forecasting and planning, robotics and humanoid systems for suitable physical tasks, and IoT-enabled monitoring and control. Development priorities include data integration, task coordination, outcome verification and human supervision.

For example, as envisioned, a connected workflow could potentially use checkout information to schedule housekeeping, allocate suitable robotic support and adjust room lighting and cooling within approved comfort limits. Completion records and sensor feedback would potentially help operators verify room readiness and assess operational performance.

"Our ambition is to give increasingly capable AI a practical way to understand and support real hotel operations," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. "By connecting people, robotics and building systems, we aim to turn operational information into coordinated action and measurable results. Over time, we believe this infrastructure could support future superintelligence applications, while keeping operational authority and accountability clearly defined."

Connecting Smart Building Upgrades with the Superintelligence Vision

As part of this direction, YYForce plans to integrate hotel upgrade solutions involving occupancy and environmental sensors, lighting controls, temperature management, equipment monitoring and maintenance workflows. The objective is to help properties improve guest comfort, reduce avoidable energy consumption and respond earlier to equipment issues.

The Company intends to support hotels' progress toward lower-carbon operations through energy monitoring, operational optimisation and performance measurement. Smart-building upgrades alone do not establish net-zero carbon status. Any future net-zero claims would require a defined emissions boundary, verified performance and appropriate measures addressing energy supply and remaining emissions.

A Measured Development Path Toward Future Superintelligence Applications

YYForce's proposed development approach would begin with defined hospitality workflows, establish performance baselines and evaluate results before expanding automation. Intended evaluation areas include service completion, room readiness, workforce productivity, energy use and reliability. Improvements would be tested before wider deployment, with human escalation and operating limits appropriate to each application.

The superintelligence vision is a long-term strategic ambition. YYForce is not announcing that it has developed artificial general intelligence or artificial superintelligence. The near-term focus is an integrated operational platform; any future use of superintelligent systems would depend on advances in underlying AI capabilities and successful technical and operational validation.

*Introducing the industry's first Industrial AI Agents at the Edge, providing a practical pathway to Physical AI

*Built on HPE Private Cloud AI, autonomous AI agents operate directly within industrial environments, continuously monitoring, reasoning, and optimizing operations in real time

*Addresses three key barriers to industrial AI adoption at scale: data sovereignty, cybersecurity and AI consumption costs

BERLIN, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA and HPE to accelerate the adoption of Physical AI across process and heavy industries.

While much of today's Physical AI conversation is focused on robotics, humanoids and autonomous machines, process industries face a distinctly different challenge. Operators must manage complex, continuous operations where reliability, safety, cybersecurity and energy efficiency are critical to performance. Yet until now, there has been no clear blueprint for how Physical AI can be practically applied across these complex environments.

Schneider Electric, NVIDIA & HPE share a vision to bring AI closer to industrial operations, embedding intelligence directly within the environments where decisions are made and value is created. As an initial demonstration of this vision, the companies are today introducing Industrial AI Agents at the Edge.

The solution combines HPE Private Cloud AI, co-engineered with NVIDIA within the HPE AI Factory with NVIDIA portfolio Schneider Electric's deep operational technology expertise to enable organizations to securely deploy and scale AI applications at the industrial edge, bringing real-time intelligence closer to critical operations while maintaining control over sensitive data, security and costs.

Many industrial organizations continue to face challenges when scaling AI across operational environments. Requirements around data governance, cybersecurity, operational performance and AI deployment can create barriers to broader adoption. By operating at the edge, the solution helps address three challenges that continue to limit industrial AI at scale:

Data sovereignty. Critical operational data is often too valuable, sensitive or regulated to move beyond operational boundaries. HPE Private Cloud AI provides the secure foundation for Industrial AI Agents at the Edge, enabling organizations to deploy AI close to operations while maintaining control, security, and compliance.

Cybersecurity. Increased connectivity can introduce additional risk across industrial and critical infrastructure environments. HPE Private Cloud AI reduces the attack surface by keeping and processing the data close to its source.

AI consumption costs. As AI usage grows, cloud-based inference, data transfer and token-related costs can increase, creating challenges for organizations looking to scale AI across sites, assets and operations. Deploying AI at the edge with HPE Private Cloud AI can help reduce some of these costs while providing greater control over where and how AI workloads are executed.

Through Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Industrial Insights apps customers can deploy, manage and govern multiple Industrial AI Agents through a single environment, simplifying lifecycle management, security oversight and maintaining full control of critical operations and infrastructure.

