Joins Solar & Storage Live Africa 2026

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 April 2026 – XTransfer, the World’s Leading B2B Cross-Border Trade Payment Platform, reinforced its commitment to serving SMEs across Africa through its participation in major regional events. Following the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026 in Rwanda, XTransfer joined the Solar & Storage Live Africa 2026 in Johannesburg. These engagements reflect XTransfer’s growing focus on enabling legitimate, secure cross-border trade that supports real-economy supply chains across the continent.

As Africa’s premier energy event, “Solar & Storage Live Africa 2026″ convened more than 650 local and international exhibitors showcasing products, technologies and solutions. XTransfer‘s participation comes as it continues to expand in Africa, helping SMEs engaged in international trade access a more unified payment experience. In many markets, SMEs still face friction when making and receiving trade payments, including complex processes and delays that can strain cash flow and disrupt supply chains. Where reliable options are limited, some businesses may feel pressured to rely on informal channels, creating avoidable compliance and transparency risks for the wider ecosystem.

To address these challenges, XTransfer works with international and local banks and financial institutions to strengthen payment infrastructure and facilitate compliant trade payments. In Africa, XTransfer partners with Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, to support importers in Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa to pay for goods conveniently in local currency, while helping Asian exporters receive reliable settlement, supporting smoother trade flows across key Africa–Asia corridors.

By continuing to invest in partnerships and local market capabilities, XTransfer aims to help more African SMEs participate confidently in borderless trading and to support the supply chains, accelerating the continent’s energy transition.

Long recognized as Thailand’s elite seaside retreat, this coastal gem is now ranked among the world’s top real estate growth markets, offering world-class Branded Residences that deliver yields of 7–9%, outperforming non-branded counterparts by 50–80%, according to CBRE Thailand. Ideally positioned around three hours from Bangkok, the capital city, Hua Hin is being elevated into a “Heaven City” and a premier global destination for high-end living and strategic real estate investment. Driven by massive infrastructure development and a shift toward world-class well-being, it has become the top choice for High-Net-Worth Individuals seeking pristine nature, tranquility, and modern luxury within reach of major international metropolises.

Strategically bridging Bangkok and the Southern Economic Corridor, Hua Hin is emerging as a Global Wellness Tourism Hub and a Safe Haven for HNWIs and discerning investors.

Beyond infrastructure, Hua Hin delivers a lifestyle ecosystem, from a world-class Medical Hub with multilingual healthcare and Elite International Education, to a Golfer’s Paradise with championship courses, a world-class vineyard estate, vibrant art scenes, and creative night markets.

The pinnacle of this evolution is Dusit Ajara Hua Hin.

Designed for multi-generational living, it stands as the first low-rise residential project in Asia developed under the Fitwel: Low Rise Residential standard, a leading evidence-based global certification focused on enhancing health and well-being through optimized indoor environments. With its low-density approach, the project champions sustainable well-being. Its signature “Bridging Oasis” concept delivers over 60% green space, seamlessly connecting seven buildings through lush landscaping.

HONG KONG SAR & NEW YORK, UNITED STATES – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 April 2026 – Wallace Woo Studio officially announces the launch of a groundbreaking artistic framework: Geological Abstractionism. This announcement coincides with the formal registration of the manifesto, The Dimension of Sedimentation, assigned with ISBN 978-988-71890-2-2.

“Refining a lifetime of meditative practice and artistic devotion, Wallace Woo presents a theoretical system that redefines the relationship between time, matter, and the canvas. At the core of this movement is Stalactite Aesthetics — a visual language born from a life’s journey, where ‘Time does not flow away; it sediments.’”

“Geological Abstractionism is not merely a style; it is an internal geology,” says Wallace Woo. “Each layer of pigment represents a moment of consciousness, crystallized through gravity and spiritual stillness, mirroring the millennia-long formation of stalactites in the natural world.”

Key Highlights of the Manifesto:

• The Dimension of Sedimentation: A philosophical shift from “capturing a moment” to “accumulating time.”
• Stalactite Aesthetics: Utilizing verticality and the inherent weight of media to express the “Clamorous Stillness.”
• Intellectual Property: The formal ISBN registration marks a significant step in establishing a new academic lineage within contemporary abstraction.

This global announcement serves as a prelude to Woo’s upcoming solo exhibition in Paris (June 2026) at Espace Temple Gallery, where the physical manifestations of this theory will be unveiled to the European art community.

• Asia Pacific holds the largest share of ranked markets on the Index for the first time in more than a decade, claiming 10 out of 25 spots.
• Japan, China, Singapore, South Korea and India see leaps in ranking as Thailand and Malaysia re-enter the top 25.
• Technological and innovation capabilities emerges as the most important factor shaping investment decisions.
• Industrial policy is now critical in investment decisions, with 84 percent of investors citing it as extremely or very important.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 April 2026 – Kearney’s Global Business Policy Council today released the 2026 Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index (FDICI), an annual survey of global business executives that ranks markets most likely to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) over the next three years. The 2026 Index sees Asia Pacific (APAC) claiming the largest share of the ranked markets (10 out of 25) for the first time in more than a decade, amid a global investment environment shaped by intensifying geopolitical tensions, expanding industrial policy, and accelerating technological competition.