The first Industrial AI Agents focus on operational technology monitoring, cybersecurity and energy optimization. Their practical application can already be seen in industrial environments with companies such as CMPC Chile.

Operational Technology Monitoring System in Production: CMPC

The foundation for this next step is already proven at CMPC Chile, part of Empresas CMPC S.A., one of Latin America's largest pulp, paper and packaging producers. For the past three years, CMPC Chile has used Schneider Electric's OTMS in production to monitor the health and availability of control systems across its continuous pulp and paper operations.

OTMS provides CMPC's teams with a unified view of control systems, servers, workstations and switches, helping specialists identify emerging issues earlier, diagnose problems faster and establish clearer maintenance priorities. This proven deployment demonstrates the value of OTMS as a control-system monitoring solution and provides a strong operational foundation for the future introduction of Industrial AI Agents, with the potential to accelerate investigation and decision-making while keeping people in control of critical action.

The first three Industrial AI Agents at the edge

OT Monitoring Agents: Combines real-time operational data, equipment configurations, process topology, alarms, maintenance history and engineering context to understand the physical state of industrial operations. The agents identify emerging issues, reasons about likely operational impacts, recommends or initiates corrective actions, and verifies that the intervention delivers the expected physical outcome.

Cybersecurity Agents: Correlates network activity, control system behaviour, asset configurations, operational events and process context to detect abnormal conditions. The agents assess potential impacts on industrial operations, recommends or executes response measures, and validates that systems have returned to a secure and stable state.

Energy Optimization Agents: Integrates process data, energy consumption patterns, equipment performance, operating conditions and production requirements to understand how energy is used across industrial operations. The agents identify optimization opportunities, recommends or implements adjustments, and verifies the resulting impact on energy efficiency, operational performance and sustainability outcomes.

"The next generation of industrial innovation will be driven by intelligence embedded directly into industrial operations," said Gwenaelle Huet, Executive Vice President, Industrial Automation, Schneider Electric. "While much of today's focus is on autonomous machines, we see a significant opportunity to apply Physical AI to the industrial systems that power the world's critical industries. Together with NVIDIA and HPE, we are bringing together expertise in automation, AI and edge computing to help customers transform operational data into action, improving resilience, efficiency, cybersecurity and sustainability while laying the foundation for more autonomous industrial operations."

"Industrial operations generate vast amounts of data, but turning that data into action remains one of industry's biggest challenges. By combining NVIDIA Nemotron open AI models and HPE Private Cloud AI, a turnkey AI factory solution, with Schneider Electric's industrial expertise and OTMS platform, Industrial AI Agents can monitor, reason and optimize operations in real time, accelerating the path to Physical AI for process industries," commented Sri Kodali, Global Head of Developer Relations - Energy and Utilities at NVIDIA.

"Industrial organizations see real opportunities to use AI, and they want to be sure their sensitive data and critical systems will remain protected. Through our collaboration with NVIDIA and Schneider Electric, we're helping customers use HPE Private Cloud AI to bring AI closer to where their data is generated and decisions are made. This gives customers a way to expand AI use across their facilities while maintaining the security, privacy and control their businesses require," said Alexia Clements, SVP, Hybrid Cloud Solution Sales at HPE.

"For the past three years, OTMS has helped us improve visibility into the health and availability of our control systems. In continuous industrial operations, identifying issues early is critical to protecting production and avoiding costly disruption. Looking ahead, we see significant potential for AI Agents to build on this proven foundation, helping our specialists investigate issues faster and move more effectively from insight to action, while keeping people in control of critical decisions," said Mat?as Jory, Digital & Process Manager, Industrial Operations Vice-Presidency, CMP.

Together, Schneider Electric, NVIDIA and HPE are creating the foundation for the next generation of industrial operations, where intelligent systems can continuously monitor, reason and optimize performance. Over time, these capabilities will help automate the automation, enabling safer, more efficient and increasingly autonomous operations across process industries.

LONDON/HOUSTON/SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wood Mackenzie | www.woodmac.com

Geopolitical disruptions, resource nationalism and an escalating power crunch are reshaping global base metals markets, according to Wood Mackenzie's latest analysis. As the global data centre pipeline surpasses 250 GW, demand for power infrastructure is accelerating competition for copper, aluminium and other strategic materials.

The metals impact of AI extends well beyond data centres themselves. Transmission networks, substations and dedicated power generation can require three to four times more metal than the facilities they support, creating a new source of structural demand alongside electrification and energy security investment.

Yet upstream investment is struggling to keep pace. Despite elevated commodity prices, project sanctioning remains below expectations as permitting delays, geopolitical uncertainty and increasing project complexity weigh on investment decisions. The challenge comes as governments place greater emphasis on supply-chain resilience and critical mineral security.

"Data centres represent an economy-wide power infrastructure challenge, but the bigger story is the collision between accelerating demand and increasingly complex supply delivery," said Lindsay Grant, Vice President of Metals and Mining Research at Wood Mackenzie. "High prices should trigger investment, yet project sanctioning remains below expectations. Without faster approvals and investment commitments, the industry cannot deliver the mine supply needed to support future growth."

Wood Mackenzie's analysis highlights four structural themes shaping metals markets and investment decisions through 2036.

Wood Mackenzie's analysis identifies four structural data points shaping base metals markets through 2036.

Copper: Record prices of US$14,759/t reflect severe refined market dislocation, with US stockpiling pushing domestic cover above 170 days while leaving the rest of the world in a 460 kt deficit. While Chilean mine output falls 5.2% in 2026, global mine supply is set to expand by more than 5% next year, ending three years of stagnant growth.  

Aluminium: A supply shock from Middle East smelter damage cut almost 2% of global primary output, driving a 1 Mt deficit in 2026 despite Chinese operating rates reaching 99% and Indonesia producing 1.3 Mt. While the market is projected to return to surplus in 2027 as Indonesian output scales toward 3 Mt by 2030, underlying fundamentals remain supportive.  

Nickel markets are expected to rebalance in 2026 as Indonesian supply restrictions curb production, with Class 2 supply tightening from 2027. Despite Class 1 oversupply and weak battery demand, prices are forecast to recover towards US$19,000/t by 2030, subject to Indonesian policies and sulphur supply disruptions.

Lithium and energy storage: lithium carbonate prices up approximately 130% from mid-2025 lows, yet raw lithium carbonate represents just 2% to 3% of turnkey storage project costs; US$60 billion invested in the lithium supply chain over the past decade, with US$150 billion to US$250 billion more required through the 2050s.

Electrification, geopolitics and AI: the demand context

Wood Mackenzie is tracking more than 250 GW of data centre projects globally, over three times the pipeline a year ago. AI data centre electricity demand is forecast to increase fivefold between 2025 and 2030 and exceed 1,000 TWh by 2035. In Asia Pacific, demand is projected to nearly triple by 2030, while grid constraints are increasingly forcing operators to consider higher-cost microgrid and off-grid power solutions. In Japan, data centres come online in less than five years against upwards of ten for grid upgrades, driving adoption of microgrids and off-grid generation at two to three times the cost of grid-connected power.

Copper: Supply constraints and inventory hoarding mask underlying demand

Physical copper markets remain distorted by US stockpiling and trade policy, which have pushed inventory cover above 170 days domestically while leaving the rest of the world with just 48 days and a 450 kt deficit. Although global mine supply is expected to grow by more than 5% next year, the longer-term challenge is investment. Wood Mackenzie estimates the industry must deliver approximately 850 ktpa of new greenfield copper supply annually over the coming decade, yet permitting, geopolitical risk and increasing project complexity continue to constrain development.

Aluminium: primary deficits and grid substitution

The aluminium market faces a supply shock this year after attacks in the Middle East damaged two of the world's largest smelters, knocking out almost 2% of global primary production and pushing the 2026 balance into a 1 Mt deficit. High aluminium prices and premiums, combined with low alumina costs, encouraged smelters worldwide to ramp up capacity and restart idled electrolytic cells. This was particularly evident in China, where operating rates reached 99% and output slightly exceeded the national capacity cap.

However, this additional volume and Indonesia's rapid growth (reaching 1.3 Mt in 2026 and scaling to just under 3 Mt by 2030) were not enough to eliminate the shortfall. While the market is projected to return to surplus in 2027 as prices soften, medium-term fundamentals remain supportive, leaving faster-than-expected Indonesian expansion and broader economic weakness as the only notable downside risks.

Nickel: structural bifurcation between Class I and Class II

The nickel market is returning toward balance in 2026 following several years of oversupply, with global refined output contracting by 2% in the first annual decline since 2015. However, this headline stability masks a deep structural bifurcation. The Class II segment faces widening deficits from 2027, as Indonesian NPI production consolidates below its 2025 peak under the weight of tighter RKAB mining quotas, falling ore grades, and recent El Ni?o-related drought disruptions.