The survey, conducted in January 2026 among more than 500 senior executives from leading corporations worldwide, shows that companies remain committed to international investment despite mounting uncertainty. Eighty-eight percent of respondents say they plan to increase foreign direct investment over the next three years, signaling sustained confidence in long-term global opportunities.

The United States and Canada retain their first and second positions on the Index. Japan rises to third, and China (including Hong Kong) climbs to fourth. Singapore (8^th), South Korea (11^th) and India (22^nd) post gains as Thailand (20^th) and Malaysia (21^st) re-enter the top 25 list after three and 12 years respectively— reflecting a strong showing from APAC.

“The APAC region emerges as a winner as investors recalibrate how they make decisions in a more turbulent operating environment,” said Shigeru Sekinada, Region Chair, Asia Pacific at Kearney. “The technological capability, economic growth potential, and geopolitical relevance offered by the top-ranking APAC markets make them choice FDI destinations among a business community that is both actively pursuing emerging opportunities and attentive to mounting complexities and risks.”

Middle powers and emerging markets attract renewed investor interest

Most APAC markets in the top 25 list saw improvements in rankings, but none as remarkable as Singapore, which rose from 15^th to 8^th place. This leap can be attributed to the city-state’s reputation as a hub for R&D and innovation, supported by tax incentives, research grants, and partnerships. One third (34 percent) of investors in the survey cite Singapore’s technological innovation as the strongest reason to invest there, followed by its economic performance (30 percent), driven by expansions in biomedical manufacturing and electronics, and sustained AI-driven semiconductor and server related growth.

Singapore’s significant gain in this year’s Index, alongside those of markets like Saudi Arabia, reflects the rise of “middle powers”—markets that are neither great powers nor small states but still exercise meaningful influence in international politics and generally abide by global rules and norms.

Meanwhile, emerging markets remain dynamic and increasingly interconnected with global investment flows. China ranks as the top market on the Emerging Markets Index for the third consecutive year. Thailand and Malaysia (6^th and 7^th on the Emerging Markets Index) post some of the largest gains in the rankings while Vietnam (16^th) rises three spots.Investor sentiment toward emerging markets has improved modestly year over year, suggesting that companies are increasingly looking beyond traditional investment hubs as they expand supply chains and pursue growth opportunities across a broader set of emerging markets.

Innovation drives investment decisions

Technological and innovation capabilities rank as the most important factor influencing where companies choose to invest, surpassing traditional considerations such as regulatory efficiency and domestic economic performance. As investment in artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and data-driven technologies accelerates worldwide, markets with strong innovation ecosystems are increasingly viewed as the most attractive destinations for long-term investment.

Investors cite technological innovation as the strongest or tied strongest reason to invest in 10 of the 25 markets on the Index, including Japan, China, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan (China).

Geopolitical risk and industrial policy reshape the investment landscape

Executives remain alert to rising global risks even as investment intentions remain strong. Geopolitical tensions rank as the most likely development over the next year (36 percent), followed by commodity price increases and political instability in developed markets (30 percent).

“Geopolitical instability and rising commodity prices have proven to be major factors impacting global business this year, as reflected in the current Middle East conflict. Supply chain resilience, diversification of energy sources and government policies will be crucial for markets to maintain their attractiveness in the eyes of investors in the medium term,” said Sekinada.

At the same time, industrial policy is playing an increasingly central role in shaping investment decisions. According to the survey, 84 percent of investors globally say industrial policy is extremely or very important in determining where they invest, and 57 percent believe it has a positive impact on their company’s business performance. APAC investors show strong support for infrastructure development and subsidies as the most effective industrial policy tools, with 88 percent of investors in the region viewing infrastructure-focused industrial policy as favorable, and 80 percent saying the same for subsidies.

About the 2026 Kearney FDI Confidence Index®

The 2026 Kearney FDI Confidence Index^® is constructed using primary data from a proprietary survey of 507 senior executives of the world’s leading corporations. The survey was conducted in January 2026. Respondents include C-level executives and regional and business leaders. All participating companies have annual revenues of $500 million or more. The companies are headquartered in 30 countries and span all sectors.

The Index is calculated as a weighted average of the number of high, medium, and low responses to questions on the likelihood of making a direct investment in a select market over the next three years.

Index values are based on responses only from companies headquartered in foreign markets. For example, the Index value for the United States was calculated without responses from US-headquartered investors. Higher Index values indicate more attractive investment targets.