In response, Chinese stainless steel mills are structurally increasing their use of scrap and Class I cathode in melt mixtures to hedge against shrinking NPI availability. Conversely, the Class I and chemical segments face ongoing surplus from expanding Indonesian HPAL projects and Chinese refining capacity, though localised sulphur supply constraints and power bottlenecks continue to present operational risks to new project delivery.  

Battery technology and energy storage: LFP dominance and the chemistry transition

LFP will dominate the mass battery market through 2030, driven by Chinese exports, rapid gigafactory expansion and significant advances in charging speed. CATL's third-generation Shenxing battery targets a 10% to 80% charge in under four minutes. European automakers are pivoting toward LFP to preserve margins as global EV adoption accelerates across Europe and emerging markets, though subsidy changes have stalled US momentum.

Beyond LFP, alternative chemistries are advancing on distinct timelines. In April 2026, CATL secured a three-year, 60 GWh sodium-ion supply agreement with HiTHIUM Energy Storage, marking the technology's transition to industrial-scale commercialisation, with large-scale shipments in China beginning in Q3 2026. Wood Mackenzie projects battery module cost parity between sodium-ion and LFP by 2035. Solid-state battery mass-production timelines have compressed toward 2030, supported by strong Chinese policy backing.

Lithium and storage economics: capital requirements and price dynamics

Lithium carbonate prices fell to a multi-year low in mid-2025 before rebounding approximately 130% by 2026, but this volatility does not translate directly into higher project costs. Raw lithium carbonate represents just 2% to 3% of total costs in a typical 100 MW, four-hour turnkey storage system. An 83% price rise in Q1 2026 translated to only a 9% increase in LFP cell prices and an approximate 10% rise in turnkey system costs. Reference price lags of four to eight months provide further insulation, though cell offer validity periods have tightened to as little as two weeks.

Investors have deployed US$60 billion in the lithium supply chain over the past decade, supporting a tenfold increase in global refined chemical supply. Meeting demand through the 2050s will require a further US$150 billion to US$250 billion. Chinese developers achieve significantly higher capital efficiency than Western counterparts, meaning equivalent investment delivers proportionally more production capacity. Western markets need to broaden their capital pools to support ex-China supply chain development and safeguard domestic automotive manufacturing.

Across copper, aluminium, nickel and lithium, the common thread is that future supply depends on investment decisions being made today," Grant added. "Markets are adapting to a world where security of supply, energy availability and geopolitical considerations increasingly sit alongside cost competitiveness in shaping investment outcomes.

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 22 October 2026 - Leading global smart device brand OPPO today announced the global launch of its latest flagship smartphones, Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max.

Built to be a "Hasselblad True-to-Life Camera," Find X10 Series brings major advances in camera hardware and computational photography to deliver a more true-to-life imaging experience. Beyond imaging, the series introduces refined designs, upgraded displays, larger batteries, flagship performance and the new ColorOS 17.

"Find X Series has always been driven by our commitment to push mobile imaging forward and help people effortlessly capture the beauty of life," said Pete Lau, SVP and Chief Product Officer at OPPO. "With Find X10 Series, we are making one of our biggest leaps yet in mobile imaging. From an industry-first Triple 200MP Camera System on Find X10 Pro Max to the next-generation LUMO True Image Engine, Find X10 Series is built to reproduce the world as you see it and keep every shot true to the moment."

Industry-First Triple 200MP Camera System

Find X10 Series introduces a new-generation camera system co-developed with Hasselblad. Find X10 features a Dual 200MP Camera System, while Find X10 Pro Max pushes further with a Triple 200MP Camera System, bringing 200MP resolution across all three rear cameras.

On Find X10 Pro Max, the Hasselblad 200MP Ultra-Wide Camera features a large 1/1.56-inch sensor that captures twice as much light as the previous generation, paired with a 124? ultra-wide autofocus lens. The Hasselblad 200MP Ultra HDR Main Camera uses the new 1/1.28-inch ISOCELL HPC sensor, jointly developed by OPPO and Samsung and featuring DeepPix technology for breakthrough HDR performance. Completing the system, the Hasselblad 200MP Telephoto Camera combines an ultra-fast f/2.1 aperture with a 10cm minimum focusing distance, enabling cleaner low-light telephoto shots while also doubling as a telemacro camera.

Making this high-resolution hardware more practical for everyday use, Find X10 Series introduces industry-first 26MP default capture from ultra-wide through 9.9x. This delivers substantially more detail than conventional 12MP capture while keeping file sizes manageable. For maximum resolution, users can switch to Hasselblad Hi-Res Mode to capture 50MP or 200MP images on supported cameras.

To reach even further, the OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter extends the capabilities of the 200MP telephoto camera on both Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max. With 3.28x optical magnification, it opens up new possibilities for capturing distant subjects, from concerts and cityscapes to wildlife.

LUMO True Image Engine: True-to-Life Imaging

Building on its breakthrough camera hardware, Find X10 Series debuts OPPO's next-generation computational photography solution, LUMO True Image Engine. By combining OPPO's latest imaging expertise with a more natural approach to image processing, LUMO True Image Engine is designed to preserve true-to-life color, tone and detail, helping photos stay faithful to the original scene.

Accurately reproducing color can be especially challenging under complex or mixed lighting. Find X10 Series features a New-Generation True Color Camera to capture richer multispectral color information from the surrounding environment. With this additional data, LUMO True Image Engine can reproduce colors more accurately across different lighting conditions, from subtle landscape tones to natural-looking skin tones.

For tonal rendering, LUMO True Image Engine brings the distinctive tonal approach of Hasselblad Master Mode into the default Photo mode. Rather than aggressively brightening every part of an image, it preserves the natural relationship between light and shadow, helping retain depth and atmosphere in challenging scenes such as backlit portraits.

LUMO True Image Engine also takes a more restrained approach to detail processing. By reducing excessive sharpening, noise reduction and AI-generated detail, it preserves more of the genuine texture and optical detail captured by the camera.

Combining LUMO True Image Engine with the 200MP camera system, which captures richer optical information at the source, Find X10 Series delivers images that stay true not only to the scene itself, but to the richness of the moment as it was experienced.

Professional Video Across Every Focal Length

Find X10 Series brings major upgrades to video. Find X10 supports 4K 60fps recording across all rear cameras, with its 200MP main and telephoto cameras additionally supporting 4K 120fps and 8K 30fps. Find X10 Pro Max takes this further, with all three 200MP rear cameras supporting 4K 60fps, 4K 120fps and 8K 30fps, delivering consistently high-quality video across focal lengths.

On Find X10 Pro Max, DeepPix technology on the 200MP main camera enables up to 17 stops of dynamic range, preserving more information across highlights and shadows in demanding scenes. Whether shooting a backlit portrait, illuminated signs in a city nightscape or fireworks against a dark sky, creators can retain more detail across both the brightest and darkest parts of the frame.

For more advanced production workflows, Find X10 Series supports Dolby Vision, ACES-certified O-Log2 and, for the first time on an OPPO smartphone, Open Gate Capture. Open Gate uses the full imaging area of the sensor to capture more of the original frame, giving creators greater flexibility to crop and reframe the same footage for different aspect ratios during post-production.

OPPO has also worked closely with Blackmagic Design to bring key Find X10 Series capabilities directly into Blackmagic Camera[1], including Dolby Vision, O-Log2 and Open Gate Capture, giving creators greater flexibility within a familiar professional shooting workflow.

For Find X10 Pro Max, the dedicated Tilta Khronos Creator Kit further extends its capabilities for professional shooting. The kit includes an additional handle, a 67mm filter adapter, an adapter for the OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter, and an active cooling fan to help manage device temperature during extended video recording. Together, these accessories better equip creators for longer and more demanding shoots.

OPPO has also worked closely with Meta to optimize the video-sharing experience on Instagram. With Find X10 Series, users can now enjoy near-lossless video quality from capture to share, helping preserve the detail, color and overall look of the original footage when shared on Instagram.

Refined Design with BT.2020 Displays

Find X10 Series carries forward the Find X Series' clean and sophisticated design language. Its all-new Borderless Design features One-Piece Sculpted Glass that flows seamlessly into the camera module, softening the visual impact of the camera bump for a clean, cohesive look.

Find X10 will be available in Glacier Blue, Glow Coral and Mist Grey, with Find X10 Pro Max offered in Titanium Grey and Luna White. Inspired by classic cameras, Luna White combines a silver LUMO Camera Island, a signature matte orange accent ring on the camera module and a distinctive two-tone finish.

Find X10 Series also offers comprehensive durability, with IP66, IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance[2], alongside SGS Five-Star Drop Resistance Certification.

Both models feature flagship displays with ultra-thin symmetrical bezels. Find X10 combines a compact 6.59-inch display with an easy-to-hold form, while Find X10 Pro Max features a larger 6.78-inch display. Both support up to a 144Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate and 3,600 nits peak brightness, with Dolby Vision certification. For more comfortable viewing in low light, the displays can dim to just 1 nit and support up to 3,840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to help reduce visible flicker.

Thanks to a new generation of OLED light-emitting materials, Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max are also among the first smartphones to support the BT.2020 color gamut. Compared with DCI-P3, BT.2020 covers around 40% more color space and is widely used in professional film production. When displaying HDR content, Find X10 Series can reproduce a broader range of colors, particularly in scenes with bright, saturated elements such as fireworks and vivid natural landscapes.

Massive Battery, Flagship Performance

Both Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max feature up to an 8,000mAh OPPO Silicon-Carbon Battery[3], delivering a substantial upgrade in battery life. Whether capturing photos, recording video, gaming or simply getting through a busy day, the larger battery gives users greater confidence to keep going without constantly worrying about power.

Both models support 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging, enabling fast and convenient top-ups whenever needed.

Find X10 is powered by the 3nm MediaTek Dimensity 9600M. Find X10 Pro Max steps up to the flagship 2nm MediaTek Dimensity 9600 Pro. Both are paired with advanced vapor chamber cooling to help sustain performance under demanding workloads. The result is fast, sustained performance across imaging, AI, gaming and everyday multitasking.

ColorOS 17: Silky Smooth. Flow with AI

Find X10 Series debuts ColorOS 17, delivering a new level of smoothness alongside more intelligent, system-level AI capabilities.

The new Living Flow Design makes interactions feel more natural, continuous and responsive across the system. Luminous Effect adds softer visuals and greater depth, Fluid Motion enables interface elements to move and transform seamlessly, while Flexible Feedback makes controls respond more naturally to touch.

Powering this ultra-smooth experience, the Luminous Rendering Engine improves rendering efficiency, while the Laminar Flow Engine intelligently coordinates system resources to maintain fast and responsive performance. Compared with ColorOS 16, app launch stability improves by 55%, Gallery thumbnails load up to 50% faster on first launch, and ColorOS 17 can keep over 25% more apps running in the background for smoother multitasking[4].

ColorOS 17 also brings more capable system-level AI experiences. AI Mind Pilot with Agent Mode allows users to ask AI to work directly with photos and files stored on the device, search across information and coordinate multiple steps to complete more complex tasks, from organizing files and planning trips to creating presentations and webpages. Through OPPO's collaboration with Manus, AI Mind Pilot with Agent Mode combines Manus' agentic capabilities with ColorOS 17's system-level integration.

AI Photo Agent makes advanced photo editing more intuitive while staying true to the natural look of the original scene. It can analyze a photo and recommend suitable adjustments based on the scene and subject, apply targeted edits through natural-language instructions, or use Style Match to understand the color palette, tone and overall mood of a reference image before applying a similar look to the user's own photo[5].

Privacy and security remain at the core of ColorOS 17. AI Call Guard uses on-device AI to detect emerging fraud risks such as synthetic voices and AI face swaps during calls[6]. OPPO's Private Computing Cloud protects cloud-based AI processing with end-to-end encryption and new post-quantum security capabilities.

By developing an integrated supply chain and franchise support system, QooQoo has strengthened its ability to manage ingredient sourcing, maintain quality standards, and oversee restaurant operations.

In South Korea, QooQoo Premium Buffet has earned numerous industry accolades, including six consecutive wins at the Brand of the Year Awards in the sushi buffet category. The brand has also appeared multiple times on Maeil Business Newspaper's list of 100 leading franchise brands and received ministerial-level awards in 2024 and 2025.

For Vincom Retail, the addition of QooQoo would do more than bring another major international F&B brand into its portfolio. It would also create opportunities to introduce new restaurant concepts to the Vietnamese market. Leveraging its extensive retail property network, customer reach, and experience working with international brands, Vincom Retail supports its partners in identifying suitable locations, expanding their market presence, and building brand awareness.

In turn, QooQoo's experience in restaurant chain management, supply chain capabilities, and diverse brand portfolio are expected to further enrich the dining options available at Vincom shopping malls, making them more attractive to families and consumers eager to explore international cuisines.
